Winter NAMM 2012 News
Overall, legendary for cleans and very nice chorus. Of course the chorus is adjustable on the amp but not for live purposes. But this amp is well known for a reason, that is providing great clean tones! Yes it is warm, but it is bright as well and has an almost acoustic-like character which some players may define as sterile and tinny. Though I ...
I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs the best clean tones in the world. I am partial to solid state cleans as I feel that they have a sparkle that tubes cannot match. Distortion is a whole different ball game but the cleans will get you the best chimey sparkle you have ever heard. You can only find these amps on the used...
If you really want to gig with this amp then it is a good purchase, but if you just want to use it for recording a particularly the clean then save several hundred dollars and get a Cube amp from Roland that has the JC Clean. But this amp is so classic anyway that it is a must own! I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs t...
You cannot find these new anywhere at this point. Like I said before I think Roland stopped selling them a few years ago. I have seen them on the used market in the classifieds for around $300. not that bad of a price for this amp. Although I think the new Cube amps are much better in features and in tone. This amp is not the same as the new Cub...

Overall I think this is a good amp for someone who plays lots of different styles/genres, I found it to be a decent recording amp and it's probably loud enough to use for a gig. Although I find the distortion to be pretty poor and the effects are a little limited.
I like the practicality and certain effects on this amp the best. I don't like the super-polished wussy-sounding clean tone, but I'll admit that sometimes such a sound is necessary and even superior to that of a tube amp. Overall, while I have a few beefs with this thing, I'll admit it's pretty great. It's certainly the best solid-state amp I've...
I really like the warmth and tone of this amp, as well as the reverb. It has a unique sound that is very particular. As such, I wouldn't recommend using it if you aren't a serious jazz musician, or somebody who plays music that is similar in style. Rock players, even most blues players, would be better off with something else. However, for those...
