Great vintage amp, that has so much control that you can tune it to your sound.

You can make any sound/tone you want with this amp. Its super clean and shapeable. I love jazz and this amp has amazing sound detail and range, base mid and high. If you get a chance to get one, grab it. The chorus is cool and works well but I don't play with effects or pedals. If I suck I want to hear it so that I can improve. Distortion not great, but again I don't care. Some people say these amps have an 80's tone, but I don't. It is so shapeable you can get any tone you want from it. Sounds great at low volume for practice and it has more than enough power to play out. I had a red knob twin that had no low volume capabilties. Its a real spring tank reverb and its superb. Build quality is great and its made in the usa.

I always liked these better than the JC120 for that 80s new wave kinda tone. The new ones suck though. They ruined them somehow. The one you pictured is THE ONE.
