Probably a stupid question about a Roland Jazz Chorus (1 Viewer)

[Alan Remorse]

Hello.

I play through a lovely Roland Jazz Chorus.

It's a single channel amp, which I guess is a bit of a pain. But I've noticed at the back there's an input for a footswitch that says it's for switching channels. BUT IT'S A SINGLE CHANNEL AMP.

What gives?

 

[Alan Remorse]

I should add it's a JC90 I own.
It's apparently a "distortion" footswitch input.
So if I get any old bog standard footswitch I can switch distortion on and off? Despite it being a single channel amp?

I'm an idiot. I would ask the guy I bought it off but I'm afraid of being snorted and/or scoffed at.

Don't loads of single channel amps have distortion built in? Surely this amp just adds distortion to the clean channel no?

 

[Alan Remorse]

Yeah that's pretty much it. Single channel, you just turn distortion up and down.
So I guess I could get a footswitch to just turn it on and off?

Yep, I guess so.

They're lovely amps. The nicest sounding I've ever owned anyways.

Played through one a few times and could never get a decent sound.
