Can't wait to try a combo!
In the meantime, I continue looking for more news nuggets on Jet City.

DOUG, on your next trip to the Fret, could you elaborate on the Pico w/THD?
This is a fantastic amp. I spent a long while with the 20 watt Jet City "stack" and a road worn Tele the other day. It's a great amp for everything from blues to hard rock.

Greets, Radio - Sean Cass told me about your question and reminded me to get over here.
Andy Marshall (owner of THD) and I have been friends for several years now, and have been wanting to do a project together. So when I told him about Jet City, he had the idea to contribute the PicoValve - it's 5 watts, with a 1/2 power switch, and full EQ. It also features Andy's cool "swappable power tubes" topology, which allows the player to use almost any octal power tube without changing the bias or any other settings. It will be playable at NAMM, and available on the street probably March.
Wow, that sounds sweet. Thanks for getting back to us, Doug. It's good to see the JCA line really taking off. Are you able to keep up with the demand so far?Originally Posted by Jet City

A good amph deserves a good beer!

(Picked it up on Saturday and it is awesome!)
Congratulations!
Glad to see someone else got their hands on one. You've got the right axe paired up with it also, IMO. LP's are the perfect match for rockin' on that baby.
Doesn't it have just the greatest cranked sound, not just for the price, but for any single channel amph? Gets loud for 20w, too.

Thanks! It sounds very good. The cleans are nice and crisp; and when you hit the gain you can really feel it. What I'm most happy about is that it sounds good at low volumes so I won't bother my neighbours (well not as much as normal). :-)Originally Posted by oldguy
Thanks! I got it from the Guitar Center in Tukwila, WA. They only had the floor unit so I took it. GC claimed they only had it on the floor about a week and there are no dings. I'm actually glad I got the floor unit because I ended up paying no taxes when bringing back to Canada.Originally Posted by FrankenFretter
Also, according the the GC sales guy there were at least one floor unit at all the stores in the Seattle area.
Cheers,

Noooooo!!Originally Posted by bcdon
That's more than a bit too close-by for my pocketbook.
The description that it goes so well with a LP is almost too much to take.
....must resist.
Tukwila, that is about where I used to buy waterskis. Didn't know there was a GC in the neighborhood.

It's in that huge Westfield mall complex (diagonally across from Target).Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw
The way the rain is coming down up here I might have to go back and find that waterski store.

Well, that's just IMHO. See if you agree, then you'll know whether it's worth the drive to check one out (gas being expensive and all....).Originally Posted by NWBasser

Oh, nice playing!Originally Posted by oldguy
Similar riffy style to what I typically play when I'm left to my own devices and a similar tone too. Yeah, I think the LP and that amph are a winner combo.
The Kirkland GC is about 5 minutes from my house, so gasoline is no concern to go try one out. It's the GAS that I worry about!
Jason, I think you deserve to buy yourself a Christmas gift. I especially endorse this idea, because it benefits me. You can bring it with you when you come down to visit. Make sure and get a 2x12 cab to go with it. None of that wimpy 1x12 stuff for you, He-Man. Now that I think about it, it would probably be best if you got the 4x12 and stored it with me, so as to avoid any problems with it taking up too much room, and/or causing spousal friction. No worries, it will be well cared for, and quite safe. I never, ever turn my amphs above 11.Originally Posted by NWBasser

Umm yeah. How about an 8x10 Ampeg fridge in your attic?!Originally Posted by FrankenFretter
With my work hours reduced, it's pretty unlikely that I'll be getting any more gear for awhile. IF I ever did, it would have to be the combo.
I could go over there and give you a report on one if they have any..
I'm not trying to stoke any GAS fires.. but this amph is killer.
You have to at least give it a try, you'll be amazed at its tone.
Agreed. Back when I said I was ready to walk out of the store w/ it the first time I played it (and they couldn't sell it!) I wasn't kidding. I sure didn't need another amph. For the $$$ the sound you get is unreal.Originally Posted by bcdon

I've given a few hints to my wife about what a great Christmas present this amp would be for a "certain someone", but if Santa doesn't come through, I'll be heading to my local GC in the very near future!
