You are viewing a JCA Circuits "Vibe" Amplifier in Black Carbon Fiber w/1X8 Jupiter 8SC Speaker. This amplifier has remained in my personal collection since it was created in the 2020's. It's the actual amplifier reviewed by Riverhorse in the July-August 2023 Tone Quest Report. It also has the distinction of being the very last JCA Circuits amplifier ever built.


Controls: Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed, Intensity, 4 Ohm Output Jack, Footswitch


All electrical, mechanical, and audio functions operate properly. There is some cosmetic wear as well as some occasional dust present.


I am in the process of retirement and feel that perhaps it's time to let things go.

Reviews & Testimonials


“This is the amp that would make Hendrix want to trade in his Marshalls!” Mick Mc Monagle


“This strikes us as an unreal studio amp, or something that would be amazing for around home sitting right in front of it and pouring your heart out to after midnight. What a perfect little amp that can do it all. Hot damn…” Tone Quest Report


“Dude, it’s so quiet. And when you hit that bright switch, it sounded like a fucking HiWatt!” Mike Norton/Retrolinear


“Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi would probably love to have something like this in their green room!” Jim Steager


“Do you know what’s wrong with this amplifier? Absolutely nothing!” Tom Volpicelli/The Mastering House


For life, is all about the sweet spot, isn’t it? You know it when you find it. The amp has a beautiful and absolutely WIDE GLIDE, pure Fender tone, all while cranking out far more clean headroom than we thought possible from a small amp, and the use of the Jupiter ceramic 8-inch speaker was superb. It was definitively surprising how much sweet and stout low end each note has, and the clarity of the top and mids are also pristine.” Tone Quest Report


“Once we cranked it past about 8 it really sang, but still, maintained a gorgeous fidelity of signal with zero graininess or harsh frequencies. It loved Strats, Les Pauls, and the Junior, and we even put a Gibson J-200 through it to hear it acoustically. This amp is all about the pristine and stunning clean tones, and what you do from there is up to each player.” Tone Quest Report


“JCA Circuits Vibe, I just played it yesterday. It is astounding.” John Durso


“…I’ve had the amplifier (Vibe) since April. It’s great…” Phil Feser via email
