    60 watts tube amp with a clean channel and a distortion channel.
    quite heavy, the previous owner of mine had to put intelligence casters, I thank him.

    UTILIZATION

    no manual, very simple configuration, two separate settings for distortion / reverb setting clear + (which I put to zero but that's because I do not like reverbs), the clean sound is excellent, and well as distortion ( but I no longer use, now I rather use a boss ds1).

    SOUNDS

    I use it with an Epiphone DOT Studio and a Boss DS1. I play the song and it sounds French punkifiée nickel. at the beginning I used the distortion of the amp but I find it a little too feeble for what I want to play (but that is purely…

    SOUNDS

    I use it with an Epiphone DOT Studio and a Boss DS1. I play the song and it sounds French punkifiée nickel. at the beginning I used the distortion of the amp but I find it a little too feeble for what I want to play (but that is purely subjective and should be acknowledged that this is a good distortion anyway) where I play with ds1.
    before buying it I tried it with various guitars magazin where he was deposit-sale (Telecasters, gibsons ... and even a dobro ozark) and guitars sound great above. Used in concert and rehearsal, it is nickel!

    OVERALL OPINION

    amp not super young but far from senile! it suits me perfectly in rehearsal or concert he fills his role well with the volume between half and a quarter, at home it is rare that I (I leave the rehearsal room) but nothing that 'by playing 0.5 sound is great and stronger, I feel that the building will collapse. if it fits my style, I think it can also adapt to almost any style, her first concert he served throughout the evening to several groups with different styles (noise, rock, ska, punk) and exercised its functions very well so he can be versatile.
    in fact it is the amp that I needed to start and I put my vest top el plugging my dobro and this is the fact that the distortion was the only one not do to me larsenner pushed to consider buying.

    So it's a tube amp out in 1995 if I am not mistaken. 5 * 12AX7 in préamplifaction and 2 * EL34 power, or 60W lamp while.

    The HP 622 has two Celestion Heritage 12 ". I found that both HP for better sound distribution than other configurations available at the time (3 * 10", 1 * 12 "2 * 12" or 1 * 15 "). It is possible to add an additional cabinet.

    It has two effects loops: one series, the other parallel with volume control for both. Spring reverb with level control (not to abuse it, like all spring reverbs). A setting of the presence (very high) is available in rear and is the slamming.

    It has two channels: one clean (volume + EQ) that can cruncher and a boost (drive + Volume + EQ) …

    So it's a tube amp out in 1995 if I am not mistaken. 5 * 12AX7 in préamplifaction and 2 * EL34 power, or 60W lamp while.

    It has two effects loops: one series, the other parallel with volume control for both. Spring reverb with level control (not to abuse it, like all spring reverbs). A setting of the presence (very high) is available in rear and is the slamming.

    It has two channels: one clean (volume + EQ) that can cruncher and a boost (drive + Volume + EQ) which saturates or crunch. A master volume control allows the overall level of the amp.

    XLR DI output for recording, switch pre / post amplifiers ...

    Attention, the power transformer seems to be fragile (mine passed away 5 years ago, replaced for € 200 with the lights). Since no worries, despite regular use.

    UTILIZATION

    It's very easy to use. The EQ (treble, mids, bass) are quite effective and help sculpt the sound well.

    Special mention to the parallel effects loop which allows to superimpose a clear, saturated sound (ala Eric Johnson).

    SOUNDS

    Fans of large disto Marshall, go your way.

    The strength of this amp is the clean channel! there are hints Fenderiens in this amp. Crystal clear sound, a well with a Start or a Les Paul. There crunch in beautiful, very blues, sweet (no need to tube screamer!). It is an incredible transparency: there not plug a guitar or a scratch through or you'll hear all the flaws ...

    However, the boost channel is less convincing. As long as crunch, it is very vintage Marshall, but once past the 12 to the gain, it becomes very aggressive, almost Fuzz. It does not really look like the idea that there is a Marshall. Mission almost impossible to have a big sound to Santana. However, it can get very dirty punk or rock, still very sharp and very precise.

    If I do note that the clean sounds / crunches, it is 9, if I take into account the distortion fuzz, it falls to 7 Marshall reputation not paid ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since 1995.

    I really like the palette of clean sounds / crunches that suit me perfectly.
    It is well suited to the amplification of Pods or other preamps plugged directly into the return effects loop series. Heating of the digital assured!

    You really have to drop the bass distortion with this amp. Damage to a Marshall.

    The price / quality ratio was good at the time (nine paid about 600 €). I hesitated with Laney and Fender tweed. I do not regret my choice even if other amps make me dream today (Mesa Road King ...).

    Everything has been said in the previous opinion that there are only jump 4 12AX7 preamp in.

    a good point for the XLR output offset (with simulation of HP) which gives the correct thing qualque Live console.

    UTILIZATION

    Two channels clean and drive and a true master, easily dosed, which allows the amp to sound mean volume without becoming deaf.

    SOUNDS

    Without claiming a fender (I have a hot rod) the clean is very correct for a Marshall, and the reverb is excellent.

    Boosted channel is perfect for a blues rock style (cream to ZZ Top). on the other hand for extreme go your way, I do not share the view of previous Fuzz.

    This receiver accepts pedals very well. Huber with a metal you can achieve extreme metal horizons without problems. With my Tube Factor, billy gibbons assured.

    I find my JCM 800 that I had long ago .. with a really good clean and more and more bluesy sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought used 600 euros because I have never caught on current JCM 2000.

    Retube with 2 and 4 EL 34 Svetlana 12AX7 Electro Harmonics, I find it perfect to complement my Fender Hot Rod, The change of lamp was very beneficial.

    with one or two pedals (preferably tube) and guitars suited to each style, you can do anything with this amp, really well and use at all volumes, making for an all-tube is remarkable.

    Of course I do not regret this purchase.

    This is a brand lamps, 2 HP 12 "Celestion, it makes much better with only one HP, there's no photo. The fuller, rounder.

    For those who say that 60W is not enough or you are already deaf, or you intend to play at the Stade de France without sound. Because, once fully, this amp will make you deaf even if you are in the room next door, the door closed. An incredible racket. It vibrates so much that the screws will loosen the grip and fall ... It is comparable to a Fender Performer 1000, which was yet in theory 40 W more ...

    Indeed, a 20 watt would be enough for the home.

    UTILIZATION

    Super easy to get a good sound if the guitar is well set.

    SOUNDS

    Its super light and very variable depending on the gain settings. Get jazzy sound and very compressed is possible to over 6 or 7 on the gain.
    The reverb blends beautifully with the clean set on 5. It's beautiful.

    Not agree with critics of the distortion. On the 5, the gain can bcp things. For example, to a distorted version of "Another World" phone - it goes perfectly with my Godin LGX on the middle position.
    In the three quarters, the distortion does not win and you really gain some easily remain unsatisfied side sustain for solos. Moreover, three quarters is the maximum use beyond that loses precision, I think.
    To gain distortion, we must boost the input level, why a good compressor or a good distortion pedal can do the trick as long as you adjust it. Be careful not to push too hard if you break the settings and the sound is disgusting. I get good results with my pedal Ibanez Tube King Tube (distortion, and compression). There, the extreme distortion are readily available.
    For solos, I still prefer a good old JCM 900 with a 4x12 or 8x12 (!) But must admit that the sound of the JCM 900 is very common and hardly original. The JTM, he does not grow on trees and combined with an unusual guitar, the sound character of its own.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Before buying the JTM 60 (4x10 followed by its extension, which is placed below and give a sacred pace to the amp, which is all the same with 6 HP), I tried a couple of Fender, Blues Deluxe and Hot Rod, and also a Peavey I think.
    The Fender was a horror. Yet I had left my Performer 1000, overpowered a Fender, with two channels of distortion, and architexture hybrid lamp for a poor marketing and saturated channels.
    On Fenders, bass were uncontrolled, the equalizer can be inefficient (not already mega-efficient JTM), and distos muddy, unusable. The Blues Deluxe is a crap name, and then I came across a faulty model.

    The JTM has a face of its own, very British with colors, whether for sound or appearance. If it was it takes a crane to carry (24 kg I believe, without the extension, making it 20 if I remember correctly) and the lack of sustain distortion, this amp is more versatile while with real character. To rock a little 60/70 's is an excellent choice.

    This is the marshall who has the best clean sound and I have need to go sometimes on very clean funky rhythm is extra.

    SOUNDS

    I use it with a Stratocaster, a Tubescreamer the beautiful era, a flanger, analog delay and an Ibanez. I add a Wah wah, and it is happiness. Everything is possible, in clear overdrive as fat. I like the sound even if the two big fat well and truly that of a marshall JCM reproduced. Again this amp offers both the clean and overdrive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 years, he and the scne RPTES, it happens. It is a bit heavy my taste but hey, this power is not easy to find more lightweight.
    I had a Fender Champion 110 and a 100 watt marshall valveste semi-lamp before. With this amp I found the best of both into one, and even better than a.

    Amp full lamp, 2 channels with EQ and reverb separate volumes, a serial loop, a parallel loop, a possible extension by external speakers, a presence, 2 speakers Celestion Heritage 12 "and a good vintage amp head. This for outdoor use. Inside, four ECC83 preamp Marshall for 'and 2 EL34 for power. So much for guts. 60W sound that much more: when you mount the master of this combo, it grows!

    UTILIZATION

    For configuration, well it connects, and go! The settings are alone, take the time to try and tame the beast. It's going fast enough.

    SOUNDS

    The clean sound is a marvel. Seriously, this is the best clean sound I've heard Marshall: round, warm, clear, smooth or slamming him all we can do! By mounting the volume of the channel, it goes in and it's bluesy crunch to perfection. Climbing still the master, the sound takes a great dimension. Ah the beauty of the lights ... !
    For the saturated sound is a bit more mixed: as long as no more than half the gain the sound keeps its structure. Beyond this border, it gets a bit messy, almost fuzz. Personal is not my thing and the rock a little hairy is not too much. So I gave recently to my amp a set of 4 vintage 12AX7:
    V1: 12AX7 Fisher (Mullard short plate)
    V2: 12AX7 Tung Sol
    V3: 12AX7 RCA long black plate
    V4, 5751 General Electric 5 stars
    And then my friends, there ... name is D *** it sends very strong at.
    The clear sound takes another dimension in the same philosophy, but even better! I discovered a subtle palette of sound and distorted sound comes close to what you expect from a Marshall dislocates it. Where it was limited to one or a powerful blues rock, the sound grows more like a JCM 900. Ie they can be very wise to his blues-rock-Trust and beyond to metal spheres more ...! And the sound is Im-Pecci-Able.
    8 / 10 before the change of lights
    After 10/10

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp for 15 years, there have been times when I've hardly played on it but find it is a pleasure every time. At the time I could not afford to pay me a big Bouzin but I still made the effort to take an "all tube" and I do not regret it.
    The clean sound is absolutely sublime, especially if you like the sounds hot.
    The crunch is full of promise and its saturated but we can disengage bother and change lamps. For me it was very beneficial and my amp has filled the gaps.
    No, I will not buy another model of another brand or not.
    Yes I would recommend, but be careful not to play it instead of Death eh;)
    No, I do not buy another, this one is going very well thank you!

    A tone monster

    Marshall JTM622 [1995-1997]Published on 06/15/11 at 14:59
    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.

    UTILIZATION

    JTM 60 Valve Combos Features

    Twin Channel
    Reverb
    Reverb/Normal and Boost Channel
    EQ for Normal and Boost Channel Common Separate
    Emulated D.I. Output

    Foot Pedal
    Pre-amp Valves (Tubes) 4 x ECC83 (12AX7A)
    Power Amp Valves 1 x ECC83, 2 x EL34

    SOUNDS

    I love the way this amp sounds with a nice Gibson Les Paul or Gibson SG guitars. 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.

    Master volume is common to both. Effects mix knob for parallel FX loop.
    Presence knob on the back.

    Weighs about 24 kg so beware it WILL rip your arm out of its socket.
    Also, beware this is so loud that it will rattle the handle off if played loud enough long enough...well, it might. It did on mine, and i only recorded one song with it on 10/10.

    UTILIZATION

    - Is the general configuration/setup simple?
    Yes.

    - Can you easily get a good sound?
    Yes. The EQ is not very powerful so it's actually easier to get a good sound than on a model with a more powerful EQ, cos you can't quite so wrong. ;-)
    The reverb is nice.

    - Is the manual clear and sufficient?...
    To do make manuals for amps?

    SOUNDS

    - Does it suit your style of music?
    I'm not into metal, so yeah. You can get pretty much anything out of this except extremely clean or extremely wild. Some nice jazzy sounds, and great on rick with the distortion on 5 or 7.
    This sounds British & 70's i think.

    - With what guitar(s)/bass(es) or effect(s) do you use it?
    Godin LGX, sometimes with Ibanez Tube King compressor or distortion.
    The compressor alone is enough to boost this real well and you can get some impressive sustain for those Gary Moore solos...

    - What kind of sound do you get out of it and with what settings ("clear", "heavy",....)?
    Depending on the guitar settings & amp settings, you can get close to electro-acoustic or jazzy or dirty on the clean channel, and anything from crunch to good old rock on the other channel.

    - What are your favorite sounds and/or the ones you hate?
    Don't hate any sounds on this! Most of the time it's quite good, really. It's not high-class, but one would expect worse given the fact it is nothing more than a cheap tube amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - For how long have you been using it?
    About 8 years.

    - What thing do you like most/least about it?
    It has a sound of its own & its warm. For that alone i am very reluctant to ever sell this.
    I believe that some bands would be jealous of the sound you can get with this thing if you recorded it properly.

    - Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    I tried the other tube amps that came out at the time: the Fender Blues Deluxe, the Fender Hot Rod, and a Peavet tweed something. This was by far the best. The Fender ones were both horrible, bass out of control and muddy sound. The Peavey was close but it was a 1 x 12" speaker and just didn't match the body on this one.

    To get something better you needed to spend twice as much and go for a vintage Fender or Marshall.

    - What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    I paid a good price: 4100 Francs (£410 at the time / 615 €).
    I added the 4 x 10" cabinet for 2400 Francs (£240 / 360 €).
    Not exactly cheap but for that you have a tall wide tube wall with quite a range and enough power to play in most places.

    - Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?...
    I have never regretted getting it and it's provided quite a lot of satisfaction.
    I would never sell this for less than i paid and i would be very very reluctant to anyway. I would also try many many other amps before replacing it.
