Does anyone own or have any substantial experience with a Tyler amp and more specifically their PT/JT-14 model?
JT-14 — Tyler Amp Works
Just hoping to hear some opinions as I'm growing out of my affinity towards Polytones and wanting to get a classic tube amp workhorse style amp.
Thanks!

Lots of good tube amps out there -- what do you like about Tyler?
[No prices on the web site always scares me (!!), but I see some on Reverb for decent prices.]
Ricardo Grilli plays them:

If you don't get many responses try TGP (The Gear Page) Amps and Cabs subforum. Tyler amps and that one in particular have come up in the past. Nothing negative that I recall.

I'm wondering specifically about the Tyler amps because Daan Kleijn uses one and his tone is my favorite at moment. For that reason I'm checking out the Tyler amps as a starting point because I really know very little about tube amps( and amps in general). I've been using polytones the past few years and that's pretty much it. The fender deluxe reverb's at my university did not really sound that good in my opinion so I've kind just stuck to the consistency that I get from polytones. Now that I'm out of school I'm really taking time to seek out the tone that I'm after and I think to achieve that a tube amp is a factor.

There are plenty of options in the market including new and used Fender 1x12 Princeton Reissues. There are also used Tyler Princetons hanging on reverb and a used head at Guitar Denter, which comes with a 45-day no-questions return policy.
Happy hunting!
