The classic "JC" sound, in its 30th year!
In 1975, Roland welcomed the arrival of the first JC-120. A revolution in guitar amplifier technology, the JC-120 Jazz Chorus looked and sounded like no other amp. Thirty years later, the JC-120 remains in high demand by guitarists around the world. Unchanged from its original specification, the JC had attained legendary status by amp connoisseurs the world over. Now this rich heritage can be found in Roland's full line of guitar and bass amplifiers - from the CUBE- to the AC- and D-Bass series.

World-famous tones plus built-in reverb and vibrato
Roland's JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier is legendary for its clean, sparkling sound and true-stereo swirling chorus. The JC-120's full-range output is animated and rich, and famous for filling a room with a powerful yet pleasing sound. Built-in reverb and vibrato with dedicated front-panel controls round out the JC-120's expressive, tone-shaping palette.

Flexible hands-on control
The JC-120 Jazz Chorus' 12 front-panel knobs, plus dedicated Bright switch, make it easy to craft a sound on the spot. No matter the musical style, the JC-120 has the flexibility and power to deliver the tone you need.

Stereo chorus from two 12" speakers
Two high-performance 12" speakers, each driven by its own 60W amplifier, are at the heart of the JC-120 Jazz Chorus' classic chorus sound. The result is soft, lush, and legendary!

Built for the long haul!
There's no mistaking the unique look and heavy-duty construction of the JC-120. Outlined with oversized, industrial-grade studs, and with top-quality casters,
hard-fiber edge protectors, and high-impact corner brackets, the JC-120 Jazz Chorus is built to stand the test of time.


Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus Amplifier Features:
  • The classic and most popular "JC" since 1975
  • 60W + 60W (RMS)/12" x 2 speakers
  • Distinctive "JC" stereo chorus

I used to own a JC-120 back in the 1980s that was commondeered by my son when he started playing guitar in the 1990s, never to be seen again. So, recently, while reforming a band with several great m... read more [+]usicians I had the pleasure of playing with in the past, I realized that I needed a smaller and more portable, yet powerful, amp for gigging in smaller venues (my Marshall 1/2 stack is just too big and cumbersome to use in smaller venues), I immediately looked for this amp. I have to say Roland has really improved the quality of this amplifier since the 1980s! I'd give it 10 stars if I could! close [-]

I have owned a JC-120 since 1987. This amp will positively give you the best clean tone that you have ever heard. The on-board chorus/tremolo and reverb are phenomenal and enhance the sound.

Sweetwater Advice

Robert Williams
Not having a JC-120 is like missing a food group, its solid state clean sound is that fundamental. It's a long standing workhorse useful with bass and guitar synth as well as electric guitar. The chorus and vibrato effects are classics heard on countless recordings.
