Ultratone Guitars Spotlight on Jet City Amplification





Jet City Amplification was launched in the Fall of 2009 by three partners with a common goal of delivering great guitar amplifiers at affordable prices. We came into the world with 5 simple products; a 20 watt head and combo which are based on Soldano’s Atomic 16, and three cabinets. From there we added several new amplifiers, all with the “100% tube tone – 0%bullsh*t” mantra: simple, focused, and great-sounding products for guitarist.

Thanks to your tremendous support, we’ve grown fast and added a lot of expertise to our product development, working with great developers around the world. While the core of our range remains straight-up tube amps, we’re eager to foray into new ways to deliver great guitar tones to JetCitizens around the world. As long as we keep the guitarist’s experience simple, build a reliable and great-sounding product, and continue to have fun, we’re happy.

Let's take some time out and take a look at the current line of production amplifier heads available from Jet City Amplification.

JCA100HDM

JCA100HDM 100W All-Tube Guitar Amp Head


JCA100HDM
Designed by Soldano! Includes the Famous Soldano Depth Control!

The Jet City Amplification JCA100HDM 100 Watt All-Tube Head is the new flagship based on the popular JCA100H. This amp features two channels of Soldano tone and 100 watts of pure tube power. The Crunch channel has plenty of headroom to deliver clear, bright clean tones and can be driven hard enough to get downright raunchy. The Overdrive channel is the circuit that made Soldano famous. The HDM version also includes the famous Soldano Depth Control, and a Metal front baffle, standard. The 100w / 50w brings the pain from 4 6L6 output tubes in 100w mode, or in 50w more two tubes are turned off causing the power section to work harder to reach the desired output level, resulting in some pretty hot power amp distortion. Rounding out the feature set is the wire-mounted blue LED, just because it looks cool. This LED is socket mounted so it can be replaced with other colors, a daisy-chain of several LEDs, or removed entirely.

Channels - Crunch and Overdrive
Footswitch Included
