Overview

Iconic '80s Rock Tone in an Intuitive Preamp Pedal

The TC Electronic Ampworx JIMS 800 preamp pedal brings you the unmistakable guitar tone of a legendary '80s amp right at your feet. With advanced component-based modeling, the JIMS 800 accurately captures the iconic dual-channel preamp section of the vintage JCM800 amp in a compact, gig-ready pedal. The JIMS 800 gives you independent channel controls and flexible routing options like headphone out and cab simulation, enhancing your playing experience without compromising the original amp's iconic sound.

Faithfully Recreate Iconic '80s Rock Tone

Thanks to TC Electronic's cutting-edge Ampworx technology, the JIMS 800 preamp pedal authentically reproduces the legendary rock guitar tone of the vintage JCM800 amplifier. The pedal's meticulous component-level modeling precisely captures the JCM800's signature gain structure, EQ curve and dynamic response. Just like the original amp, the JIMS 800's dual-channel design provides two distinct voicings - a hotter lead tone and a punchy crunch rhythm sound. Whether you want singing leads or aggressive rhythms, the JIMS 800 delivers the era-defining rock guitar tone that defined a generation of players.

Get Legendary Preamp in a Gig-Ready Pedal

With the JIMS 800, TC Electronic puts the coveted preamp section of the JCM800 right at your feet in a super portable pedal format. No more lugging around a heavy stack to get those iconic British tones - now you can grab that unmistakable sound in a compact, gig-ready pedal. The JIMS 800's intuitive control layout gives you easy access to the original amp's Lead and Rhythm channels, letting you switch sounds seamlessly. And with options like a built-in cab sim, headphone out and XLR DI, the JIMS 800 makes it easier than ever to get pro '80s rock tones in any live or studio setting.

Shape Your Sound with EQ and Flexible Routing

Beyond faithfully recreating the JCM800's preamp, the JIMS 800 also adds some modern enhancements to give you even more tonal control. The pedal provides a 3-band EQ and Presence control so you can fine-tune your tone to suit any guitar, rig or mix. And with its rear-panel XLR DI out, headphone jack and optional cabinet simulation, the JIMS 800 offers flexible routing options for practice, recording or live use. Whether you want to rock a club or track quietly at home, the JIMS 800 has you covered.

Enhanced Playing Experience, Authentic Tone

With the JIMS 800 preamp pedal, TC Electronic merges the best of classic amp tone and modern design. The pedal stays true to the original JCM800's iconic sound and vibe while enhancing the playing experience with its compact size, intuitive controls and flexible routing.
