1986 Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 120-Watt Solid-State Guitar Combo Amplifier (Made in USA)

A true icon in the world of clean guitar tone, the Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 has been the benchmark for solid-state amplification since its introduction in the 1970s. This 1986 USA-made example represents a sought-after period of production, delivering the signature glassy clarity, massive headroom, and unmistakable stereo chorus that made the model legendary.

Renowned for its ultra-clean platform, the JC-120 has long been a favourite among jazz, pop, and new wave players, as well as pedal users looking for a transparent, high-headroom amp. The dual-channel layout keeps things simple and effective, while the onboard analog chorus and vibrato provide lush, dimensional modulation—widely regarded as one of the most iconic built-in effects ever put into an amplifier. Running through twin 12" speakers in true stereo, the sound is wide, immersive, and instantly recognisable.

With 120-watts of solid-state power, the JC-120 stays clean even at high volumes, making it ideal for stage use and larger rehearsal environments. Built with Roland’s reputation for durability, these amps are known for their reliability and long service life.

This example shows honest vintage wear consistent with its age, including scuffs and marks to the cabinet that add to its road-worn character. Fully functional and sounding excellent. 100V example but includes a step-down transformer for ease of use!
