From Our Research Team:

Digital Preamps with Marshall Soul!

What do you get when you cross decades of tone expertise with 21st-century tech? You get Marshall's fantastic JMD:1 Series, that's what! These amps are 100% Marshall, indeed, packed with sheer EL34 tube power. But the secret behind the series is in the collaboration between Marshall and Swedish software gurus Softube. The two companies dreamed up state-of-the-art digital preamp technology, so you can plug into more tonal possibilities than ever before.



In fact, with every Marshall JMD:1 Series amp, it's like having 16 preamps at your disposal. The preamps range from clean to crunch to overdrive to lead, with four preamp tones in each category. More than that, each amp sports built-in effects, including four different delay types (with tap tempo), four different modulation types, and reverb. This is the Marshall JMD50, a 50-watt head with an EL34-driven power amp.

  • Power: 50-watts
  • 16 digital preamps

If gigging cover tunes in Bar & Restaurants is your thing,,, this is the perfect ticket. Pair it with a 2x12 cab and it'll sound great at low volume and still sound great, cranked above the drummer. ... read more [+]It's replaced my Marshall TSL for gigging.

JMD50 review

I have been a all tube amp guy for 40 years.
I have heard good and bad about this amp, but till you try it for yourself you never know. I have had it for only 4 days and I am still learning all... read more [+] the ins and outs. I have been playing this amp with out any of my pedals and I really don't see any use for them right now. I will plug my crybaby in is all. The big deal about this amp is does it sound and act like a all tube amp. Yes it does, so close that I really don't think I would have known it wasn't. The 50 watt amp has 2 EL34's and one ECC83 for the phase inverter. the amp is very load I never get the master volume over 5, If you just play in your home or small gigs you will not need a 100 watt JMD. At the new price of just $599 I don't see how you can go wrong. If you want some of Marshall best tube amps all in one, this is the amp for you. I am have a great time with my new JMD. Its like I got a big truck load of Marshall's sent to me. I am in Marshall heaven right now.
This is a must have amp. close [-]

Once marshall did the price drop I started doing my research on this model.
Couldn't find but a few bad reviews out of hundreds so I ordered one.
Glad I did. This is a working mans Marshall. Has all the tones you'll need. Just spend time tweaking it to your taste and it will reward you. Very happy I bought it. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
