Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus is a legendary solid-state amplifier delivering chorus and reverb effects in a portable format. Its dual 60-watt channels and built-in effects provide versatile tone for all music genres. The JC-120 remains iconic for its warm, dimensional tone.
The Roland JC-60 is a smaller single-speaker version of the famous Jazz Chorus solid-state combo, delivering the same ultra-clean, slightly scooped tone with built-in lush stereo-style chorus. Andy Summers used JC-60s in the studio. It offers pristine cleans and the signature JC chorus shimmer, ideal for clean rhythm, new wave and jazz where a bright, glassy, chorused clean is wanted.
