I ended up buying this head and it is amazing. The versatility of this thing! I'm still working on nailing the gain sound mixed with the 2nd EQ. I never thought I needed more than 2 channels but having clean, crunch and high gain at the tap of a footswitch has made me very happy. The only thing I'm being psychosomatic about is the clean. It is amazing but I tend to drive myself crazy thinking it doesn't have the real vintage wamrth I like but I think it's there.... I think. On a negative note, when I switch to the 3rd channel where I have my high gain, it pops. But after the first pop, it doesn't do it again. This happens every time I turn it on. Also, like with the mini rectifier I ordered before it didn't come with the cord to connect the footswitch to the head, so make sure they double check it's there before shipping it to you.

There was actually one in the store to try this summer and I loved it. The guy at L&M didn't hesitate to set it up for me and make sure I got an in depth instruction of it. I was hesitant between this and the Orange MKiii because I love Orange's clean on the rockerverbs and the simplicity of the knobs but after trying the JP-2C, I love it. It's a beast, built like a tank and the cleans do not disappoint. So, I will be getting one in the near future.

Yes, it's an expensive amp, but it's seriously worth the money. Quality-wise, there is pretty much nothing better out there. Even if you're not a fan of John Petrucci and/or Dream Theater, he simply knows his stuff and it's reflected in this amp. I had a hard time dialing in a good tone with the Mark V, but with this baby I had a great sound within minutes when playing it first. Coming from an Engl, I like high gain sounds with lots of sustain and the flexibility of the JP-2C is simply fantastic. I've never had an amp with a 5-band EQL in the poweramp section before and the impact it has on sound is extreme. The classic V-scoop gives you a perfect metal lead tone and this model even has another one, so you can switch to a different tone for let's say solo. What I also love about it is the midi capability, which makes it so easy to store presets with a connected foot controller and an effects processor (using G-Major and a Behringer FCB foot controller). Sound-wise it takes a little time to find the perfect tone, but then even different guitars all sound fantastic through it. Three channels is all you need, the reverb is a nice add-on, although I find it to be too intense when you turn it up past the minimum setting. The shred options are great, although with the added gain you have to be even more careful to dial it in right in order not to make it sound too mushy. Love it: - Sound - Flexibility - Build quality - Midi switching capability Leave it: - Price - Sensitive reverb

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
