Re: Marshall JVM410H

I need to play one to see if it can beat this Rivera I am playing now.

Re: Marshall JVM410H

I've seen demo videos for the JVM and read reviews and it seems pretty sick!! Definately something I would consider buying, but I'm buying a Mesa Nomadd 100 this summer!!

I've owned and sold both of these amps....If I was to buy either again it would be the JVM, hands down. No question.

If you have a good Rivera..... do yourself and plug into this Marshall and remind yourself how lucky you are!

The clean channel on my beast is so Fender its scary.. and the crunch channel with the boost on rips your head off.... The one thing, and this is personal preference is that the Rivera cant really get low gain loose bottom end sound Marshalls have. But if i wanted loose i'd visit a brothal! haha

Re: Marshall JVM410H

we should appraise amps according to their own merits. if there are others which are more appealing (there will definitely be), it's really a personal appeal.

Because in the end it did 4 things pretty good, but no one thing really good. When it's showing up on the used market for $900 - 1000 it will be a screaming deal. Where it's at new now there are many other amps (mostly on the used marked) that sound much better and are built infinitely better. A very reliable source told me that the circuit boards in the JVM's are built in China then sent to England for assembly. No big suprise since Korg has the Vox AC30CC's built entirely in China. No biggie - but $1600 buys you a Bogner Shiva, a few different models of Budda's, a few Soldano's, a real JCM 800, an older JMP.....

The JVM is making a bunch of people happy and thats what counts, it just didn't work for me.

Re: Marshall JVM410H

Schecterplayer and I jammed on some marshalls today, I was using that one and he was using the Vintage/Modern. We had a pretty tastey tone, he was using a rivera hollowbody and i was using a casino, we were jammin out beatles tunes.

Re: Marshall JVM410H

I never understood why anyone would be scared by knobs or switches.....all it means is you have more control over your sound. As long as it sounds good, the extra options can be a blessing for someone who needs different tones on the fly.

Are guitarists that close to cavemen? Try a keyboard/workstation compared to a 4 Channel Marshall.

Anyhow, before the new Marshalls came out, I had a slight feeling the JVM would be a cooler amp than the Vintage Modern, even though everyone assumed the opposite. Everyone who's scared of knobs assumed the VM would be better. Now that I've played both, I have to say the VM is the worst sounding POS Marshall I've plugged into in years! I hated it. I couldn't get any tone that sounded good to me. The JVM, on the other hand seemed like something useful, and it's one of the better Marshalls in recent years IMO. Still no Bogner tho. I went from playing the JVM for an hour at GC to my Ecstasy at a rehearsal space, and was reminded that Reinhold Bogner completely owns everyone.

The VM is very hard to EQ correctly, but if you do it right you can nail some sweet tones, it rocks hard but i like the JVM better
