The SuperChamp is really not a "jazz" amp. More like a good Blues or certain types of Rock situation, where a bit of overdriven distortion is the goal when pinned.

A Jazz amp, on the other hand, is going to be designed with a more High Fidelity goal, Negative Feedback power amp circuitry, often UltraLinear Output Transformer design, and typically much less Gain derived in its preamp circuits. Meant to amplify the typical "jazz box" guitar, carved top and F holes, hollowbody.

I don't think there can be a direct comparison between the two, considering the vastly different job that each is designed to do.
