Cheaply made and noisy
I purchased this brand new-sounded beautiful in the store, but that was a noisy environment. I took home and there is white noise galore (oddly enough more so when effects are off) even when the volume is only at one with or without anything plugged in. Great clean sound if you can get rid of the white noise. I am in the process of taking it to a service center, the guy there tells me over the phone that these amps are notorious for being noisy????!!! At this price??? My 250 dollar behringer is more versatile,dead quiet and models amps very well. Lot of corners cut in construction. Plastic nuts on all inputs(one of them is stripped)Plastic corners. However the design encompasses metal rivets, which i can best call cosmetic, all around the front and back. Use the metal where needed please. Chorus is excellent, but again, what good is it if amp is noisy as heck?

A good Indie Rock amp, with minor flaws
I came to the store with no idea what kind of amp I wanted and came out with this beautiful machine. The JC-120 is renowned for its god-like clean tone, but often takes criticism for having a weak Distortion tone. This latter fact is true, but for anyone who's heard this amp's brilliant clean sound it should more than make up for it. That being said the amp sounds nice with a Distortion Pedal, so one may be worth investing into.
The Amp's Chorus effect is about as good as it gets, but unfortunately my particular amp's reverb effect was completely fried. This was fixed with the purchase of a Boss RV-2 (off Ebay) but it still left me a little ticked.
Overall a good amp and worth it if you are getting into recording.

Superb Performance
I have had my new Roland JC-120 just over 2 weeks now. I bought it specifically for use with a new Rickenbacker 360-12 that I had bought a month earlier. The Ric has a stereo output splitting the two pick ups and the JC-120 seemed like the perfect 2 channel stereo chorus amp for this feature. (Recommended by Roger McGuinn as the best amp made for a Rickenbacker 12 string on his Byrds site.) I also have a strat, a tele, a les paul studio and a danelctro that all sound amazing through this amp. It has super clean volume, beautifully chiming reverb and chorus, hauntingly beautiful tremelo and a punchy fat distortion. This amp will fill a large hall or rock your living room just as well. I'm told the Roland JC-120 is a studio standard in the recording industry.
I've also been running a Boss (Roland) ME-50 effects rig through this amp. On the back there are jacks for effects loop send and return, serial and parallel connections so that you can mix or separate processed and unprocessed sounds. You name it and the JC-120 performs for you. The local Guitar Center where I bought this didn't stock it and had to order it in for me. They had it in 2 days from request. Most of the guys at the shop had never seen the JC-120 before and they all had to try it out the night before I picked it up. Everyone of them expressed their envy and look at all the other in store options they have to play with. It's also just a really good looking amp as well.

Long Lasting
PROs: I use this amp during my weekly practices at church, for about a year now. The guy who owns it has had it for ten years, and it is in excellent condition!! It can be very soft, but if you turn it up it plays over the house amps. It sounds good with all the guitars I've used with it (Strats, LP's, Teles, ect.)
CONs: The distortion tone is weak, and the reverb is'nt so hot either. But hey!, should'nt you have a pedal board?

The Jazz Chorus is my favorite amp
The Roland Jazz Chorus (JC-120) has always been my favorite amp and I finally bought one about three years ago. This amp has been used by countless guitarists for years for that ultra clean and shimmering chorus sound either for chords, single string lines like the Cure, or arpeggios and the amp stays clean at very loud volumes. The built in distortion isn't very good though, and I never use it, and I think most people don't either.
This amp is a workhorse and never fails, and being on casters is a great benefit.
