The Roland JC-40 Jazz Chorus delivers Roland's renowned JC clean tone and signature stereo chorus effect in a compact combo amp with evolved features for the modern guitarist. Like the flagship JC-120 it's based on, the JC-40 offers a classic stereo clean sound that's a perfect palette for tone shaping with stompbox effects.
A stereo input lets you take full advantage of stereo gear — stereo effects pedals, guitar synths, amp modeling units, and multi-effects all come through in true stereo rather than being collapsed down to mono. Two 10-inch speakers and 40 watts of stereo power spread that sound out wide, and a stereo effects loop keeps your outboard processing in stereo too.
Onboard, you get the signature Dimensional Space Chorus effect along with vibrato, distortion, and reverb, all newly evolved with updated sounds for today's playing styles. Footswitch jacks for chorus/vibrato, reverb, and distortion let you kick effects in and out mid-song, while stereo line outs and a stereo headphone jack cover recording and quiet practice.
