    That's what my guitar player used to have, a JC 120, I was the bass player. So now that I'm learning guitar I think this is the amp that I want. Hey just curious you have it mic'd up with two mics, is that for going through the other amp to just make it louder or is that for recording purposes?

    • @3riccarlson
      @3riccarlson  2 роки тому

      The two mics are simply to record the chorus effect giving it that wide sound (if you’re wearing headphones you’ll notice the difference when I flick the chorus switch on)

    I was using a JC120 as a pedal platform back in 1987!? Guitarcheologist since '79.
    I feel like a dinosaur now looking back, but some great memories, we had stacks of Marshall amps & Roland JC120's for our 'dirty / clean' sounds/tones & our overdrive
    or heavy / lead channels the Marshalls did the trick. Then for our clean / airy-fairy stuff we'd use the Rolands. Great amps despite being solid-state, they make excellent pedal platforms, JC120's are the bees' knees, the lizards' gizzards & the ducks' nuts!
    Far too much guitar & rock n' roll is grossly insufficient, woefully inadequate
    and nowhere near enough - you know it makes sense!?. Peace, respect & f*$k 👿Covid.

      It's mostly about the overuse than actual animosity towards the genre I think. There's more to guitar playing than pentatonic licks, but sometimes guitar gear demos don't show anything else.

      I do not play blues rock. I write pop music. So, when I look up gear reviews and hear someone playing blues rock it doesn't give me a realistic expectation of how it may sound in my hands. These videos are geared towards others like me.
