A great speaker cabinet is absolutely crucial to a great amplifier tone, and thanks to groundbreaking advancements in convolution based impulse response technology, TC Electronic have captured the essence of incredible speaker cabinets with stunning accuracy and authenticity. Celestion have been the first choice supplier of cabinet speakers for countless legendary amplifier manufacturers throughout music history, so TC Electronic partnered with those masters of speaker craftsmanship to ensure that the Ampworx pedals delivered the authentic sound of genuine Celestion speakers. The JIMS 800 features an integrated impulse response of a 4x12 cabinet loaded with the coveted G12-65s - a perfectly matched combination to reproduce every last detail and nuance of your playing with ease.
No Time Like the Presence
With the included global PRESENCE control on the rear panel, JIMS 800 can adapt to any musical situation you might find yourself in. Realizing that players are likely to stack this pedal with a vast range of amplifiers, cabinets, and other pedals, TC Electronic included this convenient global control to allow you to dial the JIMS 800 to slot seamlessly into any existing setup or rig.
The Ins and Outs of it All
Featuring expansive output options, the DUAL WRECK's HEADPHONES and DI Outputs include an integrated cabinet impulse response to deliver genuine tone directly to an interface or mixing console - an incredibly powerful feature for silent practice, recording, and live performances. If you want to use your DUAL WRECK with a real amplifier, or use your own IR, the Line OUT option excludes the cabinet simulation- giving you the flexibility to customize and refine your sound to perfectly suit your current setup.
Gain Powerhouse
While the original amplifier's second channel is adored for it's high-gain tonal capabilities, TC Electronic have gone a step further and added a hint of additional gain. This boost is subtle, but can push your sound over the edge without sacrificing the amp's fundamental tone and feel. This slightly modified high-gain channel allows you to discover blistering tones that will mesmerize crowds and push sonic boundaries of rock guitar.
