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

- In today's video, I look at the Marshall JVM 205C. The JVM range is Marshall's flagship range of amps with midi switching dual master volumes and digital reverb. In this video, I look at both channels with the 6 modes to see how it sounds.
JVM205C
Intensify your tone with the JVM205C. With three different modes per channel, this 2x12” 50W combo can take you from clean to high-gain overdrive and anything in between. The pairing of one Celestion Vintage 30 and one Celestion Heritage speaker creates a warm, powerful blend that perfectly complements the amplifier. Whether you’re experimenting, performing or recording, this versatile amp is the complete package.
KEY FEATURES
SIX DISTINCT SOUNDS
Two channels, each with three gain modes, gives you access to a wide range of sounds and almost-endless options for refining your tone. Along with the three-way EQ in each channel, the Presence and Resonance controls let you shape the tone from the power amp.
THE HEART OF YOUR RIG
Connect a host of effects pedals and other external gear within the JVM’s two effects loops. The first loop is adjustable to let you perfectly blend your effects and original tone together. JVM amps can also receive and repeat MIDI commands for ultimate control and synchronising with the rest of your setup.
STAND OUT SOLOS
Use the two master volumes and built-in reverb controls for exhilarating solos. Instantly recall your mode and reverb settings with the programmable footswitch (included), giving you power and flexibility exactly when and where you need it.
SILENT RECORDING
Take your sound from the stage to the studio with the flick of a switch. With the JVM in silent recording mode you can hook up to an interface or mixing desk to capture that perfect take.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

That tone!!! Digital profiles can take a hike!
I bought JVM215C last week. This amp is perfect! Worth every cent. Best investment I did in the guitar gear.
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
Lol, I know what you mean. I'm 76.
@@msaintpc lol indeed...Marshall we love you but please take note and help us out ;-)
the 205H 50W weights 17Kg

@@wesleyc.4937 still weighs 50 pounds
The first 30 seconds may be the reason I finally buy this amp.
Amazing demo! I’ve run my JVM 410H as my one and only since about 2011!
I have ordered the JVM410c 6 months ago (in Australia ETA early Feb) I can not wait to get this amp. I had a JCM900 Dual reverb years ago and sold it. Biggest mistake. Thank you for the Video Paul
Your review got me in the mood for buying the Marshall JVM205C soon.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Pretty amazing string definition even on the red high gain setting. Chords still sound good.
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
You can get them used for around 1000- 1200 bucks.
Excellent review, as always ! Love thé JVM, great amp ! For sur.
Thanks fort that
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!
This is the amp that saved Marshall. Playing technique is the ideal. You should upload some technique videos.
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.
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.
Wow. The high-gain tone sounds almost like a Soldano. What a great amp!
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.
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.
Marshall needs to re release the JVM in a 1 watt combo and head like they did in 2012 . Many are hoping Marshall releases the classic 1 watt versions for their 60th anniversary including the awesome JVM 1 watt which blows away the crappy DSL series in every way imaginable.
I love my JVM 205C. I’ve had it for close to eight years.
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?
@@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.
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.
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.
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 ..
You don't need overdrive pedals with a jvm. Just put a delay in the loop
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.
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 😂
So many want the 1 watt series re introduced . Those are amazing especially the JVM 1 watt.
Best demo of this fantastic amp that I’ve ever heard…….! 😎👍
I like this channel……
This guy always has a great tone….
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
How timely! I just got the 1 watt JVM combo. Its sick! Check it out. th-cam.com/video/umWRgb2aBt4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z6GRBHYrPGw-761S@@michalkysel4351
Hey, I have the JVM410H, and it's the best head I ever got... 😉
Best Marshall tube amp since the 2203 imo
had a 210h for 10 years. okay for recording, not enough pressure live. Switched to good ol' JCM800 2203 from 1982.. will never switch back
Thanks for the video, I've been looking around for a review on this amp. Many thanks!
Anytime Albert
My favorite Marshall on the planet.
Just bought a JVM 50 head and a AAA quilt top 60’s Les Paul Standard in Ocean Water
Great review!! I’m looking to buy one of these!
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....
Hi ! You are one of my favorite on TH-cam
Nice souding on your hands
👍👍
Cheers SV
Great playing. Lovely amp
Hey Paul, versatility aside, how would you say this compares to the Studio Series from a sound point of view?? Best wishes, Sammy
Great sounds! Love its versatile
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.
I love the JVM range. I have a 410C and a 210H. Is all that I need.
sounds really great and great player as well ...
Dear Sir. You are a monster player. I loved the nod to Eugene's Trick Bag. Nailed the diminished run, only an octave lower! Please can I ask how you record these sounds? I see no microphone! Are you using some sort of impulse response? Or a special box of some kind?
I was wondering the same thing!
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!🍀
How about the volume? Does is need to be very loud to get these tones? Or isnthere a loadbox betelween the amp and speaker?
I think this is my favorite do-it-all amp. (You forgot to mention that it has a matching 2X12 cab for it.)
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.
The master volumes don’t allow for home use?
@@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.
@@StefanBoeykens is it possible to get enjoyable bedroom levels tones with the master volumes?
girlfriend bought me this cant wait
I highly prefer jvm with greenback.
It can very convincingly sounded like a plexi while being able to play high gain with mid range snarl.
Do the Greenbacks give it more bottom end can you tell me please(do you use 2 greenbacks /212)? also can you let me know please how good the reverb is? just returned a DSL40 combo ,clean channel not impressive & reverb next to useless.
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.
I have a JVM410C that I love. Only issue is it weighs 100lbs. Not ideal for gigging. A 2 channel 20 watt version would be amazing.
Gosh thats a good tone
Its an amazing amp! the only thing i don't like is the digital reverb.Sounds a bit harsh to me?i have a Mad Professor silver spring pedal which does sound very warm almost like a real spring unit. Even sounds excellent with distortion.
great demo. This is one that I would like to own. or the dls / tsl 2000
Well, I now know what my next amp will be. Lol. Great demo.
That's the sound!
Great demo and great amp!! If using a Midi Controller, can it become a 6 channel amp, utilizing all the different channel modes?
... very nice vid - I also like my JVMs a lot - how did you record the amp for the video??
Love mine, the FX loop not so much..... it rarely plays nice. Anyone else have issues w/theirs? It seems I'm not the only one.
This amp sounds amazing. I just wish it didn't weigh 65 pounds. Sadly I'm too old to lug something that heavy around anymore.
Make sure you buy a noise suppressor with this amp. Alot of hiss .
Any issues with effects loop volume drops or noise?
What speaker is the Heritage? Greenback? G1265?
+The Studio Rats; Another excellent demo vid, fantastic beast of a amp, I wish I could afford it.
But, at 5:58, PLZ, what kind of chord is that? Thx!
How good is the master volume on this amp?
Great demo of a great amp. Did you used the built in line out for the video or an IR ?
Sir could you demo the jvm 210c amp please with someone that records competently thank you
Can you plug headphones into this amp?
Hi! Your guitar touch is awesome! Are you using the amps reverb?
Yes I was.
I have the head version of this amp, the only thing I don't like about it is that having one makes about every thing else seem like garbage.
A great amp
I hear a lot of complaints about the JVM’s being very noisy on the OD channels compared to other models, is that true?
When modelling amps can fully replicate an amp like this it will be a game changer
I don't believe they ever will. Unless the digital process power goes into levels that we cannot even imagine today.
@@nedim_guitar I thought the same about photography 15 years ago
It has already been done more than once
@@nedim_guitar I’m not really sure, if you can hear the difference during blind test with tube amp and one of today’s top end digital solutions. Don’t judge digital technology by your experience more than 10 years old ... analog vs digital photography is the great example of possible evolution of this stuff. First digital cameras were heavy, complicated, overpriced, and produced poor image quality. Lot of professional photographers claimed there is no way use it for serious professional work, this is only an expensive toy ... and look around today, almost nobody using classical photography technology. I’m sure tubes will stay here more than 100 years, but most of guitar players will use digital amps.
@@michalkysel4351 I'm not saying that digital is bad, I've used it more that analogue stuff, I've used modellers more than tube amps. Hearing the difference is impossible already. But feeling, that's another story. But yeah, the way this amp sounds, the way it's built, the way it reacts, from what I saw in the video, that is a whole different level that is very difficult to recreate digitally.
I didn't notice any mics. How was this demo recorded?
I absolutely love the sound of your guitar! What is it?
That was a PRS DGT
I just bought a JVM205H 50w. What are your panel tone settings on the clean and overdrive channels? I play classic rock and heavy metal.
Thanks paul. Is that a prs and which model is it. Cheers
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?
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.
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.
Sold mine after the Friedman BE50dlx landed
Great demo! I know this is a 50w but how do these sound at low volumes? I saw your vid for the SC20H which looks tempting too! Thanks
I personally prefer the SC20 but you’ve got to turn them all up to get good tone
@@TheStudioRats A 1 watt version would sell like crazy .
Hi. Can I ask what your signal chain is, after the amp? I'm assuming a stereo reverb?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
amp aside, nice playing bro !
5:31 what scale is that? very cool and familiar somehow
Hello, do you use an Attenuator in your test for the JVM?
Now; .....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?
I like 2x12 personally
What happened to that Les Paul Goldtop you came home with?
What model prs and pickups is your guitar?
Great amp... Mine is the satriani one and i think is a lot better too.
Can you play this at bedroom volume and still sound good?
No I’m afraid not. It needs to be cranked.
Same thing I was wondering. I was going to pick one up due to the massive Marshall price cuts (don't know whats going on with that) here in USA. Either the JVM or reissue JCM800.
Not so fast!! This amp was improved drastically be Santiago Alvarez....the Joe Satriani JVM 410...deals with all the flaws of the original 410H....the to copressed sound of the standard as opposed to the open sounds of the JS is a great point...Gain has been improved to be able to go past 6 I had both of them and I can tell you they are aplles and oranges especially on the inside...the best sounding amp I ever owned was a modded 69 Plexi...when I lost that I thought I would never get that tone again..and I never did...UNTIL I got the 410 JS...I base a great amp on many factors one of the main ones is if it doesn't have a clean tone it wont have a great Metal tone....the standard had more git and not in a good way....the green channel of the clean channel takes all kinds of gain pedals and is very pedal friendly..yet I never see much info on the JS...I play lots of Metal but I also play many other styles...from chicken picking stuff to classic rock....I need an amp that will do it all extremely well....I do like the 6100 also....and until the runaway bias fried the DSL 2000 that was a damn great sounding amp...and when they reissued it with the so called fix it sounded like Shite.
Great demo. For great rock tone, the JVM or the Silver Jubilee mini?
JVM
What I like about your reviews is great guitar playing without stupid fast show off runs. Ever watched Greg Koch play? Me no like his style.
It's *J* ust a *V* ersatile *M* arshall
Why would you even need pedals up front
I like these smaller amps ,.., especially if ur a bed room rock star like me ,.., as much as d like a bigger house & rock star wages ,.,. i still cant get my self to down size even though my amp takes up half my house ,.,. oh well ,. i guess the amp will take the room ill take the letter box. hahaha .
The JVM is a dogs breakfast of clipping diodes & fizzy distortion!
