BEFORE YOU ROCK 

 

Before operating your JCA22H please make sure of the following: 

 

 

First, plug the JCA22H head into a speaker cabinet. 

 

Plug the power cable into the back panel and plug the cable into a power 

receptacle. Turn on the power switch on the amplifier and wait about 30 

seconds for the tubes to warm up.  

 

Turn on the standby switch. 

 

Turn up the volume knob on your guitar and impress your friends with your 

amazing new tone. 

 

WARNING: If a speaker or suitable “dummy load” is not plugged into 

the speaker jack, output transformer failure will occur. OUCH! This is 

not good and NOT covered under warranty. 

 

 

 

WELCOME TO JET CITY 

 

The Jet City Amplification JCA22H is a 20 watt, 2-channel guitar amp head with 
independent preamp and master volume controls for each channel. 

The tone controls shape the sound of both channels and are interactive which 
means that 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.  

The Jet City Amplification JCA22H also has a global presence control that lets 
you add high-end sparkle to both channels.  Other features include a tube-
buffered serial effects loop, multiple speaker impedance outputs, and a foot-
switch input for switching channels on the fly (foot-switch included). 

GENERAL OPERATION 

The JCA22H’s shared EQ controls allow you to dial up the right tone for you 

and your guitar no matter what your gain and output levels. The two 

independent preamp and master controls give you great stage versatility by
