Does it all
Normally Marshall isn't known for strong clean tones, but this amp has a clean channel that can get as glassy as the best of them. Add 3 more channels with increasing levels of gain, amazing digital reverb, programmable fx loop for each channel , and the 100w Marshall flame thrower power plant and you have the ultimate amplifier. I bought the JVM 2x12 extension cab for mine to give it the over the top oomph.
The ONLY con is that you'll need 2 people to carry it anywhere. It's that heavy.
I've been playing 40 years and have had everything at least twice including an original JCM 800 2210 and this amp is in a class by itself. This amp pisses all over anything in its class. Bravo Marshall.
Sonic and programable brilliance
I needed a change. I perform new country, where clean and grit both have a place. I've been running Twins in the live rig for years. I used pedals from time to time to get a really driven sound and that worked since 98. There was something slightly missing, or so I thought. Turned out not to be so slightly when I added the JVM410C into the rig. I use a gcx and gcu voodoo system to control everything. Including this combo. Once I dialed it in, I could a/b the different amps in the rig and I was floored.
First, wth midi control it fit seamlessly into the gcu setup. I can control it perfectly from the front of stage and behind the stage. The supplied foot switch is no slouch, but I really like one pedal to control everything. Front end effects, inserted time based effects and the like. Seamless integration.
Next, I thought I would get the most use out of it in the crunch and od preamps. I was dead wrong. The clean side of this amp is incredible. I ran a PRS p24 trem Piezo side into it, and it translated the piezo side pretty good. So, I tried just a slight edge clean/yellow and used each switch position. I was very surprised at how silky it sounded and full of presence.
The driven channels sound really good too. I don't really have the need for Red on od1 or 2. That said, fully cranked green and yellow selections run with little hi gain hum. Red is a bit hissy on the od channels, true. But that can be conquered by creative program usage with the GCU.
It has really great sonic control using the guitars volume knob. Some amps loose part of the sound pallet when the volume knob is used. This amp plays well with a guitars volume knob backed off for light passages. Some amps loose punch and a lot of sustain. This amp looses very little.
I would choose it all over again if I had to. Don't let the small form factor fool you. This combo is a giant. This has easily been a no brainier, great selection. It's qualiy and sound make it the easiest amp I could ever recommend.
perfect
found the love of my life. It's the green crunch mode. Not to say there is anything wrong with any of the other channels. Each mode is unique and fun to play around with. Rock, Blues, Jazz, Metal it does it all. The dual volume is grate for a boost while rocking out or as a switch to be loud during the day and softer when practicing at night. It's just perfect for anything at any time.
Awesome Amp
I don't usually write reviews, but I felt this one needed to be done.
I bought this amp about 8 months ago, and I just love the sounds that I get out of it.
I know that Marshall is known for their crunch and overdriven sounds, and this amp has them all. Even more than I will use for my styles of playing, but sometimes they are still fun to switch to those channels when I get a wild hair.
I personally use the clean channels the most, sometimes with one of the drive buttons pushed. Sometimes just on the cleanest settings. They sound full and open. Strat, Tele, Les Paul, ES-135 all sound fantastic. My Tele's neck pickup doesn't even squeal when cranked, like it does with my Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb.
I always plug straight from the guitar into the amp, so there is no pedal coloration to the sound. But with the sounds you get from this, you don't need any drive pedals anyway. Just push one of the drive buttons, it will give you a sound that you would be more than happy with.
The amp is 100 watts, which of course sounds great at "rattle-the-windows, neighbors-call-the-cops" volume, but it stills sounds exceptionally good at lower volumes as well.
This amp really is 4 great amps in one. Not digital modeling imitations, but the real thing.
I highly recommend it.
Powering the locomotive of rock and metal
If heaven intended a gift to the music community, it was the marshall jvm 410! there is nothing like it on the planet, and i sincerely doubt the alians' ability to produce anything better!
the sound is incredible, the defenition is astounding, and it is surely built for space jumping!
Great Amp
I have this combo for about 7 years now; I bought the amp new in 2009. Before that I used to have the head version, which I got on eBay, second hand. It has never let me down. I have used all of its features - including the midi options (with BOSS GT10 for effects) and the line out for silent recording direct to mixing desk. The amp sounds very full and it is built to last. It sounds good at low volumes as well - no problem to practice with it at home. However this is definitely not a bedroom amp :)
On the flip side:
1. It can be hard to set the OD1 and OD2 channels. Personally, I use very low gain settings on these channels, the gain is set at 9 o'clock, the same applies for the treble. You deffinetly have to back down the mids as well.
2.I am not a fan of the plastic corners, handles and jacks.
Still this is a great piece of kit.
