Any jazzers reading? After buying and/or trying a few jazz guitar amps, I found the holy grail. An Evans RE200. http://www.evansamps.com/products/amplifiers/re200 I dig that fat, round, warm tone like Wes, early Benson, Burrell, Pat Martino. Tubes can totally do it, but I didn't want to lug a heavy amp around. (heavy being anything over 40 pounds). If you have never heard the Evan RE200, it is amazing, and weighs in at 27 pounds. I've only had mine for about a 5 weeks now, and I'm more happy with it as time goes by. It does take a lot of understanding, as the control are not like a typical EQ. But, once you get familiar with it, it is just plain fantastic. (I play a Barney Jazzmaker Deluxe http://www.barneyguitars.com/jazzmakerdeluxe.htm and a Gibson LeGrand.)
