Roland TR-808 and Jazz Chorus JC-120

via swissdoc:

"I recorded some examples of the Roland Jazz Chorus driven by a TR808 pattern.

This one is recorded in mono with a Sony F-VS7 Dynamic Microphone, I had to do some noise reduction to get rid of the prominent hum:




This one is recorded in mono with a Monacor ECM-100 Electret Condensor Microphone:




The dry signal is recorded directly from the TR808.

I then allways tweak the settings of the amp.

Volume is set to very low value, max 1 out of 10. Otherwise the house would explode.

The distortion of the amp is not the best one on this planet. They should have labeled it destruction or shredder :-)"

    PS. These embedded mp3 flashes don't work with Firefox.

    I have an JC-120 and I think its dreaded distortion is ok for some guitar tones, like a Lenny Kravitz 70s kinda tone, but that's about it.

    You get more bass out of the JC-120 when you go past 9 o'clock. You could try set the bass/mid/treble to zero, raise the overall volume and then slowly raise bass/mid/treble.

    Also the main inputs behind the JC sound quite different from the front panel inputs.
