...and much of it is modified. But I did really like the JC-120 for clean stuff, because it was so hard and clean, even more so than a Fender Twin. I changed out the speakers with Celestion "Modern Lead" 12M-70s, which were the standard Marshall speaker at the time, IIRC. They really improved that amp, which had terrible factory speakers made by Roland. I sold that one, unfortunately, and replaced it with an ADA MP-1 tube preamp, which has a pretty good solid-state channel similar to a JC-120. At the time, a lot of players were getting tired of lugging around racks of Marshalls and Rolands (including me), and the ADA was sort of a no-brainer. I still use it for a lot of the '80s super-clean processed sounds.
