scale lengths. These guitars can really benefit from the “openness” SHRED can impart on the sound. Even Alder guitars, with their
midrange punch and focus and higher bottom end signature, can put the SHRED Mode/Feature to good use.
This new voicing Mode adds even more versatility to the already powerful array of sounds in the Encyclopedia of Heavy that is the
JP-2C. And with the ability to have it active on one or both high gain Channels and combine that with your no-compromise EQ choices,
you can now craft the ultimate Crunch rhythm and Lead sounds in the same amp and switch instantly between them. Freedom!
Overview: Rear Panel
REVERB
The usual MESA array of individual, Channel specific REVERB controls kicks it off to the left side of the Rear Panel. Each Chanel
may be set with its own blend of the rich all-tube REVERB and the status stored along with Channel and settings choices under Midi Programs.
HEADPHONE OUT
Since the JP-2C contains our CABCLONE™ D.I. Recording Interface, all the elements for a great HEAD-
PHONE Output were available so this is also included. This Cabinet Simulated Stereo ¼” Output captures the entire sound of the
amplifier–power section and all–and includes the cabinet simulation circuitry of the CABCLONE’s DI Output. This HEADPHONE
Output makes for convenient and inspired practicing in environments where the sound of a speaker cabinet cannot be used.
SLAVE
A standard ¼” SLAVE Output provides a signal also captured from the SPEAKER Output, but in this case it is the raw,
untreated signal. This is not to be confused with a “Shaped, EQ’d, Speaker Compensated or Impulse Response” signal/sound that
would be appropriate for interfacing with a Console for either recording or live reinforcement. This signal is intended for adding ad-
ditional power in live applications or driving processing racks for feed to additional (external) satellite amplifiers and cabs.
SPEAKER
The standard array of SPEAKER OUTPUTS is provided for the interfacing of your favorite cabinet. All the common
impedance ratings have been provided for and you should be able to accommodate most any reasonable cabinet setup with this
combination of jacks.
CABCLONE™ D.I.
Here in the JP-2C we’ve included our popular CABCLONE™ D.I. Recording Interface for convenient
Direct recording without the need for mic-ing, although you can do that as well for a blend of live speaker and Direct sounds. The
full compliment of Voicing options from our stand-alone CABCLONE has been included here; CLOSED BACK, OPEN BACK and
VINTAGE, and this greatly increases the versatility of this feature for different sound styles. Other features aboard here in addition to
the balanced XLR Output include Speaker MUTE, an Instrument/Line LEVEL switch and GROUND/LIFT options.
NOTE: When using the SPKR ON position, make SURE you have a working speaker connected to one of the SPEAKER OUTPUTS.
Failure to do so may result in damage to your amplifier that is not covered under Warranty. Using the amplifier in the SPKR ON posi-
tion without a speaker or external load (resistor, soak, etc) connected will likely cause damage to your output transformer and render
your amplifier inoperative. Damage caused in this manner will not be covered under warranty.
FTSW and MIDI
Three DIN jacks, one 7-Pin for the JP-2C Footswitch, and two standard 5-pin DIN jacks for MIDI IN and THRU/
OUT are included for true connectivity and a number of ways to access the amazing sounds and pro features in the JP-2C. A STORE
toggle switch allows simple one-touch writing of your desired sounds in all the Channels to any of 256 Midi Program Numbers. There
is also a Midi Channel mini Rotary Selector for syncing of the Midi Channel to be used by your Controller of choice.
