I recently got a Henriksen Bud Blue Six jazz amp. This is a quick demo of how this amp sounds with different guitars. I recorded the video and the sound with my phone.
How does the Henriksen compare in sound to your tube amps (Princeton, Tweed)? I've seen quite a few complaints that it is more like a full-range hi-fi PA where the frequencies go all the way up and down, unlike traditional guitar amps/speakers. Also, does the 6" speaker sound like a toy compared to your bigger amps?
It has surprisingly big sound. It also can get pretty loud (will be trying with a band w/drums soon). The amp has a small woofer and a tweeter, so it's not just the small speaker. Because it is a solid state amp, is does not break up as a tube amp would when you overdrive it. It has nice digital reverb, but I prefer Fender spring reverb. The amp seems to be well suited for playing jazz - nice clean tone. Although with pedals you could get a lot of other kinds of sounds.
Awesome playing brother
Thanks for listening!
Sounded great. Surprised totally since I am a tube affectionado.

The first two guitars sound very similar. It’s nice to see the old Guild again. They all sound great. What about the Jim Hall?
Jim Hall sounds similar to the Guild. The amp is real nice, also it an get pretty loud, without breaking up...
Not really grumpy!
