Nembrini Audio unveiled a new plugin that recreates the legendary Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amplifier. This digital emulation aims to replicate the iconic solid-state amp's pristine, clean tones, expansive stereo chorus, and vibrant vibrato effects.
The original Roland JC-120, introduced in the mid-1970s, stands as one of the most influential solid-state amplifiers ever produced. Its design has remained largely unchanged for five decades, becoming a cornerstone in recording studios worldwide. The amp's pure, warm, clean sound has shaped countless hit records across diverse musical genres, from African roots to reggae and metal. Notable artists, including Andy Summers of The Police, Johnny Marr of The Smiths, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and jazz virtuoso Pat Metheny, have relied on its distinctive character.
Nembrini's Jazz Chorus plugin meticulously captures the essence of the Roland JC-120's celebrated features. The development team focused on recreating its sparkling clean tones, rich stereo chorus, and characteristic warmth. This digital recreation delivers an authentic playing experience for both studio recording and live performance scenarios.
The plugin expands upon the original hardware's capabilities with modern enhancements. Musicians can select from six cabinet emulations and four premium microphone models with adjustable positioning. The software includes comprehensive control over volume and stereo placement. Additional features include an impulse response processor, pre-amplifier effects with noise gate, compressor, auto swell, and fuzz processing. The signal chain concludes with post-amplifier processing, offering equalization, delay, and studio-grade compression.
This virtual instrument empowers musicians to explore new sonic territories through its blend of classic amplifier characteristics and contemporary audio processing capabilities.
