I've played and owned many Jazz amps since the late 70's including the usual suspects, but as I got older I wanted something that was light to carry to gigs too. After trying a lot of the smaller lighter amps, I ended up with the DV Mark 50 Watt "Guitar Friend" 1 X 12 combo. It's pretty much like a Fender Silverface Twin but in a smaller enclosure with a 1x12" Neo speaker that sounds amazing! It only weights like 16-18 pounds. I've gotten a ton of compliments by other musicians on the huge tone fat tone it has. DV Mark also makes the "Jazz 12" which is pretty much the same amp but with a darker tone and more lows. The best thing about this beauty is that it only costs around $300 +

Supro!
Check out the new line of small tube amps from Supro. Super warm sounding, and low noise. I have two-- a 10-inch and a 12-inch speaker model.

I'm very happy with my Henriksen Bud. It certainly carries from room to room with ease. Great sound, with plenty of power for larger settings as well. EQ and Reverb. The EQ covers all the bases. The reverb is average - I dial-in just a touch.

+1 on the Henriksen Bud 6 for kiler tone and portability. The Blue is cheaper if you don't need 2 channels. The Bud 10 is a lot less portable IMO.
That said, if you're using an acoustic archtop you could try practicing without an amp. |

Small tube amps
For a small combo amp, Fender Blues Jr, Peavey Classic 30 (a bit heavy to lug around), a modded crate v5. Tube amps have a special mojo, a tiny bit of pleasant "even harmonic" warm distortion and compression which is always there even on the clean channel. The disadvantage is that you need to change tubes periodically. Other than that, any cheapo solid state combo box, with at least 10" speaker. As long as you do not overdrive them they all tend to sound pretty good.
People mentioned the monoprice tube amp, it is pretty good. Better than the 5W Bugera. A bit pricey, but a small Hughes and Kettner head, + a separate speaker cab w a 12" speaker is super nice. |

If you're handy with a soldering iron and own a multimeter, I recommend building a 5w tweed 5F1 "'50's Champ" kit from Mojotone. It's not necessary to be able to read a schematic, the kit comes with illustrated step-by-step instructions and a wiring diagram. It's reasonably easy to build one in a few nights, and it sounds truly marvelous with my ES-125.
The Champ was my first attempt at an electronics project and the results are completely satisfying. I shellacked the tweed, added a Fender logo badge, and upgraded from the stock Mojotone/Celestion speaker to a Jupiter.
