Zakk Wylde tried them out at NAMM yesterday. Zakk said: ''The Gang at Marshall Hooked me up w/their new JMD:1 .... you can get a ton of shit out of this thing'' at his twitter page >>> http://twitter.com/ZakkWyldeBLS
He also made comments about how the amp and effects sound at the different numbers.

Marshall Amps have revealed it on their website: http://www.marshallamps.com/product_range.asp?productRangeId=31

Is a modeling tube amp that emulates Marshall's from different times apparently. It has 16 channels, and a couple of effects: delay, reverb, chorus, tremolo.
It will come in... a 50w guitar amp head, a 100w guitar amp head, a 50w 1 x 12 combo, and a 100w 2 x 12 combo.

Marshall has created 5 videos for the ''Marshall Theatre'' at their website that showcases the amp. You should check them out while you visit their website.

If any of you is in NAMM this year or saw the JMD:1 videos at the Marshall website, please feel free to comment on it! It would be good to know how the 1st Marshall modeling amp series would fare out for us as guitarists gigging musicians or hobbyists. :thu:

From what I heard ( not at the NAMM show ), it sounds pretty good if you're into the Marshall sound obviously.

Where is that amp made? UK, China or another country... ?

Developed in the UK, manufactured in China. That's what it says here...

I was hoping that a Made in China amp would have a better MAP price.
A digital amp is not like buying a tube amp. The resale goes into the dump pretty quick...

Since when is Marshall ever charged a reasonable price from their products?? Funny though, just because this thing has "tubes" in it they're charging an arm and leg for it.

I just hope consumers look at the comptetion before dropping $1200 on a $500 amp.

If the 50 watt was 500 greenbacks, they'd be flying off the shelf.

Have any HC member bought or seen any clips of the amp online?
Let me share some clips I found with you all!

Lets see one of these for $1500 or a Line 6 Spider Valve for $899. I would save myself the money and go with the Line 6.

I just worked with the JMD 100 watt head at a training yesterday, and I along with the class was extremely impressed with this amps authenticity in both vintage and modern styles. They really nailed the vibe, reaction, and tone of all the models. All 16 pre-amps were wonderful.

I played with one at the local GC and it sounded like ass

[hugbot]

I dont know what would compel anyone to want 16 different models of marshall. Its like going into ben and jerrys and seeing all theyve got is "chocolate, double chocolate, and choc chip"
