About Roland JC-40

A modern innovation with legendary stereo tone, the JC-40 Jazz Chorus 40W 2x10" Guitar Amplifier delivers Roland's iconic "JC clean" sound, coupled with the signature stereo chorus effect. This compact combo amp is a modern evolution of the flagship JC-120 amp, offering a pristine stereo clean sound that serves as an ideal canvas for tone shaping with stompbox effects.

The JC-40 Jazz Chorus Amplifier now features a true stereo input, enhancing performance with stereo effects pedals, guitar synths, amp modeling gear, and multi-effects. This addition caters to the needs of contemporary guitarists, providing a richer, more immersive sound experience.

The onboard effects of the JC-40 include newly added features and updated sounds, designed to meet the demands of today's players. The amplifier boasts a stereo 40-watt amp with two custom-designed 10-inch speakers, ensuring a punchy stereo sound that stands out in any band setup.

The JC-40's signature Dimensional Space Chorus effect offers an expansive stereo sound, while the built-in vibrato, distortion, and reverb effects have been newly evolved to suit modern styles. The amplifier also includes footswitch jacks for easy on/off switching of onboard effects during performances, and a stereo effects loop for connecting external effects.

The JC-40 Jazz Chorus Amplifier is the benchmark in clean guitar tone, offering the iconic clean voice and huge stereo sound of the JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier in a scaled-down, modernized version. Its two independent power amps and custom-designed speakers deliver a robust stereo sound that won't get lost in the mix.

The amplifier's onboard effects, including the trademark Dimensional Space Chorus stereo effect, have been refreshed for enhanced performance. This effect fills the stage with immersive 3D sound, with selectable fixed or manual modes for increased tonal range. The updated built-in distortion offers a smooth, satisfying tone that's perfect for all music genres.

The JC-40's front-panel stereo input allows players using stereo effects devices to achieve a wide, inspiring sound without the need for two separate amps. The amp's rich clean tone enhances the output of external stereo pedals like delays, reverbs, and various modulation effects. It's also perfectly suited for advanced gear that employs amp modeling, multi-effects, and/or synth capabilities.

The JC-40 Jazz Chorus Amplifier is an ideal platform for pedal-based players, offering a rich, neutral sound that won't color your basic guitar tone. Its rear panel is filled with connectivity options, including an effects loop for patching in mono or stereo effects, Line Out jacks for a convenient mono or stereo feed to a mixing board or recorder, and a headphones jack for quiet practicing. The amplifier also supports optional footswitches, allowing easy on/off switching of chorus/vibrato, reverb, and distortion effects during performances.
