    This brought back so many memories for me. I used to work in a music store in 1976 and can remember when one of these came in and we were just amazed at what it could do and the sounds that we got from it. I stayed in retail till 1980 and lost count of how many we sold over the years. A very popular combo amp and now an industry icon for very good reason!
    Enjoy Tomo,... you deserve it!

    I have Roland Cube 30X since it first came. It has Jazz Chorus sound too. I like it has many sounds(modeling amp) and can't afford many amps. Never any faults.
    Good amp like JC-120.

    I still have my JC120H which is the head version of this amp. I bought it when I was a teenager back in 1982 or 1983. This is such a classic amp. The chorus is very unique because internally the JC120 has two separate 60W amps each connected to a speaker. One of the speakers has the dry sound and the other has the output of the chorus without the dry signal. This is why no chorus pedals can sound like the chorus of this amp.

    Lucky you. I have an old Roland Cube 100 guitar amp that is still one of my fallback reliable amps. At one time I gigged with it with no pedals and just loved the way my guitar sounded. It was a 'crutch' I leaned on many times. How I would love to find one of these that I could afford to own in my retirement years. Enjoy the good fortune of having such an outstanding tool.

    Jeez. You plug it in and straight out of the box, instant jazz sound. Didn't even need a big box jazz guitar. Is the effects loop stereo? Noise? P90s in a room with a rheostat, maybe? Might need one of those power filter thingies for single coils in a house with old wiring. JC-120 is an amazing amp. Reverb, chorus and vibrato? 120 Watts? Takes pedals well? What's not to like. That case is awesome. Only downside is it is a hernia waiting to happen. At least it has casters but that probably won't help you get it in the car. Might want to buy a truck with a lift gate. Lol!

    I first saw a JC120 at a club in Boston, 1983 (Axis on Lansdown Street). Aztec Camera’s 1st American show; Roddy Frame was playing a 1950s, gold, Gibson ES-295 and an Ovation Balladeer; both a good match for the Roland. And what a great guitar player too!

    I remember being very disappointed when I bought my first distortion pedal, the Metal Zone, and it just didn’t sound the same as it did in the shop.
    Of course that’s because in the shop the MT-2 was hooked up to a JC-120! That’s when I realized how much of a difference the quality of an amp and its speakers make.

Do you always buy a better power cable for your amps? Hard to beat the clean sound on these, and also the option to run stereo effects on one amp is really cool and i wish fender would do something similar on the twin reverb. Anyways thanks for the video.
