You're welcome man. Glad it was helpful. :-)

Same here, man! Great stuff!

I've never heard one being played. that is a sweet sounding amp. good choice, probably an awesome platform for external effects too.

Scott Mac that is what I was hoping to use it for!

intheblues oh my gosh. I got a response from Shane. Life goals 75% complete!

Damn, really? Gonna go check that now.

Checked. I like what this trick does on vibrato, but not on chorus.

Woah that's dope. Gotta check that out!

Dude!

What exactly is rotary speaker?

Yes you are correct in this...setting the eq on the Jazz Chorus amps is different from a normal combo.

i did that at a shop...OMG it made me smile uncontrollably. the "i found it" smile

He definitely has it flat sounding. At least thats the way its sounding here on my Bose system

Bright button helped it a bunch, dont like what I hear with it off

Interesting point I never thought about long winters being I am from Texas.

Do you still have it? And how does it sound in a bedroom setting?

Do you prefer this one or is enough with the actual jc22?

My Cuz asked me once what kind of guitar should he get. He didn't have a certain sound preference as he is a beginner. I told him to get whatever guitar that he can't keep his hands off of, so that way it'll be easier to learn playing on a guitar he loves

David Rothberg Agree. I had never heard this with overdrive. It sounded great.

In my experience, having used my Headrush Gigboard on a JC 120, the sound Mosaic is endless.

Clean tones can't be underestimated. There's thousands of pedals and combinations out there. If you have a great clean tone, there's always a pedal you can add-on to change your tone how you want. Bought this amp and have no regrets. Besides...as a guitar player, there's no such thing as having to many amps, guitars, pedals, etc. : )

@@nobodyschannel yeah there's a reason people still buy those vintage style fender blackface amps despite them having no overdrive knob or channel. Because they have the most beautiful cleans. And so they can take any pedal you want. And overdrive/distortion tones for most of rock music history have been created with pedals, NOT with the amp itself. That's what people forget when they pay ludicrous sums for tube amps. Their favourite guitarists got their tones with PEDALS, because most of the time cranking the amp is not practical unless you're a nutter like Eric Clapton or stevie Ray Vaughan. Mind you, yeah, a fender blackface amp cranked, with tubescreamers (or other overdrive pedals) also going into it being used as boost pedals to crank it even more, that is still the most beautiful overdrive ever, it's POWER amp overdrive as opposed to pre amp overdrive. Which you can easily achieve these days by using the FX loop, using an EQ pedal as an attenuator to get cranked power amp tones at lower volumes by putting the EQ with every knob turned to the max (including the volume slider on it) and then plugging your guitar into the front of the amp and controlling volume with the master volume knob. But yeah SRV in the 80s just had a super reverb which he turned to the max and had two tubescreamers going into it that were both on max volume, and he just controlled his gain and volume by the use of the volume knob on his guitar. That sound is still beautiful. But it's just too loud, for home recording or even smaller pub gigs. So I appreciate when fender make new amps that actually have overdrive channels these days. But yeah there's a reason every big metal head uses amps with 6L6 tubes, instead of EL34 tubes. The classic fender amps always had 6L6s in them. Overdriving them is just gorgeous. It's just far too loud. So that's where pedals come in. They take any pedal beautifully. Everyone who listens to bands Ozzy Osborne when he had Randy Rhodes, wants that tone, and a lot of people like that were using the most boringly simple and cheap of pedals, like the boss DS1, every big guitarist uses them. Randy Rhodes mainly used a cheap standard MXR Distortion+ pedal. You can still buy them today. They're orders of magnitude cheaper than buying a big tube amp head

@@duffman18 Preach! If I had a choice of buying a $400 amp with great cleans, and $500 worth of awesome pedals, or a $1k amp with good clean tones, and good OD, I take the $400 amp. People also forget part of their tone besides the amp is what pickups you're using, and also ***how you set your tone***. I don't know the numbers, but I would be willing to bet a good chunk of people who have good amps, don't know jack about actually how to set a good tone. They could have a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, or Marshall JCM800 and make it sound like they're playing in a trash can. Half of it is knowing your equipment, and the other half is understanding how tone works. Great call.

Many thanks! :)

Does “dimed” mean to set at a high level?

@@bluepedalsrock9271 yes.

If you ever wanna sell it I'm around lol

Or me haha

@Luke I did sell it, and I do miss it :(

Welp

Great amp, keep it. Get a Vox Ac15, Marshall Origins 50C, and a Fender Deluxe and you will have a lot of great tones covered

I have a distortion pedal with two gain stages and a 3-band EQ, perfect for this amp. This allows you to roll down the treble on the pedal itself, not the amp. So when you switch from clean to Distortion, you don't lose your high-end on the clean Channel.

Still like it?

Les Lane is it loud enough for a Gig?

Dani Duhamel It's definitely loud enough. This amp is only 4.5 dB weaker than the JC-120 and 3 dB weaker than a Fender Twin.

Thx for the tips! Does yours have any hissing?

Carlos M mine doesn’t hiss...

@@ezdj Thx! I'm torn between this, the Champion 100 and the new Fender GTX100🤔

I like using my Wrath pedal from Foxpedals. It has the same chip as the classic rat and it sounds the best to me for distortion/ high gain territory. Im looking for a low to medoum gain pedal now.

2speedy4u22 came here to say that as well. Hard to really appreciate it without the stereo recording. Great demo otherwise. There is an old JC120 for sale locally that I’m super tempted to get.

Panhandle Gear Demos - The distortion on the JC120 is weak compared to the JC40. If you're using pedals for your distortion the JC120 should be ok.

Erik Oosterwal good to know, thanks!

the chorus was barely audible because of this very fact. it seems one speaker lets only dry, other lets only vibrato (for the manual mode, im guessing)

Keybo Dare hey thanks a lot Keybo!

Nope - unfortunately he took it with him :'(

Chorus on hemispheres is from this amp actually, but live he used the ce1
