Roland JC-120 Plugin

Full Description

Timeless clean tones in your DAW

The Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus is a legendary solid-state guitar amplifier renowned for its pristine clean tone and signature stereo chorus effect. First introduced in 1975 and still in production, it’s become a staple for musicians across genres ranging from jazz and pop to rock and even metal. Meticulously modelled after the original hardware, the Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus Software Effect delivers the same ultra-clean tone and evocative chorus, enhanced with modern features like selectable stereo modes, tempo sync, and advanced speaker simulation with detailed mic and room ambience controls.

Perfectly modelled tone

The Roland JC-120’s stereo solid-state design makes it stand out from traditional valve amps. Known for its clean headroom and articulate response, it reproduces every nuance of your playing without breaking up, even at higher levels. This quality has made it a go-to for producers and performers who value detail and consistency. The plugin version faithfully recreates this sonic clarity, giving you that same responsive, full-range tone directly in your DAW.

The ultimate digital pedal platform

Thanks to its clean and uncoloured sound, the JC-120 has long been trusted by pedal users. The plugin version keeps that transparency, making it easy to use with any pedalboard setup. Run your favourite delays, reverbs, or modulation effects into the JC-120 Plugin for a clean, unaffected foundation that allows each effect to stand out. It’s ideal for capturing a polished signal while maintaining the character of your external gear.

Lush stereo chorus

One of the JC-120’s standout features is its Dimensional Space Chorus. This stereo effect adds rich movement and width to any signal. The plugin recreates this chorus effect in full detail, including the original’s unique modulation characteristics. It can also be tempo-synced to your DAW, giving you precise control over its rhythm and timing for even greater production flexibility.

More than a guitar amp

While the JC-120 is iconic for guitar, its full-range sound and stereo spread also make it suitable for other sources. Use the plugin on synths, drum loops, electric pianos, or even vocals to add dimension and character. Its wide frequency response and clean signal path let you enhance non-guitar elements without muddiness, making it a useful tool across your entire mix.

Two versatile channels

The plugin version recreates the JC-120’s two-channel setup, giving you more flexibility in how you route and process sound. Use one channel for clean tone and the other for effects, or process different instruments through each for quick A/B comparisons. You can also create parallel effects chains or explore stereo layering techniques using the two inputs, all within your DAW environment.

Modern features to define your sound

New features make the JC-120 Plugin a flexible production tool. You can now choose from different stereo modes to shape how the sound spreads across the stereo field. The chorus effect can be synced to your track’s tempo for consistent timing. Plus, with the advanced speaker simulation, you get full control over mic type, position, and room ambience, making it easier to dial in the right sound for any session.
