Members bumpdacutz Posted February 16, 2013 Members Share Posted February 16, 2013 I just bought a Vintage Roland JC-120 and I love how it sounds, the only thing is I really wish it had an effects loop. I like to use the chorus on the amp but I wish I could put it in a signal path before my delay and reverb pedals. Is there a way to install one without messing up the electronics, or another way to put the chorused signal into my pedals before it goes to the speaker?

Members Adinfinitum i Posted February 19, 2013 Members Share Posted February 19, 2013 Older JC-120s don't have an FX loop, but I believe newer ones do have the added FX loop. My JC-55 doesn't have one and, like you, would love to have delay in the loop. However, since I mostly play clean arpeggios with the JC, I can get away with running the delay in front of the amp. It shouldn't be a big deal to mod the amp to add a post-preamp fx loop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be farily invasive to add a stereo loop to the solid-state, PCB-based JC-120...you would be looking at building a buffer daughter board, routing power supply to it, etc.It is needs to be stereo because the complication comes form the stereo setup and the stereo chorus. The way the JC-120/CE-1 stereo chorus works is a wet/dry setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
