JIMS 800 pays tribute to classic, guitar-driven rock. So, brace yourself as an unparalleled rock guitar tone gets up in your face!

Harnessing the cutting-edge TC Ampworx component-based modelling technology, they've successfully encapsulated the prowess of a glorious and iconic guitar head from the 80's - all within a compact pedal. Youll get the power of that era's unmistakable guitar tone right at your feet.

However, their commitment to delivering the ultimate guitar-hero experience went beyond merely reproducing the sound. They took great care to preserve the pedal's authentic look and feel, remaining true to the original amplifier. Every detail, from the control layout to the overall design, has been meticulously crafted to evoke nostalgia, as well as give an intuitive and familiar interface.
