Sound: This amp goes from shimmering clean to down and dirty just by adjusting two knobs! I've heard friends gear which cost twice as much with half the tone. Takes pedals extremely well (especially my Visual Sound pedals). Feature: I would have liked a spring reverb, but again the whole Keep It Simple, Soldano philosophy applied. It has something other 15-20W amps don't have, a stand-by switch. Ease of Use: Pre-amp, Master Volume, 3-band eq. If you can't dial up perfect tone, maybe you should stick to your Paper Jams. Quality: Mine is high quality. Had to redrill a hole on the rubber foot of the cabinet where my 2 yr old tried to drag it across shag carpet. Of course he could destroy a Boss pedal if given 5-10 minutes :) Value: One of the best sounding amps period. And you won't have to take out a second mortgage or sell one of your kids to afford it. Manufacturer Support: They answered my questions very quickly. The Wow Factor: Very stylish design, awesome tone, simple use, and great support. Makes me happy! Overall: I should be playing this a long time. I may upgrade the tubes to 2 JJ 12AX7's, a JJ 12AT7, and 2 JJ EL84's when the time comes. I would definitely replace it if stolen. If I were to upgrade to a 50W head, it would be the JCA50H with the J48S cabinet.

Sound: The JCA20H is as simple as it gets. Warm tube tone with great overdrive when needed. There is not a lot of clean headroom (plenty for home use) but the gain is amazing. It's a bit too loud for most home use. I'd love to have this EXACT amp with half the power. Feature: One channel with gain, vol, EQ, and presence. It doesn't get much simpler, but you've got everything you need to dial in just about any sound you want. Ease of Use: You have to spend a little time tweaking knobs to find your sound. There aren't any presets on this one. Quality: Solid construction, especially for the price. Value: It's a great sounding amp for the money. You definitely get more for the price than some of the more established brands offer. Manufacturer Support: No Comment, I haven't needed it. The Wow Factor: It's not fancy and not really pretty but it sounds great. Overall: I don't think you can get a better all tube amp for this price. Build and sound quality are far better than the price would suggest.

Sound: Overall this amp has a nice high gain sound suitable for rock and blues-rock (which is what I play). Not that you can't find other useable tones but that is what I've been playing so far. I was concerned that 20 watts wasn't going to cut it but with my trio (bass, drums, guitar) it held up well. My bandmates have commented several times on the tone. I do find the highs need to be tamed a little and that may change as the speaker breaks in. I haven't tried it through another cabinet yet but I plan too. I've owned a Soldano and there is definitely some of his mojo in this amp. Feature: This is a single channel amp so if you need channel switching look elsewhere. Bass, Middle and Treble are functional and help dial in "your" tone. Prescence adds overall brightness. Gain and volume allow you to get the general sound you need with just the right amount of overdrive. Not a to of options but that's what I like. I'm a guitar straight into the amp guy so I tend to dial in a good tone and go with it. Ease of Use: I had no trouble at all dialing up a good tone in a relatively short time frame. Quality: This is a nice looking combo and the build quality vs. price is excellent. I intend to use this for club gigs and I expect it to hold up well. Value: I am very pleased with the performance and tone of this amp for the price I paid. I have more expensive amps and I am not going to stop using them but my Jet City will be seeing more playing time as well. Manufacturer Support: No problems so no comments here. The Wow Factor: Very nice design head and cab. Overall: Overall I'm thrilled with this amp. I gave it an 8 because I really want to use it in more situations but I expect that it will fine.

Sound: This amp sounds incredible! I play a Strat and a Les Paul and this amp brings out the best of each one. It has a sound that cannot be matched by any amp that's even close to it's price. It responds just right to pick attack and loves pedals. I gave it a 9 only because it breaks up really early making it hard to get a clean tone that is as awesome as the overdriven tone, but that's not really that big of a deal for me. My Fender Hot Rod is gonna be getting dusty. Feature: I gave it a 10 because it has no features. You go from guitar, to tube, to speaker, nothing more, nothing less. Anything else you want in your sound is what effects pedals are for. Ease of Use: If you can turn a knob to find the sounds you like you can rock this amp. Quality: I had to send mine back to get a tube replaced, but other than that, this amp is solid. It looks as good as it sounds. Value: I gave it a 5 based only on the crappy Jet City customer support. I would have given it a 10 before I dealt with them. Manufacturer Support: If I could give Jet City a -10 I would. I purchased the amp in September and had to send it back to have a tube replaced. After dealing with Jet City only through email because you can't speak to anyone on the phone I finally got the return authorization for the repair in November. I got the amp back in December. Because of the experience I had with their total lack of customer support I will never buy another Jet City anything. The Wow Factor: If you hear one you will want it. Overall: Again not a ten based only on Jet City as a company. If it was stolen I would not buy another because of them, not the amp.
