All user reviews for the Marshall JMP-1

Does everything said.

UTILIZATION

Simpler you die! One branch, the RULES in 5 minutes and voila the sound, the manual downloaded from the net is pretty clear.

SOUNDS

Trs well for the grunge, punk, rock and hard rock in gnral, limit for the metal.
Used with a Fat Start, a Washburn WI64 and an Ibanez RG 270 with Di Marzio pickups,
the Satus are quite nice greasy without being extreme, the clean sound is not clear trs, get crystal clear sound is impossible ... ah I'm told it's a Marshall ... Okay, as much for me.

OVERALL OPINION

did a little over a year I use, I like the possibility of safeguarding its presets, the simulation of loudspeakers and sound saturates the clean sound is not great but I m ​​' doubted it before you buy.

I bought OCCAZ so qualitprix good value, the price seems to me by nine against EXAGRES.

For the price I referrer the same choice.

The JMP-1 preamp is a noon lamps (2Xecc83) equipped with four switchable channels (2 clean sounds and clean2 clean1-and-2-OD1 and OD2 distos-. It also has a 4-band EQ for each channel, a master volume, a knob gain and an output volume of knob.
Note qqu'il patch has 100 programmable memories and driven by noon.
At the rear, the connection is the most comprehensive: a stereo output, 1 output stereo emulated HP, all connections noon (in, out, through) and the outlet.
The JMP1 is on the comprehensive plan both in the connections that the number of channels and its possibilities through technology Midi.

UTILIZATION

I bought my JMP1 of OCCAZ 'and I did not have manual. Yet the sound is easily obtained! The only problem I encounter is the driving evening. I want to ride my ToneLab SE avce and I do not arive at the moment (on the other hand it's been a week since I That a time and tried to make contact .. .). Otherwise find its appropriate and save it is very easy for little fingers that is!

SOUNDS

I play modern rock, muscular but not metal and JMP1 gives me the right note ...
I was using before the ToneLab SE uniquemnt disots but did not suit me, it was too artificial and there I plug the JMP1, I press forward and OD2 guingamp!! The distortion is fat but precise, rich in harmonics ... I fall short ... As for the clear ons I can not find them bad from what I've read before. They are very transparent, it's true. It gives one the impression of a simulated acoustic and I found it interesting. The move from a creamy crunch (to SRV) to overdrive worthy of acdc!!
Going back to the disto fabulous (the real Marshall sound you hear on all skeuds but we never found ...), maybe my gear also helps a little. I plug in either my Gibson Les Paul Classic Premium Plus is my PRS CE 24 and JMP1 enters a Marshall 9200 power amp (with 12 lights) so I think it always plays for the harmonic s and sounds bold but well-defined .

OVERALL OPINION

I use it so soon for a week and I'm a fan of this preamp.
I love saa disto, versatility, ease of use and fucking her give me!
I had a lot of amp (fender, marshall transistor preamp ToneLab) and I never found or heard this sound coming from my 1960A!!
I bought it at auction for 200E and I made the best deal in the world ... "Yes, but it has mesa boogie nothing to do" ... To those who say that I say that a msa is 7-8 times more expensive than two, I played on the mesa (MARK4 correct and dual), it is clear that powerful heavy fat but the sound of rock music I like, especially if the grain I have found that with my JMP1. In fact many great guitarists have not cheated, I think that john5 studio uses only JMP1 and do not tell me that the distortion is low because it was still playing live "the beautiful people" with the JMP1. Metallica through Judas Priest or at home in France DHAM, the sound is killer marshall and JMP1.

Everything or almost everything has been said already. No need to add much, except that mine (bought secondhand to an AF user) has two jj tubes and came with the pedal that goes with the jmp1.

UTILIZATION

The configuration couldn't be easier. Personally, I connect it to the return of my fallen angel head.
"Is it easy to get the right sound?": oh yes!!! Especially since everything is configurable on the jmp1: clean sound, distortion sound, bass, mid, treble, presence, effects loop level, gain, volume.
Regarding the patches available, 26 are already preset by the manufacturer but they can be modified at will. All others are entirely free for you to create your own sound.
The manual is simple enough to be easily understood by anyone. A table details the 26 preset patches (volume level, gain level, bass level...).

SOUNDS

Connected to the loop of my fallen angel, I have tested the jmp1 with my 3 guitars: an American strat, a gibson les paul smartwood and a ltd viper tuned one semitone down.
I "reproach" my fallen angel for having a too sharp, too solid, too modern sound. I want heavier sounds, so that's why I chose the marshall over the engl 530 or the voodoo valve. And I was not disappointed, on the contrary. For people who love rock, in every sens of the word (poop rock, hard rock, heavy metal), this preamp is for you. The sound palette is such that it's impossible not to find the sound, or sounds, you are looking for. I haven't had it that long to be able to really exploit all the resources of this beast.
For those who think you can't get a big and fat sound with the jmp1, I can guarantee you that you are wrong: with an EQ (mxr 108) in the loop, even an overdrive to boost everything (mxr wylde or ibanez tube screamer), and the possibility to adjust all parameters, we can go from a superb crunch to a very nasty and fat sound (maybe the jj tubes have something to do with that? I haven't tested it with the original tubes, so I can't confirm that).
It's true that the jmp1 isn't the best for clean sounds, but it wasn't made for that. Nevertheless, with a bit of reverb and a compressor we can get very nice results.
Finally, something that came as a really nice surprise to me is that it is possible to get fat distortions at low volumes with this preamp. I suddenly have no use for my vhm power break anymore, which was indispensable before (I've put it up for sale).

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion might be very subjective, given my little experience with amplifiers, but the jmp1 truly corresponds to the sound I was looking for and that I like so much. You may criticize the marshall sound, but nevertheless it has something and it's part of rock history. The jmp1 has reconciled me with marshall because I was very disappointed after trying out a tsl 60 combo which paled against the fallen angel.
I highly recommend this preamp given its great value for money, especially secondhand, if it's in good condition, like mine (thank you aliascross!!!).
What I like best is the diversity of sounds and their configurability (is that even a word?)
What I like least: maybe the fact that you only have four sounds available with the footswitch (but then again, a midi pedal will help you easily get round that problem).

Edit from 01.06.07: after several days I changed my jmp1 for another preamp (an engl tube toner). But it wasn't because I was disappointed by the jmp1, but rather that I had no use for one of the preamp's main advantages: the configuration possibilities it offers. The jmp1 requires a lot of time to fine tune the sound, which is something I don't have. That's why I took the opportunity to change it for a tube toner that has more basic settings and is easier to configure. I still think that the jmp1 is a very good product, and who knows I might end up coming back to it someday...?

Guitar preamp lights (but there must be a diode clipping somewhere)
4 MIDI channels
19 "1U
2 ECC83 for the clean and OD channel
Assignable effects loop on each preset

To see the rest of the Marshall site ...

8 / 10 there could be the same as the Schma SERIES 9000 (3 lights) to do well and mature APRS rflexion a guitar between the rear of the s'avre indispensable instrument (too galre cables in a rack when you have a unit for the effects pregain).

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple you press the buttons, turn the data wheel and we do store 2X!
The EQ is effective trs which allows the hair well rgler presets.
The sound is not immediately the need to rglages 50000 ...
The manual is short but it is not useful, but the factory presets contain really cool stuff.
MIDI makes it versatile and flexible trs.
The stereo effects loop is assignable to each preset and assayable thanks to the Effect knob is simply a dry / wet (0 is no effect, 6 were 50/50 and 12 was 100% the effects )

SOUNDS

I use it in a Hard US / Rock FM and it's perfect!
It has the sound Marshall (personal I mount with a 12AX7 in the VHT clean and EH 12AX7 DO) and it is rock trs.
Clean 1: fairly warm with lots of low mids
Clean2: more bright and prcis, EQ more hollow (nickel to attack modulation effects, for example)
OD1: too much gain (rock / hard) with a lot of mdiums and body
OD2: more gain and also prcis
Trs is versatile while keeping his personality the Clean 1 and 2 are nickel (even if it is far from a Twin or Rivera!) And Satus are in line with the brand (JCM800 / 900 or Plexi hotrodded ...). In addition it perfectly boosts cash or OD upstream.
The sound is still quite rock and not dborde no gain, has not the precision of a VHT or ENGL, Marshall is a what, I love to love me!
With good lighting Higain (Ei, Tung-Sol, Golden Dragon ...) you can even explore the terrain of the big mtalleux (Deftones, Fear Factory ...)!
To quibble I would say that crunches are not up to the mark (JTM, Plexi, JCM800 ...)

8 / 10 because it sounds very serious except for a little crunch and steep that, despite its versatility in terms of use when you stay in the same typs sounds very own brand English and who are all somewhat resembling (which for me is far from being a default, but to love).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 / 3 years and only a Soldano SP77 could make me feel like her!
On OCCAZ 'it puts the 300 to pick up many of its competitors and sometimes even the most expensive (given that it is more reliable hyper)!
I hsiter remake that choice without a single second!
If you like the sound Marshall pramp this is for you ..

I put 9 / 10 because perfection is not of this world and that has shit to have no input jack the rear!

Everything has been said already
Just one defect: no input on the front panel.
a pity


UTILIZATION

Very, very easy to use.
Basic controls: bass, mid, treble, presence, and a bass boost that has a stronger effect on the fullness of the sound rather than the lows, which I love...
Midi is very, very easy as well, once you find the right channel lol

SOUNDS

Well, I think people who say this amp is not for metal are wrong.
There you go, I've said it lol
I have long sought for the perfect distortion preamp... and I've had some, a rocktron and another one, I even have a jackson preamp (not lee jackson but the brand, jackson, like the guitars) but it still lacks that special something.
You just have to look at the biggest bands and they all use or have used it: iron maiden, megadeth, metallica... but the most important thing is to find your own sound and I love the heavy metal sound from 1980, '85 and the early '90s. It's the perfect preamp.
Clean 1 is the one I use, I have my own settings but it is very soft with a slight brilliance to it, but I think you can also achieve a very crystalline sound
Clean 2 is more hollow, but the highs are too much, I personally don't use it
od 1 I don't use either but it's a good crunch even if it lacks some power
od 2 is perfect. I crank the gain all the way up and play with the guitar's volume for different styles. It's great and I can even manage to get a clean steve vai sound, it's awesome. With the mids all the way up I get a very tight sound that I love, and boy does it rock!

OVERALL OPINION

I've used it for a while and I can only say: thank you marshall. You can find it secondhand at very reasonable prices. On the other hand, new it's really expensive, but still less than a TriAxis...
It's a petty good preamp, plus it's really sturdy (I know because the screws on my rack are too short and it's fallen twice already). And it works perfectly fine
Seriously, if you love blues, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, and good ol' trash with a marshall sound it is perfect, for black and other genres with a change of tubes or a distortion before it, it should be good.
Enjoy everybody!!

- Prampli lamps (2 lamps).

- Connectivity well complte:
* Front: between guitar and headphones;
* The rear: output effects loop (parallle), back left and right effects loop, left and right main exit, exit right and left "HP simulation", Midi In, Midi Through, Midi out, 3 or 4 switch -20 db (loop, main exit and "simulation output HP").

- The complete rglages are: volume, gain, bass, middle, treeble, prsence analyzed for the effects loop, "bass shift", the MIDI rglages, a knob and master gnral the power switch stopped.

- 4 channels: clean and 2 OD 2.

- No effect.

- I AIM that the volume of a JMP is controllable via an expression pedals. Nothing really mchant, but am forced to go through my multi-effects to play with the volume ...

UTILIZATION

- The JMP is a MODEL of a select intuitiva The argument is that you want to change, turn the knob data, there has been ...

- It's very easy to get a good sound, custom settings are really their rle, none of the to look pretty.

- The manual is very nice, he explains simply, but as I said dj, the JMP is a pilot very easy.

- The configuration of the southern part is of the same caliber as the rest, trs intuitive and efficient.

SOUNDS

- It is any type of music as long as you love the sound Marshall JMP 1 is because of Marshall, that's it. It is ideal that I like to play.

- For my config, see photo on my profile and Schematic.

- Am may be an alien, but I like the clean sound of a JMP
Otherwise it is the Marshall in the best sense, I will not explain what else do a lot better than me.

- There are a few blows on the OD2 channel that is sometimes Gnant ... with a small noise gate, it quickly rgl ... Apparently, it's pretty normal and only appears on the ca OD 2 (nothing on the other channels), not enough to make me doubt my choice.

OVERALL OPINION

- Rvait I, I, am happy ...

- I particulirement its ease of use, and sound gnral.

- It's the only pramp I tried I did that-l ...

- Purchased in OCCAZ Obviously 'in very good state.

- I would do this choice without a doubt.

Programmable preamp but everything is already explained in previous reviews!
As a rule the 4 basic sounds are excellent, the texture of the guitars totally respected and the settings are identical to those of any Marshall head .. The effects loop is mixable in its direct (12 is in series ).
The connection is sufficient that we can integrate easily into any system and outputs L / R emulating a Marshall stack are very realistic very useful!!

UTILIZATION

Simple setup really made for musicians .. We can change any parameter in full concert!
If you like the sound Marshall lamp, no problem getting a sound regardless of the channel .. Besides the presets have already been exploited or may be the basis ...
The manual is in English, so ....

SOUNDS

I use it in conjunction with the multi-purpose JFX1 inserted into the effects loop with just my Start + + rotovibe wha-wha at the entrance to the preamp ... and the fact that especially for the type of things standart blues quite heavy!! Good for the big metal it looks possible!!
I just changed the two lamps for a gain a little cleaner when I boost the input of JMP1 (integrated EMG afterburner in the stratum), but no other changes!
I love all the sounds clearer than saturated with or without the addition of JFX1 ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it at its output (in 91!) And then sold with the rest of the rack (JMP1 jfx1 9200 + + + hf tuner rack tu50 Nady hush + stereo) to return to something + rock 'roll (jtm45. .. I came back to the configuration JMP1 + jfx1 and frankly, I do not regret it and measures the height bullshit 13 years ago !!!!!!( already explained in my opinion JFX1) .. .
I bought everything in time so the price / quality ratio is excellent!! But be careful in this kind of buying the stuff is brand new pes or warranties and it is always possible to come across problems not mentioned by the seller !!!!!
In fact the choice I had done long ago!!

Tube preamp (12AX7 two, one for the Clean (V1), one for the saturation (V2). Please note that the saturation of the preamp is a saturation diode, lights are just there to color the sound (but we feel is a difference between different brands of lamps). For my part I stuck him in a Electroharmonix V2, and Marshall lying in my stock for the clean.

It is noon, 4 channels (2 clean, 2 OD), effects loop ...

A comprehensive pre-amp.

UTILIZATION

Not need a tray 5 for use. You choose your channel, the gain, the EQ is recorded and shoo!

The same applies to the South, we choose the channel and it's good.

Of gear designed for guitarists what! ^ ^

SOUNDS

Well, well, should be expected, it sounds Marshall! (Well, that's not a surprise).

So we like or not like it! Personally, I found it amazing that little machine! The clean sound is round and warm, not slamming the Fender, but fulfills its role.

The OD1 channel provides good friendly small OD for rhythm. AC / DC to the Foo Fighters

The OD2 channel has an extra headroom and a slight compression, which provides some nice sounds leads.

I used a Fender Lonestar US (Start HSS), and it was perfect for the great big rock US 80/90 's, with the Marshall and more biting.

Be careful to choose the Poweramp with this preamp. It gives its maximum with a good tube Poweramp (VHT 2502). It is a little soft knee with a Classic 50/50. I have not tested one in PA transos.

For those who want to sound Marshall JCM800 for their rack, go for it!

OVERALL OPINION

I have owned for 6 months, sold it to buy a Mesa Dual Caliber (which I think is playing in the same range of versatility, with the grain Mesa).

I changed it only move to a system pedals + head (tired of lugging the rack 35kg), but I admit that I regret it. I buy some new one later.

If you ever find the modified version (with change of the condos, and transistors with good tubes in it) go for it, it's really great stuff, and the amended version is more accurate and more musical.

Try it!

For specifications and review the original preamp, see below. On mine, I made the change, Dr. Boost (chgt condos on the audio line - sixty, ceramic films cons - chgts 15v regulators, amplifiers chgts Ops - 10 in all, the OPA2132 and 4132 to replace TL72 and 74). I changed the lamps by EH and other minor changes to control the breath. At the exit, not really spectacular ... But over time, there is greater precision in arpeggios, sweeps in saturated crunch or even a little push. This is especially the crunch and clean as we gain a better definition. Breath less, sounds a bit more "hifi", more modern (OP amps and condos are certainly something). Warning! That remains the Marshall! In any case the sound is changed. But it becomes more versatile and flexible as thinner and better defined. Consequently, you discover other facets of his guitar playing that lead to other types of uses that most of Marshall. Modif - gear and MO included - must revolve around the 250 €. I made ​​myself a small fifty € uro by drawing samples from the component manufacturers (TI, National Semiconductors, etc.).. Warning! This type of change is still an adventure that n is not within reach of a beginner. It is better to master the solder and the practice of desoldering braid and desoldering pumps. So think carefully before you start it!

SOUNDS

I do rock, variety, jazz, blues, hard ... A little of everything .. what I use it with a Ampulator ADA (I have no amp) on a active speaker Thomann PA302. I think it sends just fine!

Marshall has taken the biggest hold on the guitar amplifier world and completely pissed it down the drain. Sure people will still buy amps from them because they don't know what Marshall is now and they have some a strong hold on the market. Don't get me wrong I love Marshall the way Marshall used to sound. Now they just put out trash after trash. This preamp is no different. At least they discontinued this unit for now. I hope they are re configuring this thing because it sound like trash!

FEATURES:

* OD-1/Classic Overdrive channel - smoldering power will take you from a Super Lead Plexi's molten gold through to searing modern metal.

* OD-2/Modern Hi-Gain channel - tightly focused high gain drive by the truckload. Modern and aggressive, yet fluid and toneful, this stunning channel will give you all the distortion and sustain you'll ever need.

* Clean 1/Warm, Clean channel - for warm, full bodied chords, fat clean lead passages and jazz tones.

* Clean 2/Bright, Clean channel - has the glassy edge of a JTM45 and will give all of the bright, jangly tones you could wish for.

* Each channel includes the following programmable controls: Volume and Gain (0 to 20), Bass, Middle, Treble and presence (rainging from -6 to +6). A Bass Shift option re-shapes the low end character of each channel, too.

* Stereo Effect Loop is 100% programmable from 0 (fully dry) to 12 (full effects) and has level selection (-10dB or +4d) to match your effects processor.

* Each channel and parameter selection is made by pushing the relevant key and then adjusted by using the rotary Master Data control. Once you've dialed in a sound you want to savem simply press the Store Key twice. Recall is instant either from the front panel, via the optional Marshall 4 way footswitch (MPM4E), or via MIDI.

* The JMP-1 has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU connections plus a mapping facility. You can also select the channel (1-16/Omni) on which MIDI messages are transmitted and received by the JMP-1.

* Left and Right Outputs are switchable between -10dB and +4dB.

* Also features Speaker Emulated Outputs.

* Dimensions: 1 U Rack (260mm depth)

* Weight (Kg): 4.5

* Preamp Valves: 2 x ECC83 (12AX7A)

* Footpedal: MPM4E (optional)

UTILIZATION

It does have tubes in it but who would have known. It sounds very sterile and fake. This is a beginners intro to preamps. I know that Janick from Iron Maiden uses this preamp but I'm not sure if he has it with anything else or if it is modified.

Anyway, you can control a host of presets with midi functionality. So it is quick to fire up a preset sound on the fly for gigging.

SOUNDS

The sound you get from this unit is sub par. Many users of Marshall over the years have said that this is Marshall's worst offering that they have ever created. There is nothing this thing can do to make it sound natural or anything like a JMP or a JCM 800. It is just bad!

OVERALL OPINION

It does have a Marshall British tone but it isn't something that you will enjoy playing will. You can find these units for around $500 or so used but save a few more bucks and get yourself a JCM 800 used. Slap a Boss SD-1 in front of it and you will get a tremendously better tone than you will ever get with this piece of tin.

I woulnd't recommend this preamp to anyone with the money that thy are going for. If you get it for free then maybe but save your self some time and effort and just move on past this. If you need decent preamp get an AD MP1 and get it modified for what you'd pay for this thing.

The Marshall JMP-1 is a valve based guitar preamp, offering a single space rack mountable unit for use with electric guitar. It’s great for the home or professional studio owner who doesn’t necessarily want to always set up an amplifier for recording guitars. The unit has two valve tubes (ECC83’s to be exact) inside of it, so you’re getting a pretty realistic sound for something that isn’t actually a traditional amplifier. It’s got ¼” jacks for input and headphones in the front. I’m not really sure what other types of connections it has since the one that we have at the studio where I work is racked up and hooked up to the patch bay already.


UTILIZATION

There’s a whole lot that can be done with the Marshall JMP-1, a lot of which I haven’t even tried to use it for. One of the smaller producer’s suites that we have at the studio complex where I work has one of these in there, and it’s definitely best suited in this sort of setting where you might not be able to use a real amplifier. It’s also great for beefing up tracks that you’ve already recorded with an amp. There are four basic channels in here – two overdrive channels and two clean channels, each with controls for presence, gain, volume, and bass, middle, and treble EQ control, as well as a Bass Shift control which messed with the low end of your signal a bit. Like any digital device, you can store and recall your settings quite easily. I haven’t seen the manual for this, but it would definitely be helpful to have if you can get your hands on it.


SOUNDS

The sound of the Marshall JMP-1 is about as close to a real amplifier sound as you’ll get outside of using a real amp. I’ll always try to get a real amplifier sound when possible, but have been using this here and there if I’m looking to beef up a pre-recorded sound or adding a new part if I’m not able to use the original amplifier I used. I love the versatility that you’re getting with the JMP-1, as it gives you more options than you could get with a traditional amp, and the real valve tubes give it a realistic sound, which isn’t something you can say for most of the units out there like this…


OVERALL OPINION

If you find yourself looking for a device to record guitar directly into your DAW, but don’t want to compromise too much in realistic sound quality, the Marshall JMP-1 is the perfect place to start. I haven’t seen too many other units like this one out there that offer a realistic sound in such a compact box with this amount of flexibility. It’s still not a replacement for a real amplifier, but it’s about as close you’re going to come…
