The JVM410H is one killer amp. From pristine cleans to melt your face it covers it all. It is so virsitile with the programmable footswitch. And when they say easy to set up they are not kidding. It took me maybe 20 minutes to set the switching the way I wanted and maybe 45 minutes to decide witch pedals sounded better through the send/return and witch In the front. Being an all tube amp it has a warmth to it even with the bass section nearly off. I have both the AVT410H and C amps and there is no comparison. I've also owned and played through 100s of amps in my 50 years of searching for the lost chord and I may never find it but this amp has definitely gotten me a lot closer. Yes, it's spendy but well worth it.

This is just and amazing head... I can't complement it enough. I wanted so many of the iconic Marshall tones but couldn't afford to go out and buy a JCM 800, 900, Plexi...etc. This head truly does a great job of getting all the tones your looking for. It does take a little dialing in with all the different modes in each channel to find what they all do... but once you have it kind of figured out its a tone machine. the included foot switch is a pleasant surprise also. It's programmable and works like a charm with just a normal guitar cable. I have also used the midi switching capabilities and they are also wonderful, though not as easy to use as the foot switch. If you are a gigging musician or just want a lot of options.....get one of these!

I have had this for about a year. Very good amp, but not as easy to use as other Marshall's that I own. it is a different platform, Hence it does not get dialed in the same way you would for like a JCM900 or 2000DSL, etc. It is a TRUE all tube amp (with NO diode clipping), so it is a little trickier to get the sound out that you want. first, it is super high gain, so you don't need a lot on the gain knob (set to about 40% is good). For good high gain sound, turn the CHANNEL volumes down to zero, take the master volume to about 60%, then slowly turn up the channel volume to where you like it, then Jockey the 2 volumes to fine tune... then toggle between each channels gain stage to see what you like the best...Also, this amp likes more speakers, ie, a 4 12 cab sounds ... MoreI have had this for about a year.

And like all good tube amps, as you crank it, it sounds better... FX loop is flawless. best reverb you will ever hear. clean channel is outstanding. A good amp in it's own right, but if you are looking for a simpler amp to use that sounds great, I would say a JCM800, or 900, or 2000, might be more up your alley. the foot switch set up on the JVM seems overly complicated at first, but once you learn it, it is very easy and intuitive ... A very good amp. Not my favorite, but definitely will not get rid of it. gives me some tones that I can't get any other way...

I added a 5mH choke and dis a controllable negative feedback mod...this really increases the tightness, the low-end, and the headroom of the amplifier (did other mods as well but these are the most noticeable).I run a G-Major and a Rocktron Hush 2 in the effects loop and control it all with a Behringer FCB1010. This allows me to create a bank of presets for each of the 4 channels for each of the different modes...With tweaks of the EQ in the G-Major..It really is like having 24 different Marshall amplifier sounds.Midi programming this head is stupid simple!The effects loops can be assignable (on/off) and there is no tone degradation while using the loops.I tried some pre-amp tube rolling and found the stock Marshall branded 12AX7's to actually be better than ... MoreI added a 5mH choke and dis a controllable negative feedback mod...this really increases the tightness, the low-end, and the headroom of the amplifier (did other mods as well but these are the most noticeable).I run a G-Major and a Rocktron Hush 2 in the effects loop and control it all with a Behringer FCB1010.

Oh...and re-bias this thing...Marshall sends them out on the 'cold' side (mine was about 32mA)...Bringing it up to 37ma-40ma of current or 70mV-74mV (depending upon your method) really livens it up as well.
Now I've read all these reviews, hiss, thin ,unusable, WHAT !! Been playing for 45 years ,this amp rocks. All the marshalls in one box. Try turning the gains down in the OD channels, I can do VH in OD 1 with orange mode and gain on 9:00 ,turn my guitar down and it's almost clean. OD2 red mode ,gain at 10:00 ,Alice and chains easy . This amp has tone and sustain. And by the way when tubes are rated the higher number is cleaner . I can play country to Strat Cats to Steve Vai .Its spot on in every tone I play
First off Musician's Friend needs to list the specific issues with the Open Box items and not make a generalization of the contents so that buyers can make more informed decisions. I ordered the first head at a steep discount. All the accessories were included however the head would not produce any sound, so I returned it. The second head I ordered was at a modest discount however the footswitch was missing. It worked but the voicings and tones were not what I was expecting. Some of the youtube videos I watched must be super processed because I could not get the "plexi" tones / voicings Nor the JCM 800, I was anticipating. I own a Mesa Mark V which kills this amp. I do like however on the Marshall JVM how you can use the footswitch to toggle between all the ... MoreFirst off Musician's Friend needs to list the specific issues with the Open Box items and not make a generalization of the contents so that buyers can make more informed decisions.

The versatiliy of this amp is outstanding. The clean channel is stunning and coupled with the digital reverb takes it to another level. With my duncan equipped strat were talking dave gilmour. The cruch and drive channels do everything youd expect from a marshall and more. Mix in a les paul alongside the strat, and you can dial in a multitude of iconic marshall sounds, moore page, slash, its all there. I had very good sounds set up in a few hours and now its just needing some fine tuning. Great amp
I bought this head as a spare to my new one. I paid $1400 which is about a $1000 below average ... AND I was able to pick it up locally!!! As this head is used, it has generic tubes in it. I dont know what brand they are; I dont know how old they are; and I dont know how hard the previous owner beat on them. So I contacted Marshall Support to get Marshalls part numbers to order new tubes through Guitar Center. Ill also get the cover (its for the Valvestate head - CVER-00005). I fellow guitarist turned me onto this particular head cuz you can channel switch between 4 levels of distortion instedda fiddling with knobs! (Soooo handy!!!) My only bitch would be - rather than have a dedicated reverb for each channel, ID prefer if I could switch between reverbs like you can ... MoreI bought this head as a spare to my new one.

(Might see if I could get that modded.) Overall, very happy with this transaction, and very happy with Marshall! Nothin like em!
Sound:The sound of a Marshall in all flavors... (JCM, Plexi, and more) Pristine Marshall Clean to Face Melting Overdrive, and everything in between. I love having a Gain control for the clean channel. I have a TSL head, which will now be my back up head, and love the gain for the clean channel on it. There are those moments when a bit of gain when you're playing clean, is needed, to accentuate a riff or a phrase. Plus, having three stages of gain per channel and being able to dial in the gain amount for each stage is a godsend. Those of us, who play through a Marshall, understand and know, there is, absolutely, nothing that sounds like a Marshall, and for all intent and purpose, Rock and Roll was built with Marshall.Features:For me... one of the most useful ... MoreSound:The sound of a Marshall in all flavors...

Those of us, who play through a Marshall, understand and know, there is, absolutely, nothing that sounds like a Marshall, and for all intent and purpose, Rock and Roll was built with Marshall.Features:For me... one of the most useful features is the 3 stages of gain within each channel, and as I mentioned above, being able to dial in the amount of gain. Yes, I have a thorough pedalboard, and a fine selection of OD/Distortion Pedals, but as with most things, there's a time and place for use. I like the direct out line, as I have a solid recording facility in my home, but, at the same time, I'm more apt to mic the amp. Control layout is great, logical, and easily used.Ease of Use:As with most Marshalls, at least the Tube amps, it's as easy to get great sound, by just turning it on, playing through it. But, the JVM 410 has much more in it. In my experience, every amp has a "sweet" spot setting for each of the channels. The JVM 410 has, effectively, 12 channels, given the 4 'actual' channels and the 3 stages within each channel, so finding the sweet spot within each "stage", will take a minute to find the "sweet" spots.Quality:It's Marshall Quality. I will, over time, I'm sure, find out the best tubes to use, when the need to replace tubes arrives.Value:Since there isn't anything comparable to a JVM 410, one can't really compare. But I felt the price is justified and of decent value.Manufacturer Support:I've only dealt with zZounds and they're fabulous.The Wow Factor:Obviously, it's a thing of beauty, but the real WOW is it's voice in all stages and form. It is quintessential Marshall sound.Overall:In a nutshell, you couldn't want more in and from an Amp. Granted, it's Marshall's flagship and for obvious reasons. I have waited a very, very long time to acquire a JVM 410, I've watched the demo videos over and over and over again, and when done, then thinking, one day... Well, that day has come. The head sits atop my 1960 speaker stack.
Firstly, I am in a bar/party cover band of older (>30 years to nearly 60) musicians with day jobs. We are not all Recent Hits, but do mostly songs people have heard of in all years from mid 60s to this year. The flexibility of this head is its big feature for someone like me. This is not a prescriptive review -- this is just how I use it.Some of the skeptics have wondered why you would need 4 channels with 3 tones each. They have a good point, but not one that applies to a cover band.If I had to have one amplifier, it would have to produce the tones that this amp can do on channel 2 (crunch) green and orange, and channel 3 (OD1) green and orange. Crunch orange and OD1 green are quite similar and are the tones of the classic plexis and old Marshalls.

Crunch orange and OD1 green are quite similar and are the tones of the classic plexis and old Marshalls. Crunch green is what you would want for "clean" tone with a Marshall level of compression and just a little breakup for an electric guitar. OD1 at orange is what you would do for distorted classic rock -- adding an overdrive in front of a plexi or a very saturated pickup, for example. For every song I really like, and everything I would do if I wasn't doing covers, those two channels at those two colors would cover it.For gigs, I can set channel 1 (clean) and Channel 4 (OD2) to be more extreme. The clean channel is actually what i use to be my acoustic guitar and occasionally as my hollow body electric emulating an acoustic. It is not perfect, nor is as good as having a specialized acoustic amp or clean tone jazz amp. However, it is good enough, and it simplifies the signal path to not have separate amps, and there is enough separate EQ to make it work.Channel 4 can be used for dirtier, more distorted stuff, and the weird thing is that now I use it entirely for country. My band doesn't do any metal, and the heaviest guitar sounds we do are the likes of Carrie Underwood.Getting the hiss to go away is not that big of a deal -- put an MXR Smart Gate or any other gate I've tried into the _serial_loop_ and twist the knobs -- it will take care of the problem. The JS head might be better and I haven't tried it. I do appreciate that you can't use the OD channels on this without a noise gate, but it isn't a big dial to fix. The reverb is good but nothing special.Reading this review before submitting, I realize that the oddest thing is that I personally have no use for any of the red versions of the four channels. That is probably a classic rock attitude -- this thing has a lot more metal tone than I will ever use, so you should use other reviews if you want that.
