Yeah Ive heard awesome JMP-1 tone before. Hell, I once saw Killertone's old band Human at Stubbs and he was using a JMP-1 and it sounded awesome...
I wasnt nearly as impressed with the Marshall demo at NAMM as everybody else was.. Maybe I was having a bad ear day from jamming the night before..
But, you know what does impress me? Clay Finley's 1970 Superlead that Ive been rehearsing with the for the past week.

The guy demoing them had them set up too bright and they had a "plinkiness" to them, but that could have been from too much high end. The voicing is less honky which is cool, but I wasnt hearing the organicness (is that a word?) I hear from amps like my Superbass or Clay's Superlead. I didnt hear the note bloom or harmonic richness like I do from the aformentioned amps.
I will say that I really like how each channel and mode has the mids voice differently so you can get a Plexi, JMP, and 800 style tones.
In short, I cant even really give my opinion on one because watching some jackass play an amp doesnt tell me whether Id like it or not.

LOL thanks for your input! Yeah Im reserving judgment until I hear and play one in person. Steve threw together this deal and thought... why not give it a shot. I think these amps will be hot for awhile so if it doenst fit what I want then I dont think I'll have too much trouble turning it.

Well Im not saying it sucks at all. I just wasnt blown away like, "OMFG The greatest Marshall ever I must have one right now!!!" :x
In all honesty, I hope it lives up to the hype. Im a marshall guy through and through. I even really like the DSL's but I still thought they fell short of a JMP.
Im waiting for them to reclaim their crown.

I hear ya. Its hard to beat those good old JMP's. Really hard. I have an amp that covers that kinda more simple one channel territory that Im happy with. I was looking at getting something to add to my collection that is more modern, multi channel, high gain, no need for pedals, etc but has the Marshall vibe through and through. This looks like it might be a good candidate and Marshall makes it.
I really dig the DSL myself so if this only 10% better at best well I think I'll be happy.
