The JC-40 Jazz Chorus is celebrated for its pristine, stereo clean sound, making it an ideal foundation for any guitarist’s pedalboard. The true stereo input allows for a wide array of stereo effects, giving players the ability to create lush, expansive soundscapes. The updated onboard effects include chorus, reverb, and distortion, each meticulously designed to complement the clean tones of the JC-40.

With a range of controls and connectivity options, the JC-40 provides extensive flexibility for tone shaping and performance. The amp features dedicated knobs for volume, treble, middle, bass, distortion, reverb, speed, and depth, along with switches for bright, vibrato/chorus, and effect loop. Multiple input and output jacks, including effect return and send, line out, and headphone jacks, ensure compatibility with various gear and setups.
