Like new condition and has never been gigged, maybe 20 hours on it. Footswitch included. Looking for $1,100 OBO or ideally a trade for a EVH 5153. I'm located in Maryland.
I've always wanted a JVM. I've only played the 1w, which was the first one I sold out of 3. I just have to try it out first man. My love for the amp is only based on specs and examples of JVM tones.
I know what my 5153 can do, and it is good.
You got the 50 or 100w? I'm looking at an alternative to forking out the money for a SLO. I'm looking for a punchy metal tone to run simultaneously with my 2203KK. What style you playing on yours?
Yeah, I turn up the gain and then vol to suit. Plenty for me. The clean channel gets very dynamic so clean sound is there but you can get a bit of hair if you hit the strings. A lot of that will depend on pups too. Mine are all pretty hot except for my strat. And it stays pretty friggin clean to me.
What don't you like about the JVM?
The only thing I dislike about the JVM is noise. It's really not as bad as people make it out to be but I run it at the same time as my 2203KK which has the noise gate. I would venture as far as say it's like a slightly more articulate 800 but a tad less organic sounding. If that makes sense lol.
