The C version is re-voiced from the 1st gen by Martin Kidd. Bigger fatter smoother high gain side lower gain more vintage clean/crunch side and a beast of a little amp. Loved my 1st JCA22H and have regretted selling it just to good a deal on this one to pass!

Liked the last JCA22H I had but at that time needed more power on stage to get over the drummer and stage noise. The little 22 would get me there but I was really pushing it + had no real cleans so wound up running the 50 cal + Boogie head and sold the little Jet City. Have missed that little amp though and think these amps are criminally underrated! Looking forward to getting this one early next week.

I would think a 50 watt or 100 watt version with the exact same voicing would go over well.

With what I'm doing now the little 20 watter works better. At some point I do want to pickup a 100 watt JCM 900 Marshall head or a Soldano SLO.
They also have both the 100 and the 50 on sale here is the 50 at 329. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ampli...uitar-amp-head

And I just bought a new Boss Katana 1-12" combo yesterday..I always miss the Musicians friend sales..bad thing is I bought my new Katana at a Guitar Center,and they are Musicians Friend ! I didn't see one of these or any Jet City amps where I got my amp yesterday,so maybe online only..well I still have 44 days to turn this Katana back in..haha..

Is this how this 22C model really sounds ? I saw and have read about the 22H being a higher gain amp done by Martin Kidd.or am I wrong and its this C model ?

The 22 Custom model is the high gain version done by Kidd. Original had more gain on the crunch side with no real cleans and less gain on the lead side and was not voiced as dark. The C adds the deeper voicing + a bright and Mid boost switch. My first one was the Regular 22H with the Blue 333 logo.

Martin likes to use 2.2uf cathode bypass capacitors. Gives the amp more gain in the bass frequencies.

I finally got around to asking Doug at Jet City about this. He said, no, because he feels the Amelia covers that ground.

What I would love to see them do is a 6V6 version of the JCA22H!! The 6V s a lot thicker sounding in the bottom and less chimey on the top end + the quality of current production tubes in the market is much better. A 6V6 amp like the new PRS Sonzera 20 from Jet City would be a bad boy!!
LOVE the little PRS Sonzera 20 as got a chance last week to spend some time with one of those but they only do the 50 watter in a head the 20 is a combo only.

What I wish they would do is a JCA25 in a 6V6 version like the new PRS Sonzera.
Here is a JCA 22H tha has been converted to 6V6 and the tones are just WICKED!
