The Jazz Chorus 22 is one of the smallest of the recent launch of the Jazz Chorus series. It is a small solid state amp designed for home or studio, but it is loud enough that you could use it in a small club setting. This is my review and sound demo.

called the jc-22 for two reasons. jc-30 sounds too much like ac-30, so they used the rms power value; 30/√2 rounds up to 22W

Billy Duffy from The Cult has been using the Jazz Chorus for his clean tones for ages. Once you explained the Dimensional Chorus effect I immediately recognised this as the Billy Duffy tone that I've loved for decades. Cheers for a great in depth review. These amps really are the benchmark for solid state cleans.

Very true! I was also amazed to learn that Hetfield and Hammett (Metallica) used to use the JC120 for their clean tone and sometimes dirty tone (pedals through it) on stage and in the recording studio.

This Roland or the Boss Katana though Tim? That sounds pretty good for cleans too from the demos I've heard. I know that this has the stereo feature but I'm not sure about those 6 inch speakers. I am slightly tempted to get 1 or the other because I have my Laney valve amp but it'd be nice to get something different too for when the mood takes me.

My first amp in 1978 was the JC-120. It became a 40 year companion- amazing sound -very heavy amp I would lug it up/down 3rd floor stairway when going to rehearsals, gigs. Due to chronic illness I had to sell it a few years ago - but am looking at getting the JC-22 whenever I get better- Thx for the video! Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

I appreciate you playing examples with the room mic only. I know everyone wants to hear close mic examples because the sound quality is better, but you can’t get an accurate idea of what an amp sounds like in person if it’s close miked. A lot of small amps sound really boxy and terrible in person, but sound big and full if close miked, so I like demos that do both.

Okay, you sold me! Wow, what a sound! I've been trying to get this sound from other amps and haven't been able to come close. I've used the JC setting on the Roland Cubes, that's okay, the Line 6 Pod (the old bean style) on clean, that's okay but not really close. I play Ibanez hollowbodies, semi-hollow, and a Strat. Hope you upload a vid with this amp and a hollowbody, like Ibanez LGB30 or semi like Ibanez AS153 (my two fave guitars at the moment!). Thanks for a great demo!

Put a little compression on the Strat and you´ve got The Police, Bryan Adams, Chris Isaak, Pink Floyd and just about every other major pop and pop- rock hit of the 80s with a clean guitar in it. That little thing is a beast ! Amazing tone. Especially for clean parts in metal,- it would be miles ahead of everything else in that genre when it comes to clean tone. I need one. Now !

I recently bought one and I'm in love. I'm selling my other amps, its that good. It does everything depicted in this demo and it is a fantastic pedal platform. It loves my distortion pedals and sounds fantastic at any volume. I recommend it for home playing in any genre of music; just get the pedals that fit your chosen genres. I mean seriously, country to metal, doesn't matter if you've got the pedals. I'm mad about this amp.

how loud does the JC-22 get? I play in an organ trio that plays jazz music with a drummer and organ player playing a B3 through a Leslie. I need a small amp I can carry around. I need the amp to be pretty loud for gigs in bars and restaurants. you think JC 22s can handle that or no? I know he said it was "massively loud" but I would like a second opinion from some one like you. Thanks for your time.
