Amp transistors. Power announced by the manufacturer: 120 W RMS.
2 channels: one channel without effect, a channel with chorus, reverb, distortion.
Outputs for external speaker, and in direct enregidtrement, connections to manage the effects with football switch.UN Insert Stereo.

UTILIZATION

To connect the characteristic sound on channel 2 with the chorus on and a little reverb, bass to maximum, and 1/4A 2 / 3 in medium and 1 / 2 in aigu.Là, it becomes magical, the sound is Crystal clear and pure slightly compressed, very spacious with its chorus of more subtle.
We can engage in the minimum distortion, not to the sound distorts, or have a slight crunch, but to give a bit of roundness and warmth. Otherwise it is better to mention the distortion.
This amp, originally designed to amplify the keyboards. It is dedicated to the clean sounds.
The manual is clear, but unnecessary. With a little intuition we get out immediately because the configuration is simple and clear.

SOUNDS

With solid body guitars you get the best son.Andy Summers used in the Police with a Telecaster. Scofield is connected to the Ibanez. With a stratocaster, the sound is fantastic and incredibly accurate.
With electro or jazz 3 / 4 of the sound box is very good, but for these guitars it is better to consider amps most generous in the field of roundness.
The sound is never fras réglage.Cet whatever the amp is definitely jazz, very distinctive in color.
There is also an adjustable tremolo activities both in amplitude. I find it awesome and it reminds me of the turn of the Leslie

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1984. I sold the first model 1991.Je have quickly regretted, especially for its qualities of spacialisation. I bought another 2005 model, fully upgraded in terms of fixing the chassis, the reverb (quality and without parasite), breath more discreet and quality potentiomètres.Il should be noted however that Today is not the amp comes with a protective cover, very useful for transportation. Amp very strong or "indestructible." Mine was used in extreme conditions without giving any sign of weakness. It fell from the height of a chair, was used in clubs on beaches where the sand has crept to interier, was taken in the worst conditions, was shunted by handymen (and yes. . I lent to the insane) who wanted to extract more power, was washed down with beer (I also helped out of Welcome, Guest), in short, he knew all the misery and never complained.
Difficult to find more durable and reliable.
Amp with a good margin of power, even without using the power, the sound is so strange that the guitarist stands out easily.
Designed for clean sounds, it is now quite expensive.
I am separated once, but now that I have redeemed I realize how qualities are real. I recommend it for guitarists who want to think outside the box of lamps and other sounds.
I also have the tube amp worthy of the big brands, but the JC120 is the one I use frequently plud.
