By	Ed Caggiani - See all my reviews

I've been using a JC-120 since the 1980's and it's been the most trustworthy piece of musical equipment I've ever owned. The clean tones are legendary and the two channels (one dry, one with effects - with a hi/lo input for each channel) provide excellent flexibility.

If you watch concerts, pay attention to the amps on stage. Chances are there's a JC-120 somewhere, even today.

My one minor nit would be that the built-in distortion is hardly worth mentioning. You'll need an effects box if you want to get down and dirty. But the JC-120 is so pure and clean that it is the perfect amp for any guitarist who already uses external effects (like a POD or separate pedals). I no longer even use the built in reverb and chorus (though both are top notch) mostly because I play through a Pod XT Live, and my sounds already have reverb and such built in.

If you're looking for the purest clean sounds that bring out the full range of tones from your guitar, you can't go wrong. If you are looking for a hard rockin', head bangin' monster all in one box, you may want to look elsewhere (unless you use an external effects system to get those sounds - the JC-120 will output them perfectly).

Oh, and also, each channel has a "bright" switch which I normally leave off since it gets way too "trebley" for my tastes.
