So it's a JC-77 with stereo inputs? Any other differences I'm not seeing?

Yup--had one of those for years. Cool unique amp

Looks interesting!

Very interesting! I'm wondering what the street price is going to be? Here's a link to a Premier Guitar listing,

Can't wait to check one out. Love Roland JC amps.

Hmmm? I'll stick to my 66 Vibrolux..

Thanks! This'll definitely be on my radar!

Cool. I hope they update the distortion.

Still have my old JC-77, doesn't get a lot of use but you cannot beat the clean chorused tones when the mood strikes!
The distortion sounds okay at low levels but it doesn't sound as good at higher volume levels.
Have had that amp for 20+ years and have no intention of letting it go.

 

[megaboogie]

Can't wait to hear this amp. I think it will sound sweet with the 2x10 config. love the light weight too.

 

[guitarno]

Looks interesting!... Never played on a JC-120, but definitely an iconic amp that has stood the test of time. The stereo inputs for use with the stereo outs of a modeler is a very nice feature. Might be a great small venue / practice amp. I wonder how the sound compares to a pair of FRFR speakers. I’ll have to hear one when they’re out.

 

[superdave2001]

Awesome. Definitely on my radar. Wonder what direction (if any) this will push the prices of used JC-77's - since it's clearly in that camp.

 

[CA$H FLOW]

If it's anything like the old JC-77 I used at a bar gig last year(backline), it'll be an awesome pedal platform amp. I couldn't believe the great tone I was getting from that amp. I actually considered buying a used one of Kijiji, but didn't end up going through with it.

It's funny but I always preferred the tones out of the JC-77 ahead of the JC-120 so I am definitely interested in this one especially with the stereo patching in both the front and the effects loop.
