Awesome little amp

Jet City Amplification JCA2112RCPublished on 10/27/11 at 15:25
This is a 20watt all tube amp. It is a single channel amp with, gain, volume, reverb, bass, mids, and treble controls. The reverb is tube driven and very lush sounding. It’s a cool feature that’s very useful.

The cabinet is actually plywood, not MDF, which is rare on cheap import amps. Overall the amp is surprisingly well built. I would have no worries when gigging Jet City amps.


UTILIZATION

This is a great sounding amp, no issues getting great quality tones. Having only one channel can be limiting but this amp is very dynamic. When you are running it full bore you can still clean it up really nicely but rolling off the volume and softening the dynamic of your pick attack.

SOUNDS

The tone is amazing. The clean tones are decent. Honestly if you're looking for pristine cleans this probably isn't the amp for you. The clean tones are very limited because the amp has little to no headroom. Like I said earlier, this amp does clean up nicely with rolling off the volume, but it never gets anywhere near pristine cleans. They still have a touch of dirt on them, which personally I like. But like I said, if you’re looking for an amp to do cleans you should look elsewhere.

The crunch tones are phenomenal. They sit so nicely in a band mix. They have a Marshally flair but definitely have their own thing going on. They are clean up pretty nice by just rolling off the volume knob. And if you through a boost in front of it it’s amazing. It gets a really nice high gain sound. If you can't tell, I love this amp.

My biggest complaint about the amp is that modulation pedals don't sound great in front of the amp. But otherwise is awesome.


OVERALL OPINION

This is hands down the best little combo amp I've ever played through. The crunch is amazing and the cleans are usable. Its an insane value at the price. I highly recommend it.

The knob "Volume": the volume output of the amp.

USE

It can not be simpler! This is a single channel amp with an equalizer that covers a great sound spectrum, which was adding reverb and a knob "Gain" is going a great clean through the soft crunch the muscle enough overdrive and ending with a rather fat distortion worthy of his stoner metal of groups.

The knob "Presence" is simple: simply turning is stopped when the sound is too loud!

Hard to have a bad sound, frankly, what comes out is almost always good especially the beautiful clean. If you want a shoot and accuracy of all distortion, the best solution is to get a pedal, but personally it suits me perfectly.

The manual (in English) supplied sticker (Cool) and brings the usual things: the gnrales security options, etc ... but in a friendly and fun way. It provides practical information to get a good clean sound or highly saturated.

indicative rating: 10/10

SONORITS

This amp is ideal for Soldano my style of music: rock blues to southern rock and metal music.


Matriels utiliss:

Ibanez Ex-series 1700 + Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff
Clean: neck position
Satur: bridge position


The sonorits:

Large spectrum of sounds, the equalizer is complete.

First of all clean. One word: ex-ce-llent. This is what makes all the difference when I test a dozen amp lamps a equivalent price. The clean is simply superb, it may be crystalline as fat by varying the knobs. The knob "Presence" is very convenient to do this quickly.

Now lets distortion of the amp. Not bad at all, the knobs "Gain" allows you to play all the sounds saturs: crunch / overdrive / distortion. The crunch and overdrive are very good to me, even if I'm not a connoisseur. The distortion is well, though for an amateur metal like me, you would gain even more!

With the pedal: a distortion standard with a great sound of a panel.

With this amp for distortion really metal type, it will take much digging the sound by turning down the middle to 2-3.

indicative rating: 9/10

NOTICE GLOBAL

This will do two weeks I use this amp and I combl. be the pass transistor lamps t a veritable revolution, I'm really not the.

I tried a dozen amps lamps in the budget of a 400/550 or quivalente Suprieure power in the same Journe and here's the verdict: they are few prs Gaux in saturs sounds, but the Jet city JCA2112RC crasait all thanks to its incredible clean.

The particular feature I like most: clean!

The particular feature I like least: uh ...

Another big plus: its unbeatable qualitprix! The quality is excellent and such a price for all lamps, we not see the masses. Soldano thank you!

I would do this choice without hsiter;-)! I advise you to everyone who want to spend any quality lamps!

indicative rating: 9/10

I would end up on a sentence of the manual:

"The JCA2112RC is a single channel amplifier Does one thing reallly well ... it sounds good!"

UTILIZATION

Could not be more simple! It is a single channel amp with an equalizer that covers a wide spectrum of sound with added reverb and a knob "Gain" which is a beautiful clean through the soft crunch to overdrive quite muscular and finishing with a pretty gross distortion worthy of the group stoner metal.

The knob "Presence" is simple: just stop to turn when the sound becomes too loud!

Difficult to have a bad sound, frankly, what comes out is almost always good especially the beautiful clean. If you want a distortion further and more accurate, the best solution is to get a pedal, but personally it suits me perfectly.

The manual (in English) provided a sticker (too cool) and report the usual things: safety, general options, etc ... but in a nice and fun. It provides practical information to get a good clean sound or highly saturated.


Guidance Note: 10/10

SOUNDS

This amp made by Soldano is perfect for my style of music: blues rock through the Southern rock and metal.


Materials used:

Ibanez Ex-series 1700 + Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff
Clean: neck position
Saturated: the bridge position


Sounds:

Wide spectrum of sounds, the equalizer is complete.

First of all clean. One word: ex-llent it. This has made all the difference when I tested a dozen tube amp at a price equivalent. The clean is simply superb, it can be just as bold lens by varying the knobs. The knob "Presence" is very convenient to do this quickly.

Now lets the distortion of the amp. Not bad at all, the knobs "Gain" can play all sounds Saturated crunch / overdrive / distortion. The crunch and the overdrive is very good to me, although I am not a connoisseur. The distortion is good, albeit for a metal fan like me, you would gain even more!

With the pedal: the huge distortion with a large range of sound.

With this amp, for the typical distortion really metal, it will take much digging the sound by turning down the middle to 2-3.


indicative rating: 9 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

This will make two weeks I use this amp and I am satisfied. Passing the lights of the transistor was a revolution, I'm really not disappointed.

I tried a dozen tube amps in the budget € 400 / 550 of a power equal or greater in one day and here is the verdict: they are about equal in the distorted sounds, but the Jet City JCA2112RC the crushed all thanks to its clean sound incredible.

The characteristic I like most: the clean!

The characteristic I like least: uh ...

Another big plus point: the quality / price! The quality is excellent and priced the same for all the lamps, one sees not the masses. Soldano thank you!

I would do without hesitation that choice ;-) I urge you to everyone who wants to spend quality lamps at all!
