Once again my gut feeling says yes but I can't prove it.

I particularly like the EQ knobs -- very interactive and flexible and yet easy to use IMO.
Still lovin' the Little Jazz even though it has recently been supplanted by my new Fender Pro Junior . . .

I would suspect that the Jazz50 is closer than the standard Micro50, because of the crunch channel, and I'm not sure that is ever completely bypassed.

Kinda late to this party ...
Interested in the DV Mark Micro 50 CMT head. But my preferred cab is 16 ohm. They list power for the CMT head as 60 @ 4 ohms, 50 @ 8 ohms, don't mention 16. Would I burn up the head using 16 ohms?
Thanks.

So nothing will happen to the amp with a 16 Ohm speaker.

Has anyone tried the newer Eric Gales mini head? It looks to have a tube preamp, 150 watts at 8 ohms, and reverb I believe?

I'm really liking the DV Mark Micro 50 Jazz head. I'm playing it through an open back cabinet loaded with a 12" Eminence Cannabis Rex hemp cone speaker. The amp is very warm sounding through this speaker. There has been concern about the fan on this forum, but I have played it for several hours now in total, and the fan has not gone on once. I do wish the head had an XLR out to go to a PA for gigging.
I got the empty cab for less than US$40 on Craigslist and got the speaker with a 20% off coupon from Musician's Friend. The coupon brought the speaker cost to about 60 bucks. When the head went on sale at Music 123 recently for US$199, I jumped on it. For around $300, I now have a new amp I like even better than my Polytone MB II. Sweet!

That's "Little" not "Micro"
"Little" has 250 watts, compares to Greg Howe's signature model...

Some websites recommend an open box for this speaker, but I can see that a closed one has worked better for you.

The ports are only really to enable free movement of the cone so the diy air vents as used in kitchen units are fine. The bottom strip is the same depth and the remaining space in the centre is a removeable panel to enable closed or open back choice. The entire inner surface of the ply was covered with acoustic foam (egg carton shape and stuck with spray contact adhesive). The outer surface was covered in Tolex style covering with piping to the front panel in a contrasting colour. Inset handles, metal corners and rubber feet finished the job. Hope that helps. OOPs! don't forget the speaker cloth)

Hi Graham,
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Really, it helped me a lot, since the dimensions that I found on the web according to the calculations are quite greater, much more than the space I have! Fortunately my box has similar dimensions, so I'm going to try the acoustic foam. Thanks again!

Hi - as a matter of interest, has anyone used the DVMARK 801P acoustic amp?
I am thinking of buying one for my solid wood acoustics (K&K pure mini enabled), and it would be a big plus if I could run a hollow, laminate jazz instrument à la ES-175 through it to good effect.
-
Sorry, no first-hand experience. The specs and demos are convincing, however. For a jazz archtop, you may find the bass end thinnish (but not nonexistent), and the tweeter redundant. If that can be switched off, good. The amp specs resemble what DVMark posts for their Micro 50. I have used that amp to good effect with an acoustic flattop.
-
Sure looks like a Little Jazz. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing.
-
Never seen one except in a picture.
But, I'll take a guess.
Everything about the electronics seems to be exactly the same as the LJ.
The grill on the front is different, suggesting a different type of speaker. The specs refer to a piezo tweeter, which the LJ doesn't have.
Based on a few weeks with a Roland AC60, I developed the impression (based on one amp, which means I'm probably over generalizing) that "acoustic" amps emphasize pick attack. Hard to describe in words, but you sound like a folk guitarist getting a lot of highs.
I couldn't get a sound I liked out of the AC60. I'm very happy with the LJ.
So, I'm guessing that's the difference and whether you like it or not depends on what you want to sound like.
One reason I like the LJ is that it seems to be relative insensitive to a certain frequency range that gives the highest notes on some of my guitars an annoying sizzle. The LJ seems to be voiced not to emphasize that frequency. So, it sounds darker, I guess. However you describe it, it works for what I'm trying to do.
I'm going to venture a guess that the piezo restores those frequencies.
Not a criticism. It's a matter of taste. As always, I suggest buying with a return privilege. I have been very happy with GC's return privilege, which I've used twice.Last edited by rpjazzguitar; 04-09-2020 at 05:05 PM.
