Here is a recent listing on Reverb for the same amp - it gives an idea about these cool Jazz amps -
The ad
Whether you would like them or not is a matter of whether you are trying to get the tone of Joe Pass, Jim Hall, Herb Ellis, George Benson, and a bevy of other great jazz guitarists from the 1970s-1990s.
The formula in that era was: take archtop guitar and plug into Polytone Mini-Brute amp; commence playing.
I have two old Polytones (1970s and 1990 model) that are virtually indestructible.

, Polytone is a favorite of jazz greats like Wes Montgomery, George Benson and Kenny Burrell, but also a staple in the rock and roll bass world.
This fairly rare 2 x 10" Mini-Brute V was likely made some time in the late '70s and delivers 90-watts of solid-state power and gives you two channels, each with it's own volume knob, 2-band EQ, Brite and Dark settings, and Hi and Lo inputs, plus Channel One has built-in distortion.
The spring reverb on this amp will impress you too.
The back of the amp is equipped with a Main Out, a an Extension Speaker Out, and jack for connecting a footswitch (not included).
The top, bottom, back, and sides of the amp are covered in a black cloth material, while the front is covered in a similar gray material with steel grilles over the speakers.
Great for jazz, acoustics, and mandolins, this Polytone is ready to help you immerse yourself in your music!
