All I can say is that I am thoroughly impressed with the JVM.
Ralph and I beat up the JVM for a few hours tonight...
This amp is a true to heart, Swiss Army Knife of tones.
It does everything it should and more. The cleans are amazing. The low and mid gains are amazing, and the high gain is simply sick....
Super tight in every aspect, but still breaths and fills the room with thickness.
We tried the head through a few cabinets..
CAA/Suhr with MC90's, Fuchs with Eminence Patriots, Marshall w/ 75's and the VHT FB.
And shockingly, the VHT absolutely devastated the other cabinets...especially recording. But the MC90's came in 2nd....
And to set the record straight, the JVM eats up and spits out the Splawn QR by a mile. There is no comparison. The JVM can duplicate anything the QR can offer, then take it up a few dozen notches.
It can literally duplicate your favorite vintage Marshalls and take them to a new level.
It has more tight saturated gain in the OD1/orange channel than most high gainers like Engl, Framus, and Diezel.
Let's put it this way....
Ralphie was more than happy with OD1, Orange and the gain at 11:00 with his GMW.
OD2 has an even tighter, scooped, nu Metal type sound. But it stays articulate even under extreme settings.
The reverb is great and very usable, and didn't take away from the tone.
I've only scratched the surface of what the amp can do since we got stuck in the OD1/Orange setting....
I can honestly say, that if you like Marshalls, THIS IS THE AMP TO HAVE....
I may buy a second one and throw in KT77's just for shits and giggles...
Everyone who is getting one should be extremely happy....if you are not...take up playing the Xylophone..... :lol:
Steve
 
Oh...
And anyone who says anything about squealing, popping and noise is simply retarded...No other excuse....
 
Yup, OD1 Orange was my favorite channel when i played it. Tell your friend to hurry up and take the amp away from you before i can't resist anymore. :D

MMMMMmmmm...puddin'.

I haven't seen much written about the attack and feel. Is it spongy like older Marshalls? Or, aggressive like the newer ones?
 
hope you got yours for free steve since you made the dealer ALMOST 4K. he should hook up the man that set up the deal. :D
 
you guys are killing me. Mine is now tracking through UPS...but doesn't say the arrival date yet...it better be tomorrow since it's 2nd day air.
 
Sounds like a kick ass amp.....will be watching for a used one down the road!

Does it sound good at lower "basement" volume levels?

:thumbsup:
 
thats excactly my point carl, i feel that steve had to have some pressure to deal with, not to mention the shipping, and people asking all the time about it.
so i feel he should have got his for free.

i personally dont give a shit what you think of me or what i buy. your one of the biggest dickheads on the board and have a bad attitude to go with it. i didnt like the amp, why is that so hard for you to accept, i guess im supposed to kiss everybody ass around here so i can be in the amp of the month club like you. i have had my uber and my splawn a long time and they are my core amps, i just buy other amps to try out because i can afford to do so.

i notice you like to kiss steve ass and whatever he says you and your little boys club your part of like to follow. if somebody in your little club farts then all of you smell it and say how great it was.

everybody on the boards knows i dont go out of my way to start trouble, and i try to treat everybody nice, but your the biggest jackoff ive ever met. ill be in ny in may and if you wanna meet me then fine. ill say this shit to your face.
im not a coward that hides on the internet.
 
i dont need to take his shit, i used to see his type all the time when i grew up in ny and nj. ill treat him the same as he treats me. jb is one of the nicest people on the board and carl likes to bust his balls all the time, jb had to put him on his ignor list.
 
hey carl pm me your phone number because ill be glad to talk to you on the phone instead of hiding.
you couldnt dent a coke can carl, nobody would be afraid of your old ass.

Don't let him get to you Zao.

As Carl's infamous nemesis John Ou used to say, it's just "words on a screen" :D
 
Great review

Now for the stupid question of the day , when you guys refer to "scooping or diming " what is that mean
I almost didnt want to ask , but even though Ive played awhile , Im no new to learning how to EQ tube amps. So if anybody could help a noob out it would be cool.
