The JCA20HV is a 20 watt, single-channel guitar amp head, voiced by

SOLDANO for great vintage rock tones.

The tone controls are interactive; each control will affect the others.

This gives you the flexibility to dial in all the unique and subtle tones

you've been searching for.

JCA20HV also has a presence control that lets you add high-end

sparkle, and a depth switch which boosts the low end. Other features

include a post-EQ solid state effects loop and multiple speaker

impedance outputs.
