I had the older 15W Cube (which I loved) and then the newer Cube like yours- It had a noticeable hiss that I couldn’t dial out, not what I wanted for low volume practice, so I sold it on. The Henriksen Bud 6 has none of the hiss, and it handles everything I plug into it. Teles especially.

Excellent video - very refreshing to hear clean sounds only. As a jazz player myself, I'm pretty fed up with all the other amp and guitar reviews having almost exclusively distorted/overdriven sounds. I wonder what you feel about the Supro Delta King 12? It's a lightweight tube amp with great clean sounds. Thanks again for a great review, I love your guitar tone and your playing.

I enjoy your playing. On KZfaq, all the amps sounded very similar and usable, clean and balanced, but a little stiff, like solid state amps tend to be.

I have two cube amps they are good, the Katana 50 is a little better has more sensitivity and when you dig in it acts more like a valve. It really does have a lot to do with how you set the amp up and your technique. Reasonable gear and the rest is your ears and your hands.

I think they all sound good for Jazz. Especially with your exquisite playing. I had however huge problems to get a decent Jazz tone out of my Polytone Mini Brute I. The treble is ear piercing. I have to roll it back to almost 0 and the bass up to 8. If I add middle it sounds even worse. I use the dark channel. To get a decent tone I also roll back the treble on the guitar to around 8. My Cube 60 however sound brilliant; and warmer than the Polytone. . But here also I have to get the treble down quite far.

Jamie, I'm a beginner. Well, I can play a little bit, but not anything close to jazz. I can't tell a huge difference between the amps, I'm sure due to my inexperience. I'm upgrading from a nylon string. Would you recommend getting an expensive (for me) guitar and a smaller amp, or a cheaper guitar and nicer amp? If I go for an expensive guitar, I'm thinking of getting a road worn telecaster, I love the look and feel. But if I get a cheaper guitar, I'll probably get a Squier telecaster. Thank you for any advice you might have.

Sort of related question, which makes the most difference to getting a jazz sound... the guitar, or the amp?
@jamieholroydguitar
@jamieholroydguitar 2 ай бұрын
Good question and a bit of chicken and egg argument. For playing general guitar styles you’re always better getting a quality amp. However for jazz the cheap amps also sound great at home so I’d get a nice guitar. The early road worns are the best but most of the classic reissue mex/Jap Teles are nice, especially if you upgrade the pots and pickups.

I like the micro cube better plus it has more quality sounds they quit making the first 2 generations so you can find them cheap . Great for practice and recording. Little small for stage but you could mike it and have zero noise running batteries. I have a deal against peavey they burned me on a guitar in 90s and then the owner made a deal with everyone right well when they came into work on Monday morning there’s a letter on the door telling sorry even though I just told everybody on TV that you were getting a raise and I was actually going to take care of my employees im firing everyone and selling my name to a china company this is after he got into a fight with Eddie van halen see Eddie figured out his deal and walked away from peavey and he claimed Eddie was hard to deal with but we all no peavey was a crook so that amp would have to sound like angels singing for me to touch it also parts for them are bad and break I’ve known people who fixed them only to last a week or so before they were on fire smoking again

Genuine naive question-why is good jazz guitar tone considered to be so dark? I’m not into a clean bridge brittle tone- I get it that is really bright and grating-but why isn’t a nice warm neck single coil with some healthy midrange considered to be a good tone? Is it because that’s what jazz guitarists sounded like in the 40s-60s and that is ‘standardized’?

Good question - probably a topic for an entire video really. I consider players like Holdsworth to have amazing jazz tones and I don't think he ever used the neck pickup! Wes also occasionally used other pickup selections. There was many years of jazz guitarists who only would have access to guitars with neck humbuckers historically which might have something to do with it too. Although most jazz guitarists to my ears do have midrange warm tones - there's only a few which I would consider to have very dark sounds like Pat Martino, Jim Hall, and Chuck Wayne.
