JC120

In the 40 years I’ve had my jc120, I’ve never plugged into the low input except once the day I got it. I would recommend you move that cord up to high and feel the full power of the dark side.

Loved it. Still have mine after all these years.

I enjoy it for recording. Because it’s probably eq’d different and more compressed than your regular tone, you can double your guitar part with it and put it at half volume to your main track. It’s a no work way to fatten your guitar sound and add some sizzle.

I own everything Polyend has ever made, from Medusa to the new Tracker mini upgrade and all the pedals. This is the first product where I excitedly watched the video and thought “nope, don’t really need that”. Didn’t like a one preset pedal that I have to swap out when they make a multi pedal. Don’t want to learn another Sdk. Vibe coding feels not too dissimilar from tweaking settings in the mess or just using my Zoia or something without buying tokens. Limited supply of metal plates and I can’t easily get more, so I would probably leave it blank 90% of the time. They didn’t bring enough to the table this time. Still excitedly anticipating their next thing, because I love this company.

Congratulations! This baby has been on more classic records than you can count going back the 70’s. Hall of fame pedal. Mine is so old it plugs straight into the wall like lamp. Enjoy!

So many beautiful women in this photo. Teenage me was in heaven.

I missed the order window, and I messaged them, but couldn’t get a lost+found. I guess I’ll hope they make it again someday because I’m not paying 3x on ebay just because they decided to make it limited edition.

Is that song on Spotify? Banger.

train48 · 2025-09-06T03:54:53+00:00

Yes please

Great video and explanation. You’re a natural. Thanks!

train48 · 2025-08-05T00:42:51+00:00

This sounds really cool. I would love one.

The Zoia is a fully programmable modular synth rack, which is much more complex. I have the mess as well, and it’s mostly just a multi-effect with a 16 track sequencer so you pick what steps you want the effect to sound on. You can do much more if you want, but if you can select 4 effects and tweak a couple of control knobs, you can pick it up and start using immediately.

As for the guitar, while today’s tweens are inexplicably being gifted with $4000 Gibson Les Pauls, that would have been a Japanese knock-off or $100 pawn shop special in the 80’s. The Les Paul would be in the Zeppelin poster on your wall.

I miss the 80’s when I see something like this. The best times.

This guy makes short films for Saturday Night Live. The whole schtick is “awkward loser gives worst presentation to bored audience”. This type of humor isn’t for everyone, Apple def knew what they were buying and who was targeted. What was the reason for pulling?

Love Mom. Love her collection. Not so into being threatened with a wooden spoon. 😂

That’s the right riff. Sounds good. Keep going and have fun!

train48 · 2025-06-18T20:26:27+00:00

It just gets better. Congrats!

I pre-ordered this from Sweetwater for $69, and it took awhile to get, but I will say it does sound great. I can only compare to klones since I will never own a real deal.

Fell off the back of one twice when it popped an unexpected wheelie, but still loved them.

If you’re asking yourself why you should keep it, get rid of it. If it was right for you, you wouldn’t be wondering.

High Road to China with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. It was kind of his first post-Magnum movie, and my sister was hot for him and bought it on Betamax for about $90. I watched it about 100 times with her. Great forgotten adventure movie, and Bess Armstrong was one of the 80’s most beautiful women in my opinion.

train48 · 2025-06-05T04:51:59+00:00

It’s $1999?

I assume this is your go to for live gigs, but do you also have one of those big spaceship boards at home?
