Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

JIMS 800 is a compact black preamp pedal built around component-based Ampworx modeling of a vintage JCM800 dual-channel preamp. It provides a hotter lead voice alongside a crunch rhythm voice, with independent channel controls for arranging both before a performance. Gain, Boost, Level, Bass, Mid, Treble and Presence give you tone-shaping access at the pedal. Cabinet simulation, a balanced 1/4-inch output and a stereo headphone output extend it to direct recording, live routing or quiet sessions.
