I use either an older model Henriksen or a Polytone.
With both, I use a Tech 21 blonde modelling pedal if I want to get a more "tube amp" sound. |

Jazz Chorus is tremendous but just too heavy....Henriksen and Quilter will float your boat. My own sitution for an ES-175D is a ToneMaster Deluxe Reverb at 22lbs it's highly transportable. If i were to travel by public transport I would fall back on my tc electronics BAM200 head fixed on top of a Toob Metro 6.5BG speaker - it all fits in a small sports bag and weighs nothing for 200w solid state output. Lots of comments over at jazzguitar.be. I run a Fender tre-verb in front but hall of fame or any other decent reverb pedal will do...... Always useful to have an eq pedal to help you fine-tune your sound for each venue - I have an mxr 6-band

Jazz amps Rivera.
I've watched a lot of videos and my favorites are the Rivera Jazz Recording 50 single channel and the two channel, older, Rivera Jazz Suprema that has the clean channel the Jazz Recording was modeled after. The second channel is not for jazz, having more gain. Anybody with Rivera experience and opinions?

SO many choices ...I second what many have said here.
My favorite is my 1966 Ampeg Gemini VI but no way it leaves the house because it`s so heavy and bulky. I`ve been through Quilter 101, Acoustic Image Chorus, Demeter Mighty Mini and to me the Henriksen is the clear winner over the other lightweight solutions. That said ...I`ve been on a search for some serious iron with octals to get a deep punchy grunt over a drummer . I have a Sano 2 x 7591 head.... in search for a lighter Ampeg sound. I have a feeling that those power tubes are a big part of the Ampeg sound that I love. AND ...I commissioned an FYD Town & Country ...2 x KT88 with octal pre. Played one and loved it and ordered one. It still hasn`t got me sold. My next experiment is the Milkman "the Amp" as a hopeful light package that still carries a tube fingerprint. Anyne in the archtop world settled on the Milkman? I WILL be getting one. BTW ...my archtop is a 15" Koll sand F holes with Guild mini`s so the goal is a hybrid between a 335 and an L5 ...hopefully more L 5 Here`s an example of me and some friends through a Henriksen ...keep in mind the video cam has its own compression. https://youtu.be/vV5IoYiGFwU?t=13 |

My 1963 Ampeg Gemini II sounds awesome with my 29 stewart archtop and a cling on pick up on the end of trapeze tailpiece, can produce a very clean jazzy sound.

DV Mark Guitar Friend 1x12
Hands down, the DV Mark Guitar Friend 12 small, powerful, very light, and with huge jazz tone, this ended my search for a quality jazz combo amp without having to spend a ton of money.
Cheers, Arnie.. Click here to see in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Bfvt2uYyc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bnV3XTP-sk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9PJZLAOnEM |

DV Mark 12 Jazz - I use with my Ibanez AS200
Another vote for the DV Line - made in Italy. This one the DC Mark 1 Jazz - purpose made for the job. 50W RMS@8ohm, beautiful clean tones for pretty much anything, takes pedals really well. It works very nicely for a stand alone acoustic amp too. Weighs only an unbelievable 19 lbs. Also available as a 212. http://www.dvmark.it/product-detail/dv-jazz-12/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skEAFRF9vK8

Only one vote for the AER Cube 60 so far. Here is a second. For me just the right mix of tone, portability, and a good second channel. Very versatile little amp and easy to gig with. The carrying bag has enough pockets to carry a ton of stuff.
Downside? Mine is about 15 years old at least, it only has 24v of phantom power on channel 2. I think the newer ones have 48. |
