Fender Jazzking Amp // What I use
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 10:10 am
Has anyone tried the fender jazzking amp? I hear that its squeeky clean and marvelously powerful.
Currently, I use 2 amps for my Ric (sometimes at the same time w/RICOSOUND): One is a Johnson JT50 (in the johnson 'clean' setting). I really like the sound that comes out of it w/one annoying exception. The 'noise suppression' does work, but when I strike a note, the white noise is there during the note's sustain time. So, unless there is a lot of other noise (other musicians playing, for example) on the platform with me, there is this un-squeaky clean sound coming from the amp. Kind of takes the fun out of playing dynamically soft, as I occasionally do.
I also have a vox ad120. All fun and games for serious playing with this one. My favorite amp setting w/the Ric is the AC30tb. I realize its not the same as having the REAL ac30tb (or any other amp that it models) but 4 my purposes its marvelous. However, there doesn't seem to be just a "solid state" only setting, which is why I ask about the jazz king.
