The JC-22 Jazz Chorus delivers Roland's signature JC tone in an ultra-compact 30-watt stereo guitar combo amp. In addition to classic Jazz Chorus cleans, the JC-22 includes the famous Dimensional Space Chorus effect. With 30 watts of power and two custom-designed 6-1/2" speakers, the JC-22 is perfect for home practice as well as for low-volume rehearsals or gigs. The JC-22 features front-panel stereo inputs, true stereo reverb, and a stereo effects loop (switchable from series to parallel) for integrating external effects processors. The effects loop also make the JC-22 ideal for use with amp modelers, multi-effects, and even synthesizers. Line out jacks allow direct connection to a PA system or studio audio interface and a headphone jack supports silent practice. Optional footswitches can be used to turn the JC-22's chorus and reverb effects on and off.
