Back to Product Information

Sound: It sounds great, but I must admit that I'm just a home player/recorder and haven't played through many real amps. I have, however, played through a few amp modelers (Korg PX4, POD, and J-station) and they all sound fairly similar...except that the PX4 was extremely and irrepairably noisy on distortions. Feature: It has just about every non-gimicky sound a serious guitarist could want. The patch editing software included (J-Edit), is the best and easiest you will find for any of the modelers on the market. It looks like an actual rack of components on your computer screen...the buttons and knobs fully tweakable. Has a "Tap-it" button for full control over tremolo, delay, etc. The guitar tuner is pretty good (a lot better than some of the reviews I've read). Quality: metal chasis, solid knobs/buttons, screwed-on jacks...once again, they don't come any higher quality than this. Value: I would give it a much, much higher rating if I could. Genesis3 or POD cost at least twice as much...for the same thing with a few gimicks thrown in? Manufacturer Support: considering the company recently went out of business, the support is surprisingly good. They still have a very informative website and their forums still have at least one moderator who occasionally answers questions. Phone support?...probably not. The Wow Factor: extremely good looking/sleek unit, but form definitely follows function here. Overall: I don't think I'll need anything else after this product.

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: The sound is awesome. Unless you have one of the amp models that are on the J-Station, and compare both of their sounds for 3 hours straight, then you wouldn't even recognize the difference. Feature: Comes with many, many presets of sounds, but, best of all, you can make your own! Just find a preset, tweak the knobs, and find the sound you were looking for. You can also just mess around with the thing if you dont know what you're doing, and still get a great sound. Quality: My friend has had this thing for a LONG, LONG time, and it still sounds like he had just bought it. Looks the same, too, with not a ding or scratch on it. I once dropped it on a hardwood floor, and suddenly felt a wave of horror within me. But I picked it up, and it looked and worked exactly the same. Very durable. Value: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT assume the POD Line 6 is better than the J-Station just because the POD is twice the price. The POD has a very thin, nasaly sound to it. The POD may have more amp models, but with the J-Station, you can download more amp models online!! Manufacturer Support: They have a phone number and website for customer support, though I've never used them. But I guess Johnson would be very helpful, in case something happens. The Wow Factor: I have wanted this baby FOREVER, and I finally ordered it yesterday. Has a great, sleek design, is very lightweight, and packs quite a punch. Get this if you're on a tight budget, but still want high-quality amp model sounds. Trust me, $150 is nowhere near as much as you would pay for just one of the many amp models on the J-Station. In fact, the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (One of the great amps on the J-Station) alone is sometimes over $1600!! Overall: I'll probably never buy anything else now that I'm getting the J-Station. Until Johnson creates another, more improved J-Station, with even better sound quality and more amp models and effects, I'll stick with this baby.
