Cool! I'm looking forward to giving both the JVM and the VM a test drive when they get to town!

Why do I feel as if this guy is putting us on? I know some dealers who haven't even gotten the amp yet and he got one in Indiana?
Im not trying to sound like a tool but what gives.

Man you just messed me up completely with the state thing!! LOL!!!
Actually, I played through a Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 two days ago. They're stuff is out already!
BTW - the Express was a VERY cool amp! Excellent cleans and medium gain sounds. Hard to believe it was coming through a 10 inch speaker. The sound projection was huge!

Thought I should post back after last night's teaser. I've been playing the new amp ever since I got home from work. Man, whoever designed this amp did their homework. Just the "clean" channel alone is almost worth the price of addmission. It's that cool. The tone controls have a huge impact on feel and volume. I love all 3 modes.
One thing that surprises me, is the drastic difference in gain structure between the 3 modes of each channel. A lot of people have been saying that every channel and mode sounds pretty much alike. Not True! Each one is noticably different. BTW, for you guys with one on the way, be sure to turn the volume way down before you start pushing those mode buttons
The gain difference between green and orange/red will split you ears if your standing too close to the amp.
Playing the amp for only 3 hours doesn't qualify me as an expert, but here are few observations: First this is the most articulate Marshall I've played. even a crazy gain levels, It will show every mistake you make. I've got some practicing to do
Next, there is no "popping" or delays when switching channels. None. The stock preamp tubes are fairly microphonic. They will be replaced very soon. For reference, I also own a DSL100 and an early 80's JCM 50w combo.
I've got the entire weekend off (for a change), So lots of experimenting to do. Take care.

Thanks for the info
Mesa's are similar with the volume jump between modes, I was wondering about that aspect.....

Ok so you actually did get one. So how does it feel for leads? How is it for low volume playing?

Hey, I really enjoyed your "The JVM has not arrived!!! " thread on HC. My Bud at work laughed out loud!
As far as lead feel goes, I just can't get over how touch sensative it is on high gain. Or the opposite, very long sustain at low gain.
I keep going back to Crunch orange and OD1 orange. I guess because they sound like what i'm used to. After 25 years of 800's and DSL's this going to take a while to get used to.

So is it good at lower volumes?

If I wasn't drooling over the VHT Sig X and didn't have a JMP, I'd REALLY want a JVM. I was very impressed by it at NAMM, and then Ralph farted.
