I have been playing guitar for about 7 years now and am currently
teaching lessons for the past 2. Im recently getting into jazz guitar
and looking to start a quartet but was wondering the best sounding amp
for a deep jazz tone?

Two things..

A big (maybe 15") speaker and just a touch of reverb.

Heavy strings on your guitar.

I spent ages looking for that "Johnny Smith" tone and the answer was
staring me in the face. If you start out with featherlights strings you
end up with featherlight tone no matter what you do - you can`t get out
more than you put in.

Good luck

..s.top your looking ... I've been through a myriad of
maps ever since 1969 ... and the best amp not only for
the money but for the "Jazz" sound IMHO is a Polytone
Minibrute ..

I have the Polytone Minibrute IV and is simply a
luscious and gorgeous sounding amp ... my D'Angelico
sounds so sweet through this amp...

Minibrute.

I was saving up money to buy another guitar, but wound up buying an amp instead. I paid $1,500.00 for a RIVERA Suprema 55 that Rivera makes especially for Lou Del Rosso of Guitars N' Jazz. Rivera modifies them especially for Lou to work with archtop hollow body guitars. It's a tube amp, crystal clear, has miles of head room, puts how your carved top hollowbody actually sounds out there, and only weighs 40 lbs. I'm very happy with it........................come to think of it, I'd better be.

dude buy a polytone
mostly used are mini brute III
try it!
ramon

If you're still young and strong, and don't mind buying tubes... it's pretty tough to beat a nice
Twin. The 65' Twin reissuse is a lot of amp for the money. Otherwise, many love lighter solid
state amps such as Polytone and Acoustic Image .

I read that Polytones have had issues with the power supplies on some
models - does anybody have any experience with this.

Will

The power supply on my Mini-Brute II (1970s) blew. The tech said it was a
common problem with Polytones. Rectifier, I think.

Peter

That`s what I had heard - rectifier was underated.

This kinda depends on personal preference of course and how much money
you can spend. I play jazz through a Line 6, that's right a modeling
amp, true jazzers will have some negativity to share about this I'm
sure. Also, Roland has the Cube 60 which seems to be the amp of
preference but, if you want to play in stereo get the Roland JC120, a
heavy amp but, it sounds great. I've heard the Polytones, wasn't
impressed and I've played on the Mesa Boogies IV, both over priced.
Evans makes a very light weight kick ass amp but again you will spend
from $1200.00 on up, they sound great especially for solo work. For
your quartet idea I would definetly check out the Rolands. hope this
helps.

I use a Webb. 15" JBL and 150 watts (the newer ones are 225 watts).
It is sold as a steel guitar amp. It's very clean and has a lot of
control for tweaking your tone. I've had this amp for almost 30 years
and the only thing that has gone out is the pilot light.

Steve

Save yourself a ton of trouble.....the tone will be in your playing. A good
amp can enhance that, but it wont' create it. I have found that my
preference for amps is the richness of certain tones, and how effective the
amp's EQ is. Polytone's, Roland Cubes, whatever....even a POD or a V-Amp
will get you in the ballpark. If it ain't in your technique, you won't find
it in the amp.

I love my cube 60, has a clean jazz channel, lead channel has a
couple of nice fender type models, I love both sounds. I like the
chorus and other effects. I heard many bad things about the polytone
and was scared out of buying. At half the price I cant imagine a
better amp than the cube. Im more happy with it than anything ive
bought . Did I mention that I really like it. Light too for the
power.
Good luck

I've got a Roland JC120, but have been considering a Fender '65 Twin Reverb reissue with the single 15" speaker. I'm not getting the kind of bottom end I want from the JC120. Has anyone played through one of the new Fender's? The idea of a 15" speaker is giving me visions of bottom end heaven! ;)

Ray

I am not sure what deep means... However I like the fender hot rod
deluxe....

Hello all,

So which model exactly? and what price new or used do you think is reasonable?

Thanks,
Don

My main amp used to be a Fender Deluxe 112. 65W solid state with a single
12" speaker. Weighed about 30lbs, had nice reverb and a good clean tone.
People seem to ask about $150, but they go for less.

The jazz ensemble I played with in high school had a 4x10" Fender Blues
Deville. That was a fun amp! Great tone with my les paul & flatwound 11's.
Heavy one though.

-mike

I use two vintage amps that are currently available as reissues: a
Fender Deluxe Reverb (JBL E series) and a Vibroverb w/ a 15" JBL D130.
They both have good bass response, but the 15" wins. I also use an
older Polytone "Mini-Teeny-Tiny-Baby-Brute" that has like a 8-in.
speaker and 100 watts, a little square box that's pretty powerful.
