“ Its a mono guitar so stereo doesn’t matter “
Your wrong. Its the chorus effect that is stereo , and massively spacial. You should have been bothered to put two microphones on it.
These amps, both JC120 and this, its little brother the JC40 , are an industry standard.
Mettalica’s J Hetfield use this for cleans.
You can also totally nail Andy Summers Police tone too.
This amp has the most beautiful chorus I have ever heard. No pedal can touch it.
Don't let the 40 watts fool you. These amps are absurdly loud for their size. You can gig a small to medium sized pub with one of these no problem... Best amp I've ever owned. Takes pedals like a dream. A DD-200 through this thing sounds like a heavenly dimension opened up in front of you.
I have the amp and love it but this sounds like true white knight fanboy stuff.... it's kinda creepish
The best solid state amps that will ever be made. Unbelievable. I own the JC-40. It's amazing. This is the best demo here. Cheers.
playing starts at 4:30
to the top
Yeah, fucking blah blah useless, style "i tell you my life..."
Almost everyone can do dirty, but when it comes to clean and
chorus Roland are King!!! One amazing amplifier, as much as I love tubes, these
amps are in a league all of their own and unmatched. Excellent review.
+Hexagenium Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the demo
just bought this amp and couldn't agree with you more!
Fantastic gigging amp. Light, rugged, beautiful clean tone and chorus. Going on two years with mine and no regrets.
VOX is also amazing when it comes to clean sound
Best non tube amp on the market for clean tones!
What about Henriksen models and Quilter?
The distortion on the JC 40 is excellent!
Really nice amp. Distortion surprisingly good. Tom Quayle does great reviews and is an amazing player.
Tom Quayle is a really good clean guitar player. Great playin Tom.
that was the most useful amp demo I've seen. Going through the EQ band by band was terrific. Maybe not so flashy or sexy, but very informative. About a billion times more useful than watching someone wank around doing blues riffs.
Matt Haddock I couldn’t have put it better myself!
For a while I’ve been looking for reviews of the JC amps an this is by far the most informative and complete I have found. So many different tones were covered, amazing sounds and great playing. Cheers!
6:28 wow! The reverb is awesome
Thanks for the great review! I love the tones this amp gets. Cheers!
Thanks for the thorough video. So many options with this amp. I just purchased one and cannot wait to try it out.
Nice playing! This demo sold me the idea of getting a JC 40 ASAP.
fantastic demo Tom - awesome playing, clean & drive
This is the best demo of this amp on UA-cam! Great work!
Great review... Thank you guys for it !
Beautiful cleans, and I'm surprised how nice the distortion is, I need this amp!
+Osvaldo Rodríguez Thanks for watching. Glad you like the amp.
+SoundAffectsPremier How much U.S dollars does this amp go for? Sounds amazing. :)
$999
$599...just bought one.
Excellent review. Great info on specs and features. Well done.
Thank you for your kind comment!
Your playing is just amazing.
fantastic review - thank you
The little JC-22 sounds nice too.
amazing amp and amazing guitar player.
Best comprehensive demo ever! Thanks 🎉
Thats a decent distortion sound, I loved your review. I used to have a JC 77 and it brought back memories. I might just buy it
+Max Hernandez Thanks Max, please subscribe for more new product demos.
Such a professional demo...
I bought this great amp last night.. Great review, great player!! Really enjoyed this review. Great great great ;-)
Really nice review, thanks
Love the demo.
Fantastic cleans sounds
Very good demo,, thanks!
Thanks for this thorough and varied review. So refreshing to see amp and guitar demos that aren't just dudes shredding cliche blues leads over and over. Hearing chords, arpeggios, major scales and modes, etc. give you a much better sense of the capabilities of an amp or guitar or effect. Also, where can I get one of those giant Connect 4 games you have on your wall? :)
wow at 10:54 it really flows absulutelly flawless .. brilliant sounding !
Fantastic playing sir! That tone sounds great, thanks for the demo, and beautiful guitar and playing!
damn this is a really great way to review an amp
Really nice review.
Most useful JC-40 review - thanks
+csharpminorseven Thanks for watching. Please subscribe for more demos and reviews
THIS...is how a review is done! Nice job.
Great video! Thanks!
bye bye my old jc 120 i need this jc 40 thanks Tom
A GREAT DEMO .
Great video. thank you!
maug-osh thank you....that's what i call a good demo .... starting by explaining the features, then working through the controls with tasteful sound examples.
i am subbed on will bells.
i mean i live in the middle of nowhere......i can't just go try stuff out.
I'm impressed with that sunburst type quitar..
Great demo, with one major flaw: with the typical stereo effects which contribute so much to its sound and popularity, we get a mono recording.
Are we hearing the SM57 here? It sounds like the lav mic is the main audio.
This is the best amp ever made.
I am looking at the JC 22 for home practice, and the 40. thoughts ? thanks.
@@crazywisdom2 40 can be whisper quiet and loud enough to gig…but more expensive…the 22 is easier to carry and takes up less space…they both sound great…I prefer the JC 40…
nice demo,good to see some making a listenable demo without the screeching or fuzz box.
nice demo! should have used 2 mics though, the chorus is gorgeous and space.
Can you record just using the "Line Out" and plugging a instrument cable into my scarlett 2i4? Will i get a good sound? I live in an apparment so i just want to record DI, not micing the amp at all
good review
+Don Welch Thanks for watching. Please subscribe for more reviews
To me this is the most versatile amplifier it has both the sounds of Fender and Marshall or the best of both worlds
Very curious how the Friedman BE OD Pedal would sound in front? Have incredible chorus and incred distortion. Love to see that vid. Just subbed
Hey Tom, I just found this video while looking for reviews for this amp, and i wanted to say that melody you did starting at 5:10 really sounded nice, and i thought if you hadnt already? and if it wasnt from another song? then you should definitely work on that, because it sounds really nice! Your playing is very nice too! Oh and the amp is nice also! lol..
I'm really curious how you reduced the noise while recording? Thanks! :)
Is the lead tone in the intro music at the beginning also coming from the jc-40???
Men lets play the amp. Thanks for uploading this video.
So if you use only mono is only one speaker working?
Sound Affects/Tom...the jazzy passage from 7.20...what is that? it's fabulous!
great review! just wished it included a single coil test. Cheers.
Has direct Stereo out put for recording too
Great sound demo. I actually own one of these amps and your demo seems a better representation of what I get out of the amp than some other demos.
+Vanessa P
Also, maybe a follow-up with how it works with pedals would be good. I find a lot of people want to know that, and in my personal experience the amp is ideal for pedals.
+Vanessa P Will it clear a drummer's volume with clean tones?
This 40 Watts Guitar Amp still cost 1,000 US$ this year 2022. I don't know in some Countries if this is on Sale, because this was launched in 2015.
It's a Malasian Amp? Im asking because in Argentina we only have thoses and i don't know if the quality is the same than yours
Great review Tom. Can we plug in 2 guitars into this amp into the 2 inputs? Would that work well? Thanks.
Hello, quelqu'un pour me conseiller ? quel est le meilleur moyen de repiquer le son en stéréo de ce modèle ou le JC 22 ? en sortie ligne out L+R sur console ? ou 2 micros type SM57 sur interface audio ? Désolée pour la question, je débute en home studio :) Merci
It takes pedals well I take it?
@3.10 you say..'extension speakers via the stereo line outs"
is this correct? it shows connecting stereo line outs to a mixer in the manual. Doesn't mention ext cabs/speakers at all.
Interesting result you got there.Time to shoot Roland a message on this…gonna do that later.
Thanks for posting.
What about the hiss/buzz that I hear everyone complain about? Can you make that go away at low volumes?
how do you get it not to buzz???
Glad they upgraded the distortion. The old one was horrid! It could be useful in a few settings but not very pleasing to say the least. Great review, great SS amp. The JC-120 was way too big for the average club gig, so the JC-40 seems the perfect replacement for smaller gigs and such. The only thing left to mention is the gorgeous chorus and very useful tremolo. Thanks for such a great review.... you've sold me! :0)
icarus ?
I take it the stereo feature is only relevant to chorus effect, and unable to do a wet/dry effect?
Would this be loud and bassy enough for a small band rehearsal room? rock n roll, pop, blues, alternative
Morten O.T. I think its really bassy, even too much for me.
I own the Jazz Choruss 55, from description it seems this have the same circuitry except the presence of the loop effect and the voicing of the distorsion channel, I'd like to know if is possible to modify the dirt channel of mine in order to obtain the one of this new model. Maybe in the future someone will do the mod.
It's not possible
Hi. I want to do some recordings with the jazz chorus sound. Would the 40 sound just as good as the 120 for recording?
would like to know that as well!
Hi would this amp be a perfect compliment for the dry amp for a wet dry ,wet rig? Thank you
I have used my JC40 as the wet/wet portion of a w/d/w rig, and it works great, with one gotcha. The JC40 speakers are 10”, and I have a hard time getting in proper phase with the 12” speakers in my dry amp cabinet. If I could get a cab with 10” speakers they would likely match phase more easily. I use an EQD Swiss Things as my ABY splitter, and it has a phase toggle for one of the outs, but it still doesn’t usually match that well.
How about this amp for metal??? You think that'd work, I mean its so clean that I can just stick a distortion pedal in front of it right????
Can you gig with this amp?
Are you playing a Copeland song at @5:10?
This makes me miss my JC120
Anyone know the guitar used?
I'm looking for a great pedal platform amp for home recording, but at volumes that won't drive the wife crazy. Would this amp be too loud for that?
quel es le footswitch que vous utilisez svp merci
Have they fixed the hiss I’ve heard every time I’ve tried one of these amps in the past? I’ve always wanted one, but that sound is so much worse than the 60 cycle hum on my Fender Deluxe Reverb and VOX AC15.
Not at all ;( It's still there
Okay then. It's beautiful.
The chorus in that jc40 is the same Of the boss CE-1 pedal??????
jorge tacho not sure what it is modelled in but the way it works is that you only get chorus from one speaker whilst the other just has the dry signal. I have a jc40 and boss md500 which has a bunch of chorus effects on it but I still prefer the jc40 chorus. It’s just beautiful!
So if I plug my guitar in, does it use both speakers??? Like say I didn't use any effects. I read that if I plug my guitar into the R it will just use 1 speaker but what if I put it into the L/Mono side... Does it use both speakers?! Or does it just become a 1x10"...
No it functions like any other stereo mono rig on the planet.
Very nice. How responsive would you say the the amps distortion is to the volume control on your guitar? Does it do the "clean up" trick? Or would a higher end overdrive pedal be the ticket for that sort of technique.
Sorry, I'm GASing pretty bad for this amp :D
+Janine Louvel Hi Janine, on the pickups we tested the amp did the "clean up trick" with ease. Thanks again for watching. Please subscribe for more videos
SoundAffectsPremier Nice! Thanks guys :)
Fibenare guitar ?
The rotary sound is aimed at the keyboard / organ. Its very near to the rotary cab. It does sound great with the guitar though
Really glad it throws the sound forwards unlike most amps that throw it….. backwards?? 😳🙄. Great video. 😏
Is there a way to control the volume of the stereo line out independently of the Master Volume?
If I want it to record on a daw I have to set a very high volume to get a good signal and the only option I see is to disconnect the speakers if it does not have an independent volume.
I have struggled with this, and no, there’s no independent control of the line out and the main volume. The trick I came up with is to plug a cable into the headphones out jack, which disables the speakers. Turn the volume up to get a decent line out level, but no sound from the main speakers. Not perfect, and I too would like a level control for the lines out, but workable.
@@tpherndonthis is actually very helpful to me, I never thought to plug into the speakers. Thanks for this idea.
Great demo. But why not record it in stereo my man? So few amps are in stereo, it would seem that is a key selling point for this guy
Love your videos Tom, but at the beginning you say the demo is not in stereo and how it's not a big deal, and how you're not using a stereo guitar. But throughout the video you keep saying how the effects will sound different to hat we viewers are hearing because they're in stereo. I just think for demos like this it would be better for everyone to just record with the stereo outs so the effects sould the way they're supposed to, and you won't have to keep saying how they will sound different to the player. No disrespect intended, just a suggestion for future vids.
I have always wanted a Roland JC -120 but the JC-40 actually makes more sense how does the BOSS Katana 100 compare to this legend I saw your review on that today now I cant decide between the 2 ... I plan on getting a BOSS GT-1000 as well to run through the amp I end up with.
What did you get in the end? I was also thinking whether to get the Katana Artist or the JC22. I have a Boss GT-100 so in the end I got the JC-22, as figured I already have all the pedal FX so really just needed the amp for clean tones, chorus and to use as a pedal platform.
I have to say these amps make a fantastic pedal platform, am getting some amazing tones using the JC-22, the 4 cable method and manual stomp boxes on the GT-100. I have assigned the Amp Control on the GT-100 so that I can switch the JC-22 chorus on/off via the GT-100. I mainly use the JC-22 preamp then with Tube screamer or Rat overdrive/distortions from the GT-100, absolutely fantastic tones.
@@nazperalta1794 Im going with the JC - 40 as soon as i can afford to im still using my fender amp and just ordered a ZOOM 5gn I wanted the BOSS me-80 but they hiked the price and its an extra $35 for the power cord the zoom is on sale for $50 off and the power cord comes with it + an added 2 year warrenty ...
They played it smart with the Drive control, and softened it up. It's still @ss, but not as bad as before.
Which one is best? Roland blues cube or jazz chorus?
I know I’m three years late but the jazz chorus by a long shot
Be great to here it with a good over drive in stereo
Mmmm, I'm always on the lookout for a great solid state amp, but without a bunch of amp simulations. Maybe the JC40 is the one ... I just want nice cleans. Is there a better amp to consider than this?
For clean tones especially if you're wanting a solid state, absolutely. I'd put it up against vox and fender.
Vox makes the best sounding solid state amp. Either the cambridge or the pathfinder 15 are worth hunting down.Also a fender princeton chorus is a clone of the Roland jcm at half the price.
Jonathan L try the dv mark little 250 gh.. I sell my tube amp after that really great amp and great clean pedal platform
