These demos have been great in helping me decide which amps I wanted, and I have recently purchased a JVM, a haze 40 which is awesome, and an MG2 for practice. So, thanks!
Exactly at 3:03, when he switches to OD1orange, it sounds positively HUGE. When he hits that D powerchord with the added A note on the bass, That thing really screams with harmonic overtones. I have this exact same setup (amp and cabinet) and I can say it completely changed the way I look at Marshall. This thing can handle most anything you can throw at it. I play through an ESP LTD EC-500s, btw.
Paul Gilbert often uses various Marshalls and has given praise for them on various tours. I once had the chance to talk to him about using random amps on tour and he was really thumbs up for the Marshall. Also Joe Satriani has a JVM signature series
I just bought this amp a week ago. I really love it. If you do get this amp, you NEED a noise gate for the OD1+2 channels, I bought a ISP Decimator, its the best pedal Ive ever owned. Cuts all feedback without affecting your tone at all. Highly recommend.
Ok, one of the completely right thing George has done here, if not the most correct thing when demoing a tube amp, is that he has the amp cranked up loud. master volume on 7, channel levels surely about 5. for a 100 w head, it is VERY LOUD and drives the power amp section effectively. ANY tube amp sounds better when cranked, it is a fact. And no other companies do this for their demos, and they certainly lose some "kudos". Marshall is rock, and volume. Period.
Actually, It's amazing how much this amps responds to "touch". After adjusting the force and range of movements with my fretting and rhythm hands I was able to suit the amp and believe me, it got that much better. I personally dislike the demo of the vintage modern by the very same guy demoing this amp but Paul Gilbert (who I've seen live last year) gets a monstrous tone out of it. I guess that's what the world of guitar is all about: what works for YOU.
I love my JVM! Its about time Marshall made a "smart" footpedal. If the cord goes bad shove another cable into the 1/4 inch jacks and your good! The 2 master volumes are great for that solo boost. I have a JCM 900 and TSL 100 collecting dust since I got this amp!! Some good deals out there right now too!
@PracticalGuitar the marshall jvm manual says: NEVER use your amp without a (speaker) load attached when the Standby Switch is ON. Marshall recommends you always leave a (speaker) load attached to the unit. you can silent record without a speaker load attached, but the standby switch must be set to standby/silent recording. also you have to find a way to connect the xlr to a 3.5mm socket. good luck;-)
I understand that Bjorn Golette of In Flames uses the JVM series of Marshall amps, but I don't know what his EQ levels are. He has an AMAZING tone in his guitar lesson videos if you search "Bullet Ride Lesson". There are other lesson videos other than that one but i like the tone in that one a lot.
BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!!!! GOT THE 50 COMBO, ALSO 2xVINTAGE 30 CAB!!! usa strat HSS plus, sennheiser e906, that's it.. LIKE THE STRAT,OR ANY KIND OF GUITAR THIS AMP LETS YOU FEEL THE SOUND YOU HAVE EVER WANTED
Tried a jvm205 against a few ampl at weekend including 6505, tsl, engl, blackstar and a couple of others and the jvm is awesome. I love the dsl50 too though, my next amp is one of those two.
I bought an Hughes&Kettner switchblade. It waisted the jvm I compred it with.Easily" and is warm and flowing,not Stiff and spikey like the jvm. The Switchblade is everything I always wanted my JCM800 to be!
jcm if you want to boost it with pedals and its gonna sound better than the jvm but i would suggest the jvm because of the opportunities of 12 different tones and the midi. go for the jvm!!
Me and my buddies started a band, I use a Gibson epiphone junior, along with a bandit 112 amp. I'm looking for a new set up to give me a nice punk rock to heavier sound, such as Green day, Sum 41, off spring, all american rejects, all time low, taking back sunday just stuff like that. We plan on doing gigs in the future here. If anyone can give me some tips as to what style amps I'd need, and make of guitar that'd be much appreciated!
I would highly recommend this Marshall JVM. The Mesa/Boogie is much more for Metal Rhythm playing. Although it's also great for solos, its very one dimensional (It doesn't have a great clean channel). The JVM can do all that and much more.
@skullchick88 i played on this head in a store and its amazing.the od-2 channel on the red mode does definetly have alot of gain and i think its almost like schuldiner distortion. very nice distortion!!
I think it's bad too. Considering it's such an awesome amp to play. It's just because of the digital channel switching. Since I don't currently play in a band, it doesn't annoy me so much. But if I did, I would actually consider swapping amps. But try it out for yourself, it might not annoy you...But the transition between modes/channels is longer than most amps I have played.
@mattRRgraham1996 first you need to understand is when trying to get someone elses sound or coming close is like hunting for a unicorn. if i was you i would look for an old marshall like late 60s to late 70s. after you get it take it to an amp mod guy tell him you want this sound. plug in turn it all the way up and rock out. to really get this "sound" you will need to mic your cab and run it through a pa or a recording mixer. as you can see this is a live recording and most of the time a record
u r right. it cuts out but only for a millisecond there. the first time i watched this video i didn't notice it to be honest. i was waiting for him to switch to yellow and then red, and he said now let's go to od 2/
I have a TSL122, its a little unreliable and it blows fuses regularly, i'm looking to buy a more reliable one but equally as versatile - would you recommend the JVM series? i'd need the versatility of the TSL but i want to know its not going to blow a fuse mid solo.
HELP! Does anyone know how to take off the metal casing over the tube in a Jvm? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any answers. I even contacted Marshall and they didn't help
but he has a bandanna and a low slung guitar and guitar tattoos and a finely trimmed beard and a singlet vest. He's obviously the coolest dude on the planet :I
What do I have to do to get a similar sound as this guy does on the hard rockin' settings? can someone give me some EQ tips? I'm having a hard time taming the treble beast.
no it isnt.. this is the stock jvm series. Joe Satriani's signature amp is a different model to this, its a version of a jvm, but this isnt joe's model.
PLEASE help me out here. I have a dilemma, Im going for this sound: /watch?v=LmSt1oEIshE but idk which amp would be better for it, (all Marshall) the 1959 SLP plexi, the RR signature model, the JCM800 (which is used in the video, but i dont wanna copy, but a lot of my other favorite guitarists either use it or use an amp like it) JVM410h, or the JVM210h. Im playing through a 2010 gibson les paul studio with a 498T for the lead pickup and a 490R for the neck pickup. please help!!
@MrPeterGroove YOu ever played live? On guitar sound not much bass is needed because when drums, bass guitar and keyboard starts to play and then sometimes even the 2nd guitar if you have too much bass and very little middle you just don`t cut trough mix... Every single PERFECT bedroom sound I made on my amp sounds like shit when played live... it is just lost...
im planing to get a new amp... but which one should i get to play hard rock heavymetal and 80's rock ...the jvm or a mesaboogie triple rect... can anyone tell me????
recording doesnt sound like the real sound its recording. so this is where the unicorn comes in you may be chasing a ghost. the sound you hear may be from many things making the sound down to the mic used to the cables to the speaker. ect ect ect. but what i am hearing is a classic marshallish rock distortion more low end then normal so a good head with highish gain with the lows up alittle should get you close to the unicorn your after
Nothing is better than a real valve (tube) amp. That is why all the software or hardware emulates the classic amps. Some of these (VOX LE, Line 6 POD) get very close but they all copy the real thing.
Buy a used Peavey 5150. Look on eBay or Craigslist. It's the same exact amp Eddie Van Halen used for a lot of his work, it will give you the EXACT tone.
It's not the end of the world I guess, it's just not seamless. I don't want to put you off purchasing this amp, cos it's an awesome versitile and great sounding head. Can you try it before you buy?
Yes you can, you will just need to switch the channels/modes manually. You can use fx pedals and the switch at the same time tho, why exactly do you want to use it without the switch?
I own this amp myself and it doesn't sound weak at all, I don't think you should judge the amp off one demo. Go and try it out. The ONLY thing that shits me about this amp is the cut out when changing between modes/channels. It's a real piss-off. Other than that, this amp is amazing.
Slayer are kinda heavy but against dying fetus the are easy listening! This guy was great to listen to, he was fluent, didnt stumble over words adn he made the demo cool, even thought eh amp is not up my alley
@miketarno A little advice: You shouldn't limit yourself to guitar and amp brands like GNRSlash94. Just use your ears, and do some research. If you're looking for an amp with a classic, mid-range crunch, go with Marshall. If you're looking for a scooped, modern metal sound(which I doubt) go with Mesa Boogie or ENGL. And if you're on a budget, check out Bugera, they model amplifiers of all kinds, but they lack the quality and durability(I hear)of other brands. Good luck finding the gear you want!

@ledzepfan02 On standby the XLR output works so you can use it as a recording pre amp without connecting speakers. Very Handy.

Awesome vid! Finally an in-depth video of how to use this amp! Sounds great ! I want one !

Great sounds, super versatile amp and footswitch!
I love my JVM! Its about time Marshall made a "smart" footpedal. If the cord goes bad shove another cable into the 1/4 inch jacks and your good! The 2 master volumes are great for that solo boost.

This amp looks amazing, I might be getting the COMBO :D
I use a JVM 410h its the Bollocks best amp I've ever owned don't know what I'd do without it,,, Marshall amazing
it does it !! just traded my dual recto for this map and its sweet as hell for metal/rock
Easily the best amp I've ever heard. No one would buy a Mesa after playing one of these!
Guitar ROCKS! Great playing, love the pocket players! Nice
Is that a Carvin guitar?
I'm getting this head with the Dave Mustaine cabinet in january! can't wait =D

I Played on this amp at my local GC yesterday, with a Damien 7. Sooooooooooo br00tal! perfect for Metlz
i had one of these !
sold it for a mesa mark v never looked back
@stonerh as far as I know It's normal. It seems that has been done to avoid the "pop" sound when you switch channel
Tried a jvm205 against a few ampl at weekend including 6505, tsl, engl, blackstar and a couple of others and the jvm is awesome. I love the dsl50 too though, my next amp is one of those two.
@EvolutionThingy not for an iMac though. I use the JVM's XLR right into my iMac's mic socket and use logic pro to record,works a dream.
outstanding presentation
@skullchick88 You don't need any boosting on this amp, it's very coherent and has ridiculous amounts of gain.
Wow, thats the ultimate guitar shop
the amp was set pretty loud which is good cause then you can really hear the charesterictics of the amp/tubes!
I bought an Hughes&Kettner switchblade. It waisted the jvm I compred it with.Easily" and is warm and flowing,not Stiff and spikey like the jvm. The Switchblade is everything I always wanted my JCM800 to be!
His solo was epic
marshall are the best tube amps in my opinion
jcm if you want to boost it with pedals and its gonna sound better than the jvm but i would suggest the jvm because of the opportunities of 12 different tones and the midi.
go for the jvm!!
no, the sound comes out of the cabinet not the head. you will damage the head if you play through it without a cab plugged in
he seems very happy to be there doing this demo LOL
Me and my buddies started a band, I use a Gibson epiphone junior, along with a bandit 112 amp. I'm looking for a new set up to give me a nice punk rock to heavier sound, such as Green day, Sum 41, off spring, all american rejects, all time low, taking back sunday just stuff like that.

@skullchick88
i played on this head in a store and its amazing.the od-2 channel on the red mode does definetly have alot of gain and i think its almost like schuldiner distortion.
very nice distortion!!
I think it's bad too. Considering it's such an awesome amp to play. It's just because of the digital channel switching. Since I don't currently play in a band, it doesn't annoy me so much. But if I did, I would actually consider swapping amps. But try it out for yourself, it might not annoy you...But the transition between modes/channels is longer than most amps I have played.
does this mean when u change between the channels while let's say u go from a nice rhythm to a nice lead that this change is audible???
He pulls off the Slash look well
how's the sound being recorded?
@mattRRgraham1996 first you need to understand is when trying to get someone elses sound or coming close is like hunting for a unicorn. if i was you i would look for an old marshall like late 60s to late 70s. after you get it take it to an amp mod guy tell him you want this sound. plug in turn it all the way up and rock out. to really get this "sound" you will need to mic your cab and run it through a pa or a recording mixer. as you can see this is a live recording and most of the time a record
Great bass tone in the jam at the end there.. nice and fat..
u r right. it cuts out but only for a millisecond there. the first time i watched this video i didn't notice it to be honest. i was waiting for him to switch to yellow and then red, and he said now let's go to od 2/
@NevadaMusicUK Would this allow me to record directly into my Apple iMac, from the amps XLR to the macs 3.5mm mic socket without the need for a cab?
I have a TSL122, its a little unreliable and it blows fuses regularly, i'm looking to buy a more reliable one but equally as versatile - would you recommend the JVM series? i'd need the versatility of the TSL but i want to know its not going to blow a fuse mid solo.
What mic is being used here?
that song they play at the end, its sure as heck is inspired by Joe Satriani, it sounds almost exactly like Crystal Planet in few parts : D
AAAHHHRRRRR Matey! If ya don't like me amp and me electric fiddle, then you'll be walkin' the plank real soon!
Nice to have a bassplayer ye can't hear.
Video proves that Marshall's stays king of crunch!
Check out the Marshall Haze series..A 15 watt all tube beast.
Is it me, or is there a slight delay when changing between green, orange and red modes?
What type of preamp tube are loaded?
My JVm don't sounds like this...
HELP! Does anyone know how to take off the metal casing over the tube in a Jvm? I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any answers. I even contacted Marshall and they didn't help
I'd recommend taking it to a amp tech
but he has a bandanna and a low slung guitar and guitar tattoos and a finely trimmed beard and a singlet vest. He's obviously the coolest dude on the planet :I
@Cloerpictures - Agreed. I even have a Camry and a house. For my money it's my Les Paul through my JCM 900 that makes me go... Booiinnnng.... Enjoy!
I was wondering how would sound this JVM410H with a marshall MC212 cabinet??
@ChanielDang Called Chris George, he's the demo man for Marshall.
i think he only uses the JVm for his clean sounds. Lead an Crunch are comin from an KerryKing JCM800.
the uses the wah like Kirk, as a treble booster or scoop at first, then goes crazy on it.
What do I have to do to get a similar sound as this guy does on the hard rockin' settings? can someone give me some EQ tips? I'm having a hard time taming the treble beast.
what are those giant stacks behind you !!
@wolfgar926 are u okay,have u ever played this amp in person with 2 cabs.
People knock this amp because they are for some reason expecting to hear a Friedman amp...This is a Killer amp that is distinctly Marshall sounding...
wat kina wah is he usin, it sounds really good?!?
is the recording bad or do this amp don't have any dynamics and sound...?
amazing amp if only they were affordable to everyone and yea epic solo
does the footswitch come with the amp?
best amp ever..
no it isnt.. this is the stock jvm series. Joe Satriani's signature amp is a different model to this, its a version of a jvm, but this isnt joe's model.
PLEASE help me out here. I have a dilemma, Im going for this sound: /watch?v=LmSt1oEIshE but idk which amp would be better for it, (all Marshall) the 1959 SLP plexi, the RR signature model, the JCM800 (which is used in the video, but i dont wanna copy, but a lot of my other favorite guitarists either use it or use an amp like it) JVM410h, or the JVM210h. Im playing through a 2010 gibson les paul studio with a 498T for the lead pickup and a 490R for the neck pickup. please help!!
From what I can see, they are the Lead 1960 A and B
@MrPeterGroove YOu ever played live? On guitar sound not much bass is needed because when drums, bass guitar and keyboard starts to play and then sometimes even the 2nd guitar if you have too much bass and very little middle you just don`t cut trough mix... Every single PERFECT bedroom sound I made on my amp sounds like shit when played live... it is just lost...
How do these compare to JCM 2000s? I've always liked Marshall tone, but the 2000s were pretty bad.
hey do u know of any wahs that are realy good for treble boosting?
Depends which cables you are using !
is the jvm the same height as the marshall ma 100 stack
im planing to get a new amp... but which one should i get to play hard rock heavymetal and 80's rock ...the jvm or a mesaboogie triple rect... can anyone tell me????
@wolfgar926 actually MG series are jvm is the best money can buy
@wolfgar926 Marshall doesn't suck. Marshall is #1 for his style.
Whose the dude, i think i have seen him in the back of my Guitar World magazine.
recording doesnt sound like the real sound its recording. so this is where the unicorn comes in you may be chasing a ghost. the sound you hear may be from many things making the sound down to the mic used to the cables to the speaker. ect ect ect. but what i am hearing is a classic marshallish rock distortion more low end then normal so a good head with highish gain with the lows up alittle should get you close to the unicorn your after

how JVM410 fit the column? (sorry for my bad english)
Can someone please tell me how much this amp cost? Is it good for metal?
Buy a used Peavey 5150. Look on eBay or Craigslist. It's the same exact amp Eddie Van Halen used for a lot of his work, it will give you the EXACT tone.
what guitar is he using?
It's not the end of the world I guess, it's just not seamless. I don't want to put you off purchasing this amp, cos it's an awesome versitile and great sounding head. Can you try it before you buy?
i got a cuestion you can use this amp whithout the foot swich ??? because i love the combination with mxr efects. and what is the cost ?
Yes you can, you will just need to switch the channels/modes manually. You can use fx pedals and the switch at the same time tho, why exactly do you want to use it without the switch?
@liambarker12, line 6 simply cannot compare to a tube amp. Or even some solid state amps with one tube in them for that matter...
6:40 is the best!
wait is this tube or SS?
What is this? The No Sleeves Band?
I own this amp myself and it doesn't sound weak at all, I don't think you should judge the amp off one demo. Go and try it out. The ONLY thing that shits me about this amp is the cut out when changing between modes/channels. It's a real piss-off. Other than that, this amp is amazing.
@dynamitesteel I cant quite see for sure....but looking at the logo i think its a LAG guitar :)
is the first channel supposed to be like the plexi?
@wolfgar926 my stiletto out does any marshall I've ever heard. my 79 mark iia has a world of its own.
Slayer are kinda heavy but against dying fetus the are easy listening!
This guy was great to listen to, he was fluent, didnt stumble over words adn he made the demo cool, even thought eh amp is not up my alley
