All user reviews of 5/5 for the Marshall JTM310 [1994-1997]

Contrary to what is written in another post, I'm not sure that there is a version in two 12-inch speakers (there would be no place to put them, in my opinion).
However, there are indeed two versions, the JTM30-312 with a Celestion G12 Heritage and JTM30 version with two HP 10pouces (not 12) mounted most often with Eminence Heritage 10.
And in my opinion, that is only my opinion, only the amplifier section is interesting, and they had the good sense to an outside cabin output 16ohms rear

NOTICE GLOBAL

And in my opinion, that is only my opinion, only the amplifier section is interesting, and they had the good sense to an outside cabin output 16ohms rear

30 Watt all-tube amp. 1 input, 2 channels (1 clean, 1 saturated), settings low, mid, treble, reverb., Insert effect, additional speaker outputs on the rear 16 ohm direct output (DI) Canon.
Supplied with foot channel change.
Tip: can be used as preamp using the DI output to attack another amp or a tape recorder and letting the stand-by.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. One can only regret that he did not like two separate channels on the JTM 60 that the sound is rougher.

SOUNDS

Works with all types of guitar.
This is most of the range Fender Marshall. The clean sound is very bright and highly crystalline mixed with Start pickups (B with C or N with C). Gibson humbucking version or the sound is very balanced.
Boost channel side, we get a very bluesy crunch to the old. Personally, I set the gain at 6, 10 bass, midrange and treble at 4, regardless of the guitar.
The reverb is sufficient, I abandoned the use of all my effects. The low power allows you to play always in the best performance of the amp, well worth putting my attacks of rope. Harmonics and feedback are waiting for you.
Recommended for bluesmen who can not afford to invest in amps prestige.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp as well live in the studio. I have since 1998. Having a dealer in my relationships, I have tried much amps in rehearsal and the only one that really appealed to me.
After six years of use, I do not trade for anything. I did not ruined and I have exactly the sound I wanted.

My opinion is on the JTM 310, EST to say the version with 2 HP 10 '

So we have a wonderful combo zici a very compact size, full lights (3 of prampli, 2 power) for a total of 30W. 2 channels, clean one that has the characteristic of fast super cruncher (yeah!) and a saturated are the opinions are quite controversial. I will come back.
Thank you Jim for having put a DI output connected to the preamp, and an outlet for a cab. an effects loop is also very useful. as an input for the footswitch and I think we went around.
Good afternoon, routine, an equalizer, reverb, we are happy to have a master volume (for beginners, it allows to saturate the preamp lamps without screaming beast).
I would have had a headphone jack, but a full 30W lamps that would have been difficult to conceive.
Purists will say that the lack of an equalizer and a separate reverb for channel 2 ... So in terms of features, it deserves a 9. Why not 10? because on one hand the original lamps (China) are not up, and it is blowing to have to change lamps when you buy an amp nine, although Desomer, we find that the market of opportunity, therefore, almost all are Retube. On the other hand, it is heavy, and it's really annoying to carry, especially since it is the carcass weight is 80%.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple hyper. I do not take my head, I have used. anyway, a good amp, it feels right now, even when it is not resolved, it rings. is the case with this one. The sound is good right now, the sine qua non is that we can push a little machine. And yes, it's a tube amp, it is expressed only if it is pushed. Not ideal in my opinion the game apart, though it is possible, but in these conditions it will not benefit from the dynamics of the lamps and the wonderful crunch.
Boosted channel ... objectively say, if we can get something clear at low volume, channel saturation is poor under the same conditions. even with lamps top wig, there was a nasal sound, worthy of a bad amp transition. on the other hand, turn the volume up, it's still something else.
Marshall purists will tell you that this amp does not issue the Marshall's ... They are right. Others will tell you that the saturated sucks ... They are wrong. If the resulting sound is not really that of a JTM 45 or a JCM 800, it's just different, and it must be said, far from the taste of everyone.

SOUNDS

My style of music ... in fact I have not too, but whatever my delirium, the receiver follows me. Its limits, it will be the big trash metal (I do not play, the better: D) and, as silly as it sounds, clean sounds at high volume. This amp crunch so fast it is difficult to get clear sound when playing in groups. It's a shame, but hey, it's only 30W, so you can not have it all.
I use a strat US, and my favorite channel is the clear, with the volume (preamp) thoroughly, and the master of 8 or so. I do not use any of the other channel. The crunch is fabulous, the sounds are crying with happiness. I like to spend all my pedals and just play "like that". Otherwise, with a slight chorus with the crunch, yum: o).
I said that I put the lamps for the Elite and Svetlana preamp to the power (the EL34 orginelles were replaced by 6L6): delectable. I have not had a chance to try it with good humbuckers or P90. We remain in the minds of the bluesy vintage amp, the result can not be inherently bad.

The only concern of 2x10, it is that scalability is limited. In return, we would obtain a better definition sounds clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, at home and again with friends. There's no wiggle in it need an amp whip, low volume, except for clear, dynamic enough, we feel that it is not made for that. The feature that attracted me the most is its ability to quickly cruncher, I never tire of the sound that emerges.
I had fun comparing it with my Hughes & Kettner combo acien to transistors, the difference is impressive in terms of dynamics.
On occasion it is not too expensive for (- € 400) and has such a bad reputation because of its saturated channel that nobody wants: D great to buy!
So I think just for that one day I amused myself by buying another into a head (just transfer the HP and resize the box) and I connect it to a cab. I think the potential is enormous.

In conclusion, a clear sounding amp crunch wonderful, and saturated sound different from the standard brand. My philosophy is that it is better to buy an amp for his clean sound for his saturated sound, since one can always put a distortion pedal to get the sound you want. While a clear sound pedal, I never found

He deserves a 9 / 10 easily, I take a point because of its clear unobtainable volume medium / high.

Marshall JTM 310, 30 watt all-tube 2 HP 10-inch Eminence, 2 channels: channel 1 channel 1 clean & overdrive / boost not too distorted, unless there lon Assistant PDAL of distortion, overdrive or booster. Without this gear, the natural, the kind plutt cest hot vintage overdrive the Bluesbreaker / JTM 45 with beautiful accents hendrixiens, at least mine is like a. The overdrive channel has a bad press sometimes, but I guarantee you quavec good lamps pre-amplification, 12x7, & Scheer prcises more than those lequipent dorigine & same for the 6L6 lamplification, it then finds its appeal without any restrictions, without being the sound of the stack 100 watt Marshall sound which is always associated.
As for the channel clear & warm, with jazzy low volume, it is also Designed, dixit the little booklet of recommendations provided, to give crunch LGERS more or less (very nice) if you push or boost, and after the output level of the guitar pickups volume & gnral, all the more clear that this channel also has linstar overdrive channel, dun appropriate r Gain adjuster. There is also an Accutronics Spring Reverb leffet lightweight but audible, deffets a loop, an XLR output for recording or simulation console with speakers and an output for 2nd quune external speaker.
Trs a good amp for blues more or less warm depending on the channel used the Texas blues, rock, 60s & 70s. As for more pop stuff, I dont ever really tried but it should be possible too. And I think if my sound is good for the blues, it is good for almost everything else! Unless of course the extreme stuff.

UTILIZATION

We can not do it + simple plug and play, we get easely sound we DSIR, 36000 knobs thee not, I have no manual and it would have served that cal e head of a rickety chair fawn ..

SOUNDS

Playing mainly blues rock is rather nerv amp is absolutely perfect, it has one of its pattate! The clean is exellent worthy of a good fender (I found the Peavey C30 molasson banal and c t from that of) the sound is really saturated trs good, we move from a big crunch bluuesy heavey saturated almost to the AC / DC or even Black Sabbath!
but it is to have a prfrable of distortion pedals in + for even the gain souus foot with my foot is ProCo RAT2 total EHJV what!
I use a telecaster highway with us, I think the microphones are best suited for simple this amp into distortion surtt a must if a little bavbr /> I like the grain trs "vintage" it is versatile trs, trs nn is perfect srieux.du good as Marshall does not know to do (the teasing I)

OVERALL OPINION

Hard to beat! It was worth more amp worth twice its price (it must be said that its new price of the silent era to about 850 euros)

UTILIZATION

Configuration, although it is "simplicime" it connects you turn the pots up to have her "sound" and go!
the qualisation does his job, the sound is clear trs trs good, the channel is more saturated a "crunch" "attention" this amp is more dedicated to empower users guitar single coil pickups, for fans of Les Paul is a shame but make double the sound filthy but not as might have love! except for having to play with a telecaster I can tell you has come!
Uh, yes, the manual? y 'bein a good one but I think that it is served that matter!
I put 8 because it has a marshall super clear sound! really!

SOUNDS

This amp is built for rock, blues rock, all clear sound and a bit crunchy genre's clear boosts (the boogie man of AC / DC) for m ^ mtal is not me possible! possibly hard rock but we need to develop a good PDAL!
I play with a "Gibson Les Paul, but only in the clear as I said it well in Satue degueux) tlcaster one, and a Start in the clear," boost "it gives trs rsultats good! of his country, blues, rock, rockabilly m ^ m may have eventually try jazz sounds but not the where he excels!
I love it for its clear sound!!
I do not like the dirty channel cot "boost" with a double guitar pickups ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in 1998 (sold in 2005) I change the lamps is only twice (and every time an amp is rcupre new!)
yes I have tried many models for the era I worked as a salesman in musical instrument and for a good rock sound (with a tite pedals as DS1, or a Tube Screamer, Big Muff) the ca ffective made it!
trs good one of the best tube amps for the era, what is more with characters and sound trs "bite"
yes definitely, and m ^ me if I could I would have not sold!

30 watt all-tube amp simple and effective.
Note that the DI output can s'avrer very practical: I use it on scne when there is no microphone to dub the amp, in-home studio (I think more living a simulator or other type POD), and to play with headphones at night, through my little console.
This amp seems a small problem rcurrent the effects loop (I got it too): nothing serious, just one bomb found in contact all the correct hardware store stuff .
Otherwise, you must know that the grille lamps derrire the amp is suitable for short-base power tubes (Sovtek original equipment fitted to the amp). So if you want to change the lamps by other models base "standard" (most common in short), it will either do a little tinkering to extend the depth of the shield, or do without this plate (solution of simplicity that I adopted it must do some gaffe during transport, but never had a problem at the moment).

SOUNDS

Yes the clean channel is trs trs well. It will be all styles, even if prdestin blues, blues-rock, rhythm n'blue, etc ... vintage stuff. You can also play jazz trs well, despite the sound a bit "grainy".
The sound of a gnral personality while remaining neutral enough to let the lights speak, I mean by that sound will be trs diffrent depending on the type of lamp that he will append.
No channel is not saturated unusable! I found trs well, it certainly is better at my Start that my sheraton in the saturation a bit more leves. Of course, unlike the clean channel, its use in terms of style of music is more limited. But for what it's done, I find many trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp, There are long (12/13 years). In the era in France, I bought it for little prs 3500 ff (few prs 500). This is my only amp, never changed. I almost make a ball one day and sell it. Looking at what to replace the same price, I t quickly convinced to keep ....
This is a good amp.

The Marshall JTM 30 is a medium sized guitar combination amplifier. Like the name contains, the amp will deliver 30 watts of power, so while not suitable for live shows in larger venues or with a full band, the JTM 30 is great for practicing, recording, and smaller or stripped down live shows. The amp is valve based, and has 1/4" jacks for input, foot switch, and for a send and return loop. It has both stand by and power buttons.

UTILIZATION

The make up of the Marshall JTM 30 is a very simple one, but still maintains access to a good amount of control over your sound. The amp contains a volume knob, and then three sections of parameters. The first section is for boost, which has knobs for volume and gain, the next is for tone which has knobs for bass, middle, and treble, and the last section is a master one, containing parameters for reverb and volume. I think that anyone who has even the slightest amount of experience with guitar amps, will be able to figure out how to use this amp quickly and without the assistance of a manual or any outside source. The parameters should certainly be familiar for experienced users.

SOUNDS

The Marshall JTM 30 has a very full bodied sound for an amp on the smaller side. I've used the amp for recording sessions, and although I was a bit weary at first, in the end I was very happy with the results. It turns out that even if you have this amp up only about half way, if you close mic the speaker using a good mic (like a Shure SM57 or Sennheiser MD 421) and run it through a good pre, that you can get some very professional sounding results. I was extremely happy with the crisp and full warm sound that we ended up getting with the JTM 30, even if it might not have been my desired choice at first.

OVERALL OPINION

I don't believe that they currently make the Marshall JTM 30, but you could probably find one used if you so desired, as they didn't make these all that long ago. However, if you can't find one I wouldn't stress too much about it, as although it is a very good sounding amplifier, there are definitely plenty out there that have a comparable sound quality of this size. Having said this, the Marshall JTM 30 is as good of a choice as any in it's class of amps, so if you come across one definitely don't over look it.
