Product Description

For 20 years the Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus has been the amp of choice for jazz axemen and other guitarists who can't get enough of its clean sound and rich, stereo chorus. The JC-120 features twin 60W + 60W amps, two 12 in. speakers, and 2 input channels (each with 3-band EQ).

Unbelievable Cleans

When you plug your guitar into a JC, all the true tonal character of your instrument comes out. Distortion is extremely low and frequency response is accurate. This means the quality of your effects come through, too. And to make sure of that, there's a stereo effects loop on channel 2 that meets full professional specifications; you can select series/parallel connections and switch between different input and output signal levels.

Tonal Flexibility

But let's not forget the effects that come with the JC-120! Yeah, there's that famous wide-spatial chorus that you've heard in countless recordings and performances. But there's also vibrato with rate and depth controls mild distortion and clear reverb, all of which can be turned on and off with footswitches. And though the sound of the Jazz Chorus is certainly refined, there's nothing delicate about this amp! It's solidly constructed and known for handling a lot more road abuse than a lot of rocker amps. Whether you play jazz or not, if you want an excellent and dependable stereo amp that sets professional standards, look no further than the JC-120. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Roland products.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus Customer Review
Sound: The JC120 is an awesome clean amp. Different from a Twin Reverb, but not better or worse. That is why I use it to amplify my PodXt modeler. I played a JC120 at music school in the early 80's and loved it, but then gravitated to the Fender Twin for clean sounds and Hiwatt and MesaBoogie for distorted tones. Now that I use a Pod to model all of those great tube amp/speaker combinations, I needed a combo amp for gigs/rehearsals that would not color the sound of the POD. Lots of people complain about the sound of a Pod through their guitar amp, but if you like what you hear in the headphones, you will like what you hear coming out of the JC120, it's that pristine. Feature: Classic clean tone, plus a great chorus. The spring reverb is not very useful and the 'distortion' has always been kind of a joke, but who cares? You buy this amp for it's bright clean sound, period. If you want to add overdrive, get a tube screamer or something--although I think those sound better in front of a tube amp. (except if you're using a Pod like me...) Like just about every great piece of gear, the JC120 focuses on doing one thing very well. Ease of Use: Very easy to use and tweak. The EQ is very musical. Makes a great acoustic guitar stage amp, and works well with keyboards, too, although it may not have enough bass response for some synths. I like being able to plug directly into the L & R inputs of the power amp. Quality: Seems to work well and take a lot of abuse. Built like a tank. Value: Yeah, it's worth it. Definitely. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it. The Wow Factor: Let's face it, this amp has a look all its own. If your main concern is lookin cool onstage, get a Marshall stack or tweed Bassman. The JC120 is definitely not "cool". However, I could give a ---- about how it looks as long as the sound is awesome. Most people can't believe I get the sounds I do out of my little setup. Overall: Overall great amp that deserves to be called a classic!

"Thirty + years and still going strong!"
Sound: It still sounds great with 30 year old speakers. lol. I usually play it around 2 to 3 and it is quite loud. The chorus is great. This is what sold me on it. The distortion isn't so good, so I use a Proco Rat. Its 20 years old and is still going strong too. I would recommend this amp to anyone who wants to start off with a super amp that will last a lifetime. Great Amp. Feature: Chorus is perfect. Distortion is lacking. Ease of Use: Turn it on and turn the knobs where you want them. Its easy. I use a 30 year old Gibson Les Paul, a hot-rodded Ibanez and an Fender American Strat. All sound perfect with this amp. I also recently added a Carvin 412 speaker cabinet for some added thump. Sounds great! Quality: I bought my JC120 30 years ago and have never had any problems with it whatsoever. Not even a fuse. Value: Well worth the money I spent. Manufacturer Support: I have never needed any support. Never had anything go wrong with this amp whatsoever. The Wow Factor: I like it. Its a good looking amp. Overall: I will always keep this amp.
Style of Music: Rock and metal
