WTB: Roland JC77


Recommended Posts

Was curious if anyone had an old Roland JC77 that they were looking to unload. I'm doing some stereo experimentation and this guy may do the trick.

Thanks.

My nephew has a JC-90 that he's looking to move. Says the reverb doesn't work, though. I heard it over the holidays and it's a good sounding amp in decent shape, other than the reverb. I'll follow up if you're interested.

Thank you, please let me know what he'd be looking for it and if there are other problems with it.

Hi guys!

Having owned several of both, I can say that the 77 and the 90 are notorious for having the reverb go out.

Even if you fix it, it'll fail again eventually. But don't sweat it - other than that they're

BULLET PROOF and sound great.

watched an old king crimson video over xmas.

surprizing how good belews strat/big muff/JC120 sounded

(you'd think that combo would be a disaster).

I can't tell you how many times I've gotten snide comments before,

and incredulous compliments after. Especially the self-appointed Blues Police.

The fact is they're GREAT amps with tons of headroom, and they're rugged and reliable.

Thanks everyone. After hearing about the reverb issues, I may give it more thought about the 77 or 90's.

reverb-schmeverb. reverb is for pussies.

in college, my tube amp went down before a gig,

so i borrowed my roomies jc-77.

i was surprized that it sounded pretty decent

(ran a scholtz rockman distortion generator for gain sounds).
