    From Jim Marshall

    I would like to thank you personally for selectingone of our new ‘JVM’ amplifiers.

    Since I started Marshall Amplification in 1962 Ihave witnessed some incredible breakthroughsand advances in amplifier design technology,such as master volume amps, channelswitching, reverb, effects loops, MIDItechnology, speaker emulation and digitaleffects processing, to name just a few. Thesemay all seem commonplace features nowadaysbut that certainly wasn't always the case.However, the same values that were present inthe first Marshalls are still very much here today:meticulous workmanship, reliability, stylish looksand, above all, great Marshall tone.

    As a musician myself I fully understand the necessity ofachieving the right tone and feel to help inspire guitariststo reach their full creative potential - be they aspiringbeginners or more seasoned players. With this in mind I set myexperienced R&D team the task of designing a new range ofamplifiers that truly captured the essence of the Marshall sound while boasting thevery latest technological advances.

    The result is the JVM Series - our latest range of all valve amplifiers that combine allof the aforementioned values plus a few extra attributes and, of course, all of themagical Marshall tone you could ever want. I am proud to say that the new JVMSeries is truly a testament to the Marshall legacy of great guitar products.

    I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family…

    Yours Sincerely,

    Overview

    I. Channels, Modes & MemoryPresenting the 4-channel, 100 Watt, all-valveJVM amplifier (JVM410H head or JVM410C2x12" combo). Its 4 channels boast 3 modes,giving you a total of 12 different modes tochoose from - each with its own unique gainstructure. Even though its front panel contains atotal of 28 control knobs and 8 LED switches,the JVM is simple to understand and operatethanks to its extremely logical front and rearpanel layouts.

    The front panel contains dedicated sets ofcontrols for each of its 4 channels - CLEAN,CRUNCH, OD1 & OD2 - plus MASTER andREVERB sections. Each channel contains thefamiliar controls, Volume, Bass, Middle, Trebleand Gain. The REVERB section consists of 4Reverb level controls, one for each channelwhile the MASTER section is comprised of 2footswitchable Master Volumes, plus masterRESONANCE and PRESENCE controls thatwork universally on all 4 channels.

    Each of the 4 channels has 3 switchable modes.These are selected by the MODE switchdedicated to each channel. To select a channelpress its respective MODE switch (or step onthe relevant button on the supplied 6-wayfootswitch - see section II. Footswitch). Toscroll through the selected channel's 3 modeskeep pressing the said button and the colour ofthe LED in the switch will change from green toorange to red and then back to green. Doing thissteps-up the gain level each time (red being thehighest and green the lowest for each channel)and changes the channel's tonal voicing to suit.

    When you leave and then reselect a channel, itwill automatically recall the last active mode asall 4 channels remember the last mode theywere in until a change is made. For instance, ifyou select the Crunch channel’s orange modeand then go to the Clean channel, when youreselect the Crunch channel it will still beorange.

    In addition to channel and Mode selection, otherfeatures switchable via the front panel and thesupplied 6-way footswitch are Reverb (on/off)Master Volume selection (1 or 2), andSeries/Parallel effects loop (on/off). All 3 ofthese options are also remembered by eachMode.

    To sum up, each of the JVM’s 12 Modes willremember it’s most recent Reverb, FX loop andMaster Volume selection. Additionally mode

    setups can also be saved and recalled to one of128 locations via MIDI.

    II. Footswitch (UK patent pending)The JVM410H or JVM410C come supplied witha 6-way programmable footswitch which can beconnected to the amp via any standard guitarcable.

    *Please note that the supplied Footswitch lead isunscreened and not suitable for guitar.

    The 6-button footswitch features 7 LEDSmarked CLEAN, CRUNCH, OD1, OD2,MASTER, REVERB & FX. The LEDs for each ofthe 4 channels are 3-coloured Green, Orangeand Red, visually telling you which channel andmode is selected alongside the status of Master,Reverb and FX loop.

    The footswitch enables you to assign any of its6 switches to instantly recall any front panelfunction (Switch Store Mode) or completechannel setup (Preset Store Mode) in any orderand combination.

    For example, you could program it so that:

    Switch Store ModeAny footswitch is assigned to act as any one ofyour amp’s front panel switches:Channel/Mode; Reverb on/off; Master Volume1/2 and FX Loop on/off.

    If a switch is assigned to select a particularchannel once is has been activated, it can beused to scroll through the three modes, just likeits respective front panel switch.

    Or…

    Preset Store ModeEach switch can be programmed to instantly callup a combination of JVM button options to forma Preset. For example, you could program it sothat:

    Footswitch #1 = Crunch channel, green modewith Master Volume ‘1’, Reverb ‘on’ and FX loop‘off’.

    EN

    GLIS

    HEN

    GLIS

    H

    Footswitch #2 = Clean channel, red mode withMaster Volume ‘2’, Reverb ‘off’ and FX loop on.

    All the settings are stored within your footswitch;this means it can be plugged into any JVM4-Channel amplifier and all your footswitchsettings can be instantly recalled.

    Details on how to program your footswitch canbe found later in this manual.

    III. Power AmpThe power amp stage of the 100 Watt JVM isbased on the same as the one found in theJCM800 2203 and 1959 Superlead amplifiers,responsible for the legendary Marshall roar ithas been adjusted to suit the variety of tonesfound in the JVM. This section featuresPresence and Resonance control to help shapethe overall tone of your JVM amplifier.

    Your JVM is also equipped with a SilentRecording mode. When the STANDBY switch isOFF the power amplifier section is disabled butthe rest of the amplifier remains fullyoperational.

    IV. Studio Quality ReverbThe Marshall JVM410H and JVM410C areequipped with a studio quality digital reverbrouted in parallel to the main signal and mixedby means of a valve. When the reverb isengaged no degradation of the direct signaloccurs and when off it is effectively removedfrom the circuit. Each of the JVM’s 4 channelsalso has its own dedicated Reverb level control.

    The Reverb switching has been designed toavoid abrupt cut offs in the reverb tail so whenchanging from channel to channel or switchingthe reverb off, its tail naturally decays.

    Channel Overview

    The JVM’s front panel is divided into 2 mainsections: Channels and Master. Each of its 4channels has 3 modes which are distinguishedby a different coloured light (green, orange orred) appearing in the respective MODE switch;the preamplifier’s gain structure is uniquelyreconfigured for each and every mode.

    1. CLEAN CHANNELCLEAN GREEN MODE: This is the cleanest ofthe three modes and, in keeping with traditionalclean amps it uses a simple and straightforwardcircuit, keeping the signal as pure as possible.In this Mode the channel’s Volume control istaken out of circuit as is the case in vintageamplifiers of this nature. This is the only JVMmode where this happens.

    CLEAN ORANGE MODE: By adding anothergain stage after the tone stack we get apunchier sound that’s easy to overdrive. As inthe rest of the modes the channel's Volumecontrol is now active.

    CLEAN RED MODE: This mode pushes theoriginal clean sound even more and transformsitself into a pseudo high gain channel with theaddition of yet another gain stage after the tonestack.

    In keeping with the classic clean amps ofyesteryear, all three modes of this channelfeature what is known as a pre-gain tone stack(i.e. the tone network lies before the channel'smain gain stage). The reverse (i.e. the tonenetwork being after the main gain stage) istypical of most Marshalls and, as a result, theClean channel's tone controls work in a slightlydifferent way than you might expect. In additionto controlling the tone of the channel they alsoaffect how it reacts in terms of gain, allowingyou to shape how the signal distorts.

    For example, turning up the Middle control onhigher Gain settings will focus the distortionthere, making your sound ‘sing’ in a traditionalblues/rock way. Also, because of the channels’‘tone then gain’ topology, when a lot of gain isdialled in (especially in the case of the REDmode), it may appear that its tone controls aren'tdoing as much as you’d expect or sound overdistorted. This is because the signal is beingdistorted after the tone stage, minimising theeffectiveness of the Bass, Middle and Treblecontrols.

    2. CRUNCH CHANNELAt this point the JVM reverts to the more typicalMarshall preamp circuit characteristic of ‘gainthen tone’. This is also true of the OD1 and OD2channels.

    CRUNCH GREEN MODE: This mode sharesthe preamp topology of the classic MarshallJTM45/1959 ‘Plexi’ models (i.e.: gain + gain +tone) but with a bit more of gain than is found inthe originals.

    CRUNCH ORANGE MODE: This mode isreminiscent of the Marshall JCM800 2203amplifier, a staple of hard rock. The gainstructure is gain + gain + gain + tone.

    CRUNCH RED MODE: this shares the topologyof the Orange mode but with more gain, givingyou sounds similar to a hot-rodded JCM800.

    3. OD1 CHANNELOD1 GREEN MODE: This is very similar to thehot-rodded JCM800 sound found in ‘CrunchRed’, allowing you to dial-in two distinctlydifferent yet similar crunch sounds if you so wish- one in each channel.

    OD1 ORANGE MODE: This adds another gainstage to the ‘OD1 Green’ circuit, resulting in asound that’s perfect for singing leads and hardrock/heavy metal tones.

    OD1 RED MODE: Adds more gain to the ‘OD1Orange’ for a high gain Marshall sound.

    4. OD2 CHANNELThis channel is similar to the OD1 channel butwith even more gain and a slightly different tonenetwork with the Middle control shifted down tobeing centred around 500 Hz instead of themore typical Marshall value of 650 Hz. Theresult is 3 high gain modes that are ideal forboth lead and modern rhythm metal tones.

    The Basics

    We recommend that you fold out the inside backcover of this manual so that diagrams of theamp’s front and rear panels are visible while youread.

    MAINS INPUT & FUSE (16)Your amp is provided with a detachable mains(power) lead, which is connected here. Thespecific mains input voltage rating that youramplifier has been built for is indicated on theback panel.

    WARNING: Before going any further, makesure your amplifier is compatible with yourelectrical supply. If you have any doubt,please get help from a qualified technician -your Marshall dealer can help you in thisrespect.

    The correct value of mains fuse is specified onthe rear panel of the amplifier. NEVER attemptto bypass the fuse or fit one of the incorrectvalue.

    Mains (POWER) Switch (17)This is the On/Off switch for the mains electricpower to the amplifier.

    Note: Please ensure the amplifier is switched offand unplugged from the mains electricity supplywhenever it is moved!

    INPUT Jack Socket (18)You must always use a screened (shielded)guitar cable and never use an unscreened(unshielded) speaker cable. Also, this cableshould be one of good quality. If you are in anydoubt regarding this, your Marshall dealer will bemore than happy to help and advise you.

    Getting Started & Powering Up1. Make sure that the speakers/cabinet(s) areconnected to the correct impedanceLOUDSPEAKER jack(s) on the rear panel (1).See page 8 for specifics regarding impedancematching. If you’re using an extension cabinetmake sure it’s powerful enough to handle a 100Watt amp and also that you’re using a properspeaker cable. Never use a screened (shielded)guitar cable for this purpose

    WARNING!1. Failure to do any of the above will damageyour amp.2. NEVER use your amp without a (speaker)load attached when the Standby Switch isON.

    Marshall recommends you always leave a(speaker) load attached to the unit.

    2. Ensure that both MASTER VOLUMES on thefront panel (6) are set to zero.

    3. Connect the Footswitch Cable to theFootswitch and then connect to the FOOTSWITCHSocket on the rear panel of amplifier.

    4. Connect the supplied mains (power) lead intothe MAINS INPUT on the rear panel first andthen into an electrical outlet.

    5. Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack socketon the front panel.

    6. Turn the front panel POWER switch on. Thiswill glow red then wait for a couple of minutes.

    7. After waiting a couple of minutes, engage theSTANDBY switch. Leaving the amp on ‘Standby’for a period allows the valves to come up totheir correct operating temperature. In order toprolong valve life, the STANDBY switch shouldalso be used to turn the amplifier on and offduring breaks in a performance.

    STANDBY Switch & Silent recording (19)As stated above the STANDBY Switch is used inconjunction with the POWER Switch to ‘warmup’ the amplifier before use and to prolong thelife of the output valves.

    When the amplifier is in standby mode thewhole preamplifier section continues running atits nominal voltages whilst the power amplifierremains in a standby status. This allows theamplifier to be used for silent recording orpreamplification purposes.

    Only when the STANDBY is off can the amplifierbe used without a load. Always ensure a load isconnected when leaving the silent recordingmode, i.e. when switching the STANDBY switchON.

    Channel SectionPressing a channel button has two functions:

    When coming from a different channel it recallsthe last setting in the new selected channel.

    When pressing in the same channel it cycles themodes: GREEN > ORANGE > RED > GREEN...

    Each mode remembers the FX, Reverb andMaster settings.

    Example: You are in OD1 ORANGE with FX +REVERB and you press CLEAN. The ampswitches to the last Clean mode you had (let'sassume it was CLEAN GREEN with REVERB).If you press the OD1 switch you go back to OD1ORANGE with FX + REVERB. This allowsbouncing between channels without losing thesettings. If you now press OD1 again, you go toOD1 RED with whatever FX, MASTER andREVERB settings you had last time you were inthis mode.

    Pressing REVERB switches the reverb ON andOFF in the current channel.

    Pressing FX LOOP switches the parallel FX loopON and OFF in the current channel.

    Master Section5. REVERB ControlAlongside the REVERB switch each channelhas its own reverb control allowing individuallevel settings of the effect.

    6. MASTER 1 / MASTER 2These are the master volume controls of theamplifier. They can be assigned individually toeach of the modes as you wish and their settingwill be remembered in each of the modes.

    7. PRESENCE, RESONANCEThese controls are power amplifier controls andonly have effect when playing through a speaker(not in silent recording). They affect how thepower amplifier reacts to the connectedspeakers and how much control the amplifierhas over them.

    Increasing the RESONANCE controlemphasises the natural speakers resonance foran improved bass response. In the same way,increasing the PRESENCE control emphasisesthe speaker’s high frequencies which will beheard as an improved high frequency responsewhich adds presence to the sound.

    Presence and Resonance constitute a powerfulpower amplifier equaliser, allowing responsesfrom a ‘^’ shape when they are fully off, which isfelt as a mid boost, to a ‘v’ shape when they areturned clockwise, which is felt as a scoopedsound. Again, the effectiveness of these controlsis highly dependant on the kind of connectedspeakers. Care has to be taken to avoid overexcursion of the speaker cones in highresonance settings.

    8. FX LOOPThis is a programmable FX loop which featuresa MIX control on the rear panel and it is locatedafter the pre-amp, right before the reverb andserial loop circuits. Pressing the FX Switchengages this effects loop. Please refer to theSerial / Parallel Loop description later on in thehandbook for its operation.

    9. FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAMThis switch has a dual function:

    Pressing it once we enter the FOOTSWITCHPROGRAM mode. It is indicated by acontinuous red light.

    Pressing it twice we enter the MIDI PROGRAMmode. It is indicated by a blinking red light.

    Footswitch program and useThe JVM range features a new type of fullyconfigurable footswitch. Connection to theamplifier requires a standard mono 1/4" jack tojack cable. Any guitar lead will work andpractically there should be no limit in its length.

    When the front panel FOOTSWITCH / MIDIPROGRAM switch is off, the footswitch operatesin safe mode and executes the commands themoment the switch is pressed down.

    If you enter the FOOTSWTICH PROGRAMmode (LED red) you will be able to program thefootswitch but nevertheless the footswitch andthe amplifier will remain fully operational with theonly difference that the commands will beexecuted when releasing the footswitches, asopposed to the normal mode.

    Each of the individual footswitches has 2 modesof operation: preset store and switch store.

    In preset store mode, any of the footswitchescan be configured to store the current amplifierstatus. The current channel, master, FX andreverb status will be stored and recalled whenthe respective footswitch is pressed.

    To store the current status simply:

    Set the amplifier to FOOTSWITCH PROGRAMmode (red light ON).

    Press and hold the desired switch for about 3seconds.

    The FX footswitch LED will flicker a couple oftimes indicating that the preset has been stored.

    In switch store mode, any of the footswitchescan be configured to replicate the front panelswitches and the amplifier will react exactly inthe same way as when you operate them on thefront panel.

    All the front panel switches can be mapped toany of the footswitches without any limitation.The only exception is the FOOTSWITCH / MIDIPROGRAM key which cannot be assigned tothe footswitch.

    To assign any of the front panel keys (exceptFOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAM) to any of thefootswitches simply:

    Set the amplifier to FOOTSWITCH PROGRAMmode (red light ON).

    Press and hold the desired footswitch.

    While holding the footswitch down, in less than3 seconds, press the front panel switch youwant to map.

    The FX footswitch LED will flicker a couple oftimes indicating that the switch has beenmapped.

    From now on the selected footswitch will actexactly in the same way as if you press therelated front panel switch.

    Keys and presets can be assigned as wishedwithout limitation and in any order (again, exceptthe FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAM key). Thefootswitch configuration is stored in thefootswitch itself, not in the amplifier. Resettingthe amplifier will not affect the footswitchconfiguration as well.

    The footswitch can be hot-swapped andsynchronises itself with the amplifier afterconnection. However it is recommended toconnect the footswitch lead to the footswitchside first and then connect it to the amplifier.

    MIDI operationPressing the FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAMswitch twice puts the amplifier in MIDI waitingmode, the LED will flash until a valid MIDIprogram change command is received.

    On reception of a MIDI program changecommand the amplifier stores the current status(Channel + FX + Reverb + Master Settings) inthe MIDI program number received. It ispossible to store up to 128 different MIDIpresets.

    To exit this status without waiting for incomingMIDI data press the FOOTSWITCH / MIDIPROGRAM switch again.

    Note about MIDI channels: By default theamplifier is configured to listen to MIDI channel#1 but it can be changed to listen to any of the16 MIDI channels as follows:

    Switch the amplifier off (Power switch, notStandby).

    Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH / MIDIPROGRAM switch.

    Switch the amplifier on (Power switch).

    Release the FOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAMswitch, the LED will start to flash.

    Send ANY MIDI command using your MIDIpedalboard or any other MIDI equipment.

    The amplifier will detect which channel came inand configure itself to listen to that MIDI channelonly. From now on any MIDI preset you hadpreviously stored will be activated only on thenew channel regardless of what channel youused before, this allows a fast reconfigurationshould there be a MIDI conflict with any otheroutboard equipment.

    If you want to exit the MIDI channel selectionwithout any action press theFOOTSWITCH / MIDI PROGRAM switch whilewaiting for MIDI data.

    Rear Panel Operation

    10. SERIAL / PARALLEL FX LOOPThe JVM is equipped with a series / parallel FXloop. Connect your external FX gear input to theJVM SEND jack, and the FX output to the JVMRETURN jack. As described previously, thiseffects loop can be bypassed from the frontpanel and the amount of effect can be dialed inwith the MIX control.

    The +4dBu/-10dBV switch allows you toconfigure the loop for its use with eitherprofessional equipment (+4dBu setting) or withguitar level effects like effects pedals (-10dBVsetting).

    When MIX is set to WET all the signal goesthrough the external loop, adding more direct(unprocessed) signal as you turn it towardsDRY. This allows you to mix any amount of theexternal effect without loosing or degrading thedirect signal quality.

    When mixing the WET and DRY signals theexternal effects processor’s output should beconfigured to remove the direct (unprocessed)signal or unpleasant phasing effects may occurwhen mixing it again in the amplifier. If theamplifier sounds thin after connecting anexternal effect check that no direct signal isbeing returned from the processors output.

    Note that if the FX loop is ON and the MIXcontrol is set to WET without an externalprocessor connected, the amplifier will bemuted.

    11. POWER AMP INSERT / SERIAL LOOPThis is a passive loop connected right before themaster controls. It is a line level loop so it isrecommended to only use high headroomdevices to avoid signal degradation. Pluggingonly into the return jack allows the use of theJVM’s power section overriding the preamp.

    Master controls and the emulated line out arelocated after the serial loop so it is still possibleto take advantage of those features when usingan external preamplifier. The loop can be takenoff the circuit by pressing the BYPASS switch,but as opposed to the Series / Parallel loop thisswitch cannot be programmed.

    12. EMULATED LINE OUTThe pre master volume signal, processedthrough a 4x12 speaker cabinet emulator andelectronically balanced is made available at thisconnector.

    13. FOOTSWITCHConnect the supplied footswitch using anystandard 1/4" jack mono lead. Using any othertype of footswitch rather than the supplied willhave no effect and will be ignored by theamplifier.

    14. MIDI In / ThroughConnect any external MIDI gear to the MIDI InDIN socket. A copy of the signal in thisconnector will be available on the MIDI thrusocket to allow daisy chaining of MIDIequipment. Note that the JVM only acceptsincoming data and it is not able to send anyMIDI commands.

    15. SPEAKER OutputsThere are 5 speaker outputs available on therear panel. They are labelled according to theintended impedances:

    16Ω: connect any 16 ohms guitar cabinet to thisjack.

    8Ω: connect a single 8 ohms guitar cabinet ortwo 16 ohms guitar cabinets.

    4Ω: connect a single 4 ohms guitar cabinet ortwo 8 ohms guitar cabinets.

    WARNING, although the JVM amplifier has 5speaker outputs never attempt to connect morespeakers than rated. The safe combinations are1x16 Ohm, 1x8 Ohm, 1x4 Ohm, 2x16 Ohm or2x8 Ohm. Any other speaker configuration maystress the power amplifier section and inextreme cases may lead to valve and/or outputtransformer failure.

    HINTS & TIPSFactory ResetThis will erase all the MIDI presets and set MIDIreception channel to #1. Please note that oncethe memory is erased it cannot be recovered.

    Switch the amplifier off (power switch off, notstandby switch).

    Press and hold CLEAN CHANNEL / GAINswitch.

    Switch the amplifier on (power switch on, notstandby switch).

    The 4 channel LEDs will glow red.

    Release the switch.

    To confirm the factory reset press CRUNCHMODE switch.

    If you want to abort, press any other key.

    Footswitch Reset:It is possible to reset the footswitch to thefactory default status. This is achieved asfollows:

    Unplug the footswitch at any of the cable sides.

    Press and hold the switch #6 (right switch).

    Plug in the footswitch cord.

    Release the switch and the FX led will startblinking.

    If you want to erase the footswitch memorypress the switch #5. To keep the memory pressany of the #1 to #4 switches. Please note thatonce the memory is erased it cannot berecovered.

    Release the switch and the footswitch willsynchronise with the amplifier.

    The factory default is as follows:FSW #1: Clean ModeFSW #2: Crunch ModeFSW #3: OD1 ModeFSW #4: OD2 ModeFSW #5: MasterFSW #6: Reverb

    HintsHint 1: It is possible to use different modes inthe same channel with different volumes toavoid imbalance which can be especiallyinteresting in the Clean channel. To do thissimply create 2 presets in the footswitchassigning MASTER 1 or MASTER 2 to any ofthe modes.

    If you do not connect any effect to theSERIAL / PARALLEL FX LOOP the MIX controlcan be used to act like an extra volume controlin any of the channels.

    Hint 2: To have a tuner output muting theamplifier, connect the tuner to the FX send andselect the Clean channel. Turn the MIX controlto WET and switch the FX loop on. Store thispreset as described before and label it forexample as ‘tuner’. Obviously in thisconfiguration it is not possible to connect anyother effect to the loop.

    Hint 3: To use a different preamplifier andcombine it with the JVM channels, connect theexternal preamplifier output to the parallel loopreturn and turn the MIX to WET. Connect theexternal preamp input with a splitter to theamplifiers input (it might be necessary to use anactive splitter to keep a high impedance and/oran isolated one to avoid ground loops).Switching the effects loop ON and OFF willalternate between the external preamp and theJVM preamp.

    As the JVM reverb circuitry is connected afterthe parallel loop it is also possible to create apreset to add reverb to the external preamp. Todo this, simply switch the reverb ON and createa preset in any channel with the reverb ON andFX ON and assign it to the footswitch. Thatwould be external preamp + reverb.

    You can also go further and assign a differentMaster level to both external and internalpreamplifiers in the same way as you assignedreverb.

    Hint 4: Notes about using 2 headssimultaneously. The suggested procedure isconnect the ‘master’ head PREAMP OUT to the‘slave’ head POWER AMP IN and switch thePOWER AMP INSERT to ACTIVE in the ‘slave’amplifier.

    In order to track the master volume settings inboth heads (as the master volume circuitry iswired after the loop) it is suggested to use MIDIcontrol with both amplifiers programmed in thesame way. Connect the MIDI IN of one of theamplifiers to the MIDI THROUGH of the otherand the pedalboard or MIDI equipment to theremaining MIDI IN.

  • Unas palabras de Jim Marshall

    Me gustaría agradecerte personalmente el que hayascomprado uno de nuestros nuevos amplificadores “JVM”.

    Desde que fundara la empresa Marshall en 1962 hesido testigo de los avances más increíbles y rompedoresen la tecnología del diseño de los amplificadores, talescomo los amplificadores volumen master, laconmutación de canales, la reverb, los lazos de efectos,la tecnología MIDI, la simulación de altavoz y losprocesadores de efectos digitales, por nombrar unoscuantos. Estas características tan comunes hoy en día,no lo fueron tanto hace unos años. Sin embargo, losmismos valores que estuvieran presentes en los primerosamplificadores Marshall están todavía hoy en nuestrosamplis: un riguroso proceso de construcción, un acabadovistoso y estilista y, sobre todo, el gran Sonido Marshall.

    Como músico que soy, entiendo perfectamente la necesidad deconseguir ese sonido que te inspire y te ayude en el procesocreativo - ya seas principiante, iniciado o profesional - Con esto enmente, encargué a mi equipo de I+D la tarea de diseñar una nueva familiade amplificadores que captara totalmente la esencia del Sonido Marshall, a la vez quedispusieran de los últimos avances tecnológicos.

    El resultado es la Serie JVM - nuestra última serie de amplificadores de válvulas quecombina todos los valores que hemos mencionado antes más unos cuantos atributos másy, por supuesto, toda la magia del Sonido Marshall. Estoy orgulloso de poder decir que lanueva Serie JVM es verdaderamente un testamento al legado de los buenos productos deguitarra de Marshall.

    Te deseo grandes éxitos con tu nuevo Marshall. Bienvenido a la familia…
