Roland JC-40

Was thinking of investing into a tube amp, like the Fender Blues junior or smth, but decided to go for a solid state amp because of easier handling and reliability. So i went for the best sounding solid state amp there is, the JC.
The stereo chorus sound is unbelievable and makes you high the first time you dial it.
The clean sound is punchy, and crystal clear. A custom 50s type jazz guitar with a P90 sounds like a Wes Montgomery or George Benson record. A Fender Strat MIJ sounds much more rounded and deep than other solid state amps Ive played through.
I dont use a lot of pedals, just a Vox wah and a Morley Pro series Distortion, and the JC takes them very good. I dont use the built in distortion, but its much better than other models of JCs I played, i.e. the old JC 50.
It sounds good on a soft volume, and it also can get loud. For most of the time when playing with bands (with loud drummers) on stage or studios, my volume knob is at 12 o clock.
Great for both a percussive, dry guitar sound, and a wet, lead-ish one.
Not too heavy, and looks very sturdy.

Cons: a back plate would be nice.

All in all: perfect for my needs, and the sound is... iconic! You'll definitely hear it

All my research on this amp has been confirmed once I plugged my guitar in.
It gives the clean sound that everyone talks about. The reverb and chorus are perfect as well. Stereo throughout which makes it great to work with pedals in front of the amp or using it through the fx loop and you can operate in parallel or serial, so you have every possible blending option available.
The order to delivery process for an international shipment crossing continents was flawless and the promised delivery date and time were spot on. I received prompt response to a question from the Thomann support desk as well.

If you are tired of some of the challenges when ordering through Amazon, I strongly recommend to use this channel.
The variety of products for seriously interested musical instrument users is actually much better and the support team know the products far beyond the available quantity and price.
