Description
If you haven't heard about the JazzAmp yet, you will. Professional players are singing it's praises. Here are some quotes from people we've actually heard of, many of whom are still alive and playing!
WOW!!!
I have a Polytone, and excuse the French, your amp pisses all over the Polytone!"
- Ronny Jordan
I love it. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
- Jimmy Bruno
This is the best amp I've ever played.
- Joe Diorio
This is the perfect amp for me.
- Jim Hall
This amplifier sounds fantastic!
- Howard Alden
It is the amp that jazz guitar players world-wide have been waiting for.
- Trefor Owen
I like that amp, it makes my guitars sound really good.
- Bob Benedetto
I was absolutely blown away.
- Roger Sadowsky
We actually really like this amp too. It's probably the ideal amp for jazz guitarists who dont want to break his back lugging around a Twin Reverb (but if you do, we've got a beaut for you) but does actually value the tone of their instrument enough to want to hear the instrument itself.
This means you dont get a trademark Fender valve sound, neither do you get the trademark AER 'clean' sound - you get your guitar's actual sound.
This amp comes with reverb, but you may discover (as we did) that you want only the smallest amount of reverb, if any at all, because you'll probably start loving the tone of your guitar. By the way, the ES-175 single sounds amazing through a JazzAmp with all the EQs set to zero. A perfect match?

Sid Jacobs wrote this to us about the 10R:
"The new Henriksen Jazz Amp is everything the Polytone wanted to be. It has a cute carrying case with pockets and a reverb for guys who need a little ambience when they're not lucky enough to be playing in a concert hall. It has more power than the original and a great sound. I'm very pleased with mine.
This amp and the Clarus Acoustic Image with a Raezer's Edge cabinet are the two best solid state setups for a jazz guitarist in my opinion, but for the price I don't think you can beat the Henriksen."
