All sorted - definitely a different footswitch from series 1 to series 2. With that all set, I gotta say, Rect-O-Verb 50's were totally underrated. I loved my Mark V, and my JP-2C - but where the former was a tweakers delight, and the later had some really cool modern features - I just love...

Actually - I may have found the issue - seems they gave me a series 2 footswitch. The channel selector says "channel" on the series 2 footswitch, and "rhythm" on the series 1 footswitch. Mine says channel, so I'm thinking there is an internal difference between the two series? This shop...

Hello all - I am just getting back into real tube amps after a few years in the modelling world (line 6 helix) - I've previously owned a Mark V, JP-2C and a mini rectifier. I sold most of my gear, and just wanted a nice simple tube amp - preferably a Mesa, but had to have something that...

I was using my JP-2C with a vertical 2X12 - and it sounds great - but I've recently been pairing it with a Mesa 1X12 Widebody and man, it is brutal. I always thought you needed a 4X12 for that "thump" - but the 1X12 is putting out way more than I thought it could. I'm wondering if its...

I'm really really liking this amp. Still haven't been able to try it with the band - which is going to tell me how useful it is in the whole picture, but I'm getting some really great sounds with it and the 1x12 widebody. To my surprise, it is able to achieve some great tone at bedroom volumes...

I actually had 2 JP-2C's for a short time. Was selling a guitar and someone traded me a JP-2C purple bronco straight up for the guitar. Ended up selling the original JP-2C I had for a little more then I was asking for the guitar. I'm actually real happy with this mini rectifier so far. It...

I know a second amp is an expensive pickup - but I do need a backup anyway. I've had amps go right before a gig - so this gives me a little insurance.

Just got the mini rectifier. Plugged it in and was a little worried at first. Seemed to get real muddy and hissy cranked up - master above 2:30 sounded real disappointing to me on the high gain channel. Finally hooked up my Helix to it 4CM and it's a different beast altogether just...

It's compact, but not exactly light at 40lbs. Mini Rectifier is 12lbs. Not that I can't carry around a 40lb head, but considering my rehearsal spot is about 1/8th a mile from the parking lot, then down 2 flights of stairs, I'd rather deal with 12lbs. I do have a closed back 1X12 with a C90...

Looking forward to plugging it in tomorrow. I don't think it will supplant the JP-2C - but I definitely would be interested using it for some gigs and for rehearsal. Mesa's are very versatile I'm finding - I even found a good blues tone with the JP-2C after sitting down with it a while. It...

After being on the fence I ordered a Mini Rectifier. Was an open box special and decided to grab it. I was first looking to downsize my rig - and was initially going to sell my JP-2C... I couldn't do it - that amp is just too good to part with... So I decided to sell some other equipment I...

Well, I had it on Reverb for about a day - then pulled the listing after sitting down and playing through it for an hour... I just can't sell it. I have the Mini Rectifier coming on Friday. If I like it, I'm selling off a part of my other gear that rarely gets used anymore. Guess I can use...

Really on the fence about selling of my JP-2C and going with something much smaller - Mini Rectifier. As much as I love the JP-2C - it gets largely unused now that my band has decided to really tone down our gigs and only do 4 or 5 a year. I just ordered the Mini Rec and have 30 days to...

The only amp I've had that is louder and has more gain on tap was my Krankenstein+ - but it didn't have nearly the tonal range or clarity of the JP-2C. My first JP-2C had a preamp tube issue that is similar to what you describe. Once that got swapped out it opened the amp right up. It's...

Really like the vertical 2X12 - I have one. Also a 1X12 Widebody closed back. The 2X12 fits it better -but I gotta say, got a chance to plug into a Recto OS 4X12 - it really does outshine the 2X12. Not by leaps and bounds mind you, but it definitely lends itself the the JP-2C. I will keep...
