Jet City amps offer us, tube enthusiasts, a chance to own some creamy tones at affordable prices. In fact, I can't recall any JCA models going for more than $750; the flagship JCA 100H (100W) model shown here is $650... The alluring price tags aside, what can you expect from Jet City amps? Please look elsewhere if you are thinking of the super intense Soldano SLO 100 even if there is a Soldano label there on the control panel. It's a different tonal palette, this one- think British, think lots of EL power tube push but strangely, the JCA 100H has no ELs in there. In fact, it's a quartet of 6L6s. This amp will benefit us players who love digging deep across our fretboards while enjoying some power tube cream; speed is optional. In terms of intensity, the JCA 100H would require some pedal re-inforcements of you are treading the metal territory. So there you have it, some serious tube tones for the taking at very reasonable prices.
PS: Thanks to Burn & Davis GMC for giving me the chance to try the JC amps- all the amps, in fact :-)
