SeriesMarshall JTM

Back in the day when Marshall made amps that sounded good and took the time needed to build high quality amps not just fast quantity amps they build this little combo. This amp is a big surprise to me because I generally don't like the combos that Marshall has come out with. The sounds very sterile and boxy to my eras. However this amp sounds just as good if not better than many boutique amps out there today. It boggles the mind why they decide to stop making amps like this and think that the MG series is much more worth the time and effect. Well the real reason is they make more money off the trash amps that fit to more people's budgets rather than sticking with quality amps and keeping their integrity.

It fits the rock tone and compliments my playing very well. This amp sounds amazing with a solid classic rock tone that can get anything from the 60's and 70's rock tones. The tone is warm and rich full of great harmonics. I like the tone especially playing songs from AC/DC or Led Zeppelin. This amp nails those tones without any problem what so ever. OVERALL OPINION Marshall has seriously got down he tubes in recent years...no pun intended. Their amps has a bland cold tone that sound harsh and flat whether its in your bedroom playing or even on stage. I have played most Marshall amps that are currently in production and only a few amps sound anything like the old ones. These are not new amps so you'd have to find them on the used market. I have no idea what the going rate for one of these amps are used, but I highly recommend picking one up.

This is a puzzling option to have in a guitar cabinet. You usually don't see or hear a 15 inch speaker coming out a of a guitar amp like you would a bass amp. yet the clean tone of this amp is much better in my opinion to most Marshall amps. Sounds more in the ball park of a nice Fender clean tone.

Same great features as the other models but will be a little looser in the low end than the 10 inch speaker version.

This is the second head I had ever purchased and my first all tube. My first was a solid state Fender Stagemaster and it blew on me and this combo fell into my lap for what I thought was dirt cheap. Five-Hundred bucks for the head and cab. The JTM600 was awesome when I was playing it through a buddies "Rhino" 4x12. I was using that combo when I was in a hardcore band and it blew me away. The Rhino just had better quality speakers than the Crate. Overall this Head has never given me problems and made it through two one-month tours in 07-08 and I still use it to this day. New Tubes obviously but that's all that I've to fix in it.

I bought this amp second hand off a friend for £150 (Pounds Sterling). This amp is now discontinued but I figured its worth reviewing as on the second hand market these amps is pretty popular. I use it with a Epiphone SG400 with dual humbuckers. What can I say? 3xEEC83 valves in the Preamp for that lovely vintage creamy Marshall overdrive. I like the fact it’s pretty versatile in terms of the sound but for me it suits my style perfectly, which is vintage rock/blues. I like the set up where the boost channel has a gain control and then its own volume control so you can crank up the preamps volume for seriously loose vintage sounding overdrive. I also like the fact the clean channel has its own gain control so you can go from a lovely clean bite to a vaguely aggressive marshall style overdrive. Coupled with a 1x12 speaker, reverb tank for nice sounding natural reverb this is a killer amp and a good introduction to more serious sounding guitar tones! I personally typically set my gain to 1/4 way and preamp volume to 3/4 of the way round and this gives a really cool vintage crunch. It also has a emulated D.I output which is great for recording. I know I should be more helpful and say what I dont like about this amp, but there isnt really anything. Its only 30 watts so obviously someone who needed more power for large gigs would want something with a bit more welly but this suits my purposes fine. Typical Marshall build quality. I know for a fact this amp had had its fair share of kickings and its held up fine. Mega sturdy casing and reliable electronics. Its a little on the tatty side but thats just general wear and tear thats pretty unavoidable if your gigging something. This amp is best suited to vintage sounds I reckon because the gain it provides doesnt really go as far as metal. In saying that you can get a pretty cool modern sound by scooping the mids and using all the gain on the boost channel you can. Its fairly basic with just two channels and reverb. This amp as I said is fairly versatile and I've used solid state amps that are meant to emulated the valve sound and I was convinced, until I heard the JTM30. A brill little combo with bags of bite and that all important Marshall valve sound. If your after proper tube tone then this amp coupled to a Les Paul of SG will really give you what your after and a second hand one shouldnt cost you nearly as much as the latest Marshall valve combos.

This is a great little combo amp that features two 10 inch speakers and 30 watts of power. It has the same great tone and features as the 60 wattage version but just half the power.

Another interesting thing about this amp is the effects loop on the front of the amp much like some amps from Peavey. To me this it too much going to the front especially if you are micing it up.

This amp has the same great tone and features as the 612 or the 615 but with a one 10 inch speaker. This will tighten up the low end a bit but have a generally similar tone. It will be better for Fender Stratocaster players or someone with a single coil because of the tighter bottom end.

- For how long have you been using it? 8 years - What thing do you like most/least about it? It sits perfectly well under my JTM-622 (2x12) tube amp, colours are perfectly matched. Adds fullness of range to my JTM amp and just looks reeeaaaal good. :-) - Did you try many other models before getting this one? Nope, i wanted this one & went straight for it. - What is your opinion about the value for the price? Pretty good!! - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?... I wanted a match with my amp and there was no other choice. This 4x10 cabinet is made for the JTM series and goes well with it. The JTM-622 has body & depth thanks to the 2x12" speakers, and this adds more frequencies and just gives you a sonic wall so the sound comes out from all over the place! This, btw, is a 120W RMS 16 ohms cabinet.
