The Basic Settings Of Jazz Tube Amps

By Gwen Lowe


If one is into playing soft music like something that is somewhat like blues or jazz, then he would need an amplifier that can actually produce a very clean sound that this kind of music would require. Of course he would be needing some jazz tube amps if he would want to play this type of music. If one is a musician, then he would probably be interested in this.

Now as stated above, this type of genre has a very soft sound that only certain amplifier tubes can let out. So now in order to be able to play these kinds of things, then the very first thing that he should do would be to do his homework on what kinds of amplifiers are good. After getting these pieces of equipment, then he just has to adjust the settings later on.

The main thing that would produce the sound that would be coming from the guitar would actually be the settings on the amp. One has to make sure that he sets up the settings right so that he can get a very clean tone that jazz players use. Now the first thing that he has to think about would be the distortion.

Unlike rock and roll or metal wherein both use a lot of distorted sounds, jazz or blues do not make use of such sounds. So the key to handling this is to make sure that there is only a little bit of distortion that is present. What one would want is to make sure that he has the smooth tone.

Now over the years, there have actually been some bands in this genre that would actually put some distortion. Now the difference is that their type of distortion is very subtle and is only very minimal. So if one would want to add just a little bit of flavor to his songs, then he may add just a bit of distortion.

Now distortion is one thing but there are actually the other settings that one must actually take note of too. In this type of music, one has to make sure to adjust the bass and the treble levels. He has to make sure that the bass is more and the treble is less.

In order to get that setting, one has to set the bass level at a certain number and so as the treble. Now the bass level should be at least at seven or maybe even higher. The treble, on the other hand should be at least a five or maybe even at a lower level but never below three.

So by following these settings, then one will be able to get that jazzy sound that he would want. Now these settings are only standard settings that a lot of jazz players would follow. However, one can tweak the settings a bit and adjust the sound so that one will be able to get his own flavor when he plays the guitar.
