Roland Jazz Chorus JC-50

Another clip of the Jazz Chorus 50 amplifier in action (see my channel for more footage).
The JC-50 is the 'little brother' of the legendary JC-120 amplifier, with a 50w power stage and a single 12" Celestion speaker. There's not a great deal of content on RUclips of this particular model, but I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants a slice of that classic tone but doesn't want to shell out for the much more expensive JC-120.
As you can hear, it definitely captures that classic chorus sound, and it's one of my favourite 'best kept secret' amps of all time.
In this video I'm playing a Fender Telecaster straight into the JC-50 using a Van Damme cable.

My knees used to bend that way--many moons ago.😅

I have a JC-50 that I've had for 25 years. I installed a Weber Blue Dog alnico speaker and it sounds fabulous (I Still Have the stock speaker). I use mine with a Fulltone OCD and I've had people say they thought I was playing a really nice tube amp until they saw the JC. I also set the distortion knob to the minimum setting and use a footswitch to turn it on for a nice boost when I want it. It's also a hell of a lot easier to move around than a JC-120.

The bright switch on JC50 -Very usable on these low end amps

[@zebpedersen]

@daveydxduff Totally man. The 120 is such a classic but the 50 really does get you some of the way there without the hassle of having such a gigantic 2x12

[@gretscher]

Nice. Very Johnny Marr, The Smiths era, sounding.

[@daveydxduff]

Love the sound of a JC. :)

[@J1Z06]

Awesome sound, and nice playing :)

[@agitationstropicales3130]

what's that riff? love it

[@johnnyjerico4087]

I know it only has 1 speaker, but can you get the true stereo chorus from this amp much like the same sound from a JC-120?

[@edwardskim0111]

I play mostly Smiths stuff so I'm looking to get this because of the immaculate clean sound it has. Is it suited for bedroom level playing though?

[@zebpedersen]

Totally fine for bedroom level. I had many evenings in with this amp, and it was never too loud for conversation in the room.

What kind of settings do u have here?
