there is a lack of twin reverbs on here.
Twins always seem like a good idea until you have one. Too heavy and too loud when they sound their best.
i know that all too well. i used to borrow my friends one for gigs. i carried it on the bus, got turned off the bus, waited for the next bus, got on that one (had to pay a childs fair for the amp) then wheeled it up Buchanan street in glasgow and onto the tube..... then to the venue. still not as fun as the time i borrowed a 2x15 cab on wheels and decided to ride it around the curvy overpass in ek. would i want to use one for every gig? hell no. but i'd still love one.

My two choices will always be SFPR and 6G2 Princeton.

Liked the DRRI I had before I got into Princetons and the Custom Vibrolux Reverb is good too, lots of power. Like a little Vibro King.
But yeah, pretty much always gonna be Princetons for my Jag and JM or any guitar for that matter.

Run my Jaguar into a Marshall Bluesbreaker and it sounds wonderful.

These two, a ‘66 Vibro Champ and a ‘64 Princeton 6G2

Not pictured is a ‘65 Fender Reverb I recently picked up for some of that sweet drippy Reverb!

My band mate runs an AVRI 65 jazzmaster through a vibrolux and ac30. I’ve tied it through 2 badcats and it has sounded great

Honestly, for my money, the ol Vox Pathfinder 15 is a tough one to beat with a nice set of single coils.
I have one of these &, I have to say, it makes everything I plug into it sound great to my ears.

They're such nice amps, in spite of being cheaply made and having tiny speakers. I tend to run mine into a 112. Sometimes I wonder about getting a pair of pathfinder 10s and doing the power mods to them that supposedly get them up to around 30 watts. It's pretty much a transformer swap and a new amp chip. Stereo!
This is an excellent rectangle

You'd wanna stick a speaker out jack in there too. I love my Pathfinder 10 but the 6 inch speaker is so, so bad.

At home, I play through my Vox AC4. Live, I run a Fender Hot Rod Deville 410. My offsets are a 1959 Jazzmaster and a 2014 TVL Jazzmaster.

Yeah, my interest would be in cutting it down a little bit into a head and just running it into an extension cab.

Honorable mentions:

Roland Jazz Chorus - I’m going to own one of these soon. Every chance I get i plug into one and am liking them as a clean machine/pedal platform.
So I did just pick a cheap JC-77 up on a whim. It does what I expected it to do. I think I’m going to have it for a long time, but I’d still take my SFPR or an AC30 over it.

My favourite amp to play my Jag is a 1966 Vibrolux Reverb. JM into it sound great too, but so they do in a lot of other amps, which is not always the case for the Jag.
For the JM, I also use a Magnatone 280 and a Magnatone 213.

The only amp I have that I really don't like for offsets is a Trace Elliott Velocette (single 10" speaker). This is a really bright amp, that works well with darker sounding guitars.
