Henriksen JazzAmp 110 Demo

[alistairjmclean]

Yep, I use overdrive pedals with mine all the time. It sounds great and smooth, but with the tweeter on or Tweetey plugged in it can sound very harsh.

I do funk things with it aswell, you just need to turn the treble controls up a bit to get some spank in the sound.

10" has more mid range push to help with funk.

Does anyone out there know how these amps take pedals? I play funky fusion stuff occasionally, and use overdrive/distortion similar to how the Brecker Brothers did. 10" versus 12"? For the most part, though, it's straight ahead jazz, in the vein of Bruno, so I know it'll sound great for that.

[rexmiguechidoto]

which song are you playing at the beginning?

[jmsbk12345]

@rexmiguechidoto Misty.

[philbio66]

have you played through their 12" combo? if so, what are the tonal differences?

[jazzguitaraustralia]

@philbio66 Yes, I have. It's quite similar (the same amplifier and preamp), but has some differences due to the bigger cabinet size and speaker. Mostly I would say it has a flatter frequency response, which sounds great for solo guitar. For playing in a combo, I prefer the 110 as it has a bit more punch in the mid range.

@jazzguitaraustralia

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

[philbio66]

@jazzguitaraustralia

Thanks. I'm playing my bedroom so I'd probably go with the 12" speaker.

[UmbrellaFitzgerald]

can i use this with an extortion pedal to get the broootalz sound?

[novanine9]

[MegaJavierazo]

@MegaJavierazo Thanks!

I just started joining a new jazz soul motown band.. will this amp do the job? im pretty new at this.. how much power does it have?

[jazzguitaraustralia]

@blekdood I use mine in louder bands all the time. There is plenty of volume with loud drummers etc. They are rated at around 120 watts with the internal speaker. It's all about styles though- if you are playing motown chord chanks etc, it will be plenty to cut through. If you're playing rock- there are better amps for the job!

[darkoanton5]

Is it available in Canada?

[patart17]

i play a very nice eastman up town series guitar

im only a freshman but i play at school and a conservatory jazz band at the college in my city

im playing through a line 6 and its just now loud enough and doesn't capture the tones of the guitar im using

Will this amp be loud enough to play in a big jazz band

[patart17]

@patart17 not* loud enough

[capojazz]

very good sound, i was looking for a new jazz amp. and henriksen jazzamp 110 was my choice. Now after i heared how the sound is i'm shure it's what i look for.

Thank you for your demo, by the way you play v good. I hope will fit with my guitars I play hagstrom hj800 and ibanez ag75 hollowbody and ibanez as50 semihollow..

Nice sound. Will the Henriksen JazzAmp 110 coax a warm sound out of a Strat?

[LiberoMan]

Because of the graphic equalizer, yes! I have this amp, and it produces a really warm and nice sound. Makes solid body guitars sound awesome ;)

[bingefeller]

Can this amp do low volume practice levels?

[jazzguitaraustralia]

Yep it sure can. Henriksen uses a linear power amp, so it sounds the same at all volumes. Much fatter than a tube amp at quiet levels!

[hansegg08]

Super clean sound and great playing! Two questions - 1) what guitar are you using and 2) how did you capture the audio from the amp? Thanks again for the super demo!

[jazzguitaraustralia]

Hi,

Thanks for the comments. I used a Gretsch 6120, which isn't really the Jazziest of guitars! All done on the neck pickup, with slight tone control changes.

The audio was recorded into the comp using a single cheap CAD ribbon mic. It doesn't capture the real shimmer and warmth of the sound, but I think it does a good job of showing off the basic sound and what these great amps can do.

@jazzguitaraustralia

Didn't George van Eps use a Gretsch?

[jazzguitaraustralia]

@WoWintosh Yep, I believe he used a 7 string one for most of his career.
