    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) …

    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 ...).

    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.
