Title: Jazz Amp? Post by: Brad737 on November 17, 2007, 03:10:31 AM Hello,
Am I the only one who would like a really, really warm, clean amp for jazz tones? I like a Deluxe Reverb at low volumes. But the DR likes to break up fairly easily. I know most jazz guys like solid state amps for clarity, and clean sounds, but they sound sterile to me. What do you guys think? Brad Title: Re: Jazz Amp?

Mister Shofield used to use Vox AC30, which are very (too) loud but has nice shimmering versus SS`s "cold" sound. I guess nowadays he plays with Mesa Boogies. Many jazzers like Bassman amp too. My personal research has led me toward JTM45 or TW Liverpool, both with some mods/tweaks. But I like little dirt in my jazz. Opinions?
Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Brad737 on November 28, 2007, 03:42:24 PM Well, I'm still holding out hope for a Deluxe Reverb-style amp that just doesn't break up as early. Any mods that I can do for that?
Thanks, Brad Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Alpedra on November 29, 2007, 01:36:01 PM How about a Dumble Overdrive clone?
:P Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: pekkaee on November 29, 2007, 04:58:13 PM Or do Ya think Overtone S instead of Overdrive S ;) ? I wild guess is thet it could be "the best of both worlds". Still waiting soundclips in Overtone section or somewhere. Hope they are not too wonderfull ;D , cause there are any on the market. I think that Nik is too polite! How about Your Tokai LS125? I`m GASsing LS150.
Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Alpedra on November 29, 2007, 05:27:58 PM My Tokai is pretty cool, better than some Gibbies that went through my hands..... but.. maybe I´ll sell it to a friend soon who is quite interested in it.. as I need the money for a second Suhr I have on order ;)
Tokais are really nice "Gibson clones".. I´m just not a Les Paul guy :) Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Kitarist on November 29, 2007, 06:43:52 PM Hm would you sell it to me ? how much do you want for it :D :D
Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Alpedra on November 29, 2007, 09:07:01 PM Sorry.. it´s already taken IF I really decide to sell it :P
Title: Re: Jazz Amp? Post by: Jam-Art on December 12, 2008, 12:30:17 AM I am looking for the right ceriatone model to give me a warm round clean tone ala metheny combined with a controllable touch sensitive overdrive channel. Any thoughts?
I have great luck with a Champ 12, with the four Torres mods in it, but it doesn't have enough clean headroom to get a true clean tone with a drummer. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Jim |
