JC120's are, to me, as big a classic as a Twin Reverb or a Marshall stack. They are really the ultimate 'clean' amp, as the twin internal amps are built to power amp specs with distortion figures in point-zero-zero range, as opposed to the typical guitar amp power end that's running 5 to 10% distortion. Coupled with the built-in, analog tremolo and chorus circuits, if you need what it does, there's nothing else like it. With any kind of single-coil axe, for choppy rhythm guitar, they kill.
I've always hoped to snag one to keep around the house as a bass practice amp (trust me, it's delicious), hopefully one from the 80's with JBL's installed from Japan.
That connection from your fingers to your ears, that fast attack (I call it immediacy) is a very hard thing to describe, but it's there when there seems to be a 'right now' sensation as if you were playing an acoustic instrument, and I wonder if it can be measured . . . . .
