It's a mono amp so just run it mono, running in "stereo" won't really be stereo and it won't make any difference other than you'd have to buy 2 cables. The available date of this amp keeps being pushed back. This has been going on since at least November. Sucks, but at the moment, it's nearly impossible to find any of these amps online. Only the 100w and 20w models and the cabs are available. Apparently, this won't change anytime soon. It's worth the wait though, I love my JCA50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck800 Posted February 26, 2011 Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 Anybody see the new version of the 20 watt combo?Check it out:http://www.jetcityamplification.com/...112rc-mark-ii/I much prefer this design, it's easier to work on and change tubes etc I would think.How much of an effect will the closed back have?More bass? Anybody know when they will be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverTheEdge Posted March 3, 2011 Members Share Posted March 3, 2011 For anyone interested.... I decided to order the Bitmo Mod for my jca2112rc. I have a thread asking about this mod and didn't really get alot of feedback.... I figured what the he**, it's only about $40.00 or so with shipping so I'll give it a try and see what it does. I'll try and post some pics and maybe video (if i can figure out how) if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played around with it last night with a ruby KT88 and some of the ruby HG preamp tubes. Fun little amp that can actually get surprisingly loud. I'll have hopefully a full review up tomorrow. may not be able to get a video done until next week since I'm going out of town this weekend. the amp is really simple inside though. I think it will be a really cool little amp for modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Turner Posted March 3, 2011 Members Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm still loving my JCA100H Brought the Tele up to practice last night and I forgot how big it sounds through the 100H. I've been trying to start up a cow punk/alt. country band and I was worried the Jet City was too modern sounding to handle it. But after tweaking the normal channel and boosting it with my OCD, I got all the tones I need for that style of music in spades with my Tele. A good amount of bite, snarl, and twang with out sounding harsh or too compressed. Responded to pick attack and playing dynamics so freakin' well. This amp is just so damn versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atrox Posted March 3, 2011 Members Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah. The JCA's really make the single coils shine I find. On my 2203, my Strats and Tele can get a bit ice-picky at normal EQ levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my 2203, my Strats and Tele can get a bit ice-picky at normal EQ levels. Yeah, I had that same issue with my old 2204. I can get the 100H pretty damn close to my old JCM 800's tone, though, but with a more controllable EQ. I had them side by side and could nail the 2204's tones on the 100H's normal channel. The 2204 was out the door pretty soon after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2204 was out the door pretty soon after that I still have both and I use them for different projects, but yeah.. i was able to get very close to the 2203 with my 100H. The Marshall has more bite, where the JCA is smoother, but the general tone was close. I have the metal faceplate as well, but I have a black tolex plate i no longer use. I realize you can get those online though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
