Good quality of contruction is solid. As against the finish is not at some high-end competitors (like Mesa Boogie, for example), but the price is lower, with sound quality that are well established and have the same reference. I put 9 for that reason alone.
UTILIZATION
For the record: Victoria = James Marshall JVM. James Charles Marshall (JCM) is Jim Marshall, the one everyone knows. Victoria is her daughter.
4 channels, each with three levels of increasing saturation, visualized by the color of the corresponding LED, gain tone, Reverb, Resonance, Presence independent for each channel ... just by writing it gives a headache! In short not easy to use, it takes a little time to make adjustments for each channel and especially not after all that disrupt! For beautiful against versatility and opportunities.
The manual is clear and once you understand it's not complicated to use.
Sound: beautiful, regardless of the channel. So many possibilities there is something for everyone (taking a little time anyway).
SOUNDS
What is the JVM-410? The new flagship combo Marshall today. It draws its glorious elders and goes further. On the pre-amplification circuits found JTM-45 and JCM-800, for the amplification stage he took the components of the JCM-800 and Super Lead. On channel 1 we find the clean sounds very vintage with a not very special Marshall: the tone controls are pre-gain (and not post-gain as usual in the constructor). That provides a wider sound range. Channel 2 is more conventional and incorporates the sounds of Plexi JTM-45 and JCM-800. Channel 3 is a JCM-800 pushed to the maximum, and beyond ... Channel 4 is dedicated to the sounds Mrshall the new millennium: more gain.
I play rather heavy but also lighter. The clean channel is beautiful and is alone worth a visit. For channels saturated, it y'en for everyone: the dirty crunch to the metal edge and the bare metal drop-C, there is everything you want with excellent quality always.
An amp to do everything, but mostly that does everything very well.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several months.
Amp versatile, with multiple parameters, not always easy to adjust, but everyone will find the sound he wants, with a little patience.
Sound: beautiful, whatever the configuration.
The price: more than 1800 euros is not cheap, but it is an "all-tube" and if we compare to a Mesa-boogie such (more expensive !!!), it's very interesting. Marshall is a legend affordable compared to some competitors, with a sound quality that has nothing to be ashamed. Although the quality of finish is back, but when you plug it in and you close your eyes, it does not care.
I put 9 / 10 because the use is sometimes made head (the price of versatility).
A great amp for everyone.
