Members jet city amps Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 Berklee - yes, "effin bright caps intact", yes, also easily "clippable". Thinking about the "Warren Haynes mod"? Dave - yes, Normal channel is same circuit as SLO Normal channel just as Overdrive channel circuit is the same. Yes, "preset" to crunch. You guys know your Soldanos! By the way, I really really like the "Normal" channel in our JCA100H. Yarbicus - sorry to let you down, but, there's no chance Pico will be in stores by Christmas. I wish it would, but I just can't get it done by then. JCA20H will be though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love my Yamaha T100C so anything that says "designed by Mike Soldano" on it is OK with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jet city amps Posted November 5, 2009 Members Share Posted November 5, 2009 yo, morning. @Yarb - just to be clear, Pico is our first non-Soldano design. It was designed by THD electronics as a "Pico" version of his Bi- and Uni-Valve series. SeeYou - JCA20H, 12S, JCA2112RC will be in stores for xmas in the USA, plus the 24S, 48S and JCA100H will be in Europe for xmas. Duncan - yes, we have a rep in Eastern Canada now setting up dealers. I don't know about the West presently. Where are you? Guitup - thanks for the tip - I will check, really need some help in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jet city amps Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 question for the dudes here: do you NEED a 50 watt head? The difference in cost of parts is small, and the perceived volume difference is also small. but IF we offered a 50 watt head, what if it was only 1 channel to differentiate it further from the 100 watter? thanks.

D. Americans prefer it big - while in europe a 50 Watter seems to have more chances - just from my limited experience. If you want to differentiate: use the Decatone as a father May I ask you a favour? I would like to buy one of the 20Hs, but I would need to mod it for my needs though (loop, clean channel) - do you have a pic for me of the internals? Not close - I just need to have a look if I can add a tube socket and such things. So if the PCB is hooked to the front (as in Hotrods) and the powertube sockets are chassis-mounted I could add some goodies, you know. If thats the case - good. If the PCB board is going thru 90% of the chassis . . . bad (for me). Thanks, Olaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the # of tubes - it is the higher plate voltage (>10% in Marshalls f.i.) and the bigger output xformer. Both can be easily integrated into a 50s though - Mojave ships their 50s with a 100s OT.Soldano Hotrod 50s have a similar plate voltage compared to 100s though (around 480V-490V).I'm getting too technical, sorry.

Members jet city amps Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 thanks for the feedback, gents. it sounds like we are on the right direction. if I can get a wide enough price gap between the 50 and 100, it could be worthwhile, and maybe not a high priority. Olaf - please email me at doug@jetcityamplification.com and I will return a couple pics of the insides of JCA20H. Yesterday Mike and I were talking about effects loops and if players would want that at only 20 watts. Clearly, Olaf does, but, is that a high demand feature? Aren't stompboxes sufficient at this level? BTW, Olaf - 20H is only one channel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX loops are a deal breaker for me, unless i can get a amp modded for a loop. I gotta have my Delays in a loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
