Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus 2 x 12-inch 120-watt Stereo Combo Amp

Roland’s JC-120 stereo combo amplifier is the flagship of their Jazz Chorus line, and it’s been setting the standard for clean guitar tones since 1975. This 120-watt, 2 x 12-inch monster boasts two separate power amps to deliver its signature true-stereo Dimension Space Chorus, one of the most revered guitar effects of all time. Two channels feature independent bright switches and 3-band EQs, with reverb, distortion, vibrato, and chorus available on the second channel for a wealth of different sounds to add to your tonal toolbox. What’s more, this amp is built tough, featuring a distinct riveted construction and rock-solid reliability that have made it a backline mainstay for decades. Pick up a JC-120 from Musiekwereld and find out for yourself why the JC-120 is among the most beloved solid-state amplifiers of all time!

World-class clean tones

When the Roland JC-120 was first released in 1975, it was perhaps the first real solid-state contender in a primarily tube amplifier driven market. The reason for this? The JC-120’s legendary clean tone. Instead of attempting to replicate the tube breakup that we all love, the JC-120 is built to excel with clean tones of any style — and that’s exactly what it’s been doing since 1975. Andy Summers, Albert King, Adrian Belew, Metallica, and Johnny Marr all used the JC-120’s beautiful clean tone to reshape musical history. If you’re after big, immaculate cleans with plenty of low-end power, it simply doesn’t get any better than the JC-120.

Double the power

The 120 in JC-120 comes from the amp’s dual power amp design — two separate power amps deliver 60 watts to each 12-inch speaker. This design is the key to the JC-120’s legendary chorus sound as one speaker produces a normal tone and the other speaker produces a modulated tone, resulting in Roland’s massive Dimensional Space Chorus sound.

Classic chorus

For chorus fanatics, the JC-120’s Dimensional Space Chorus is second to none. It’s arguably the most renowned chorus sound in history, and it directly inspired the first-ever Boss pedal (and chorus pedal), the CE-1. Spacey, wide, lush, shimmering — it’s the classic chorus sound of the ’80s and beyond!

Loaded with effects

Apart from the chorus, the JC-120’s second channel boasts several other built-in effects that make it an impressive all-in-one setup for your stage or studio rig. A distortion control offers a wild contrast to the JC-120’s beautiful cleans, producing a uniquely solid-state-style dirt sound with plenty of bite and clarity. The vibrato might not be as famous as the JC-120’s chorus, but it’s perfect for injecting a bit of movement and ambience into your signal. Finally, the JC-120 sports a lively spring reverb to give your tone some depth.
