Polytone - all the way. They have problems form time to time but thay are a work horse of an amp. I have used Fenders, Peaveys and other "jazz" guitar amps - I come back to Polytones too. The closest to the PT out all the amps I have owned is the Peavey Bandit 112. If you are never going to run effect pedals other than a chorus or delay - go with the polytone. It is good enough for Jim Hall - check the polytone site.

Hi Juan,
The best possible classic jazz tone is a polytone. I
use a polytone Mega Brute (not mini). It is the
smallest polytone and it has the new sonic circuitry.
It allows me to get the best "classic" tone and is
very simple. I do not run it through any processors.
My guitars include:
Eastman 810 CE (17 inch Archtop)
Howard Roberts Jazz Fusion (center block)
Alvarez Yairi Cy116
Crafters of Tennessee Flat Top
Note, I have tried everything from Fenders, to Mesa
Boogies, Evans,but always came back to Polytone.
There is a reason why so many jazz recordings of
substance were made using these amps.
