Introducing the JVM2, the latest range of all-valve amplifiers from the award-winning JVM Series. Designed to complement the versatility, tone and power of the JVM410H and JVM410C, these new additions broaden the range without compromising the flexibility and sonic spectrum that has made its bigger brothers a universal success story. From the inception of the JVM Series, its goal has been to provide the modern guitarist with “an amp for all seasons”, delivering crystal clean notes through heavy crunch and on to the brutal gain expected of a Marshall, and all from one amp! When it comes to the two channel versions we find all the qualities and grandiose of the JVM4 focussed and streamlined into one incredible piece of professional kit.

Along with two new 100 Watt amplifiers in the shape of the JVM210H head unit and the JVM210C combo, the series now serves the guitarists who prefer the sound and colour delivered by 50 Watts of power. The JVM205H, JVM205C and the JVM215C bolster the range with a 50 Watt head plus double and single speaker combos respectively. The result is the most comprehensive range of amplifiers in Marshall's illustrious

46 year history.

AMPLIFIER SPECIFICATION

Equipped with the same groundbreaking technology as found in the JVM4 channel, the JVM2 Series comes loaded with an impressive array of features. Contained within the amp is a studio quality Reverb specifically developed for the JVM, two Effects Loops to further enhance your sound and separate presence/resonance controls to shape the tone of your playing. All this, not to mention the dual Master Volume controls, MIDI switching and the unique patent-pending technology found in the JVM2's 4-way footswitch, is where the JVM comes into it’s own. This fully programmable unit not only connects via a standard guitar lead, it also allows single front panel switching or whole amplifier configurations to be stored in its memory. Essentially, this enables the guitarist to either call upon individual features such as Channel/Mode, Reverb and

Effects Loop as and when needed or recall a collection of JVM front panel options at the stomp of the foot. The multi-coloured LED’s housed in the footswitch indicate the status of each channel and mode, a real godsend whether rehearsing in the bedroom or rocking out to the masses on a dimly lit stage.

Every JVM2 is produced at the Marshall factory in England using tried and tested construction techniques coupled with the latest technology. Every amplifier chassis and combo speaker is loaded into strong, durable cabinets made from the finest raw materials and finished to the highest standard. Both the JVM210C and JVM205C combo are fitted with a combination of Celestion Heritage and Vintage speakers to achieve an amazing depth of tone. The JVM215C comes with a 12” Celestion G12B speaker that delivers exactly what the amp, and you, expect from it.

Modes of Tone

The JVM4 channel amplifiers are synonymous with versatility and flexibility thanks to the three modes assigned to each channel, and the JVM2 range is no exception. Both channels – Clean/Crunch and Overdrive – have green, orange and red modes, each one creating a unique, yet complimentary, tone to the previous. This means that a total of six bespoke sounds can be called upon at any one time from the intuitive footswitch. From a bright, clean and honest tone produced from the Clean/Crunch channel in green mode, through to the thunderous, uncompromising distortion unleashed through the red moded Overdrive channel, the sonic scope of the JVM2 is astounding. This truly is the evolution of guitar amplification.

JCM800 Series specifications

Marshall Amplification is synonymous with rock music, and the JCM800 series is one of its most iconic models. Launched in the early 1980s, the JCM800 series redefined high-gain amplification and became a staple for countless rock and metal guitarists. Known for its raw power and tonal versatility, the JCM800 has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

One of the defining features of the JCM800 series is its pure, aggressive sound. At the heart of these amplifiers lies a high-gain preamp circuit, which delivers a rich, harmonically complex tone that is ideal for modern rock styles. The JCM800 offers a variety of wattage options, typically ranging from 50 to 220 watts, allowing players to choose the right power for their sound and performance environment.

The classic EL34 power tubes serve as the backbone of the JCM800's tone. These tubes provide a warm, dynamic response and a pronounced midrange that perfectly complements the heavy distortion and sustain the amp is known for. The two-channel setup—commonly featuring a "Normal" and a "Overdrive" channel—grants players flexibility in their sound. The Normal channel is perfect for achieving clean tones, while the Overdrive channel unleashes an intense crunch that can be dialed in to suit any style.

Control features on the JCM800 amplifiers are straightforward yet effective. Simple tone controls—bass, middle, treble—allow players to sculpt their sound easily. The added presence and resonance controls enhance the amp's response, delivering everything from bright, cutting tones to thick, powerful sounds ideal for heavy riffs.

Another key technology in the JCM800 series includes the use of PCB (printed circuit board) design, improving reliability while maintaining an accessible serviceability profile. Marshall also incorporates features like series effects loops, allowing musicians to integrate their favorite pedals effortlessly.

The JCM800 has become a beloved choice for many legendary guitarists, with its sound frequently associated with iconic recordings from bands such as Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana. Available in various configurations, including heads, combos, and cabinets, the JCM800 series remains a cutting-edge line of amplifiers that capture the essence of rock music. Its rich history, combined with its powerful features, continues to inspire guitarists around the world. With the JCM800, Marshall Amplification has solidified its status as a pillar in the foundation of rock tone.
