Rock out with the Jet City JCA100H. With killer tone courtesy of Soldano design, this amp head provides 100 watts of power and dual-channel operation.

With two channels of Soldano tone and 100 watts of pure tube power, this is Jet City's flagship. The Normal channel has plenty of headroom to deliver clear, bright clean tones and can be driven hard enough to get downright raunchy. The Overdrive channel is the circuit that made Soldano famous. It's been modeled and imitated, but this is the real-effing-high-gain-deal.

Excellent all around. Can't beat the price, quality, in this range. Highly recommended for rock players of any type!

Sound
A Soldano Hot Rod owner, I was looking for the tight, warm, and expansive sound Michael is known for and I had toured with for 10 years. No longer a full time musician for quite some time, I didn't want to invest in the Soldano line, and had seen some demos of this new brand, of which he has designed. This amp has all of the above, and at less than half the price. Now, it isn't Soldano, but if you want a very close second, this is it. BTW- Active pickups seem to be more responsive to this amp....

Features
One addition I'd like to see for the future is a depth mod, but for the $, the features are what one would expect.

Ease of Use
Very easy to dial in based on simple eq controls. Add a parametric eq, and now you're cookin' with gas!

Quality
Excellent build quality at first glance. My old Soldano was an absolute workhorse, and if Michael had anything to do with components, chassis, cabinet, etc, this will probably follow suit.

Value
If you want Soldano, but can't afford to invest in Soldano yet, go with these. Very easy to dial in, friendly, quiet effects loop, warm, tight sound, for an excellent price. Doesn't get much better for the musician on a budget! Highly recommended by a former professional touring… read more musician of ten+ years.

Not dealt with Jet City directly yet.

The Wow Factor
Good looking head! BTW- you can order the black grill face plate for the head if you choose directly from Jet City. Much nicer looking!
