Ultra basique. Y'a pas 10.000 potards a tourner. Plug'n play. Rock'n roll quoi !!!!

SONORITÉS

Won't get folled again des Who, c'est une Gretsh dans un Jet.
Les sons clair sont tres tres beaux, tres cristallins.
Le crunch est TRES beau, présent des 4/5 de volume, meme avec ma Jazzmaster. On peut tout faire avec le mediator(passer d'un son clair à un son de plus en plus saturé en attaquant de plus en plus )....

La réverb est énorme. A fond, ca fait vraiment le son Rockab'. Avec un grand coup de lattes, ca explose carrément, du bonheur !!!!!!
Le vibrato est chaud a souhait.
Y manque juste un Switch pour la réverb et le témolo. (et éventuellement un master volume pour mes voisins).

AVIS GLOBAL

Je l'ai depuis deux ans et je l'adore. Au moins autant, si ce n'est plus que mon Champ silverface.
Le rapport qualité-prix est loin d'etre extraordinaire (pres de 900 euros neuf !!!!) mais c'est AMPEG !!!
Je referais sans doute ce choix (quoique un AC 15....).
Je mets 9 passque maintenant avec les amplis Made in China, on peut trouver la meme qualité pour beaucoup moins cher

Une très bonne version moderne d'un classique Amp

Ampeg J-12TPublié le 28/07/11 à 19:16
contenu en anglais (contenu en anglais)
First, let me point out that I am writing this review years after this particular amp has been disncontinued. I got the one I own only a couple of months ago, and consider myself lucky to have it.

This is NOT a "feature rich" amp. It's basically an amp for someone who will play only blues and classic rock through it. No effects loop, no modeling, not even a bass and treble control. Heck, it does not even have channel switching, and you can't turn the reverb or tremolo off with a foot switch! If you want lots of bells and whistles, you are barking up the wrong tree. Stop reading now and get yourself something like a Line 6 amp- this is NOT the amp for you. Two inputs, quaintly marked "guitar" and "harmonica," and no other connections.

For those still reading, it's got what it needs- a treble-cut ("Tone") can smooth out nerve-grating highs when you need or want that, reverb is nice, and tremolo-equipped amps should ALWAYS have both Speed and Depth/Level controls- any amp or effects box that does not allow you to control both is not worth your time or money. 15 watts may not sound like much, on paper, but they ARE tube watts, which are louder than SS watts, and it is enough for most occasions where you would not mic the amp- beyond that, you have the PA and sound man to help you out.

UTILIZATION

For a blues and rock amp, this little blue thing makes some sweet tones. Only one tone control means you don't lose time trying to get a good balance, just turn the tone control to where it sounds good to you for the moment, and play. The manual from Ampeg includes a nifty section on tubes- worth having the whole thing just for that section, and the section on the amp, it's self is good, too.

It does have it's issues. Tremolo can get very "bumpy" when turned up past about 6- to the point where you just can't bare it. There is a pretty easy fix for this- installing a cap across two of a tube's terminals can mitigate this- my tech did this, but I need to bring it back for a higher-value cap, as it helped, but the issue is still there. A cabinet buzz is too prevelent to ignore, although mine does not seem to have that particular problem- be sure to test for this if you are auditioning one.

SOUNDS

It would be a mistake to put too many pedals in front of this amp. Occasionally, I need my Tube Screamer to get the right fuzz/distortion, but usually, just going direct in from my guitar gives me the tone I want and need. Lots of Fender-ish chimy, clean tones are not to be found here, at least not in the example I have. But if you want power-tube overdrive at reasonable levels, this amp delivers. Blues and vintage rock guitarist, and harmonica players (I am both) should love this amp. Country-clean players may find it does not get quite clean enough, and metalist will hate it. Do not expect to play acoustic guitar through it.

But, tone and mojo are here, in spades.

OVERALL OPINION

The blue-diamond pattern tolex sets it- and you- apart, visually, as does the blue pilot light (I only wish the pilot was on the front, so it could be seen by the audience.) Few amps this size- both dimensionally and watt-output- have a 12-inch speaker (or even room to install one,) but this one does, which helps it bring the tone.

Not enough examples on the used market to establish a value, but I'd say if you can get one for around $150-200, after any repairs needed, you would be doing fine.

This is a classic amp!

The Ampeg Jet! 15 watts all tube, class A, point-to-pointm handwired (I think). With 12ax7s and I believe EL84s.

Super retro look, well it's a retro amp! Front panel: volume, tone, and tremolo.

There's been many types and variations of the J-12 so I'm not sure which one mine is but the fact that it has a tremolo feature on it must relate to the J-12T model in some way.


I can't remember what speaker is in it, but I believe it's the original, whatever Ampeg used for the Jet models in the early 90s.

UTILIZATION

Probably the easiest amp in the world to use with just 3 knobs. It's as simple as an effects pedal!

Put the amount of volume you want, set the tone and turn on the tremolo on via the knob if you want to kick it in. There are 2 inputs, as there always usually is with Ampeg combos, one for guitar and one for 'accordian' I really don't know what the difference is, cause I definitely can't hear it.

The only thing is the plug is the older 2 prong style, mine was replaced with a standard 3 prong to eliminate shock hazards etc.

But this is as simple as an amp can get!!

SOUNDS

Great sound! This is a single channel clean amp of course so don't expect massive distortion sounds or high gain sounds. It's a 60s, 70s clean sound. Not too bright like fender, still thick but still jangly. Think the Beatles-esque cleans. Very smooth and lots of headroom!

Just for kicks I seldom max out the volume and get this disgusting crunch. It sounds like complete crap, it's hilarious! I never use it live, though I've also put some distortion and overdrive pedals through this to get some interesting voices.

Definitely not a gain amp however, if you crank the gain and boost it you will get a noisy and probably horrible sounding distortion.

Though it takes pedals well, generally! So if you've got some cool effects or a good distortion pedal you'd probably have a nice Ampeg version of a blues jr but with a more retro style and warmer cleans.

OVERALL OPINION

I really like this amp for what it is. It's so darn simple and sounds so great. With the right pedals you can get nearly any tone and it's all going to sound in the vintage ballpark, smooth and warm yet clear and full of life.

The cleans are the best point, they are the warmer alternative to a fender and are generally more jangly than twangy. I unfortunately didn't keep this amp and wish that I did. How many times have you heard that?

Anyway, good amp, good price. if you can find one used it's a good clean tube amp and practice amp or even gigging amp, 15 watts it more than enough for a jazz/blues or rock band.
