Great in depth review of the JC40! I love my JC40! I usually use mine with my fender champion 100 and a boss dimension c run in stereo and I get a great dimensional sound! I've had a JC77 and JC120 in the past also had a red knob fender ultra chorus and a fender ultimate chorus, the JC40 is my favorite so far, I love the stereo input in the front, when I'm not using both my amps together it's so easy to just run my pedals in stereo through the JC40. Every stereo chorus amp I've ever owned has had a little hiss, I think it's just a stereo thing. The JC40 has less hiss than any stereo amp I've ever owned. Great review! Thanks for sharing!

@@brochg You can also plug straight into the R input and it will only use one of the 10"s at 20w. Doing that also by default turns the chorus into a true vibrato. I don't always need or want that air-mixed chorus sound anyway. My dirt pedals sound better this way too. Even keeping on the chorus (now true vibrato) at low rate and depth for some reason made my dirt pedal a little less fizzy sounding. I've also tried running different overdrive/distorion paths to each input and had a lot of fun blending tones. Very versatile amp. Truly a knob turner's delight. You HAVE to figure out how to really use the tone control on your guitar with these amps. Regarding the JC-22, I haven't tried one, but i'm a little skeptical of a speaker smaller than 8". That would limit it for just practicing. Whereas, IMO the JC-40 sounds perfectly great, even at 1 on the volume.

Thanks my friend, I appreciate your comment and that you liked that particular piece of music. That sound is achieved using a Volume Pedal, then a Boss VB2W, then Delay and Reverb, in the case of this video were all boss pedals. The game changing tone is the vibrato from the Waza vb2w. If you check my older videos, you will find a "vibrato in depth" of the JC40. Was one of my first videos but maybe the best for the music I played.

Loved the sound of it and got it. so, then i thought, i woul get another one and run stereo. Two problems, when you tap the stereo loop, it defeats the reverb and chorus. Sooo, got a good aby wich i been wanting awhile anyway. When i got it, i ran the 88 p chorus like you have, and a blackstar 10 watt tube amp with an ext cab. SONIC BLISS!!! but when i ran the 96 chorus with the 88, i was underwhelmed. they are voiced very different to be the same amp.

@@TheSpaceGuitar senz’altro, mi iscrivo volentieri. Sì sicuramente il Blues Driver a settaggi estremi può assomigliare a un fuzz, anche se ha il controllo del tono che rende l’interazione con l’ampli più agevole. Magari considera di settare l’ampli non soltanto come clean platform ma anche con un suono leggermente saturo, anche perché la maggior parte dei pedali di distorsione lavorano meglio su ampli non proprio pulitissimi.
