All user reviews for the Marshall JVM215C

- What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor, ...)?
Amp and prampli lamps.

- What is the DLivre power?
50 watts ... that is more than enough to rpets and concerts. I hesitated at the beginning, but eventually Why this to have a 100 watt we can not push these days? at least the 50 watts, it uses its power more easily. The sound systems are so powerful ...

- What are the rglages, effects ...?
Indpendants Rglages of EQ per channel and the rverbe and 2 Master.
A loop series, the other In parallel, Y has everything you need!

USE

- Is the configuration simple?
On the amp, do not worry, it's Marshall, therefore, could not be more simple.
The rear face is so clear, so no worries.
Only problem, the footswitch is certainly great, but it looks like a complicated settle ... I'm afraid ...
- Gets it easy to sound good?
Just by putting the equalization afternoon with a bit of reverb, the sound is!
The clean is really beautiful! Rverbe and fulfills its job, but must be dosed carefully because it lasts and is quick to make his draft. Nevertheless, I like.
- Is the manual is clear and sufficient? ...?
The manual, I usually do not use it for a Marshall, but saw the footswitch, I'll have to look myself ... but after reading First, it s not me air very clear ...
But am I the apprcier for a manual ?? No!
I put 9 because they could do can be easier ...

SONORITS

- Is it your style of music?
As usual, Marshall will please fans of all styles of rock!
This time they also pushed the cap off overdrive channel because red is really red ... !!
it is even too much ... we approach the gain US I do not like. that's why I only use 3 clear channel / crunch and the first 2 Overdrive channels (green and orange)

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
For now, I have tried with my PRS 513 and my Strato Custom Shop that want to better ?? it sounds item! it is very clear.
I tried quickly with Ibanez chorus loop, it is superb ...

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?
The clean is really superb with a top rverbe.
The orange and red channels are inspirs of Superlead JTM45 and JCM 800 ... so hard to say qua! everything is in the right hand. To you to grate.
After the green channel Overdrive is the equivalent of the Clean red (what is wanted elsewhere).
But my prfr is the Orange Overdrive channel! Typically hard rock 80s.
You want his Guns N 'Roses, it was here that happens!

- What are you sonorits prfrez, you dtestez?
In my case, it was all good !!
Only the red overdrive which I will not use. but ... others will like ...
In any case, it is a very versatile amp and sounds of rare precision at Marshall

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it?
I reu trouble yesterday. I pass though the top and after twelve o'clock the evening. This allowed me to post this first review.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I love everything !! it is Bonus !! I was not expecting ... and my faith, not so heavy that it was ... in fact everything a cheese, but given the golgoths I had before, I saw, and my back told me thank you.
Only problem is the footswitch that makes me a bit scared ... I hopes to I'm going to do, because I have not yet understood ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I hsitais with Bogner Alchemist, I actually had for a month. Well, I do not regret at all to have changed ... it is more versatile and here we have 2 REAL loop effects! ;dropoff Window - P

- How do you report qualitprix?
Very good, all-tube 50 watts I bought 1150 euros is impeccable, nothing wrong ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?
I will tell you later because one day it's much too early, but a priori, I finally found the one I was looking for ... small, powerful, beautiful, versatile, and quality of sounds and of materials is waiting for you ... it's a Marshall !!

SOUNDS

I do not use the clean, I have a fender 65 for that ... I talked mostly about Crunch that is on the same channel as the Clean on paper reads Plexi/JTM45 ... well I don ' 've never had these amps against me by I've used so there I still find that the grain is flat and very rough not enough air is not all vintage, so already the first lie of Marshall, I would not go that some boutique style pedal Plexi Drive sounds better but it is still limited, the weak point is the HP is changing emergency
After the drive channel on the paper reads JCM800 good then I will not dwell but this is absolutely not the sound of the JCM800 to urgently review the SL5 is 100 times better on the drive channel there is a bouillabaisse unnamed grain with a very modern it sounds more JCM900 see 2000, so there second lie Marshall noted that the drive channel 215 is made in the drive channel 2 of the 410c (with more mid boost for lead) and not channel 1 drive is it more in the spirit JCM

OVERALL OPINION

I wanted a kind versatile Marshall amp, with transportable configuration possibilities ... who had a modded 410c 410c I prefer my regret is that against most impressive with 4 channels and HP 2, the 215c was supposed to be the miniature model except that crude foundry amp fails after these promises with amendments why not I have not yet done so, it fills me still a little further back the dosh ... we arrive at the rate of 410C the first change is the HP which is the Achilles heel after the lamps are again ... can also modded the drive channel it approaches the JCM but there must be know a little electronics ...
Overall I do not recommend this amp too which on paper looks great Plexi / JTM and JCM as the 410c could do a little, as the 215c is not

Well, everything has been said below, no need to add more.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.

The manual is clear and well explains the position lamps preamp.

Easily a good sound is obtained. The equa not super accurate either: it is not the mesa.

Personally, I like to limit the amount of channels and compensate with the master. Including the OD channel, it limits the gain a little pig that this amp sends too quickly and allows the guitarist to better qualify their hit / attack.

SOUNDS

So me it suits me perfectly. I play quite a lot actually (jazz, funk, metal) but my specialization remains the big rock.
My guitar = an EC 22 of 94 PRS.
However, some mods are required:

1) Change (at least) the V1, V2 and V5 preamp. Ideally change "all" lamps.
I do not know where Marshall went for their lamps but it is the cat.

2) In V2 (or V1), I put a 5751.
PS: I think the 12AY7 really remove too much gain when put in V1 and make the amp too dry.

3) Change the HP damn! The G12B-150 they have is a fucking crap. It sounds like this draft is not permitted, especially when we send the saturated fat.
on the other hand, in Jazz he is doing pretty good surprisingly enough.

For my part, I put a Celestion Creamback 75 (G12H75), which can collect 75 watts so it does.
I think it goes particularly well with this amp.
- It is clear, which makes it very effective for solii.
- Pretty sharp not screaming for a penny.
- Good record of mediums (handy for a marshall which is shielded)
- Good bass without that resonate too dark result (unlike its little brother the G12H30).
- A good compromise between vintage and modern, although in jazz, he does not do too much.

I had the choice between that and a V30. But the V30 in a 1x12 missing low ... not my delirium.
on the other hand, if I take a cab pti 2 * 12 Moreover, it is very likely that I foute one.
The V30 is fine to "amp" but not to "combo": D


To return to the amp itself, its 6 channels really offer a lot of possibilities.
It is a box to do everything but with the Marshall sound.

Of course there are better amp level.

For example, the distortion of a good JCM 800 is better (provided they burst the eardrums). However, versatility level, the JCM800 is very far behind, not to mention his ridiculous clean.

Ditto for the plexi.

His black cab this point is really missing low, but it is the common lot of combos.
At home we do not care but as a group, must be prepared to invest in a 2 * 12 more. As a head, anything
Black Point # 2 = reverb is worse than average ....

Finally, I could compare it with the Fender Supersonic (another amp that I like).
In all honesty, I find the best JVM. It responds better to the intensity of the attack pick and more. After I like grain Marshall. Those who prefer the Fender sound will probably tell you otherwise

OVERALL OPINION

Strong point of this amp: used in small / medium volume, as opposed to 99% of Marshall amps.
The master is very convenient but could be designed to render a bit more progressive (like the gain knob on the OD channel).

I bought this amp for secondhand 750E. The seller had taken very carefully, thank you to him.
At this price, this is the deal of the century!

After mods, it suits me very well. I've owned / tried a few amp but I found my foot not shoe
I do not think config change for several years.

See other opinions, the site of the brand. Very complete and easy to use.
A note on the serial loop, a switch that allows you to compare the processed sound with the original.
Special mention to the pedal comes who knows almost everything (channel selection, masters of the para loop and reverb, connects with a standard jack.
MIDI to as the pedal but 128 memories.
Master volume damn good that you can play at low volume with its quite acceptable.
The ideal characteristics for me are the 4 channel version in 50w, but it does not exist in this power. Damage.

UTILIZATION

El manual será útil primero para establecer el pedal o usar MIDI. Por lo demás, es lógico. Los LEDs nos dan información sobre el canal y las funciones (reverb, bucle para, maestro) que se utiliza.
Como recordatorio, cada canal tiene tres variantes: verde, naranja y rojo para igualar los niveles de ganancia más importantes y diferentes voces. Para ello será necesario el compromiso sobre la igualdad. Los problemas provienen principalmente debido a las diferencias de volumen entre las variaciones.
En el canal limpio, el volumen es inoperante en el green. La naranja es significativamente más débil que el rojo. En el canal de OD, el verde es realmente tan fuerte como los otros dos son más o menos equilibrada.
Originalmente, la naranja y el canal OD rojo producen un ruido de fondo considerable y este canal es en general menos cargados bajo que el canal limpio.
También hay un ligero zumbido que desaparece cuando se pone una entrada de buffer. Si un técnico tiene una explicación, me interesa.

Amplificador muy versátil para hacer frente a casi todos los estilos.

SOUNDS

Este amplificador proporciona sonidos muy típico de la marca, con muchos medios. Con 6 voces, EQ, presencia y resonancia muy eficiente, podemos esculpir un sonido satisfactorio.
Tél sonido limpio es muy cálido, pero no se estrelló. Los sonidos ligeramente distorsionadas son divinos (cuando amas Marshall). Los sonidos muy distorsionados son un poco más atrás, a falta de definición y la producción sobre todo ruido muy fuerte. Son todavía muy bueno.
Por contra, me pareció una falta general de patata luz y los medios de comunicación verdaderamente penetrantes, sabiendo que si se corta por el EQ, no sale en la mezcla.
Así que hice algunos cambios menores para tratar de corregir estos defectos de menor importancia.

For starters, I changed the HP for a much more dynamic Celestion V30, and I know perfectly behavior. To break her screaming because I installed a Tubetown diffusor, which removes unpleasant frequencies and optimizes the distribution from all angles.
I then tested different lamps preamp and opted for a 12AY7 in V1. These lamps produce half the gain of a 12AX7, so it was an overall reduction of about 25% on all channels. Result: more definition, especially on OD orange and red channels and especially the virtual disappearance of the background noise on these channels. However, there is enough gain to loosen dentures.
Last modification on the advice of Gillou Lyon, I installed in KT77 power tubes. They produce more bass and a little less mids, the sound is (a little) more "HiFi" less English and more American. They also twist later than EL34. However, the sound is very rough and is not fundamentally distorted.

Once these few things done, I'm really an amp for my taste, and whose main drawbacks are erased.
I would note 7 to the original config but with 9 mods (within reach of everyone, even welding to do, just a bias of the power section)

OVERALL OPINION

Se utiliza con regularidad o vivir en casa, este es un amplificador que suena profesional y puede caber fácilmente en una mezcla. Se acepta fácilmente distos OD o externos, aunque tiende a aplastar a su fuerte personalidad. Sin embargo, respeta las guitarras que están conectados.
The production is neat and faithful to the original design of the brand guns, finally rather simple sophistication is ultimately for the selection of channels, the signal path is traditional.
Once adopted, when testing other amps, they often find very bland compared to it. The value for money is evil in time.
Odd that its flaws have not been addressed in the design, there is nothing complicated or frankly insurmountable.
This is not my main amp, but spare a luxury. I'm not ready to part with, I love it.

type of amplification: Any Lamp
50 watts
extensive connection
no effects, just reverb

UTILIZATION

The controls are fairly simple, plug and play virtually
we obtain a good sound quickly
not need the manual
it has 3 modes per channel (green, orange, red)
for each channel: gain, treble, middle, bass, volume
two reverb
two master (super convenient)
a presence and Raisonnance

SOUNDS

yes it is in my style
super versatile
a beautiful crystal clean, we have a little shape to her well-posed in the bass!
one little e play everything from blues, pop, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, thrash
just a shame the sound is not modern enough (c why I sell)
I love the two channel mode Orange, with a gain pushed, we can play good guns in n'roses up megadeth, metallica!
oragne mode of channel 1 is almost useless for my taste!
I use it with 3 jackson:
one randy rhoads Japanese
Japanese warrior one
and Soloist USA
obviously everything sounds better with the soloist and the amp meets perfectly the instrument!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years now
I tried a peavey 6505 has no lights and it was a shit, cool! targeted metal too ... and still not great sound!
best on this amp and its versatility and much needed 50 watts concert anyway transplanted on the sound!
I paid € 1400 it's a little expensive anyway!
I will not repeat that choice and I orienterai rather to the German Diezel and ENGL

To explain the sounds I made reference to famous artists
Lamps 50W amp, I see two channels instead of 3 presets

UTILIZATION

Said one channel rather crunchy and the other hardrock.
I prefer the first channel or a crunchy settings is the channel clear
which is fine and without distortion (type shadows or chris rea).

the other 2 of the same channel distorition carried out by the tubes is becoming clearer.
for these two is the will to go for the Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray for example (I've got a stratum).
After the first preset of the second channel ca still okay distortion type black desire, trust.

then the last 2 to USW may be but not for me a little feedback and ca ca snores big distortion.
The reverb is ok 2 master volume.
I would say very versatile amp for all kinds of music My rating 8 / 10

Marshall gets worse in price.

This is the same amp as the JVM 210C but with just one speaker instead of two. You get the same features and tone but just in a more compact cabinet and smaller tone.

To me this amp is better than the four channel. The four channel is a bit of an overfill for me since there is a lot of replication in the channels. The two channels is the way to go with this series. Still though the amps sounds cold out of the box and you will be inclined to get a new set of tubes and biased for more warmth.

SOUNDS

The only problem with this amp is the cold stiff feeling right out of the box. This is typical with Marshall's in the new box. They need a bit of setup to them to get them to sound warm and more usable.

This amp takes off where the JCM2000 left off. I much more prefer the JCM2000 but this amp isn't too bad. It has more flexibility with midi and the effects loop controls. Plus the voicing in each channel is a nice touch to dial in exactly what you want. I like the red channel on the gain channel. It is pretty heavy and thick sounding. A bit noisy with this amp compared to the JCM2000 which had some noise but not nearly like this amp. It is due to the amount of gain on tap of this one compared to the 2000.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a fun amp to play. Not too much to get confused with and not too much to get overwhelming that would distract you from playing the amp. At new these amps come in at around $1599 which is a bit more than the Marshall JCM2000.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a good sounding Marshall amp but doesn't want to get a Plexi and a JCM 800 or JCM2000. You can get almost as close as you would get to those tones but in just one amp.

any lamp, everything has been said I think.
Persso I see 6 channels.
With it he covers by 50w it's harmony and are foil drums, and even in the small room is down ...

UTILIZATION

well designed, despite the fragility of various volume pot and knob, the switch will keep longer functional.
I used to say, on stage, at home for the volume I do not really benefit. (Sound and still).

SOUNDS

Big sound that is so plain or saturate.
For a really big push its false saturate the Beast (volume) pedal takes my "sound", but it takes effect analog to not distort the sound of the lamps, I board quickly stop the digital effect in the fx loop, itchy behind the preamp and scans all at once.

When the sound is pure bliss for those who like the British are.
Just what this amp has himself, funk, rock, pop.
The bread does not forgive, but the expression and the velocity of games takes on another dimension that we control that provides a fast and crazy fun.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first all lampe.3 weeks after purchase and crushing in all directions to find I board my sound (I play in several groups, each with a different style)
it remains a sticking effects pedals worthy of the name, chorus, delay, saturates more metal than it offers, go have to invest ...

So like everything was said and that there are hacks around to describe, and it makes me drunk, see above!!

But to be exact, it lacks nothing, most will even be equipped to part with some pedals (volume boost and other distos), and those who want to put across (like MIDI and other effects pros) are Instead of 45 tons to cram everything they want, it provides ultra and especially once a great brand does not make you buy stuff where certain features are useless if you're not equipped. Let me explain it may be noted that the effects loop "serial / parallel" can serve as the 3rd volume in assigning the footswitch (read the manual) if nothing is logged on.
In short, the weight of components used for once !!!!! Especially we feel that everything has been done to make the monster ULRA functional, with the real desire to put the signal in a box with cotton to retain its purity. (See the tips of the leaflet). QUICK! Nikel! Take a compass for some manip 'qd same.

UTILIZATION

When I embarked I repeated 30 minutes later (note that I was ahead for once). I just read the config for the pedal history to go faster ... And there! Magic was operational 15 minutes later the tps to understand the settings, I assigned channels and forward! The plug n play is feasible all with his beautiful !!!!!!!!!! I took the time to set the next day, and I FINALLY found my happiness after 30 poor minutes, it is very versatile on the settings a bit of ass you change everything, I did not believe it but, If vrrrai it! (I started from zero with knob)

The manual is not super clear the best way is to fiddle with to understand, but good hand!

SOUNDS

I play a les paul and my sound is fine for everything I want, I spent my aprem rest to play all styles (jazz, rock, hard, heavy, metal, death , garage, pop) and each time it was nikel. A small flat on the orange clean mode is a bit soft cock, but hey it's super exploitable!

OVERALL OPINION

He tenido cinco días y puedo decir que por fin me detuve mi búsqueda de la marcha. Estuve tanto potencial que hay que perder! Siento que un futuro brillante por delante! Lo que me gusta es su definición, todo está claro, por lo general los arpegios no les gusta la distorsión, pero estoy en el culo es tan limpio, que tiene casi miedo porque usted espera que sus errores más pequeños, como por ejemplo cuando el ingeniero de sonido que pone demasiado hacia atrás y se oye en la manga que toca las cuerdas hacen perder el tempo. Cualquier acción en la guitarra se devuelve! El clavo que al tocar la caja de resonancia tiene su momento de gloria!!! No sé si estoy demasiado, pero estoy realmente sorprendido por tanta delicadeza! Estoy en Orange, y me apoyé en un Vox, pero luego me vine abajo!

Really at least try for fun!
And this choice I would do without hesitation!
If Clooney was the marshall AC resemble pubs without falsehood: "JVM, Wath else"
That's it!! "Wath else
