Channel the legendary sound that defined guitar-driven rock with TC Electronic's JIMS 45, a meticulously crafted amp modelling pedal that captures the essence of Jimi Hendrix's iconic British tube head. Built by passionate guitar-playing engineers with hands-on experience of the original amplifier, this pedal utilises advanced AMPWORX modelling technology to recreate every component of the classic circuit with painstaking accuracy. The familiar control layout stays true to the original design, giving you both authentic tone and an instantly recognisable interface that feels right at home from the moment you plug in.
The sonic foundation comes courtesy of Celestion's official impulse response of the beloved 4x12 G12M Creamback speaker cabinet, integrated through cutting-edge convolution-based IR technology. This partnership between TC Electronic and the company behind countless classic guitar combos throughout music history creates a tone match that's nothing short of spectacular. The pedal features dual operating modes: the always-on Dual Channel mode lets you toggle between green and red channels (modelling different master volume configurations), while Bypass mode turns JIMS 45 into a traditional stompbox you can engage at will.
Versatile routing options cater to any setup, with the DI output including cab simulation for direct PA connection or recording, the OUT jack bypassing cab sim for use with existing amplifiers, and a dedicated headphones output with cab sim for silent practice sessions. The Presence control gives you the choice of the original's darker character or the brighter feel of later revisions, while the Boost circuit offers PRE mode (like a vintage tubescreamer driving the amp harder) or POST mode (adding volume without changing your core tone). Whether you're chasing classic sounds, modern tones, or pushing boundaries into uncharted territory, JIMS 45 provides the tools to sculpt jaw-dropping guitar tones perfect for bending both notes and minds.
