3 Things to Know About Getting Julia Jacklin’s Clean Tone
A used Fender Blues Junior gets you 90% of the way for under $400 It’s a smaller, cheaper alternative to the Fender Twin Reverb she uses, but still delivers that Fender chime. It takes pedals well for her reverb and occasional tremolo.
The Roland JC-40 is the secret weapon for sparkly, clean sound Its solid-state clean is absurdly sparkly, and the built-in chorus matches what she uses on tracks like “Body.” You can find them used for $300-$400.
Skip cheap modeling amps like the Fender Mustang or Boss Katana They can do many sounds, but that specific clean chime isn’t one of them. You’ll spend more time tweaking than playing.
