Best amp for a Jaguar?

JohnRobertRumsey

i have a fender deville 212 and I also like the twin reverb... but what amp do you guys perfer???

I prefer the amp I've got, obviously. It'a mid-seventies silver face twin. These amps and Jags/Jazz0rs love each other.

This is what I'd get if I had unlimited space, bigger volvo, played large venues regularly. Fender Super Six... 6x10" nice!

How would one of these compare with a twin, or in general ??? They hardly ever get mentioned on these boards. I tried one some time ago but don't really remember what I thought....

VOX AC30

I love them. And they can get nice and dirty too if you push them.

I use that Model on my Valvetronix practice amp for drive and it sounds pretty faithful.

Vox and Oranges sound similar to me, just from the stuff I've had to use in rehearsal rooms. Not keen on any of that though- I like my amp to be as clean as possible with plenty of headroom.

Mike

it's unsurprising that you're not keen on them then - since that's pretty much what they're designed to do... break up.

timhulio

Correct, but the fact that rehearsal studios use them must mean they're pretty reliable. I'd sooner use an Orange than the solid-state Marshall or Peavy crap some studios use.

I once had to use a Line6 stack thing. *shudder*

It took me twenty minutes of fiddling and I still had a rubbish sound. and thething forgot my settings every time i hit the footswitch. Trash.

The amp I'm using with my Jag is a Vox Cambridge tube hybrid amp. Perfect mate to the Jag for my tastes, very bright on the clean channel, but has a touch of breakup. I've also been using a Peavey Classic 50 that is at the practice space when I don't care to lug my amp with me, it belongs to another guitarist that practices there and does ok as a sub. I think those are supposed to be clones of a Fender amp of some type. I really want a Bassman, one day I'll either build one or find one for cheap.

any good tube amp with reverb will get a great sound.

it aught to sound good through your deville. just put the presence at around 6(the dial not the o'clock) and the reverb at around three-five(the dial again) bright switch on, treble at around three(o'clock this time) mids a bit higher than bass, with the bass around noon. thats what i use for my strat and it sounds alright, if you want it abssier add more bass. i guess you could use that as a starting point, our amps are the same model, and asof my knowladge mines fairly stock.so you can get good "sonds" out of your current amp, and if all else fails try new tubes/speakers. you cant go wrong with celestion vintage 30's and ruby or sovteck or ehx valves in it. just my two cents though.

that amp should sound fine. if you're not digging it, though, just demo some different models at your local shop. be sure to bring your guitar with you as you want to find something that sounds good with it AND most shops don't have a healthy stock of these guitars.

I use one of these:

1964 Fender Princeton, best sounding amp for single coils I have ever played.

I love the sound of my jag through my Fender Vibroverb, so I'd recommend that 😀

I'm either going for a Marshall Mod 4 or JCM 2000, but considering the cost, I might as well go botique and get one of these two for some extra non-marshall sounds.....

Samamp Combo - 45 Watts, Class A, Tube, Variable Clipping

Samamp Head - Max 90 Watts, Class A, Tube, Variable Clipping

Played a stock Mustang through the combo, The Mustang ate an ESP through a metal Zone, and it had a really nice fendery tone on one of the two clean channels, kind of like a mix beteween a Princeton Reverb and a Twin Reverb.
