Marshall JVM 410 Review 

+TriCrow Studios Good work brogan, let us know how ya get one with it dudeface!

Totally dude he's a legend!

Gavin O yeah man all high gain sound introduce a little hum, a noise gate gat get rid or this if you want a silent signal. Boss ns2 rocks.

Paul Glover thanks for that. Is this even going to help with the head by itself? I've tried a noise gate pedal I have (mxr noise clamp) and it made no difference what so ever. My amp will make the noise even with no guitar plugged in, but only on od1 and od2 orange and red. Every other mode and channel is fine. Should I be running something directly thru the effects loop of the head by itself perhaps? Just trying to pick your brain, as I know there are lots of others out there in MARSHALL forums that have had same issues, but no real remedies. Cheers man.

+Gavin O Sell that pos and buy a real Marshall - jmp 2203 or jcm 800 2203 and buy a boost

Well how did it sound? I'm thinking of getting a harley benton with 2x12 v30s. Any other suggestions please? Thanks

I'm using the iron heart mate..this amp is great but the Laney cuts like a bastard and has a smoother overall tone. plus I like the simplicity of my iron heart rig. clean crunch and lead, has a watt control and great built in reverb. oh and it glows red.

No dude

@@PaulGlover Great!! Noob question… I’m think about getting one, and my friend did just get one. When I watch videos, most of them have a horrible buzzing or hum, but.. some don’t have any at all, like yours! My friends JVM buzz’s bad on a cleaner AC/DC tone… I don’t understand. I now that sometime is just the “nature of the beast”, but… many is just overwhelming to me and don’t know if a noise gate will help. Has yours been modded? Trying to figure out why your don’t buzz like crazy??

@jc23858369 no dude but iam not super loud either buddy?

rotate it till the notches match the small ports in the chassis, then pull upward.

thanks for the update man. people need to know these things. good to meet ya Bro.

I've used mine extensively, several hours per day for 6 years and it works like a charm. I've had to swap the tubes once and it's coming around to doing it again, but that's the case for any valve amp used that much in my experience.

Alexander Hyll Was it the pre-amp tubes making it howl or did you just swap them all out and the howl stopped? I returned the amp because I was nervous of accidental channel selections at loud volume. just seemed to have too much going on for me. 4 channels would have been perfect. 12 channels was just too much to deal with. You can get any sound from that amp and it will squeal harmonics like a mad piggy.

I swapped all of them because of bias problems. Was 4 years in tho and like i said used extensively. I got rid of some of the humming but on stage, grounding/lighting + humbuckers you will always have some howl. I still have it gated with an isp decimator (rack), partly why the Satch 410H model has gates instead of reverb (also cause he didn't like the sound of the reverb compared to Roland rack fx).

I put one Decimator II in front of the amp and another in the effects loop and linked them together. Zero noise, perfect.

I'd get it to a local dealer to have a look at maybe, is it the case vibrating? Have you got it on a very bassy cab? If it's not a tone buzz more of a physical thing that is. If it's a tone thing it may be a tube. For me though a dealer is ya best bet bro.

yeah its more of a lower buzz that sounds like im continually playing a note even though im not, If im playing I don't notice it but as soon as I stop there's the buzzing

+Rich Veeck I guess Joe Satriani disagrees with you, I'll go with Joe...

Marshall 1936 2x12 and a mesa recto 4x12, in my opinion a killer mix. Thanks for the comments dude!

Right, but what speakers are in Marshall 1936? It comes in 2 different versions, 2xt75 and 2xg12, so thats why I ask. Cheers

Argh, mine has one of each.

Paul Glover Thanks for the answer. I am in the market for a new amp, which will be used live extensively, so I am looking left and right. Your demo video is one of a handful on whole yt which doesn't feature highly compressed tone from JVM. There are bunch of videos out there with lots of compression, you can't even hear the string attack, it's all smeared by dialing in too much preamp gain. I especially especially like your OD Orange channel tone, pretty chunky. If only you could up master volume a bit (I know, you are in a building), really curious what it would add tonal wise. I was wondering if it's possible to dial in tone on JVM similar to a boosted JCM800 (i.e that awesome midrange roar) or not? I really like the sound of boosted 2203, but it's a single channel amp, so it's out of the picture for me. If JVM is able to do it, then I'm sold. What's your opinion?

Uros Ramic you'll get whatever you want and more,it's a killer tone machine man.

there is no escape, he just cuts the volume, I use a NS2, no noise in Clean and Crunch and bearable hiss in OD1, do not use OD2.

MJefBR funny. Mmmmmm, i smell haters in hear. I had 2 gigs this weekend. Used my JVM 410 for both with NO denoiser. No problems. And, we didnt even mic the amps!

Well, had a 410c, way too hissy, now own the Satriani version, I am in heaven. If you play relatively far from the amp, use humbuckers and do not use OD2, the stock version is great.

I use 2 ISP Decimator IIs, one in the loop on in front. Absolutely no problems at all, OD1 or OD2.

sounded the best to my ears dude at the volumes levels we had to demo at, I also take it as I find it so to me it did have a very classic tone on that channel but mate you've owned one so your feedback for the guys watching this is awesome. I only had the amp for a day or 2.

+Paul Glover Thanks for your reply :) playing my Les Paul Junior 2014 through the JVM on OD1 Orange turning Gain past 9 o'clock, there is already enough distortion for heavy riffs. I'll try out your volume levels soon :) What's your personal favourite amp though?

is it more versatile than the mesa mark v 90/w ?

Lol hes a good egg. 🧟‍♂️

So I about to pull the trigger and get a JVM 205c. My band is looking at starting to gig and we cover, 80’s hair metal and early 90’s grunge. So I need a versatile amp stage ready that can get me those era tones. Do you think the JVM is a good choice?

@@Pheonix2455 without doubt dude it covers all Marshall era tones so 80 hair rock/metal is in there in spades. Great amps. 🧟‍♂️

Mate it is a very very versatile amp. I think all of the above is achievable, add to that the amount of channel options you should not have a problem dude face.

thanks bro i've been trying to find a good amp for some heavy music and then also be able to play some sweet home alabama lol i think this amp is what i'm looking for

+MR. JR This amp is definetely what you're looking for. Maybe, buy a booster pedal for some extra asskicking when it comes to really heavy music.... But over all you get everything from this beast! ;)

+MR. JR This is THE highest gain amp Marshall has ever made. It'll do anything from cleans, to AC/DC crunch, to the highest gain possible. In fact, this amp was designed with too much gain, to the point where it gets fucking insane. No overdrive needed unless you want to use a tubescreamer to tighten up the low end for super-low tunings, but anything drop C and above should be fine.

Absolutely

It's the 1936 lead 2x12 Bro. Fat and smooth.

Paul Glover cool man! I consider buying one too, cause my 4x12 is too heavy. Can you carry yours easily?

Yeah dude it's a life and back saver. Cheap out the Laney lion heart 2x12 as well mate same speakers but lighter to carry.

Paul Glover thanks buddy, I'll have a look at that one

Dude I was really drunk lol give a guy a break. I Can't even remeber doing this vid LOL

Paul Glover Hahaha...no prob dude! Cant decide between one of these JVM410's or a Kemper

tiz a tough call, Kempers are great but there still not quite there yet. Its nice problem to have dude, follow your tone journey bro.
