Larogero « The voice of reason »
Published on 10/23/12 at 07:32Characteristics have already been detailed. It is a transistor amp well known combo with hp 12 "with two inputs (high and low), a bright switch, 3-band EQ one, distortion, reverb and, optionally, a chorus or tremolo. footswitch can be used for many of these features.
This is an amp simple, plug and play, with everything you need. I put 7 because there is nothing special.
UTILIZATION
The use is very simple, and you get a good clear sound directly. Everything seems to be no-more-can-simple, and in fact, it is intuitive. However, it is useful to experiment with the EQ and bright switch when you want to use effects and distos, to find the right combination.
The receiver accepts pedals very well, but some simple combinations are difficult. For example, if I want to use a Custom Fuzz (of Techniguitare), I'll reduce the treble a bit, because the combination (with my telecaster) is too strident (and not saturate the JC50 treble, since it is pure clean). But then when I turn off the fuzz, I will be forced to activate the bright amp at the same time to keep sharp on my signal light. Another solution might be to put an EQ in the chain of effect, but we need more pedals.
Significant advantage of this amp: it still sounds pretty good to basvolume. Even if you have to be very delicate with the button. This button is unfortunately quite linear, and the main setting range is located in the first third of the race knob.
The distortion is not very nice. Moreover, it is not really the distortion, more a kind of light saturation a bit uncomfortable, added to the sound. It's not as useless as some say, but it's pretty uninteresting.
In short, this amp is a simple and easy to accept the pedals and with which one can do everything, but some pedals require a little planning. So, I put 7. This is good, but not crazy.
SOUNDS
The first thing that surprised me with this amp is both its sweetness and punch. There is a terrible dynamic, which makes it very enjoyable to play.
The clean sound is beautiful, and beautifully renders the character of different guitars. It is also a pretty accurate in his grave, and when I play a lot of notes, they are clearly distinguished (Therefore, I have to play better).
We have access to a whole range of sounds clear, the more strident the more subdued, full of sound and warm bass sounds dry and precise (secret, reduce the volume a little guitar, if it has a trebble bleed).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two months and I love it. I bought it without trying it out of curiosity and because it was really cheap (200 €). I thought I would sell, but I'll certainly keep it.
As I play almost without pedals, it does not allow me to do anything, and I will definitely buy something like AC15 for versatility, but will JC50 my first amp for jazz or reggae. This is an amp that has a lot of quality, especially considering its low price and convenience to transistor technology. This amp is a reassuring, certainly the voice of reason.
