DV Mark Jazz 12

HISS / WHITE NOISE

I have this amp for a almost a year now. There is a big problem with these amps that i read occasionaly about in some guitar forums.

There is an unacceptable amout of hiss / white noise. It's really loud and renders recording with this amp impossible.

From what i read, some have hiss, some don't, but I had 3 of them (yes, 3, I had 2 little jazzes before) and they all have the same problem.

I won't even bother saying the good things about it (they exist, actually) because this issue outshadows them for me. The company should address this problem. This product is not worth it right now. It was a few years ago (some friends have 2, 3 year old amps with no hiss), maybe in the future, I hope.

A wonderful practical jazz guitar amplifier

An excellent amplifier for guitar. Very cleverly packed into one box. Design is fantastic. Very easy to carry on the plays. Equipped with an excellent 12 "speaker, very easy to control, the Reverb works fantastic, behind the amplifier, equipped with all the necessary switches, inputs, and outputs, good for turning off the internal speaker and plugging in the headphones, and it can also be very loud extraordinary clean jazz guitar tone.

DV MARK jazz 12.- 45w combo.

I am using this amp at some pub gigs, i play lapsteel through it, and am happy with the very clean sound. The reverb is ok. The controls are very simple to set; its lightweight, so easy to carry, this is important to me. The amp is good for mainly elec/acoustic instruments,guitar, mandocaster, banjo,etc. These type of instruments dont need big amps( not when i play them) so the 45w from this is enough, and the 12" speaker takes it well - no distortion. The cooling fan runs silent.To sum up : easy to carry, clean sound,simple controls, but probably just not loud enough.
