Featured Amplifier Builder
Periodically I feature a particular amplifier manufacture that offers an exception amp. This is the line of amps that our Funky Frets store will carry in the spring and my personal choice for my jazz, rock and ukulele gigs. A combination of their MicroPro 200 Full-Range 8" and various extensions cabinets cover that a wide range of music styles.

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

"Every musician has a "golden sound" in their head. It’s nice to get the sound I like on my lap steel, but my heart truly soars when a skilled musician plugs into a Quilter amp and immediately awakens the full range of tone and response that makes the electric guitar the greatest instrument of the last half century." -Patrick Quilter
( from listing's site ) -
The days of lugging around big, heavy amps are over! The MicroPro's light and efficient design and high-power single speaker slashes size and weight but the sound is anything but small. When it's time to crank it up, the MicroPro 200 will stand and deliver with a punchy, full sound that can hold its own against anything else on stage.

Our unique tone comes from of years of collecting and studying the best guitar amps. Advanced class D switchmode power technology behaves like a tube amp, delivers all the warmth and feel of classic amps along with amazing power output and reliability.
