Hi,

I just bought a Roland JC120 last week. Its very loud! Have good shimmering cleans, as u would a JC, & response well with pedals.

There r some problems, though.
- the vibrato & chorus doesn't work. i think it needs an IC replacement.
- there is a 'thud' sound, whenever U switch it on.
- there r still audible sound, from your guitar, even when the vol knob is turned to '0'.
- it eats the internal 3.15A fuses like peanuts.

Anybody out there who could diagnose this?

Bang,

nak tanya beberapa soalan.
1. JC120 tu tahun biler yaa. kalo tak silap ada 3 version.
2. Abang pasti voltage input tranformer tu adalah 240v sama wall voltage kat malaysia. Maklumlah, jc120 ne origin dia japan.

Biasanya la kalo blow fuse kat solidstate design biasanya ada kaitan dengan tranformer or rectifier. power chip dia biasa tak mampu nak blow tube macam powertube biasa.

Bunyi thud macam hum voltage tu biasanya capasitor besar dah berumur.

- ada 2 chanel, yg mana satu yaaa.
- maybe amp tu pernah rosak dan diorang ada build jumper.
- atau bright cap terlalu besar.
- atau volume pot dah rosak.

Tapi aku mengakui lom pernah seumor idup gua repair ini amp, main pun jarang jarang. Pekara diatas tu adalah dari permahatian gua kepada schematic jc120 sahaja.

Thank
farid

bro, klw bedalah 2 kecik, ringan, gwa dan antar kt lu skali ngan efx gwa, ari2, heheh..

Bendalah ni dapat da di-modekan jd head. dia kasi skali slave box 212. tak check plax umur dia brape tahun.. I beli coz harga dia reasonable & dari segi sound memang lazat. Biasa gwa memang x pandang solid state ni coz gwa collect tube heads. Ingatkan bole buat back-up, tp dia plax kna di back-up kan, heheh..

Kt jb ni, gwa da ada tube-tech dah, tp solid state ni, dia x main plax,. anyway, drp lu nye feedback, gwa rasa mana2 electrician bole checkan dia nye caps atau transformer kot..
