What type of amplifier




Tagged As: Fender Twin Amplifier

Question:
I'm just beginning to get into Jazz, and I am curious what type of amplifier people are using? I am looking for something that is suitable for practice at home and that could be played in small club settings.

Answer:
The best thing to do is audition as many amps as possible before you buy. There are a lot of good suggestions hear. It seems to me that a lot of jazz players are either using Polytone Acoustic Image Clarus Evans Custom amps (what I use) Rich Raezer Cabinets general we are looking for lots of head room (loud with no distortion) and a rich warm sound. There are any number of boutique amps out there and you could spend a small fortune on one. Polytones are not that expensive, neither are a used Fender or Peavey. Most of us Jazzers are not into lugging a lot of heavey equipment around so we tend to go for light and portable. A Fender Twin Weighs a ton.
