Presumably the 60 and 77 would be more giggable.

...shows more of its range, including a bit of the cleaner, lower gain stuff which amps like this have (for me at least) struggled with.
It's my best ever low-volume practice amp, it's the amp I take to rowdy pub gigs, but it's also now my amp of choice for bigger/louder stages when I want to sound my best. The price is absolutely laughable for what you get.

I will tell you a Roland JC40 will hold up in a band and a ska or reggae band no problem. Its like my Fender Blue jr in terms os the volume knob. You turn the volume not even a quarter and your good to go with a band. My issue is having it loud with overdrive. Im not pushing tubes anymore and so my pedals are maxxed and dont sound well. To much high end and shrill at high volumes. At low volumes my overdrive pedals sound great. Thinking of swapping one or both speakers.
No - I haven't. I've just replaced the values in the Blues Deluxe and haven't taken the plunge yet
You have a JC40?
I play clean and use an exotic EP booster for volume boost then an Ibanez tube screamer for a bit of crunch for solos. Your saying they behave notably differently when the JC40?
Yes and no.
so a boost and overdrive work similar when comparing it to my fender blues jr. Its a low watt amp and when pushed the tubes compress the overdrive pedal and also create there own overdrive effect. The two together is really nice.
So with the JC40 its 40 watts and can be pushed and my overdrive pedals sound really good at low volume. But at high volume the highs are spikey and theres a shril around the chords I play. So it sounds good to me at low volumes but has to much high end at high volumes. I know its new and the speakers can still be broken in but Im looking into possibly swapping the speakers out with some that tame the end.
Im looking at swapping the speakers cause this fixed the same problem in my blues Jr. I swapped the lightning bolt with a Eminence Allesandro GA SC64. Tightened the lows and moothed out the high end.
Appreciate the input.
Have you used it live? I don't use a monitor when I gig so have to be able to hear the amp. There are four horns in the band as well as the usual bass, keys, drums and vox.
Whats your band called?
Your band have anything online?
