Jackman : Don't hesitate

3 years ago

This is a great little tool that does what is says on the tin. It is a perfect home practice head and I am going to test it with the band too. Can they tell the difference? One of the main advantages for this amp is that (I presume) due to the solid state power amp, the volume control is linear. And so you can use it in a quiet setting.

I have two additional points:

1) If you're thinking of using this live and need a volume boost, spend the extra for the Jackman II. Just like a JCM, a boost in front of the amp will only produce more drive. (Unless of course you are running the drive low, but then you have bought the wrong amp!)

2) There is a bottom end thump that isn't affected by the tone control. This seems to be eq'd into the amp, I guess to give you the impression of a 4x12 when you use it. This may or not work for you depending on your guitar and chosen cab/speaker.
