Sure the JP-2C sounds amazing on CH2 and CH3. I have not quite exhausted what I can do with the amp on the lead channels. However, I have been enjoying the clean channel more than I thought I would. I am finding myself using the clean channel more than I have with my other amps. It may not have that low gain bite you can get with the TC-50, or the RA100, it lacks the flavors of the Roadster clean channels or the Mark V voices. What it has in common is the fat voice but yet it is more soothing than the rest. I have explored using the 5BEQ with the clean channel but it sounds the best without it. Just guitar and reverb and I am happy. I have many guitars at my disposal but the mahogany body set neck Carvin guitars are my favorites (CT6 which is similar to the PRS Custom 24 or McCarty). Another favorite is a Bolt C (strat style with locking Floyd Rose) with an Alder body and thick maple top loaded with SD "everything Axe" pups. This guitar sounds awesome on the clean channel. I should try to borrow my friends MIM Strat just to hear the difference.
I basically run the clean channel with all the controls at noon. Nice warm and mellow tone that draws you in. Not harsh or brittle or lacking depth. I never thought a closed back cabinet could sound as good. The JP-2C has lots of mojo in CH2 and CH3 but do not forget about the soul in CH1. Sweet ear candy with every note played. I basically use the Mesa Vertical 2x12 most of the time. Once in a while I will use one of the 412 cabs. Love this amp and I question why would I want anything else? Variety is good to have and I do not regret keeping my other amps even though they may not be getting the attention they deserve. There are times I need to put the JP-2C in another room so I can get some time on the other amps. I am very pleased with all of the features the JP-2C has to offer. Very simple to use and I do not have to bother looking up settings in a manual to figure it out.
