MESA ENGINEERING JP-2C HEAD

Guitarist summer 2016
comprises three independent channels and
two separate five-band graphic EQs. The
EQs can be assigned to any combination of
channels, as well as working off the supplied
six-button foot controller, or through MIDI,
which governs most of the JP-2C’s switched
functions. Each channel has identical (though
differently voiced) controls for gain, master,
bass, mid, treble and presence, together
with an EQ assign toggle. Channel 2 and the
slightly higher-gain Channel 3 have push/
pull switches on the gain and presence
controls, which govern a gain boost and
increased presence range.
The window surrounding the two graphic
EQs has four more toggle switches: a channel
changer, one to toggle the reverb on or off,
another for the JP-2C’s effects loop, and
the last one is a new voicing that has been
developed specifically for the JP-2C called
Shred, which can be pre-set to work on
Channel 2 or Channels 2 and 3.
