Master Effects JC-PRE - Vintage Roland Jazz Chorus JC120 Preamp w/ DI

NOTE this pedal can take 7-10 days to ship. all parts are in stock - just need to assemble.

The JC-PRE is the clean channel preamp section of the classic vintage Roland JC-120 solid state amplifier that has been used on so many albums.

NOTE: THIS PEDAL IS THE CLEAN CHANNEL ONLY. IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY CHORUS EFFECT IN IT.
​

The pedal uses a standard boss-style 9V power supply. There is internal circuitry to generate approximately 30V for enormous amounts of headroom, just like the original amplifiers used.

​

Controls include a 3-band EQ and Volume control.  There is also a Gain toggle switch that prevent guitars with high output pickups from clipping the input stage and a Bright toggle that can cut some of the highs to help tame overly bright guitars.  If you place the pedal in front of an amp, you can flip the gain switch up and turn up the output volume and the pedal has enough output to drive a tube amp into overdrive.

​

The pedal also has a full size XLR balanced DI output that runs in parallel with the instrument level 1/4" output. Check out the demo video by Eric Merrow to hear all of the capabilities of this pedal - not only for guitar but bass as well!
