I have a Jet City 2112RC combo for sale or trade. I've installed a choke and also have the parts for the depth mod. Stock tubes.

$250 or trade for a 2x12 cab
I'd also trade toward a 2 channel head or combo, british voiced and 50 watts max.

Any soundclips? What does the choke & depth mod do for tone? Also, where is it located?
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

Stock tubes? Seriously, this is probably why you're trying to sell the amp. I feel like these amps are sold like a gasoline car filled with diesel. Of course it runs poorly.

Interesting. What would you put in it? Any sound clips? I've been eying this thing forever now.
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

I'm trying to sell it because I'm getting another amp. Believe me, this is a great little amp. I never said I didn't like it. I ran it with different preamp tubes, and it does sound better, but not too much. I guess it just depends what you want from the amp.

It runs great. Not sure where you got that it runs poorly. Since this is a "for sale" thread, please try to keep your opinions, or your thoughts of what my opinion is, to yourself. Thanks

Here's 2 clips I made. They're just done with my laptop mic.

The choke tightened it up a bit. Being a 1x12 combo, it was a little flubby without it. I haven't done the depth mod, I only have the parts for it. I'm in Bellmawr, NJ.

Sorry, dude. No, I think it sounds good stock, and I think it sounds great with new tubes. I worded it poorly, and I love my JCA20H. In fact, I think I just need that choke mod of yours, and maybe a lower-gain PI, and it'll be perfect.

what tubes are you running in yours ? JJs seem to be a poplular swap for them however I was thinking Mullards EL84s and TungSol 21ax7s. Seems a lot of guys are putting a lone gain tube in them to calm them down a bit too.
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

I've got Tung-Sols in V1 and V2, and I'm experimenting with a lower gain PI tube. For a 12AX7 in the PI, I like the Mullard. By the way, JJs in the preamp sound awful to me.

As far as power tubes go, I think the JJ's are pretty good and pretty durable. However, the only comparison I've done in the power section is the stock Chinese, and it made some difference, but I think the biggest difference you might get in the power section is just by adjusting the bias.

Oh, and a bump so ledvedder really doesn't think I'm trying to screw over his sale.
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

No, problem on his sale, Is on its way to CT soon. We've work out a trade.

Im going to order some tubes for it and have the bias set.

Whats the depth mod? I havent been able to find much info on it.
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

The DSL is an awesome amp. Im gonna miss it but its just so over kill for me. We play small bars, I've never had the volume past 3 and that loud. 20 watts should be plenty, we usually mic the guitars through the pa anyways.
 
Re: FS/FT - Jet City 2112RC with choke

Whats going on with the deal ? I paid to have it boxed yesterday, I need at least the money before I ship. When do you plan on shipping the JetCity ? Should I just relist the DSL as available again ?
