All user reviews for the Marshall JVM410H

see other opinions or manufacturer's website, a Swiss Army knife guitarist loving his marshall.

UTILIZATION

4 channels each with three mode (green orange red) increasing the gain. a clean, a crunch, a od1 an e OD2. manual a bit light for those who have never used a head with a choice of ohm for hp and for the management of effect loops. programmable pedalboard with childlike ease.

SOUNDS

I play rock / hard rock: acdc, guns, slashes Snakepit, pink floyd foo fighters and this amp fits perfectly with these styles. od1 orange gives acdc without red OD2 problem gives gary moore ... tt case with alnico pro2. And this is important because the guy that I bought some channels was very difficult to use gain with humbuckers while I should be me wonder. Small flat for the crunch channel is bland without adding an external equalization and a touch of Db2 boss. Excellent, both master volume. I used for a clean and cruch and one for od. I take a point for the cruch that does not really suit me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and it suits me wonderfully. The only real problem with this amp is the neighbors because although it can be used in volume 2, the higher up the volume the sound is more enjoyable o). Those who post reviews saying that this amp is bad have either
- Ear problems
- The bad stuff upstream or downstream of the amp because hp, guitar and pedals are important. (Eg alnico humbucker vs) I just bought an EQ pedal and it gives yet another dimension to this amp. and if a bit is added to the compression was OD2 and sustain an infinite precision in picking in clean
- Musical tastes that do not fit with it as for the rock as described above, it is just perfect.

All-tube amplifier
Connections: 1 hall, 1 loop, 1 noon, the output cab to 4, 8 16 ohms!
Preferred connection: the midi input that I use with my boss GT8 connected via method 4 cables + a midi cable.
Thus, the GT8 provided modulations, equalizer ... and head provided the sounds ^ ^
3 types of sound arranged by channel
3 channels arranged
It covers quite a range of sound!
Reverb
Presence

UTILIZATION

I have bought the Used without the manual.
It took me download one to use midi function (loggings that go with)
After some manipulations, some tests, we understand and treat.
As opportunities, that sounds as effective settings!
Obviously there's LE Marshall, but "not that".
We can get out of this beast a very distinctive metal sound.
I am not 10 out of 10 because it larsène loud when the volume and gain are high (my regular use) and c is THE negative for me. (Maybe the lights are tired)

The sounds are fa bu lous. We really pierces the mix on stage. A treat.

SOUNDS

This head is perfect for my style of music.
A share may be extreme metal (?), I do not see what kind of music it should.
But it covers all styles after me.
What sounds do you get?
All clear sounds, all the crunch, all Satus
It is coupled with all the guitars that I could use:

Gibson:

"Les Paul
studio (490/498)
classic custom (P90)

"Flying V (496/500)

LTD:

"EC1000 (Seymour duncan)

"KH602 OUIJA (EMG 81 and 85)

Cabinet:

Marshall JCM 900 LEAD with 4 V30
Mesa Boogie Rectifier 2x12 horizontal
Without his super clean to saturated most high gain is really an experience

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and a half

J was able to play on peavey 5501 (?), Hugh and Kettner, ENGL Powerball, Bugera 333 xl.
And for me, the jvm is the best in all respects.

I'd like to try a Mesa Boogie, a NOS or a Diezel to compare.

I use it with my Boss GT8 so the footswitch is useless to me. It seems complete and easy to use hyper. One more point then.

Equipped with a knob for adjusting the bias it deserves a 10 out of 10, and even 11 out of 10!

I find the new prices of all heads "upscale" exaggerated, so I must go with the second hand market, so in these circumstances, I repeat that choice closed eyes and ears wide open

It is near perfection with all parameters adjustable and recordable possible. I would almost say it is too.

UTILIZATION

The facade can be frightening, but after all, the principle is the same as a mixer, it works for every one therefore is not lost.

The pedal is easily configured (all connected by a simple jack to the south, Marshall hit very hard).

Malrgé all, I still say that it is a gas plant in the sense that the choice is too wide among the 12 channels!

Note the presence of two masters: ideal for solo.

SOUNDS

Some sounds are overstaffed so I will speak of my favorite sounds. It's simple: there are 3.

1. green channel 1: the most beautiful clean at Marshall undoubtedly (ideal for use with pedals)
2. channel 2 red: the typical crunch jcm 800 (if one should retain only one, is that there)
3. channel 3 orange: the most saturated sounds of the mark but still well defined

With these three sounds, I toured my needs. Note that the reverb is gorgeous and does not cut when changing channels. I found the eq quite effective and the presence of general settings and outline handy to quickly adapt to an environment without affecting its various basic eq.

OVERALL OPINION

In my opinion, Marshall has succeeded the encyclopedia of rock / hard rock / metal in a single head, noon please.

This version is too powerful in my opinion, version 50 watts is more than enough for any situation (and gets rid of unnecessary crossing canals).

I owned the JCM800, JCM900 and JCM2000 on and for me, the jvm contains all the sounds there without exception. I repeat that the clean this amp is superb.

Nevertheless, I am separated because this beast is too powerful and too provided (it feels a little forced to use everything, even if it is impossible, so it's frustrating).

In the end, it's still a great value (or reference) and I do not regret my past aquisition.

The JVM 410 is Marshall's flagship 100 watt powerhouse. Following in the footsteps of the JCM 2000 series, the jvm has much more that the dsl or tsl ever did. The JVM comes with 4 el 34 power tunes and 1 ecc83. Four preamp tubes along with an awesome footswitch.

UTILIZATION

There is a lot of versatility built into this monster and the sound possibilities are controlled via four separate channels all with super versatility. The channels are clean, crunch, od1 and od2. Each channel has three modes leading to incredible possibilities for sounds. Reverb for all channels as well as two masters, a resonance and presence. Of course it comes with volume, bass, mid, treble and gain for each channel. The panel is a bit daunting at first and it does take a while to get that hang of things. Once you do the JVM 410 has limitless sound possibilities.

SOUNDS

This is by far the gainiest amp that Marshall has ever put out there. There is no lack of bass power as well. The resonance is a nice touch as anyone who mods old Marshalls can tell you. This is usually the first mod anyone adds to beef up the bottom end. It allows Marshalls which can be a bit thin sounding, ramp up the low end to compete with the power and throw of a Mesa for example. It just gives you a lot more depth, especially when playing more modern rock which needs to be a bit more bottom heavy and tight sounding. Marshall did well in listening to the people who have been asking for this for some time. The channels all have so many possibilities; there is no way someone couldn't find a tone they were looking for. Speaking of tone, this series is tonally more pleasing than the JCM 2000s were, they did a nice job here as well.

OVERALL OPINION

I would say that this amp can really do it all and is a great product for sure. Very versatile and sounds incredible. For the gigging musician, there isn't much more you could ask for except for on board effects but the effects loop pretty much lets you integrate effects pretty well. Only thing is that it does take some time to get used to all of the controls, buttons and dials. The JVM 205 might be better for those that don't need as much and like a simpler set up. Some say the 210 sounds even better than the 410. Only other thing I found is that the loop was hard to get sounding exactly transparent like some other loops I use often, the metro loop being one of them. Other than that the 410 is a great choice and will not disappoint.

All Tube amp (preamp and amp)

Effects loop, preamp out, power amp input, line output "HP simulation" (XLR), Input and MIDI input for the pedal-switch comes with the JVM 410.

- 100W lamps.
- 4 channels with 3 different modes of saturation / gain for each (normal, boosted and boosted +).
- A reverb per channel.
- 1 volume per channel (preamp).
- An equalizer "Bass / Mid / Treble" channel.
- Two different master volume (using either one or the other) for example, switch from the "Rhythm" to the "SOLO".
- A presence for HP.
- A resonance for HP.

Everything is configurable using the pedal comes with, when using the MIDI connection

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple. I set six different sounds with the pedal, and all my knobs are now fixed (location markers sticker on each knob . Once the config 'and settings for each entry found sounds wanted, they are registered with the pedal 6 presets and it's good!
I am so a panel of 6 different sounds so I can cover a wide variety of musical genres.

SOUNDS

To me the sounds obtained with JVM410H fit me perfectly.

I get the best of my sounds playing on the neck pickup (severe) of my guitar (Gibson SG) and the Red channel Crunch mode

The sound is very warm sound with good bass rebounded, the very dynamic game, the pick of the attack on the strings .... the sound goes from soft to aggressive round and warm, sharp and just as hot: D

Personally I do not play with the channel OD2 red mode, this makes it overly saturated and it becomes unstable, it becomes too messy, perfect for making all inaudible intricacies of your games. But maybe it depends of the instrument plugged in, then I can only speak for myself.

OVERALL OPINION

Good amp for versatility in all-tube version.

I first played on a Marshall 80W transistor (nothing to do, both in respect of that decibel sound quality with JVM410).
Then I opted for a Fender 95W transistor in, and agrees that any comparison with lamps signed Marshall. No regrets for my visit to any lamps.

I still had some trouble on the head JVM, which earned me the two went back and after-sales service. Faulty lamps easily

We must also say that this amp (in full) is heavy and cumbersome when several times a week must go to room requisitioned. Now living on the 4th floor of a building, the idea of ​​me restart in group I refute the idea of ​​having to at least three went back and to fill the car and ditto for redécharger.

And finally, it is a 100W amp at ALL LIGHTS! Therefore ideal for playing live without using consoles in concert ... but difficult to exploit the warm sound when played in either lamps along neighborhood. A lamp needs to warm up and then being pushed to be heard!

Head lamps all four ECC83 pre-amp for, for 83 1ECC rverb, 4 EL34 for power
announcement for a power of 100W with no problem but I would say 100W muscular.

UTILIZATION

At first the "bte" imprssionne the faade is full of a button, one wonders if he will not have to call Rick Wakeman JM Jarre or to initiate. And no! everything becomes clear quickly, the doc is well made and well translated.
The factory sounds are not bad dj. Finally IT WORKS NOW !!!!!!

SOUNDS

So ..
The strato 1976 in hand, the jack on the other, red is used, the more that insrer jack in "input"
And presto! done
Remains the ultimate step ... switch the "STANDBY" when anxieties .. I was right in 1750 dbourser?
plouffff done and l!! and l!! moment of pure happiness, strato dlivre rgal a real ear (with the sounds of factory)
Forgotten the 1750
MESA BOOGIE F50 forget the previous ones who have done that go back to my store ---
This is a receiver who knows how to take

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, every day, and I am still discovering all jours.C is my opinion the amp of references in the price range. No need to pay a Mesa you will not get more.
The crystalline sound + sounds the most Hard everyone will find happiness acoustic
I also plugged my TAKAMINE TAN10C it and it works great.

UTILIZATION

In beginners, you sail in the canals and in a haphazard fashion, always finding cool sounds. Then we come to know the best sounds available DIFFERENT and was quick to program its 3 / 4 prfrs sounds, each time with the corresponding volume on the 2 states, and the reverb that goes .

After a few time you get master all the options. And the possibilities are infinite programming noon (I use my Tonelab LE Carrrie a place of pdalier provided for at the same time have the Tonelab effects in the loop and a large number of presets arranged .... something crazy ....).

Not everything is super easy for beginners (including configs a little complex with a pdalier noon and effects in the loop), but any guitar enthusiast will find his happiness soon!

SOUNDS

I jou top with a little while, LP, Melody Maker, Start ...
All these channels allow each to have truly magical sound. I play mostly blues and a range of clear and crunch is almost complete. By varying the tone and the presence of two knobs and resonance (gives same sounds ... fenderiens particular sounds quite close to the Bassman ractions ..
I have now more than two strats over which a Jeff Beck, I have everything I want on hand!

OVERALL OPINION

Only BMOL, the XLR output emule that I did not use Russi ...

I use the combo with two HP and Vintage Heritage, a planted SM57 .... wonderful. With all the channels, the HP 2 DIFFERENT, I can get almost any sound in my head right now ... I use it in the apartment, and unlike the Vintage Modern, which needs to be pushed, no problem to feel the heat lamps and the dynamics of the Marshall circuit. I went through a lot of other amps (Laney, Fender, Roland) I finally found my happiness.

I had a budjet of 2000 euros to buy a new amp.

So I tried the JVM 410 Head and finally I came away with a JCM 800 biensur nine.

The JVM has a modern Marshall (JCM 900, JCM 2000). They say a lamp while it is filled with electronic transistors and worthy of a Line6.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple.

- Gets it easy to sound good: Yes that of a JCM 2000

SOUNDS

I tried this amp with my Gibson Custom Gibson and my micro micro EMG Jackson.

My style is composed (Seether, Muse, 36 Crazyfists, Evanescence) and this amp is for the Rock and Hard Rock.

IT'S NOT AT ALL AN AMP FOR METAL (the gain is, but not enough precision).

As long as we stay in the Marshall Rock the gain is good, then we use the new channel that has a lot of gain is horrible, what draft (for metal).

This amp is a JCM 2000, which has a lead channel that has a lot to gain solos but not rhythmic.

OVERALL OPINION

To conclude:

I assure you that the JVM 410 HEAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A JCM 800 which is a true all-tube mono channel.

I will put a score of 8 because if it is used for the (rock, punk, hard rock) they are a good modern Marshall.

All lamps, 100 watts, 4 channels (3 modes / channel all midi switchable or the pdalier supplied), two effects loops ... The total ... Not making the top, it's marshall and easily found its mark, not 150 switches to refine this and it was feeding, the EQ is sufficient and very effective.

UTILIZATION

4 channels + three modes / channel = sore head? Not at all trs is actually simple, 3 minutes in front of the amp is understood. The sound is Marshall in his heyday, but modern (versatile). Only the program provided the small pdalier ncessite reading the manual, has taken about 20 seconds and the problem is rgl.

SOUNDS

Okay so I just tried the JVM410H, and I began to dj in ct sub ... IT'S A FUCKING KILL THIS AMP!

The clean sound is good rev is not a blackface, but frankly at a boogie or Engl ... (Edit: it's better and much rgl is super clean, it's "fender clean" even ...). I think the clean channel and the three modes is trsrminiscent sounds of David Gilmour as rglages diffrent eras and of course uses the guitar ...
The crunch is good to excellent according to the trs rglages and tastes ... One can find the crunch trs LIGHT hendrixiens or a little more carefree supported typs Texas ... AND the will or has bitten the big German brands Rican and is on the drives ... So two things:

1) I need not Russian Exceeds half the gain on the drive channel and I could do whatever I wanted, in every shred of sense of sweep, hard close-ups rock while passing in a game absolute flexibility
and

2) the effectiveness of an EQ is absolutely Redoute, or you can REALLY dig the sound as grazing and rglages CONTRL of rsonance prsence and add more versatility.

And finally the grain is just standard ... really close to a JCM800 in Strode, growth hormone and nitrouze, a bit less aggressive and much more modifiable home. I found without difficulty the sound of Zakk Wylde, Doug Aldrich, George Lynch, for example, but also those of the old Metallica albums, Malmsteen, and some grains, however, that typical Petrucci plays Boogie ... It was not exactly, but close ... trs trs And many more .... The EQ is effective vritablement and suddenly playing on midrange and treble is played on bagpipes and the same grain can be dirty or smooth grain envy ...

A black dot?

two.

1) no power rduction type TSL 100 or going from 25 watts output with a switch, which is great practice for small scnes (in return for the amp sounds great low volume)

2) I thought I was not able to say one day but there is almost too much gain and as a result if we attack through any block, there is a prpare acouphne families since the amp hook quite easily Feedback with gain more than half ... So try to gradually ... Personal gain between 3 and 4 and me more than enough.

OVERALL OPINION

Okay so then, I conquered ... I tried lots of things these last 10 years saying, there must be an amp that sounds like a marshall in stroides and not cost 4000, and then I never found So like everyone else, harder to saturate overdrive, it's good looking but the more ... Marshall returns and will bleed in the gutter ... for 1400 is not even bother to look for the Competition, y 'no ...

EDIT 7/10/07: Well we can play BTIS: yes it is an all-tube, the only electronic content is the MIDI and switchage, the audio stream it is 100% bulbs (except the reverb ). Compare this to the amp JCM2000 is logical, but not really cohrent, the JVM has a more modern design than the 2000 (trs amps unfairly critical but poorly supported by marshall them even saw how bias taient r gls lamps factory and provided that the amp taient not adapted at all. These are good amps nanmoins of trs trs and I am happy with my TSL100 10 years) and especially the management of the gain is compltement Different. L or 2000 ncessitaient volume dcoller the pltres to sound and often a front for overdrive fit a little gain, the JVM is intgralement self-sufficient ... Rpond intgralement and the expectations of a modern guitarist ... To you to form your opinion by trying it, read all the opinion of the world will not tell you how it sounds, and there is that which has a ... And above all, warm up before you go, has to be worth at the top to play this monster.

I do not m'tendrai on the bte CHARACTERISTICS, I suppose if you made it this far your is that you know a little what it is ... Just some basic info:
100 W lamps, two effects inserts (parallle / SERIES), four separate channels, each with three modes (green / orange / red) which is minimum 12 sounds DIFFERENT, pdalier programmable channels and Marshall 6 above, all programmable via MIDI !!!!!

UTILIZATION

We enter the heart of the matter ...
Marshall, who used to deal with the Intellectual fnantise scratch using the above made simple! It is not immediately apparent by a forcment ahead dashboard full of buttons that suggests we will have a factory gas grate but that is the case. In fact, it would almost Whereas we have 4 amps DIFFERENT grouped into one and the same unit. And took indpendamment, there is a classic Schma Vol-Treble-Mdiums-Graves-Gain ... with three options for each channel diffrent its "green" - "orange" - "red" that affect the gain level (plus it goes to red and the greater the gain of the channel). To all this is added with a rverb numrique SETTING THE level, a "contour" (like loudness) and one of potentiomtre prsence adjustable for all 4 channels according to the ( s) speaker (s) utiliss. It also has two master volume, in short is the top: a simple and effective!
Ct connections, nothing very original, still simple. There are two effects loops (one programmable), a cable (jack) to connect the pdalier provided and a SERIES of possible connections for the (s) speaker (s) ... Between instrument and many sr.
And does not even complicated to program sound (as I remind you that this is the one of the main advantages of this amp: it is ...). Fully programmable No need to be a pro the south, just be "guitar" (that is, an IQ of 45 is more than enough ...) and read the user manual of three pages in French (and many translated into more, it's not so frquent ...). There are two options:
1/Vous use the amp alone (or at least no effect twelve o'clock or twelve o'clock pdalier external) you can program six DIFFERENT sounds accessible via the Marshall pdalier provided. To do this, you do your rglages, turn the knobs in all directions, press 3 seconds on one of the switches pdalier, is ay!
2 / You use peripherals noon because pdalier, both sets ... Even simpler: APRS have the religious head amp midi (IN) with (s) peripherals (s) (OUT), you do your rglages you select a program "effect" "pdalier" ay is it in the bote !!!!! No manipulations do not channel rgler Droulez swallow and menus, just watch, listen, play ... Deadly!
The intrt? Is empty: we pass a click sound Mtal no punk hyper saturated with heavy reverb (which is not my cup of tea but ...) and 500ms delay in the Mark Knopfler with rverb compress a bit of background, each with its own effects carefully planned in advance by your little finger enjous ... All shades of legalization, volume, gain are possible within the limits of available memory 128 ... I tell you not walk with squence noon and Program Change ... Y amme need to pdalier, sounds change all alone in gr music that dfile and I have plenty of time to concentrate on the essentials ...
In fact, I've had three days, and I know the amp dj on the fingers so everything is easy. Marshall has really trs trs fort. It gives me the rve watch what I expected for so long and what is the plutt or sounds, the toy is no exception either!!

SOUNDS

What can I say? Everything is possible! With effect numrique simple (I personally use a G Major) we obtain a panel of sonoritsdlirant. The saturation is most important for me always but I do not want a dirty trick, I'm in the register plutt Lukather, Van Halen, Gilmour and Co, Gary Moore, Andy Timmons ... I do not play many sounds "crunch", I want the real distorting pure and flawless, sometimes with a little chorus and delay a lightweight. L I have everything! And when I venture into the register Hendrixien, no problem either, simply meter the gain by playing between DIFFERENT channels and their respective modes ... It's really trs trs fort! And yet, I have currently a cabinet "unworthy" of this toy dj hell and is standard!
In terms of its clear, I had a lot of amps and setups diffrent, I have never heard a. .. Who said that Marshall could not make his clear? The crystal blues hot oil, there is the time to spend to get what you want. Although sr, I play the guitar and I Vigier going well but I am sr that even with a shovel, a ring!
The only BMOL is that you need the appropriate mix of DIFFERENT effect levels, the amplifier, the gain and possibly invest in a noise gate worthy of the name (I personally Hush 2 pm) in order to push back the gain and get all the distorted sounds without any limitation. But this is the case with all amps that have!

OVERALL OPINION

Well here I will say one thing to finish: forget everything you could connatre before, I have a premium Rivera, a Fender Hot Rod, I had several Marshall I n ' I t never a huge fan but the one worth dtour and especially, its MIDI-ct is unique. I do not mean the price is expensive but we certainly worth the money ...

Simplicity of use copy
Sounds of hell either plain or saturated (never heard anything so good and versatile)
Sounds even without the 1960 A to go with
Sounds even low volume
Deadly!

Is what I would do this choice?
Ben j'hsite l. .. Finally, Carlsbro c'tait lot too ... really cheap ... and the more they sell at Aldi! (You see I do not bump in Marshall!)

100 w, 4 channels with 3 modes each, so 12 sounds at the base. power tubes? But, you are in Marshall EL34 see!

Question rglages, may scare the beginners. For each channel: 3 band EQ, volume and gain, and the famous three modes. You can assign each of these modes of reverb and / or the effects loop or anything. I think we can also assign the gain, but I'm really not.

A prsence gnrale and rsonnance (bass management) and two master volume.

UTILIZATION

Frankly, they were strong in trs trs marshall, they really secous neurons. The specs posters are penss, trs intuitive but also very practical. There is a connection noon, but you end up wondering if this is useful.

I think we could not think of a better head. And I did say in one day, especially since I'm plutt "not complicated head with 2 channels and basta!"

Do not count if you want to use all channels of the Marshall substance given to the master 1 and 2 functions of volume changes between rhythm and solo. It is possible, although sr, but they actually have a intrt other, I will return.

SOUNDS

You have all seen BMD Site Marshall I guess. Sincrement, I do not know how he did it for her as a ... bof what. In any case, it has not all the possibilities of the beast in value.

No, it's not a JCM 2000. It does not actually worth a 800 (but in this case, buy a 800 point), but it can do more things, and much better, I got that the well heads 3000 channels most expensive in the market. We can not expect a head which offers 12 types of sounds (because it is not only a change in rates proposed by the saturated modes), it has the personality of an amplifier cr to produce a single sound. So this is an amp "boutique", authentically Marshall, ncessitera finger to give it your personality.

Clean channel: Its not only amazing for a Marshall, but also in absolute terms! The lens to bluesy, 3 modes (green, orange and red) are usable, with nice bass the fender.

Canal Crunch: We return a universe more "marshall" dirtier. From clean to crunch of good quality. It may even push a filthy vintage overdrive. I am less convinced by the green, but all the modes are great.

OD1 channel: Canal saturated marshall more standard. We'll crunch the mga saturated. Red did not convince me, I find the prfre "Graoua" about how orange, and green for the rhythmic crunch / overdrive "cleaner" than the crunch channel. The red mode (as OD2 for that matter) is too loaded may be appropriate for some mtalleux solo.

OD2 channel: I think it is not the "suite" of OD1, but another overdrive, which more INTERESTED. Ms. capacity of saturation and rpartition modes, but the grain is more "boutique" us, marshall sauce. Apprcieront Lukather fans. Ms. apprciate on modes that OD1.

After a few trials, it seems to me that the best award we can give to master 1 and 2 and to destination, a channel to clen and crunch, and the other channels od. The first two ncessite that "plays" the volume more than the gain channel to sound, while the overdrive gain jous be a lower volume (corrected so the master, relax guys) for DEFINITIONS keep (especially given the rate of distortion) and avoid feedback and hum all goes. For a single player, you simply switch between the modes of the channel, a TRS is effective without being radical.

OVERALL OPINION

First of all, let's be clear: if you do not like Marshall: Why do you read this notice?
And what's deuxio of references? No, you will not find in it the sound of Petrucci. Do not expect a Marshall that sounds like a boogie. They tried with the TSL, we have seen your exact ...

Brief. At this price you will not have the either the ultimate bte can do anything (no matter the price, has no any fawn). Its config the foremost intended be a scne amp, giving you multiple sounds below the elbow, with excellent quality for scne, suprieur I got to the "fighters "I've kind of essay and cheaper too. This amp is not designed for the studio, as have a real plexi, a jtm45, a 800 under the elbow for the "real" sounds. Sr it, but it's more expensive too.
PS: for an amp not full of electronics, and 800 have, DSOL you have to play in Class A on 5w amp with just a volume knob, and use no pedals boost transistors with these horrible ...

Well everything has been said ... this is my first stack, so I'm not an expert in the field ^ ^ 'j'appuirai just the fact that the head is in a great thought ... I do not know if it could be as complete and simple! I saw a lot of other heads, and that is one of the most successful issue intuitive!
for its many settings, 9 / 10 (a mesa is not either, it could be better but the price range does not allow it)

UTILIZATION

Use super simple, each channel has its settings, you connect, set a bit and it sounds. I did not have the manual but with really no need, except maybe for programming noon and there are still fiddling ...
because of the 12 possibilities of sound, you can quickly and easily find his life ...
I vosi not much to complain about the above, then 9 / 10 for sound (see below)

SOUNDS

this amp is very versatile, which implies a lack of personality certain ... everything can be addressed without pretensions, no problem, blues, funk, rock, metal ...

The clean channel is pretty good in green mode is crystal-clear, great with the stratum, the very clean clean. mode orange, small distortion on the clean, perfect for a funky rhythm like a lot. mode red disto nice, small but nice enough to send ... I find success in short channel

CH2, the crunch ... I do not like the masses, it is very cold, it lacks real heat and low ... it's just my opinion, but the three modes do not really believe me ... It sounds short but it is neutral, cold, nothing to do with a nice bluesy crunch well

OD1: celel I use mainly. Mode Green is a distortion crunch that dc not super interesting, and way too many red gain, ca breath is not manageable. So orange mode, gain a 6 or 6.5 and it's not bad. slight natural compression and well marshall, it's cool to rock and hard, but not accurate enough, or for cutting metal

OD 2: same goes for the modes, the green and red I Zape. So orange is the OD1 channel with less compression, sharper, more accurate ... better for metal, it's really a distortion directly.

basically, I use the clean channel with my Start, with 3 modes (green = clean clean clean orange = rhythm a little dirty, red = crunch)

crunch channel I use not

OD 1: Start with the solos, rhythmic RG, LTD and paul

OD 2: just to the metal with the LTD and RG

through programming noon and has a Z-15 from ENGL, I have a versatile amp, which agrees well with each character as scratches

7 / 10, but it is neutral, too bad breath and channel distortion crunch

OVERALL OPINION

after 2 years of use, I am more able to be sincere
for the price, it's a good versatile amp. do not look for a receiver with character, not a beast of his, is a head that can calmly deal with everything for a good price with the huge advantage of being programmable by noon and have 4 independent channels.

Likes: versatility, the first channel, the distortion goes everywhere OD1 channel, the possibility of noon, the two effects loops (serial and parallel), the affordable price

I like least: the crunch channel, I find useless, breath ODs on the canals, lack of personality (by changing the lamps for less gain can probably catch a few), the rating may be a bit of nasal grain in general ...
is a very good price / quality ratio, I do not regret my purchase. Now I'm more attracted to a Mark V, but I do not spit on the JVM that is really a very versatile amp, accessible, although not excellent.

Specifications mentioned elsewhere.

Do not be frightened by the number of buttons on the front panel: its configuration is very simple but offers plenty of possibilities.

With a power attenuator is required for home use.

UTILIZATION

On stage and to repeat them.

The major advantage of this amp is to get under the foot switchable four separate amplifiers.

Personally, I use mostly the first two channels (Clean & Crunch) that can be compared to a Super Lead Plexi and a JCM800. So of course, purists will tell you that it's not worth the originals. But they will be right for the stage and rehearsals is an excellent compromise. It avoids a walk with four heads ... !

SOUNDS

Marshall is the pure juice and trendy so obviously it sounds ... No need to dwell.

The overdrive 1 & 2 pushed into the red does not suit me (too much saturation), but rather a history of music style I think.

OVERALL OPINION

For me, it really is, to date, the perfect stage amp. It can be really what you want. It's been a year since I have and I have not tested all possible configs.

It allows for four Marshall amps for less than 1400 Euros, ca does not?

SOUNDS

I play on a team with Allender PRS Signature Model JB SH4 and SH6 Distortion.
And a 70's Start reissue vintage microphones.
The head is connected to a 1960A.
Channel 1, Clean, Green LED position: Its super clean, great brilliance worthy of a Fender Twin
Stratum married Obviously trs use.The harmonics are also apprcie riches.La PRS.
If we add a little rverb, we can get the sound of Steve Vai Tender Surrender.

Orange LED Position: lightweight crunch sense to approach the old ttes.Mme SYPA if the grain is, it's not really convincing, go to red.
Red LED Position: L there is a greasy blues sound, with a little rverbe not bad at all!

Channel 2: Crunch
Green: a lightweight crunch, typical of the brand
Orange: the same but with more gain
red: we have the sense of JCM rplique 800.J 'really in doubt even if there was a lot of gain and it is enjoyable and that all of the same dcoiffe well.

Channel 3 and 4: OD1 and OD2

Green: a sound with less bass
orange: the same but with more gain
red: L was a major distortion, m ^ me by reducing the gain, was something of trs bon.Seul BMOL, this lack of bass compared to channel 2.
If we add the rverbe we can go in solo trs good bills.

OVERALL OPINION

I'll try to be as objective and impartial as possible:
I have been using for over a year doonc I step back from the machine.

Channel 1: trs it's good clean sound. Plus the instrument will be good quip and good microphones, the better sera.Mais same with a guitar sound that first prize.
Mode orange: not useful as playing for red and use the volume of the instrument for the determination of gain.
Position is more than correct red (with a wah it can do a good Led Zep or Jimi)
We have the IMMEDIATE grain recognizable and quite bold.

Channel 2: mode only rouge.Cela like the JCM800 but not the 800.
Nammoins a good slap right mme.Mais for the solo and it will sustain pedals to add a disto.

Channel 3 and 4 (this is exactly the same!). Only in red. Sorely lacking bass, with a gain of 3 hard, but if you put on 7, has the drooling, but it its charm.
The rverbe is especially useful in clean and is of average quality.
The pdalier is robust
The buttons on them are really mdiocres is unacceptable for the price (I have a head 1978 which buttons are much stronger ...)

For résumé while dpends Obviously the available budget
For less than 1500 was a good rev head amp is versatile trs. It can go from blues, rock, rock rest until mtal.Le Obviously the field of pr dilection must be clear the above.
APRS is all about son.Une got the Gibson and a Start will ring well above trs.
But for someone who is branch rock, big rock, hard rock, channel 3 and 4, because of their texture will not be used.
So the second question APRS price is: do I need 4 channels?
Then I find the diffrence of modes in the channels are not gross rev.
For the same price, it is better to move towards a head 2 channels (1 clean and 1 OD)

I do not have that choice would do with the exprience, but gots voluent and financial resources also.

For my part I am totally rethinking my Systm because I will run on 3 amps (a 1978 head on a 1960A for the clean / a JCM800 head on NOS 4x12 for crunch and Rhythmic / a Mesa Roadster 4x12 in a NOD for heavy sounds)
But the budget is not the same.

For an overall rating, I give a 7 because even if I like Marshall, I'm not sure that the JVM will mark the spirit as well as the JCM800, 1959 and SPL. (Fortunately for that matter)
We are dealing with a copy of the Roadster in the design of MESA.
I'm not one of this amp but I urge you to try several before in the same price range.
