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).

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.

Pre-amp, Master Volume, 3-band eq. If you can't dial up perfect tone, maybe you should stick to your Paper Jams.

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 :)

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.

They answered my questions very quickly.

Very stylish design, awesome tone, simple use, and great support. Makes me happy!

With two(2) EL84 "CHINA," three(3) 12AX7B "CHINA," at 20 watts, the JCA20H and JCA12S cabinet produced very clear and "clean" tones with either single coil or humbuckers(even when the coils are split). Setting the pre-amp "Gain" at #4 - #9, adjusting the bass, mids, and treble as appropriate, then use the "Master" volume judiciously to dial-in "Blues," "Goth," "Metal," "Punk," "Grunge," "Indie,""NU Metal," and even "Garage rock" at sound levels that do not bring the Sheriff's Department knocking at your front door. The JCA12S cabinet pushes enough air to irritate the local "lounge lizards" and knock the war paint of the faces of the old "cougars" on the prowl.

The JCA20H is a simple single channel amplifier that will produce clean to gritty greasy compressed tones without the need for "stomp boxes." Using a "BOSS Fender '63 Reverb, FRV-1," and a "Fender '85 Strat" produced a nice "surf" tone.

Power on, standby, bass, mid, treble, volume, presence, VERY USER FRIENDLY.

Simple straight forward construction, easy access to chassis and tubes. Durable materials. The product is made in CHINA, and like many other products, if given a little care and maintenance should last a very long time.

The Jet City JCA20H head and JCA12S cabinet puts the "Soldano" sound within reach of most guitarist at an affordable price - GREAT VALUE!!

The unit I purchased from "ZZounds" has been problem free and has not required manufacturer's support.

It's a box covered in "tolex" with a moniker fastened on. The "Wow Factor," "Soldano" tone at an affordable price!

Played on and off for the last 40 years woodwinds, percussion, and electric guitar. Now, I just play for fun and entertainment.

Jazz (Traditional & Modern), Big Band Jazz, Symphonic, Acid Rock, Progressive and Heavy Metal.

Been playing for several years. Mainly jamming at home and doing solo stuff.

I play a little of everything. Mainly rock(classic, southern, hard), metal, country, and blues.

very well made amp for the money no complaints sounds just like a saldano

needs a reverb on the head unit but i run a digitech rp-500 through it and its perfect

easy as pie

will see how long it lasts but seems very well made

cant believe how they got so much into this amp for so little money?

called with a question on the cab outstanding help they must be paid well as the lady i talked to was happy and helpful as she cold be rare nowadays

cool looks easy to move around enough said!

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.

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.

You have to spend a little time tweaking knobs to find your sound. There aren't any presets on this one.

Solid construction, especially for the price.

It's a great sounding amp for the money. You definitely get more for the price than some of the more established brands offer.

No Comment, I haven't needed it.

It's not fancy and not really pretty but it sounds great.

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.

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.

I had no trouble at all dialing up a good tone in a relatively short time frame.

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.

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.

No problems so no comments here.

Very nice design head and cab.

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.

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.

If you can turn a knob to find the sounds you like you can rock this amp.

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.

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.

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.

If you hear one you will want it.
