Marshall JVM - Is This Marshall's Most Versatile Amp.

[@michalkysel4351]

I bought JVM215C last week. This amp is perfect! Worth every cent. Best investment I did in the guitar gear.

[@gaztaylor9682]

Great demo of a great amp! I've owned a JVM410H since 2008 and I still love it's tone and amazing versatility. My dream is that Marshall produce a down sized 20 watt version that keeps the features but loses some weight...at my age I need all the help I can get lol

I've played my whole life but do to not being very smart,I can only work menial jobs and eek my way through life and therefore can never afford a new guitar or nice gear. I come to channels like this to dream. Great playing. Such a wonderful sound. Thank you

[@ronaldbaldus4761]

You can get them used for around 1000- 1200 bucks.

[@RH_Guitar]

Amazing demo! I’ve run my JVM 410H as my one and only since about 2011!

[@BenCaffrey]

I have the 210H and it’s hands down the best Marshall I’ve ever played. I tend to stay on the crunch Red channel and boost it with a Timmy set fairly clean with a bass cut, I find this gets rid of any ‘sediment’ and cloudiness in the red mode and it’s just like a fantastic 800 rock tone.

[@vjenkins6815]

I have the 205C and it's nice. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 210H to have for bigger venues. Should I stick with the combo amp or invest in the 210H? Or just get a 210C?

[@rangsansrirat8433]

Your review got me in the mood for buying the Marshall JVM205C soon.

[@Terribleguitarist89]

I'm a Mesa Mark series guy but there's something with the JVM tonally that sounds like the perfect mix of Marshall and Mesa to me.

[@Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

Play one in person, you will love it. Plus, JVMs go pretty cheap used, like $1000-$1500. Alot of amp for little money. Love mine.

[@Thewhistleracousticband]

Excellent review, as always ! Love thé JVM, great amp ! For sur. Thanks fort that

[@nigel900]

It’s a great amp that’s unfortunately overlooked. I’ve been using one for 14 years now, and I’m still finding new and amazing tones. Not long after buying it, I upgraded to Mercury Magnetics transformers and added their choke… like going to high fidelity! Great video.

[@amandasnadel]

Owning a 410H and LOVING it. To me THE amp I´ve been waiting for. a true soiund-library. from recto-style metal to classic rock to pristine cleans. it covers ANY musical style with excellency. imho.

[@kevincourcey813]

Pretty amazing string definition even on the red high gain setting. Chords still sound good.

[@zakklee2556]

This is the amp that saved Marshall. Playing technique is the ideal. You should upload some technique videos.

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

Love my 2012 JVM 215C, and not just because it has my initials on it. I use the clean channel with just a touch of dirt and boost it with an OCD and Lovepedal Eternity. I also run a line from the effects loop out into the effects loop return on a modified (effects loop added) '68 Bassman. The Marshall pre-amp through the Fender power amp sounds incredible!

[@glenn4658]

A very helpful video! The best demo I've ever seen. You've sold this one! Gotta have it. That PRS sounds and looks killer!

[@richard66754]

I love my JVM 205C. I’ve had it for close to eight years.

[@MartinStephensUK]

so how quiet can you turn it down on the master volume and will it sound good. Will it go to below 80db in a room?

[@michalkysel4351]

@@MartinStephensUK Definitely yes. If has about 90 percent of tone at bedroom volumes. These beasts have slightly compressed poweramp, so you don´t need keep it into powertubes limitation level for thick and sustaining tones.

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

I have a one watt JVM from the 50th anniversary series. It’s the same preamp I think. Does it all great cleans and sweet breakup on the clean channel and more distortion than I will ever need.

[@reneotten7376]

I use that amp daily and love it. With volume at 5 it's more than loud enough for my bedroom and with volume dimed with windows open my neighbors cry 😂

[@odgeUK]

My favourite JVM Channel is only on the 410. The Crunch Channel in Orange mode is very JMP. A shame they didn't put that channel on the 205.

[@angusorvid8840]

My favorite Marshall on the planet.

[@IamMusicNerd]

For my money, the most versatile Marshall ever made was the Valvestate line. It’s an analog solid state amp with a tube amp’s power section, tuned to sound and react like the old Marshall tube amps. I have a 1997 VS30R 30 watt version. It is insanely loud like a tube amp, but unlike a tube amp, it still sounds good at lower volumes. So at home I can dial it down to 2 without having to use an attenuator, and it still sounds just as fantastic as when its on 8 or 9 at a gig, just at a lower volume. And it’s far lighter than a full tube amp. The clean channel is incredibly clear and brighter than most Marshalls, almost like a Magnatone amp’s clean tone. The Drive channel has the classic Marshall grit. There is nothing fancy though. No effects loops, no midi, etc, just separate controls for each channel, but it takes pedals extremely well. Definitely the most versatile Marshall I have ever owned.

[@lazmonti]

Love these Marshall reviews, Paul. While you are at it, how about the Marshall DSL40 Combo. It has Clean/Crunch, and Lead1/Lead2 channels. It has great cleans and gets very dirty for a lot less money. Each channel has it s own reverb also. If you do get to review it, perhaps use a Boss OD-3 instead of the Tube Screamer for a boost, or if you cannot get your hands on one, then a Boss SD-1.

[@jackwest5295]

I had one of these for 10 years,, a great amp .. best used with the foot controller..problem is it weighs a ton and most of the time you end using just one channel as a pedal platform..I traded it in at Andertons for a REVV D20.. they gave me 300£. for it , Should have sent it to Aus and got $$$ for it ..

[@0megalul309]

You don't need overdrive pedals with a jvm. Just put a delay in the loop

[@truthfactreality6814]

I’ve had 2 jvm 410 heads. Had to sell first one when money was tight. I bought it again though. It’s one of the best amps out there. Wish Marshall would do a 20 watt version like they have with the others but keep all the features of the 410h. You don’t need pedals with this amp really.

[@blakjack3053]

Best Marshall tube amp since the 2203 imo

[@nedim_guitar]

Oh man, this amp sounds great! I have to check it out, see if there's a place where I can try it myself. I'll also have to see if they've got smaller ones, 15-30 W. I like those smaller amps.

[@todddugansguitarchannel3546]

This dude makes everything sound great. I love the JVM's, though. Had the 50 watt 1x12 combo at one time. If Marshall comes out with a studio JVM, I'm 100% in!

[@michalkysel4351]

I have the same model, 50W 1x12. All JVM models, including this one, are capable of great tones even on low volume settings. This is one of big advantage of these amps, you have one amp, which you can bring to rehearsal room, use it on the noisy stage, and you can also record it without turn it up to max. And, you should also practice at your bedroom on the same amp, without tinnitus and bleeding ears.

[@todddugansguitarchannel3546]

How timely! I just got the 1 watt JVM combo. Its sick! Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q566g5qYZ8Z1qpYsi=Z6GRBHYrPGw-761S@@michalkysel4351

[@billhannum4117]

I have the 205 h and 4x12 1960a it really can nail jtm jcm and beyond its a criminally under estimated amp. It sounds amazing and has more gain than most hard-core metal heads will ever use and the cleans rival my fender amps.when this series was released it was way ahead of its other counter parts but was over looked because marshall had been kinda late to the game and relying to much on its older series . The Mesa and 5150 craze had been going on while marshall was still counting on the jcm 800 and jcm2000....in the midst of the high gain movement so I think marshall had been out of alot of the people's mind for a while but this is a master piece of a amplifier in my opinion it can really do any sort of genre . The foot switch is fantastic and way ahead of the curve . Maybe it was Marshall's marketing ? I dunno but they can keep their evh and mesas and the rest I'll keep my marshalls

[@sdw1979]

Hey Paul, versatility aside, how would you say this compares to the Studio Series from a sound point of view?? Best wishes, Sammy

[@guitariste47]

Great playing. Lovely amp

[@fedup3449]

I might be wrong but i think this is an upgrade on the DSL40. That has all the same features and layout except 1) separate EQ for clean and OD channels and 2) the DSL reverb is a bit wimpy. For those of you who agree, i got major improvements in the reverb by sticking a TC Spark in the front of my pedal chain. It seems to boost the reverb which was always on 10 but now seems ample at 5. As for the 2 EQ controls, do Marshall really need to charge the 100 extra for a better reverb board? One other issue with the DSL (not alone here) the on off switch light packs up. Not a real problem when you can see the channel selector lights.

[@soulriderleo]

Great demo and great amp!! If using a Midi Controller, can it become a 6 channel amp, utilizing all the different channel modes?

[@StefanBoeykens]

Have this one for many years, yet I need to invest more time in playing with the amp sounds itself. Too loud for the home, but works amazing on live gigs and rehearsals. I usually play the clean channel and feed it with an old X3 Live, with a complementary amp and fx. Tried the 4 cable methods, but there were too many places where volume was sucked, so I tend to keep a much simpler setup these days.

[@helloyu6270]

The master volumes don’t allow for home use?

[@StefanBoeykens]

@@helloyu6270 I'm glad that there are Master volumes, but it really shines at louder volumes. It also has a bypass for the speaker, so you can make it completely silent and use its line-out into a console or audio interface. I never play it loud at home.

[@helloyu6270]

@@StefanBoeykens is it possible to get enjoyable bedroom levels tones with the master volumes?

[@blacktoothfox677]

It's a very sophisticated but bit of backline, considering it is really just a crunchy Marshall! (By which I mean, it's not a modelling amp or whatever... It's just a valve amp with typical modern Marshall front-end gain..) - You demonstrated it really really wonderfully BTW, keying in on its primary features. Now, I kinda disagree with one thing, as I happen to be playing a super-tight JTM45 set real clean, like fine bone china! 🍀 but I will admit that there on the JVM sounds amazing from this end of the recording! Enough that I intend to examine it again next opportunity. It does sound characteristically Marshall-clean to my ear though, I have to say. Great video man, awesome channel!🍀 Wish mine were as good!🍀

Great demo of a great amp. Did you used the built in line out for the video or an IR ?

[@BAMozzy69]

I have the JVM410c and its an incredibly versatile beast - more so than the 205. It has 4 channels (Clean, Crunch, OD1 and OD2) with each having 3 modes like the 205 but obviously you get more Channels. The Green Clean is very Clean and then you get a different gain structure with Orange/Red giving a bit more crunch. The Crunch channel has that JCM800 and a hot-rodded JCM800 options for me, then the OD1/OD2 get more and more 'Gain'. So you have everything from the 'very clean' to ultra High gain all in one....

[@markr8326]

Hi Paul, I just returned the DSL40 because clean channel didn't impress, alot to do, I think, with the reverb being almost non existent, does the JVM have "enough" reverb in your opinion ? If not, can you recommend which Marshall series might have more reverb capability than the current lineup (...I read a few forums claiming the JTM 60 gave great cleans,not sure how good the Reverb was. I prefer not to use pedals ,like overdrive & reverb all in one unit) Thanks so much for the demo, sounds great my ears thus far.

[@TheStudioRats]

The JVM is really usable with the twin reverb. The reverb sounds great but it is a digital reverb. Personally I prefer a digital reverb to spring but some don’t.

[@FernandoCosta-mo7of]

I`m sold on this amp. Know, there are two versions; the JVM215 with 1 X 12" and the JVM 205 2 x12" Celestion. Which one to buy? Is it worth the price difference?

[@atozee7189]

Buy a £99 Harley Benton MFC-100 or any cheap midi controller and you have full switching control over this or any JVM amp. It’s like owning a 6 channel amp. With midi you can have any mode and combination of the panel switches recalled in an instant and you don’t need any midi knowledge. Every amp should have midi but it doesn’t. Marshall had the foresight to make this amp midi capable and leave the others in the dark ages regarding switching. . The midi footswitch itself is a mild annoyance for about 5 minutes until you set it up. I have the 215c and it’s the best sounding amp I have ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot of them. This blows them away for the sheer amount of classic amp tones in one box, and with midi, it’s mind blowing what can be done with a basic simple midi control.
