Thank you so much. Your Jazz Chorus videos have been incredibly valuable in helping me determine that this is an amp I'd love to have... I think I may choose the 22 over the 40 and 120. For its price, this amp seems unbeatable. World class sound.

Living in an apartment complex = Roland JC-22 + your fav OD/Distortion/expression/wah pedals + Line 6 hx Stomp (modeling amps or cabs through the JC effects loops or as a multi effect pedal) = Perfection.

Hey buddy! Just came to thank you for suggesting me to buy de jc 22. It sounds amazing. I just cant beleave why I didnt have it before. Loving my chorus and reverb ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was fantastic! Thank you so much. I use a telecaster, a jaguar, and a gretsch hollow body with a lot of pedals and was specifically considering the Yamaha THR when the algorithm suggested your video. You've convinced me to give the JC-22 a try instead. It's like this video was made specifically to prevent me from making a mistake with my next amp. Incredible

Truly phenomenal amp. Found a deal the other day and bought one used in mint condition for about 250 euros, a great bargain. Still trying to find the best pedal combinations to get the tones that I wish, but generally responds to pedals better than I expected. Plus, I didn't really expect such a decent bass response from 6.5 inch speakers.

Tried this with my acoustic Zounds amazing❤Bought one today

I have one of these it’s a great amp. Very easy to use. Great reverb and chorus. It’s a great pedal platform. Add a pedal for fuzz and distortion. I really like it clean without any effects.

I can see you are a fan of fine Japanese gear--Roland, Boss, Yamaha... is that a MIJ Strat? Great video, JC22 seems like a great amp for home.

Nice to see a cute Family Photo of JC's. The baby was adorable.

Thank you for great review and beautiful playing!

You are the Pied Piper of the Roland Jazz Chorus. Thank you.

I live in an apartment and need to play at very low volumes. I'm debating between a JC-22 and the new GTX50 from Fender. Which would you recommend? I play primarily post-rock.

Hello - Did you need to use any kind of cab simulator after the line out or process it to get a good sound?

Great Stuff❤

Anyone looking for a JC22-type amp but on a tight budget? Try looking at the Fender Princeton Chorus! Very similar conceptually (solid state, stereo chorus/spring reverb, OD, effects loop). Super lush and full chorus, ice pick cleans, really great pedal platform amps!Admittedly, the built-in OD isn’t all that great, but that can easily be solved with a pedal. They can also be found for PEANUTS on the used market, I was able to get mine in a trade for a Squier Jazz with aftermarket pups

Great review, I have had mine since late last year, I absolutely love it and will never part with it if I don’t have to! I’ve subscribed, nice job and great playing 👍🏻

Hi. Thanks you for the awesome demo of JC-22. Undeniably it has a very good clean sound. Do you mind to demo it with overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedals? Would like to see how the jc-22 clean amp respond to dirty pedals. Thanks again sir.

I have a JC 40 and a Line 6 Helix. What do you think is the best way of hooking up the Helix, front stereo fx loop or the rear stereo fx loop bypassing the preamp? If using the Helix in the rear fx loop is it better to use Helix amp or preamp and should I use cab in Helix or no cab simulation in Helix and just use JC cabinet?

Can you tell me what pedals you have on at 14:36 mark? When you kick in the loop station/drum pedal…. Looks like the Metal Zone 2 WaZa is the only disrotion. Sounds so good. Would love to know what effects are on. Thank you and thanks for all of your JC videos.

In the comments you said that the 40 handles pedals better. What makes the 22 less pedal friendly? I’d like to use a big muff ram, delay, blues driver and a few other pedals for post punk/shoegaze type stuff. I’ve been considering the 22 for a few weeks now but I’m told that it’s not as “good” as the 40, as the 40 is basically a small 120, but the 22 isn’t a small 40. Also, is the 40 really louder than the 22 at low volume settings? I’ve been reading that the 40 is LOUD even at 2. Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for your video. I'm thinking about getting this amp. I mostly play Andy Summers stuff, but I also like some saturated blues tones and I heard this jc don't like dirt tones... Would you recommend this model for my purposes?

hey man, great video. How did u connect the line out into a daw?

This amp and also the JC 40 are very underrated in my opinion. I even like the Distortion on my JC 40 :) Great review!

Cool video!!! Was going to buy jv 22 but the store closed!!!

Really great review. Thanks!

Thanks. Do you think that this amp is enough to play with areal drum in a small bar? O you will need JC-40 at least? I was thinking to buy a fender blues junior, but this amp have a great sound. Could you help me with my choice? Which one do you think is best?

Way to go, great effort and very helpful review

Do you not find the background hiss of this amp a bit distracting? I bought one last week, and love most things about it, but it has a constant hiss that I find hard to ignore (I tried a noise reducer in the FX loop, because I thought the hiss might be from the pre amp, but no luck). I know that this is well-documented in the whole JC range, but I didn't think it would be so noticeable. I'd be interested to hear if you had any thoughts on it.

Can i make it sound not too loud in a aparment room? I considering getting one. Kind regards.

Is it good for blues playing?thanks

If you could only have one which would you choose? 22 or 40?

Quick question-I’m considering buying 2 JC22s & using them together in stereo-does this sound crazy..? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Troy

wow great!! When recording through the amp's stereo line output, can you mute the main amp speakers? Because when I record at home, I want to monitor only my speakers! I think it would be crazy if both the DAW sound and the amp speaker sound came out at the same time. what did you do

Would love to obtain one. I have a Randall Diavlo 5C, and it’s fantastic for home recording, but very much a high gain beast. This is the other half of the equation.

MARSHALL of the Best !

This was a super helpful review! I live in an apartment and I’m hoping to record guitar (with a chain of about eight pedals) from an amp directly into an audio interface. The goal is to wear my headphones and use a line out from the amp so I can record as quietly as possible. Would this be a good option for that?

ciao se non ho capito mal sei italiano vero? ti chiedo come si comporterebbero gli speaker integrati per un suono metal? adoro i puliti jc ma almeno il mio ex jc20 era orribile sia col suo distorto che coi pedali

Thank you Enrico !

I currently have the Yamaha THR10. In the video you talked about owning them before, and that you felt that you could hear the nuances of different guitars better (solid vs semi-hollow vs hollow) and that it wasn't possible with the THR10. I typically use the THR10 on the clean channel and I do feel like I can hear differences between strat / tele / 335-style, but would love to hear more about how you hear the THR10 vs the JC22. You also said 'As a normal amp, this will work fine with looper pedals and that this is a feature that the Yamaha THR doesn't permit'. I think you're talking about the fact that the THR doesn't have a stereo input, right? So if you use stereo effects into a Yamaha THR, which has a mono input, it'll just sound like the notes are delayed? Your video has gotten me interested in a JC22. I was also considering a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb because I do like the sound of a Fender amp for the mid-scoop and John Mayer tones. It also has attenuation so you can play it at reasonable levels at home. My impression from reading other reviews is that the Fender clean sound is a little warmer than the JC22. Did you consider the new Fender amps, or did you discount them because they are digital modeling? Fender says they're using a quad-core processor. I do like the fact that the JC22 is just an analog solid-state amp, but I have heard that the sound can be more ice-picky than a Fender style amp. Thanks for this nice demo! Great playing, love all the Boss pedals and effects!

Time to get some wii bowling going. That's what that riff made me think of.

I just heard in a demo that the chorus can not be turn off completly on the jc22. What is your experience? Thanks again!

Great demo, many thanks. Sub'd

Thanks. Seems like the JC22 is for me. Mostly home but hope to do occasional small gig. I have a Godin Flat5 with piezo pickup. It has 2 outputs also If I can get a good 'acoustic' tone then I will definitely buy. I will have to demo but what you think?

Good afternoon. Does it run on 110 or 220 volt AC or is it universal? Thank you.

What pedal are you using for the distortion? Sounds great. Also looking into the jc22 and trying to figure whats a good distortion or overdrive pedal to pair with it. Thank you.

Love the sound of this amp. Really excellent demo and awesome playing. Any thought on how this might pair with a Godin 5th ave kingpin ii (hollow body with two P90s)? I only ask because I’ve had a hard time actually finding one at a shop near me to plug into. Thanks!

This JC22 may be the amp for me. I was deciding between this and the JC40. I only play at home and will not play live at gigs. Will the JC40 be too much? I believe it’s best to be able to turn the volume up somewhat to open up the sound and I’m worried the JC40 won’t let me turn it past 1-2 inside the house. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Sooo, you’re generally a fan of Japanese manufacturing, I take it.?. 😉 lol A couple of those Yamahas remind me how underrated they are, and if Boss/Roland doesn’t employ you already, they SHOULD! Thanks for posting! 😄

Have you ever gig with it, i mean the 22...is it good enough for gigging, with miking...thanks

New subscriber and late to this video, but great review. Also.. I have the jc40.. I’m eyeing this 22 for my bedroom. What is the name of that jazz chorus tiny amp you show in the lineup shots???? I must own one. 🍻

I am torn between this and the larger JC40. I have a single family home, so I can be a bit louder. Since this is a clean amp, wouldn’t the JC40 give me the same tones, but it would simply give me more headroom with which to go into the world outside of my house? Also, how loud is this little guy?

Hi and thanks, too bad you can't put the effects in parallel after the cabinet. Greetings from Italy

Great demo! Could I get that chorus sound with a Boss CE-2W and my existing Princeton Reverb amp?

i'm not sure but i think you like boss

Sounds decent for no microphones and using the line out but when the distortion hits it is not pleasant

With this amp and the Boss DS, do you think you would be able to get something of the Steve Rothery clean solo sound? (accepting that much of his sound comes from his technique, and that is something, unlike the JC, I will never have...)

Minutos 3:00 que modelo es el Roland más chiquito Gracias

damn sounds super good. u can plug all sorts on instruments in this other than guitars and it would sound good.

Great video! I'm wondering what your starting point is with the tone controls, when you're playing clean? I don't really have my JC22 dialed in yet, and find it can sound kind of icy ... I'm wondering about your basic settings.

How many Boss pedals do you need for the demo? TheSpaceGuitar: Yes

Great videos! I got a secondhand JC-40 from the music store for pretty much the same price as a new 22. However at night at home I’m having trouble keeping it at a very low volume. A slight touch on the volume knob makes it go loud. Does the 22 do better in this regard? I might exchange for a 22.

I just ordered the 22 I feel regret in my stomach I should’ve gotten the 40

Great video! I really enjoyed the setting at 8:02, and I really enjoyed the tips in the pedals section. When you started your section on pedals, what volume setting was the jc22 at? Were the pedals going through the effects loop? Series or parallel? Were those drums being run through the jc-22? We need to hear more of that RE-20 in the future!

Sei un grande. Che tocco dio santo. Altro che roland😂

I had in the past a roland jazz 120 from the first series, and the chorus of this one has nothing but nothing to do with it. that sounded fantastic. I sold it because it was too much for home now. this is not jazz chorus. yes it is but it doesn't sound like one

Sponsored by Boss perhaps????

The shaggs have a son and he's got some money

MARSHALL. ??

I'm Single 😍😥
