All user reviews for the Yamaha JX50

What musical styles do you use this amp for?
My main go-to's include surf, indy rock of these days(think War on drugs, Tame impale), lots fo 60/70's bands, but also some more crunchy stuff (think Led zep, King-gizzard). It never dissapointed me on any of these..
There is a big wad of reverb on the unit, yet if you want to go really dreamy/washed out you will have to add a pedal. But that is everything i expect from an amp that is not a line-6!
Same thing for distortion, I can play 90% of all the songs i want to play with the pull-knob distortion on there. Yet for that extra 10% i will just use some fuzz pedal i will have lying around, All good!

Given its weight and power, is this amp feasible for practicing, rehearsing with a band, and/or using live?
Simple answer here: it's small enough to use at home.
If needed you can crank it up a lot! but of course for bigger performances someone is going to have to put a microphone in front. Again nothing new here.


Are the clean, crunchy and distorted sounds suitable? Are the parameters efficient and effective?

What are the pros and cons of this amp?
Pro: It's a very good, versatile amp. And it is one of the best transistor amps i have.
Con: The speaker-cone might not be the best one i've ever seen, Yet this could also be related to it's age.. i dunno.

Transistor amplifier, two inputs, footswitch, fifty watts-as its name suggests-with memory volume push / pull, bass, mid, treble, reverb and Celestion memory.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple and sound quality.

SOUNDS

Volume Push / Pull skips a clear saturated each being of good quality.
The sounds are assessed for each ear as each is different, personally I liked them.


OVERALL OPINION

I always do but I use it most, a few crackles when moving the amp but normal since the time bomb of a sudden contact and a review would not be superfluous.
And since I acquired a Fender Vibro field of 69 30 watts, as an entity say, small but what a sound! The need to power it back just in PA. Then a Pod XT Live with moult amp models that we can add new (good product as well).
I did not have to try other models in this power range is no comparison.
Value for money given the number of cubic meters of water flow under the bridge I find it very difficult to remember how much I paid, used, my first amp.
As for the experience and look what it did today, what would be my choice? A vintage amp with its own sound, a modern vintage sound amplifier, a multi-modeling amp ..? Very difficult!
Regarding the notes I never put ten, beside Me there is no perfection ... and then the Ego and the color is not it?
