The Full Range of Marshall Tones - in a Combo!

The Marshall JVM205C all-tube 2 x 12" 50-watt amplifier brings you the full range of Marshall tone, from crisp clean to molten roar! The 2-channel JVM205C gives you six "modes," covering two independent channels with three gain stages, each with its own footswitchable memory. It's a great feature for ultra-flexible onstage switching (via the included dedicated, programmable footswitch unit), plus the combination of a "vintage" and "modern" speakers provides great tone. Two effects loops, reverb for each channel, a speaker-emulated XLR line out, and two footswitchable master volumes also grace the JVM205C.





Marshall JVM205C 50-watt 2 x 12" Tube Amplifier Combo at a Glance:
  • Channel switching and more
  • Silence is golden
  • Marshall heritage
  • From glassy to a roar

Channel switching and more
The JVM2 series amps don't simply give you footswitchable channels. You get an entire palette brimming with different degrees of distortion, tonality, and effects. The included 4-way switch has five easy-to-read LEDs, making this rig ready for stage use. It's also programmable, so you can set up different combinations of channel, mode (Green, Orange, or Red), reverb level, effects level, and master volume easily. The Parallel/Series effects loops are also switchable on/off. Marshall made sure you'll get the most out of this amp even when your at the front of the stage!

Silence is golden
When on Standby, the JVM2's emulated XLR output is fully operational, allowing you to record in total silence - a godsend for those late night recording sessions!

Marshall heritage
Every JVM2 is made at the Marshall factory in the tonal heart of England. Time-tested, traditional methods of craftsmanship and construction are combined with the latest advances in modern manufacturing technology, ensuring world class build quality and roadworthiness. Internally, the JVM2 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, quality components adds to the all-important reliability factor that is synonymous with the Marshall legend.

From glassy to a roar
Two completely independent channels sounds fine, but this amp gives you so much more than that! Each channel features three footswitchable modes: Green, Orange, and Red. These modes give you different voicings and levels of overdrive ranging from pristine clean to super-saturated, harmonic-drenched, sustain-for-days distorted. Of course, the beauty of this configuration is that you can easily dial in these tones and everything in-between, and access them with the touch of a footswitch.

Marshall JVM205 50-watt 2 x 12" Tube Amplifier Combo Features:
  • All-tube design: 5 x12AX7, 2 x EL34 (50-watt) or 4 x EL34 (100-watt)
  • Two totally independent, footswitchable channels – clean/crunch and overdrive
  • Each channel has three footswitchable modes – Green, Orange, and Red

  • Two footswitchable master volumes
  • Two effects loops – one series, and one parallel/series
  • Parallel/series effects loop is footswitchable on/off

Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
This is a simply phenomenal sounding amp. Gone are the days of just shoe-horning the contents of a head into a smaller box, throwing in speakers, and hoping for the best. Marshall and Celestion developed a Vintage and a Heritage speaker for this combo. The difference shows. The two channels with three programmable modes each move through the entire palette of vintage Marshall, and end with enough gain to rip the guitar from a lesser player's hands. Shimmering clean would even lend to country or rockabilly when stepped on (from a Marshall?). If you tune down extremely low, and want the guttural tones of the underworld, they are also included. Not just included, exalted. Blues, no problem. Classic rock - every version thereof. Amptastic...
