The JVM Series 100 Watt, valve-driven power stage is built on the classic design responsible for the legendary Marshall roar found in the JCM800 2203 and “Plexi” Super Lead amplifiers – a timeless foundation for countless classic rock and metal guitar tones for over four decades. Each of the JVM’s four channels: clean, crunch, OD1 & OD2 has three modes – green, orange and red – providing 12 totally unique, yet complimentary amplifier topologies, making it 12 amps in one. As a result, the Series offers an amazing array of instantly switchable tones – from the cleanest clean to the highest gain ever found in a Marshall and all points in-between. The JVM front panel is simple and uncompromising; dedicated Gain, EQ, Volume and Reverb are present for each of the four channels. Add to this a Master section with dual Master Volumes, Resonance and Presence and you have a clear, concise layout that makes the JVM easy and intuitive to use. With seamless switching, perfect memory, and MIDI, onboard logic not only ensures switching is swift and silent, but also remembers the position of each front panel switch in all 12 modes. Every JVM is made at our Marshall factory in England using time-tested, traditional methods of craftsmanship and construction, combined with
the latest advances in modern manufacturing technology, ensuring world class build quality and roadworthiness. Internally, the JVM circuitry and layout has been kept to a minimum, ensuring the integrity of the guitar tone and an incredibly low noise floor – this, coupled with meticulous valve selection and high tolerance along with quality components adds to the all-important reliability factor that is synonymous with the Marshall legend.
