I am considering buying a used Mesa B Dual Rectifier Maverick 1x12 combo.
I do not really understand tubes vs ss as far as watts/loudness goes. I am used to amps in the 60-100 watt range. The Maverick is only 35 watts. But, it is pure class A. I am a jazz guitarist, and I am wondering if 35W pure class A will have enough headroom for a *very* clean, loud output. Or will it be distorted. Thanks much.
it's not exactly what I think of as a "jazz" amp. That's more
like a Polytone Brute, Roland Jazz Chorus or (if you can find one )
a Moog/Gibson Lab Series L5.
If that doesn't work, try a Fender Twin. Or a Super Reverb.
