I'm waiting for their fully tricked out midi 3 channel beast.

Nice.

I wonder who the guitar legend who asked for it is?

Joe Perry according to this;

As I play guitar so rarely these days I'm quite tempted to sell my wonderful but expensive Badger 30 and get something like this.

Especially if it can do loud and clean, could be a great pedal platform.

I can't escape the thought that one of these - possibly with a 12AT7 in V1 to clean it up a bit more - and a Bogner Red pedal would be especially awesome.

So what's the story with the FX loop on these?

It's after the master volume - which is eminently more sensible. Not sure what the deal is with the signal strength, though; I'd imagine it's still line level.

Joe Perry according to this;

can't get that to work (probably just me)but there is an interview online with one of the guys from Jet City who says it was Joe Perry, so not quite sure the reason for the mystery. Although it says Joe didn't ask for the FX loop

I think the loop was a request from every single JCA20H owner

Not me, I hate them!

I wonder how many people want them on an amp but don't use them or don't use them to any advantage or don't really understand what they are for but still say they want one anyway cause it is one of those things that gets mentioned by the guitar mags? No one on here, obviously...
:P

Probably not that high since it will also be after the tone stack, and there's a large level drop through that. It might be hotter than guitar level, but a lot of pedals will take that anyway.

Wow is Damien Hirst's art not selling as well as it used to?

Looks 10 times better like that, hmmm....

dindude

Well my finger slipped and I ordered one so I'll let you know how I get on..........

MattG

I'm worried i may accidentally buy one to have a dual amp setup with my AST2

on the bright side i could probably sell enough stuff off to pay for it xD

dindude

Hhhmmmm, looks like another NAD ruined by Parcelfarce.

Attempted delivery today, took back to depot, then recorded as damaged and going back to supplier!

Didn't even leave a calling card. Poo.

not_the_dj

They use parcelforce....eek.

Stevepage

I had the 20 watt combo a couple of years back. Great sounding amp and now I see even cheaper. Bargain.

BigBearKris

Oh, such a shame with that parcel force I'd like to order one, but don't like that fact.

digitalscream

Just FYI...I ordered a JCA22H as a replacement for the Marshall 20/20 I just sold (I need a spare amp, otherwise I wouldn't be spending money at the mo...). Just had a call from Simon @ Jet City UK apologising for the delay, but they apparently test all amps on the bench before sending them out and this one had a valve fault so delivery's going to be put back by a day.

Two things struck me about this...

1 - Not many companies would bother to let you know

2 - Valves aren't covered under their warranty, so they could quite easily have just shipped the amp and let it be my problem while still being in the clear

I'm rather happy with that, actually.
