Members Shiny_Surface Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ignore him ^He purchased a JVM, used some Marshall newsletter Dave Mustaine settings and didn't like it.Now he plays an XTC for "thrash."That is all that needs to be said about his credibility. rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shiny_Surface Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 My best friend has one and when I take my Splawn over there it crushes that thing to pieces:cop: Like Nerine said, the JVM has a freaky digital/processed sound to me with absolutely no punch...kinda fizzy too to be honest. With that said, I'd have to say that I personally cant stand JVM's just saying... The two Splawns I used to own didn't crush the JVM (that I used to own as well lol), they were just different. 40+ year old men using comic book terminology like the amps are in a fighting ring, lol.

Members Mavesicles Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't know if it's $2200 good, but I like the tone of it + a Tube Screamer on Endgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TornadoOfSouls Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's great. Now {censored} off asshole. I {censored}ed off on your ancestors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Horrible Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ok, here's the deal IMO. The JVM is great, big caveat, with the right pick ups and guitar, and cabs. 1. It sounds like {censored} with Eminences. I had a Basson 4x12 with eminence legends. Completly scooped {censored}ty fizz flat {censored}ness.Now with my Marshall 1960av with Marhsall Vintage Speakers (not stock v30's, sounded like {censored} with that too, Avatar sells them as the Hellatone 60L) it sounds godly. If you notice almost everyone who loves the {censored} out of thier JVM uses these speakers. Huge tight punchy low end, thick crunchy mids, and nice smooth dark top. It also sounds great with with my 1960B, but gets along perfect with my 1960av. 2. It {censored}ing hates EMGs. Hate, Hate, Hates EMGs. It gets along alot better with passives. The EMGs sound thin, harsh and feed back like a mother {censored}er. Now the 57 classics in my gold top. {censored}ing perfect, vintage raunch.The 500t in my Classic, huge meaty old shool metal sound. You can do thrash all day long, with gain at 10:30, or hardcore punk with the gain at 9:00 on od1 orange. The 498T in Studio, best modern hardcore tone I've ever heard.

It comforts me to know that you represent "a lot of people," especially since no one really likes you. If you spent half as much time going outside as you do writing comatose scriptures on HC, you might not be a virgin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tommy Horrible Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 interesting about the speakers. I'm of the opion that almost any amp, even a {censored}ing $5000 Diezel will sound like {censored} with with wrong speakers and cab. People who don't have alot of gear never get to {censored} around and mix and match to find this out. Some {censored} just doesn't mesh well, that simple. JVM loves Marshall cabs with Celestion speakers, and LP's with passives. Now the wierd part is my TSL, which usually pales by comparison to my JVM sounds huge with EMGs:confused: And the EMGs sound super {censored}ty with the JVM. Sometimes you just got to play around because {censored} you never thought would jive does, perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could neve understand people's slams against v30's until I got a avatar 2x12 with real v30's, and then I was like ohhhhhhhh, these are {censored}.

Members Ricky Rockhardo Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 i actually like my JVM quite a bit through a Mesa 2x12. Perhaps the OS cab tames the harshness of newer v30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dio Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use mine with the MF400 cab with the G12K100's in it.I prefer them over the V30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members igge Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Interesting stuff in here. As long as you like how the JVM sounds & responds with your guitar,buy it. Goes for all amps,really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevePage Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 I played the 100 watt 410 model. I really liked it. Probably the only new Marshall I've ever liked. The only other Marshalls I've played and liked are the Zakk Wylde JCM800's and the reissue JCM800's. The JVM is one of the best to come out ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
