To describe the Jazz 35 in words requires a little bit of mid-60's Fender amp knowledge. At it's core is a blackface era Fender Vibrolux. The Vibrolux was a 35 watt, 2x10\" combo version of the well known and loved 22 watt Deluxe Reverb. With the Jazz 35, we took the amp circuit from the Vibrolux and Deluxe Reverb (known as the AB763), removed Channel 1 (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e (the channel rarely anyone used)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e and placed it in the portable Princeton Reverb cab with a 1x12\" speaker configuration.  We also removed the Tremolo from the circuit since jazz guitarist have little use for it and it increases the quality of the signal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Thus, the Jazz 35 is essentially a portable, all hand-wired, all USA made, super-modified blackface Fender with several major and significant upgrades \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e(read more below)\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #339966;\"\u003eTell Us About the Upgrades!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e1) \u003c\/span\u003eThe overall size of this amp has been reduced to the size of a Princeton Reverb.  Much more portable and lighter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e2)\u003c\/span\u003e Custom tonestack voicing.

The stock spring reverb tank on a Deluxe Reverb was a small 9\" pan spring reverb. The Jazz 35 uses a large 17\" spring reverb pan that's the same size as the one used in the Twin Reverb! The reverb circuit also includes a very nifty reverb dwell control for varying the decay time giving you more control over the reverb effect. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e3) \u003c\/span\u003eA \"MIDDLE\" tone control has been added that the AB763 based amps didn't have. This addition does nothing to hurt the integrity of the circuit or tone. The original Fender circuit actually had a \"fixed mid\" that was set permanently at 6.8k. Vintage Sound removed this resistor from the circuit and replaced it with a much more versatile 10k pot. You now have the ability to adjust this frequency range without compromising the original tone. If you want it to sound precisely like a blackface Deluxe or Vibrolux, just turn the port to around one o'clock on the dial and you're there. You want to scoop the mids a touch, pull back. Warm the tone a bit, turn up. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e4)\u003c\/span\u003e External Bias Points have been added so as to more easily bias the amp when you swap out tubes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e5)\u003c\/span\u003e Removal of the tremolo circuit. Since tremolo is rarely used in Jazz, this was omitted from the signal path. The tremolo in this circuit usually draws from the signal path even when not in use, so eliminating this actually increases the quality and strength of the guitar's signal through the preamp. Bonus!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e6)\u003c\/span\u003e Addition of an overall Presence control. What? Even more control of your tone? That's right!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e So, as you can see, the Jazz 35 has many upgrades over the original AB763 circuit. As well, all Vintage Sound amps are point-to-point hand-wired using top quality filter caps and electrolytics, carbon comp resistors, Orange Drop tone caps, solid core push back wire, and custom transformers that are hand wound in the USA.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJazz 35 Specifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wattage: 35 watts \u003cbr\u003e Preamp Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e 3 x 12AX7 TAD, 1 X 12AT7 TAD\u003cbr\u003e Power Tubes: 2 x 6L6 TAD\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eRectifier: 1 x 5AR4 TAD\u003cbr\u003e Front Controls: Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Dwell, \u0026amp; Presence. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eEffects: \u003cb\u003eLarge Pan, Tube Driven Spring Reverb\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eSpeaker: WGS G12C\/S - 1 x 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e (read more about this speaker below)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eInputs: 2 Inputs\u003cbr\u003e Auxiliary Input: RCA Footswitch Jack\u003cbr\u003e Extension Speaker Jack: External Speaker Jack\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eCircuit Construction: \u003cb\u003eAll Point-to-Point, Hand-wired\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cabinet Construction: Dove-tail jointed solid pine w\/Baltic Birch Plywood baffle and back panels\u003cbr\u003e Pilot Light: Blue Amp Jewel\u003cbr\u003e Combo Dimensions: 17\" High x 19 7\/8\" Wide x 9 1\/2\" Deep (36 lbs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" style=\"color: #f03d04;\"\u003eWhy are we using the 12\" WGS G12C\/S speaker?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eGood question!
