Amplifiers and Custom Speakers

Links and information on combo amplifiers, heads and speaker cabinets that are being used by my fellow jazz guitarists and ukulele players around the world.

Jazz Tone Tips: - A jazz tone is not too bassy or muddy. It has a bell like quality that is more of a mid range sound. I start with the bass, middle and treble controls flat at 5 or 6 and cut or boost from there. The guitar tone knob is usually close between 7 and 10 and roll it off from there.

My settings for a Clarus IIR amplifier head and custom Raezer's Edge Stealth 12 with a NY One 8 cabinents are to bass, middle and treble set at 12 o'clock with very little spring reverb. The guitar, a Benedetto Benny 7 is set on the neck pickup with the tone at 9 or 10. Depending on the room I have to tweek the settings to roll off the bass for the 7th string. This is the setup that was used for most of the Midnight at the Jazz Cafe CD
