      dafxtone and moth butt have tendencies that they shouldn’t feel ashamed of, but they are, and they are worried for some reason that listening to a talented melodic player like Johnny Marr will bring these feelings to the forefront. Guys, it’s okay, we will accept you for who you are.

    This comparison comes down to the classic tube vs SS amp. There has been an amazing improvement with SS since 1975 and it all comes down to personal taste. Fender is a bit warmer but Roland is more present. I tend to lean towards Roland, personally.

    I'm a big fan of both amps,, I'd probably favor the Roland ,, but,, it would be perfect to run them both together ,a full warm yet very articulate sound, kick in the chorus on the JC and the reverb on the Fender and you'd a beautiful lush 3-D tone

  • @TrentonF505

    When guitars are put into the mix a lot of the lows are cut out. The warmth of the Fender sounds nice, but the mids and highs of the Roland have more character which is more important imho.

  • @elka-nato
    @elka-nato 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Fender makes a nice and rich bell-like tone when using neck pickup, because of the scooped-mids tone.
    Roland sounds "flat", but wide-open and sparkly in comparison. Also it has better mids (because of the "flat" response).
    Although I love the Fender tone, I'd buy the Roland if I need to choose: it just sounds good, it has no tube-related issues (which can be a real PITA) and it's so versatile. In fact, you can replicate the Fender tone on the Roland (with some amp-modelling pedal), but you can't do the opposite. You can even plug-in some acoustic or synths on it, and they'll sound good!

  • @stephenpepper1790
    @stephenpepper1790 5 ปีที่แล้ว +90

    Roland is flat sounding when the player is flat sounding or has little soul behind the notes. The Roland enhances what is already there, but it doesn't really add its own character. The Roland can be exposing to thin and sterile playing, but with great expression from the player, these amps are some of the most inspiring sounds that ive heard.

    • @Judesmood118
      @Judesmood118 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It's got a peak in its frequency response that the Fender doesn't have, making your comment so true. That extra brightness means more clarity, and so if you're not really playing in tune, or confidently, it will be that much more apparent. The Fender is so much more mellow. But I love the overtones you get with the JC when using the chorus... reminds me of a really pronounced 'squillo' from a classical singer... it really SINGS!

    For slow soft melodic stuff hands down I prefer the jc 120.. the stereo chorus is absolutely beautiful. I've had an 80's jc 120 and I'm getting another again! I currently have a twin 65 reissue and it's just as loud as the roland.. and the reissue sounds great playing slow melodic stuff also but with pedals like the bigsky strymon n others ect ect.. the stereo chorus from the jc 120 just does it for me. Both amps are kings! Everyone should own both.

      Nope, respectfully disagree, Twin sounds completely different than a deluxe, However I am partial to a 68’ Deluxe, completely different animal, love it’s break up, and dynamic, that’s where it shines, just one speaker for a very tight precise sound. I’ve compared it to a twin, love the twin clean headroom, but the 68’ Deluxe for me, mic it up, it’s beautiful it jams.

    I just got the jc40 today and holy hell am I impressed. Let me just say I don’t for a second believe it to be overrated. If anything it’s underrated because of the cost. Dial that sucker in properly and it is full, bassy and bright at the same time. I’ve played through countless amps to test their clean and breakup and the jc just feels like a dream come true. Such warm and tasty clean and from a solid state no less. I love the fender as well and have a fender amp in my arsenal. But I think you can easily dial the Roland in to get that fender clean. And then there’s the natural, spacey chorus. I’m still beside myself.

WHat would be the best OD or dist. pedals to use with it, I usually play it totally clean with no pedals but want to at least be able to get a cool dist sound sometimes.. The dist in the amp is terrible, unusable.. So what are the best OD an dist pedals to use with it? What do you think of JC 77?

    @mattg082 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a Roland JC77 and while I love it…It doesn’t sound as good with overdrive and fuzz for me. I end up with a boxy tone with no sparkle. I get better results using a tech 21 blonde pedal running DI at home. It’s made me want to grab a fender for the fact it can take my OD and other pedals much better…but a lot of the hood ones are 15-22 watts it seems. Honestly thinking of using the fender for recording at lower volumes and rehearsal stuff. Then maybe live of no hood mic setup…run both amps for what they are. I love the Roland but it just doesn’t like my Jekyl Hyde OD pedal or my Fuzz. But when it’s clean and has clean fx it sounds great!
    Just with Overdrive type pedals the JC has a boxy tone…vs the sparkle of a Fender imo. I’m looking at a few models of Fender amps from Hot Rod to Princeton and deluxe. Nothing too loud, but good enough to play at home with an attenuator in the patch if needed.

      Estoy de acuerdo en que es una excelente comparación y en mi humilde opinión, el Fender suena mejor, quizás porque no soy muy fan del efecto chorus. Hubiese sido interesante colocarle el Tumnus al JC con algo de OD y quizás quede a la par del Fender. Sin embargo ambos amplificadores tienen su área y son superiores a muchos otros

    Glad you did this vid. Are you able to do a comp between JC and the Roland Cube? Pretty please? I’m choosing between the two. The cube has similar settings to the JC.

    • @AlbertoMartinezDelRio
      @AlbertoMartinezDelRio  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sorry but I do not have the Cube available right now ... If you do not need all the power of the JC, the Cube has a great sound, but without different ... The chorus effect of the JC is unique in its class. On the other hand, the Cube is closed from behind and only has one speaker ... On my channel you have some videos with the Cube. A welcome health!

      If you have the resources, better to get the Jazz course. It comes in many different forms; JC 22, JC 40, JC 120 by doing this you can get yourself and amp modeler pedalboard and get any variety of sounds you'd ever want. Or a simple tube Pedal in front would do the trick as well. The reason why it's a better choice is simple, the core tone starts off unaffected pure & pristine. When you start off with something good what you build upon it comes out excellent. Go to guitar store, put any decent amp modeler in front of that JC, and you'll find out the tone quality is outstanding it's like having multiple tube amps and not sacrificing a good clean Jazz tone.

      @@AlbertoMartinezDelRio I have the cube 60, I like it a lot. But I'd much rather have a jazz chorus. The cleans are not as good as the Jazz chorus, and the amp models, although good, are not as good as you can get with a pedalboard, like my Headrush Gigboard.

      @@therealtech833 Would have to disagree man. I sold my JC cos it was flat with no compression. Starting going tube. Much better cleans like the Fender above. Bought 2 x 80 xl cubes to play in real stereo. Still much lighter than the JC 120’s and much better cleans. New transistor technology and much better clean sound.

    Is it just me or the JC sounded like there is compression going on? Not sure if my ears are making things up but I think the Fender was representing better the expression levels. And I'm not saying that because I prefer Fender or tube amps. JC was my favourite before the listening...

      My JC120 used to hiss quite intensely. I bought it used with some issues and I wasted some money on an inept repair shop. Eventually my electronic skills caught up with the Roland and I decided to repair it myself. I suspected the clean channel Bass pot and effects channel Mid pot were both faulty. I removed, tested (they both passed), and re-soldered them to their boards and presto the Amp works correctly now with much reduced hiss. I see now there is simple test for the channel EQ sections. Amp channel output should be almost zero if you simultaneously roll the treble, mid, and bass pots down to minimum. One can also infer that my pots had a bad solder joint on at least one leg of each of the pots I serviced.
