Re: 5 watt tube amps




Hi Danielle
Check out the Mesa Lone Star Special. It has switchable 30 W, 15 W,
and 5 W modes (4, 2 or 1 EL84). This probably is not what you had in
mind, but the amp has a stunning clean sound with a slight mid hump
that sounds gorgeous with an archtop. The amp also breaks up nicely
when pushed a little bit, and you can get the EL84's to sing nicely at
reasonable volumes.

My second choice for jazz is an Evans, at about half the price and
three times the wattage (but solid state).
