Got a JVM

[Matt Smith]

Figured this was good timing considering the Megadeth thread...I came across an offer I couldn't refuse on a JVM head on Craigslist.

Really digging it so far!
Here's a little clip I recorded with it today.

What the hell, a JVM on craigslist and I miss it? Damn you!

Sounds great! Very similar to the Windsor I jammed with today

 

[lordtech]

wow! sounds thrashy \m/

What did you think of the Windsor? I was thinking about getting one, but I noticed it sounds a little sharp.

 

[Harry Hughes]

JVMs are the best amps Marshall have made in years, enjoy!

 

[Melodeath]

Sounds really tight and punchy!

For the money I think that it can't be beaten. Brand new, its half the price of a used 5150, and sounds just as good. It's basically a Marshall clone, though, so its a different type of sound. It sounds really good, but you need to get it to a decent volume and boost it.

 

[KeithTidd]

That sounds really good. Super tight. I love the mids.

 

[Damian B]

Congrats, clip sounds killer!!

 

[Airborne]

Congrats, I am getting one of those very soon too!

I'd personally add some more low to it, the palm mutes sound a little weak. but other than that it sounds pretty damn good

I disagree, I think this is the essence of Marshall sound - characteristic snarling mids and letting the bass guitar do the bottom end.
This clip has a total thrash till death sound

 

[ItsAFugazzi]

Sounds really good. Actually reminds me a LOT of the tone on the Megadeth track.

 

[GeertSamuel]

That thing sounds tight... nice score!

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Great sound Matt! I'm considering one of the two channel JVMs. I had the one that you have previously and really enjoyed it when I had it.

Which cab was this through? Preamps? Mic?

thanks!

Great find Matt! Congrats! I loooove that Marshally goodness.

How is it for more vintage rock tones compared to older Marshalls? And how about clean tones?

With the different channel modi you can easily get from quite nice cleans, to plexi country, to 800 goodness, skipping the crap, DSL rock tones and modern high gain with tasty Marshall taste.

Those JVMs just rule supreme if you're having a <3 for Marshall tones, the good ones ofc.

I played through a Windsor head the other day and really liked it, but not sure I want to get another head at this point. Has anyone played through the Windsor Studio amp? I was thinking about getting one, but they did not have one to play through. Obviously, I'm not looking at it as a gigging amp, just a recording one. Anyone play one and have any thoughts on it for that usage?

Congratulations to you, Sir.
