Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

JIMS 45 is a black two-channel preamp pedal that models a 1965-era JTM45 and separates its Normal and High inputs. Independent gain control allows the channels to be set for clean rhythm and more driven lead sounds, then changed with the Channel footswitch. A footswitchable boost works before or after the preamp and is adjustable up to 5 dB. Presence, Level and three-band EQ provide further shaping. Cabinet simulation, balanced 1/4-inch output and stereo headphone connection cover direct recording, PA, monitor and headphone paths.
