A 50-watt Tube Head that Gives You the Full Range of Marshall Tones!

The Marshall JVM205H all-tube 50-watt amplifier head brings you the full range of Marshall tone, from crisp clean to molten roar! The 2-channel JVM205H 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 50-watt configuration is great for both stage and studio. Two effects loops, independent reverb for each channel, a speaker-emulated XLR line out, and two footswitchable master volumes also grace the JVM205H.



Marshall JVM205H 50-watt Tube Amplifier Head 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.

This head is everything and anything a guitarist could possibly want. The provided footswitch allows the user to easily move between channels, volume control and reverb. I love it. I run it will my pe... read more [+]dal board but if I want that raw Marshall sound I switch it over to the lead channel and let the thumping begin. It sounds good loud or at moderately low volumes. The contruction is magnificent and the amp is very easy to use. I used to own a JCM-800 and this amp sounds better and is one-hundred times more versatile. close [-]

The Marshall I always wanted!

Nothing hits a 5 star, but this amp comes very close. It is everything I want in a guitar amp and then some. I loved my DSL50, but often wished for a better clean channel, that's why I sold it for ano... read more [+]ther amp. I am a two channel amp guy. The trouble is I like about 4 ranges of tone from clean to overdrive. Pedals get you so far, but I wanted to core tone to be in the amp. The JVM205H does exactly what I want. I get three options on the clean channel that lets me go from country clean to a bluesy grind to a nice classic rock crunch. Switch it to the differently voiced lead channel and the rock starts to soar all the way to metal territory. I now have the amp I have been wanting - the two channels with the range of tones I was looking for all based on the sounds of Marshall that I grew up on.

What Marshall added to the mix is a footswitch that has multiple personalities. It is a straightup switcher for both channels and each nuance or it can be programmed to switch to four settings that you can program. It has all the flexibility with an easy way to find the options and, best of all, the complete Marshall sonic pallet.

This is a great amp and one I plan to keep for a long time. I will upgrade to Mercury Magnetics because I love how they shape the tone. close [-]
