I just saw that also. The JC-120 is known for being able to stay really clean even at high volumes. I think a lot of that might have been related to the speakers. Not that those fender twins are bad speakers either.
I don't know I still think it would be a great amp. And it is solid state so no maintenance and it will sound just as good at apartment studio volume. Also it's true stereo 60 watts per side, there aren't to many guitar amps anymore that are true stereo.
Just to give an example of what they sound like that everyone would know, James Hetfield, the singer/guitarist from Metallica uses a JC-120 in the studio to record all the clean, non-distorted guitar parts. Not that I'm a big 'tallica fan or anything I was just trying to think of something you would recognize. 'cause I know what a head banger your mom is.
Another band, one that I really am a fan of, that uses the JC-120 is Slowdive. Both Christian Saville and Rachell Goswell played JC-120s live. They used them because they kept a decent tone at higher volumes and because they have a stereo effects loop.
Personally, I'd kill for one although what I'd really like is the JC-120h model which is just the head, that way I can match it up with a closed back 4x12 cabinet.
