The Avatar of Clean — Now in Small

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.

Iconic JC cleans, great-sounding onboard effects

Since its introduction in 1975, the Roland JC-120 has made its mark on countless recordings as the king of clean guitar tone. Most of the guitarists here at Sweetwater have used one at one time or another. The baby of the Jazz Chorus family, the JC-22, delivers that same iconic tone in a compact, ultra-portable package that weighs just a tad over 26 pounds. The JC-22 employs two independent power amps feeding custom-designed speakers and is fitted with Roland's trademark Dimensional Space Chorus effect for immersive, room-filling 3-dimensional sound. Also onboard is a rich-sounding true-stereo reverb for lush, expansive ambience.

Roland JC-22 Jazz Chorus Guitar Combo Amp Features:

  • Iconic Roland JC clean tone in an ultra-compact combo amp
  • Stereo 30W guitar amp with two custom-designed 6.5" speakers
  • Stereo input for true stereo operation with modelers and stereo effects pedals
  • Roland's trademark Dimensional Space Chorus for immersive 3-D stereo sound
  • High-quality reverb effect for lush, expansive ambience
  • Footswitch jacks for turning chorus and reverb effects on/off
  • Stereo FX loop is switchable from series to parallel

Very happy with my purchase

I bought this amp back in December 2023, and after 3 months of really putting it through the paces, I have become a devoted Roland enthusiast. This amp is perfect for recording, practicing, and taking to small jams with friends. It handles a variety of effects pedals flawlessly; the onboard reverb and chorus are legendary, and the construction is solid. I highly recommend this amp to apartment guitar players, casual jammers, and anyone seeking a legendary clean tone. It's so good that I'm even considering selling my EVH 5150 combo to buy a JC-40.

And now, the rest of the story!

I already wrote a nice review about this wonderful amplifier. Now the backstory, and why Sweetwater THE best. I saw there was a demo model available and I just had to have it. It arrived quick as always, I unboxed it, read the instructions, zeroed the knobs as directed, switched it on, and it was whisper quiet. For about two minutes! Then it buzzed like an electric razor! I didn't even get upset, at all. I emailed Richard Granger (cheers mate),shortly afterward I got a reply asking me to video the unit so he could hear the noise. He then sent that video to tech support and they sent it to Roland . Everyone was in agreement,it was bad. I told them I would gladly pay the difference for a brand new one. Never crossed their mind! No sir, Mike we're shipping you a new one! Thanks again for all of your caring support team! You are THE BEST

Great sound, little amp!

This little amp has been on one of my wishlists for a while now. I should have pulled the trigger on this one a long time ago. With the chorus turned way up, speed @9-10 o'clock position and and the reverb cranked up the sound is wonderful! It's all I hoped it would be. Very well made, as all Roland products I've have are! And for thirty watts ,it can get loud! And when you stop playing, the amp is whisper quiet. If you don't already have a JC in your collection ,it's time you did. Treat yourself!

Fantastic

It just sounds great

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
