"Billy says of the JC120s “The signature sound of the first two Cult albums was the Gretsch and a Roland JC120. That amp had a very nice, clean chorus sound. Looking at pictures of me live from around this time, I went for a double amp setup – there was always a valve amp to give everything some balls. The Roland is great for the early, chimey stuff, because of that chorus sound—which I can really only get out of the combos. Some guys get a great sound with just one amp, but I’ve never been able to do it.”
“The chorus is unbeatable. I’ve always used it for that clean sound, and it’s definitely a big part of sound of The Cult up until the Electric album. I mean, I use other amps as well. If I look back at pictures of me from ’83 on, I’d always use a valve amp and a JC-120 in combination, always"
