No longer available at zZounds
This Jet City combos packs plenty of vintage tube power with five 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 power tubes.

The Jet City JCA2212 is a "combo" version of the JCA22H. It's the complete package, with two foot-switchable channels and crazy tube tone that ranges from clean and jangly, to full-on Soldano high gain. Easy-access speaker connectors on the rear panel allow JCA2212 to drive external cabinets either with or without the internal Jet City Eminence Custom driver. Stacked on an additional JCA12S, the speaker volume doubles and the added height brings the controls to arm's length in a small club.

I am floored. I really don't even know what to say. This amp is wickedly unbelievable! I am so happy with the tones I am getting from this thing. It's even got 2 channels and an effects loop. The cleans go from chimey but smooth to gritty and warm. Great for anything you need cleans for. And let's face it: the overdrive is why I bought this amp and probably why you want it too. I cannot praise the overdrive enough that screams out of this amp. You can back it way down if you like but it's got plenty under the hood to scream. To be honest, it probably isn't going to be a drop tuned, mid scooped, fuzzy fizz metalheads dream come true, but it gets real nasty and d-i-r-t-y. Real nice, articulate and rounded distortion too, not enough to lose all sense of what you're doing but it kicks some serious noise out. If you can't find a tone to work with from this amp, then guitar just ain't for you.
