Roland Jazz Chorus JC-40 Compact Stereo Chorus Guitar Amp 2020

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

The Roland Jazz Chorus JC-40 is the modern evolution of one of the most legendary solid-state amplifiers ever built. This 2020 model delivers the iconic clean tone and lush stereo chorus that made the original JC-120 a studio and stage favorite for decades—now in a more portable 40-watt package. With dual 10-inch speakers and true stereo output, the JC-40 provides shimmering cleans, sparkling highs, and incredible depth that remains faithful to the original Jazz Chorus sound.

It features built-in stereo effects including Chorus, Vibrato, Reverb, and Distortion, along with stereo input for keyboards, modelers, or stereo pedal setups. The amp’s clean headroom makes it a perfect platform for pedals, jazz, funk, or ambient music. This example is in excellent condition, fully functional, and shows minimal cosmetic wear.

The Jazz Chorus series, first introduced in 1975, became famous through artists like Andy Summers (The Police), Robert Smith (The Cure), and Metallica for its unmistakable clean shimmer and analog chorus. The JC-40 continues that tradition with modern updates—ideal for players who want legendary tone with manageable size and power.
