    Best of JVM 410h and 410hJS...

    That's good advice. By looking at the features I'd be more inclined to liking the JS. And I have played the standard model several times. I would most certainly buy used since they can be picked up for little money (which makes me wonder why a bit). I'm also very familiar with the 6100 and...

    Best of JVM 410h and 410hJS...

    So I'm back to looking into the JVM as an alternative in my rig. Unfortunately, my local dealers don't have both versions in stock so I haven't compared in person. From what I see the JVM Satriani model has a bunch of features that I like. Noise gates inside the amp, professional serial...

    1936 Cab History and Review...

    I'm actually considering one of those options. I'd like to have the flexibility of bringing a 2x12 instead of my 4x12. Now, what if I wanted to combine both? I believe the 2x12s run at 8ohm (mono) and the 4x12 at 16. What if I want to connect both to a Marshall head such as my old JCM 800 or a...

    Rack is back?

    Don't. Keep the stuff and save up for some small little thing that you like but keep the big rig around. I'm glad I never sold any of the original stuff - despite the fact that in 98% all I use these days is a Fender Cyber Twin that I got for dirt cheap. Which by the way is a very usable amp...

    Rack is back?

    And that's exactly the point I was trying to make. I used to run a very similar setup back in the 80s: JCM800 2204 (an old one so no loop), distortion pedal, OD pedal, chorus, digital delay (which was a great step forward over the old analog ones that are now so hip again). And yes, this had to...

    Eric Johnson's Tone vs Joe Bonamass's tone!

    Like others have pointed out I believe Bonamassa is on record of having said that he had EJ as a major influence. He sounds a bit more generic too me and has a nice "woody" Les Paul thing going for the people who like that. But then again, it's hard to say in the end for me since Bonamassa puts...

    Rack is back?

    :-) Well, sure - to each their own. I find pedal boards (and I do have one) to be cumbersome and often unreliable. And that's just the part where on a dark stage and with little time you have to hook up all the right cables to your pre-pre-amp loop, amp effects loop, channel switchers, tuner...

    Rack is back?

    If they are for you that's great. I personally never understood why they came back they way they came. Back in the 80s and 90s we were thrilled to get rid of them. Sure, there are some really nice pedals out there - and I have to admit that I have accumulated a bunch over the years. But how...

    Layman's thoughts on JVM410HJS

    I looked into that myself since I was considering a new multi-channel head. My take so far is that neither is 100% ideal for my taste. The JS is supposed to sound similar to a 6100 - an amp that went back to the store after a few months back then because it wasn't really good at anything (plus...

    Rack is back?

    Hi there, Haven't been here in a while and have been mostly obsessing over at the Fender and Washburn related boards. But that wouldn't stop me from having some amp GAS as well. I've started playing regularly again with a hard rock/heavy/classic rock cover band. And for that flexibility is...

    JVM410H vs JS vs original 6100 (vs Engl)

    Hello Everyone, Going through a GAS episode right now for a number of reasons. On my list also a different amp head to simplify my current (full) setup that feeds into my old modified JCM800. Long story short: for the versatility that I like a three or four channel amp with lots of options...

    My First Marshall

    That's exactly the point. People need to try those with their specific amps. I personally could never get the V30 cabinets to work for me and prefer G12T-75 in a stock 1960 cabinet. And I also found that there is no difference in the newer Chinese version vs the older ones in the JCM 800 cabs.

    My First Marshall

    Here's my take on that: you're probably making a good choice there in that you'll still have a very versatile amp that will work for you under different circumstances. Will every sound and every option be 100%? Probably not. But does that matter? If you're looking to record with it to get...

    My First Marshall

    This thread really confused me. How can you go from a jack-of-all trades amp to some modern Marshall while preferring really a one-trick pony like the AFD100 (no idea why anyone would want to have that mosquito-buzz sound from that album) and now show an interest in the JCM900 - which must be...

    JMD heads? Picky yet open minded

    Thanks for the encouraging responses. Has anyone compared the 100w head against the 50w head? Are the differences similar to what you get from a "real" head? I would suspect that since the power stage is the same as usual the differences are similar as well. I'm more a 50w guy since I like...

    JMD heads? Picky yet open minded

    Thanks a lot. I'll have to see if I can find a 50w JMD head nearby and try it out. The DSL line or really any "real" amp after the 800 is not my cup of tea and doesn't help with my issue. I'm looking for a second/backup amp that includes basic studio effects (delay, chorus, reverb) so that I...

    JMD heads? Picky yet open minded

    Hello everyone, Haven't been on here for a while and actually haven't played out in a while. Now it looks that I may be getting back into playing live a bit more often and it'll be a cover band again. The usual classic rock radio station stuff plus some more modern heavy songs a la Godsmack...

    Really good amp tech in the North East?

    Hi there, I am from Boston and I may want to have my 2204 serviced soon (new caps, tubes, whatever else makes sense). I am looking for a really good tech who knows about Marshalls and will stick to original parts as much as that is possible/feasable. One issue: it had a clean channel added...

    Where can I get a 1960 LEAD badge?

    Does any one know where I could get the JCM 800 version of this badge? Checked ebay and many parts suppliers already. Negative so far. Thanks, L.
