Marshall JMD Guitar Amplifier Demo - Nevada Music UK

[FaimlyGuyFan]

What are the downsides to this amp tho ? Great amp

[nuterwq321]

6 50 amazing sound!!!1

[HeilTheOperator]

This amp is too good to be true. I own 2 JMD100 heads and I still can't believe how many awesome natural and rich sounds I can get of it. After trying lots of all valve amps, I never thought that the one I would love more, would have a digital preamp. Softube got an A+ with their Natural Harmonic Tecnology.

[r0b3rt0gu3rra]

this amp is so sexy>3>

[MrNirvanerd]

Good for the multi-man, not for experts...

[solerso68]

@MrDvirHamadbir youve never heard, a really good sounding guitar amp, much less used one, have you... and dont tell me "I own 10 plexis and my house is full of Tweed Fenders" because i KNOW your a Line 6 wannabe.You want to plug into an amp (why i dont know) and have 10 switches and knobs that say things like "1968 overdrive" or "brittish inavsion clean" or some crap. Buy a decent guitar and a Champion 600 or VJ.. Learn how to play and what an electric guitar sounds like. see if you like it.

[solerso68]

GOD that thing sounds bad.

[joja93x]

@solerso68 its sounds good

[solerso68]

@joja93x My previous comment was more snooty than it needed to be, and WTH, if you like the way this sounds then you have another option. I will make one last remark on this. The amp is over priced, and you could get the same results with one of the "virtual" amplifiers they make for PC's. This amp, like the sound of it or no, is a rather cheaply made Chinese toy. A gadget. Marshall has really Fallen low, and i hate to think whats coming When JM finally goes to amp heaven. god forbid

[MrJcsettlemyre]

Id rather buy a used JVM.

[Nickster316]

MA or JMD?

[Floresclarkharold]

Digital?? I rather use the JMV series' preamp and use the boss gt-10's effects than sacrificing the marshall tone with this all digital amp...

[mrtwitchylizard]

@PIlotrcm Your comment doesnt make much sense...So your saying that when you use pedals it completely takes the preamp tubes out of the equation. Thats complete bullshit! All of these players use ALL TUBE AMPLIFIERS! They dont use something that has digital preamps. Also alot of players get pedals that have something called TRUE BYPASS...You ever heard of it...When u have the effects off it doesnt color the tone on your amp. Also David Gilmour uses ALOT of analog pedals...nothing digital there

[Myuralz]

If this amp was bad, and didn't sound natural, like some of the people say on here...then artists like Paul Gilbert wouldn't play through them. Don't know about you guys but I think Gilbert's guitar sounds pretty good.

[GeorgeChucher]

somebody tell me the songs heplays please???

[MrDvirHamadbir]

im a gigging musician and had a lot of marshalls amp, this amp sound as good as the other marshalls amp!, if it was written in the title instead of the jmd jcm you would say, wow killer tone best amp, and if they put in the title jmd new digital amo your saying ohh sound digital to me.

you can like it or dislike it, this is the true get over it, its perfect amp!

[s3njibaz]

@MrDvirHamadbir Digital,Analog...It just needs to sound good,for 'most' people if they heard this without knowing what it was they would like it. People can be snobbish.

[1ocd]

Oh dear. It sounds truly shit!

[MrDvirHamadbir]

@1ocd what is going on with you guys?? i want to know who are you? who can say that thing? what amp do you have, poo?? or shit?

[JBL8863]

I bought the JMD 50watt head brought it home and plugged it into my 1960 4X12 cab then tried out all the pre set tones...

Not even close to the real thing...This is a beginer amp head and it's very cheaply made. The clean channels loose gain imediately noticable when you switch em. The gain channels are bad and the noise gate isn't nessasary in this amp.

Maybe over time Marshall might improve on this cheap type design but in the end I brought it back after using it for one weekend.

[MrDvirHamadbir]

@JBL8863 you see, i hate people like you because you are lier, if you were really tried this amp, you would not say this, now go try a real one!

[blooperjohn]

sorry, you want tone, you need the real thing, not a digital copy.

[DerekBeck87]

@blooperjohn Well said ;) !

[claytoons]

If Darth Vader played guitar he would have an ENGL!

[LilClapton]

MY Fender Blues Junior 3 Fifteen Watt A Class Valved amp has a better crunch sound than that, and it doesnt even have a Gain built in on it :/

[Kyosho445]

This amp sounds monster! I have to get it!

[PhilTCO13]

THIS IS THE AMP FOR STAR WARS FANS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[liam12rutherford]

6:23!! what is that? that sounds awesome

[polloramirez]

Playing starts @4:01

[Fersagen]

i closed this right after the word digital.

[motorheadanthrax]

i've got a line 6 spider 3 15w and it's distortion is way better...

[6StringMoFo]

@motorheadanthrax ROFL

[6StringMoFo]

@motorheadanthrax Scoop it some more kid

[GianpaoloUsai]

@motorheadanthrax Come on dude.....you make me laugh hard !!

[101Sizlack]

Is this valve?

[bignickm99]

Would the combo sound good at low volume? i mean really low, i have a 4 month old baby at home. I want good heavy distortion from a combo i can use to gig with and use at home to practice with at low volume.........

[robibm2003]

The distortion sounded like it was recorded in a cement mixer. No warmth at all! Ugh! Not quite as shitty as a Line 6 Spider, but not far off of it, either. And the thrash bit had NO BALLS. You get a better tone for that out of a Vox AC30VR and at half the price with warmer cleans.

[jvianez]

this sounds like shit... why don't you use your laptop and amplitube, then?

[MrElfro89]

amazing... £600 worth of fizzy shitty distortion...

[brucekirk89]

i have marshall tatted on my leg rapped around my calf

[liedjaeger]

At the Marshall site under products and going to the JMD and then selecting the Theater option, there's a video call JMD performance. And this is what thrills me, it sounds great, nice cleans and nice punchy distortions with all the juice and stuff. I own one JMD, the combo version with 100watts but I cannot make it sound the way it sounds there or in this video. I want to take it back to the store and compare it, I'll bring my guitar and cables. Not happy with it at all for now

[jdakjr]

A lot of what you're hearing also has to do with the quality of your computer speakers/monitors.

[BRADHblackdragon]

does the headphone bypass the power tubes? thanks

[luteplayer2525]

I have to say, this JMD 50amp sounds very solid state. Distortion sounds harsh like those transistor Peavey MOSFET amps I used to play as a child, only because that was all I could afford. Terrible solid state tone. If it's not all tube, the tone always sounds horrible. Now the all tube Marshall's always sound great.

[222dwardo]

"With the foot controller you can store up to 28 different sounds"... I wouldn't want to store one of those crappy sounds, let alone 28.

[dave0504]

man that sounds horrible!

[riseofthefallen301]

man every tone sucks! marshall, what did you do?

[peezzi]

With this amp you get only Marshall sounds, with Blackstar you can get also Fender and Mesa sounds and its all tube...I tried the 50W JMD combo and the Blackstar HT-40 and in my opinion Blackstar sounds sooooo much better and you don´t have to crank it like you have to do with the JMD to get a good sound

[pankakeman800]

does the amp come with the footswitch

[BoneyardShadow]

@pankakeman800

yes it does

[kwstakhs24]

what cabinet you use .telm me please

[apguitarguy401]

Hahahaha. Marshall should be ashamed to have their name on this amp. A great guitarist is doing the demo, and it still sounds like a mid grade amplifier, equivalent to the line6 spider heads with the tube power section. Never though I'd see the day that Marshall went digital for anything other than beginner amps like the MG series.

[crzymaniacman352]

at the first five seconds of this video i jizzed in my pants

[sonsofthedessert]

Ei soi sitten pätkääkään!!!

[Zerottaja]

@sonsofthedessert Haistasinäpaskasinäsuomalainen­youtubevihaaja. :) Aion ostaa just tuollaisen itelle (Y)

[jiipeep]

@Zerottaja Oikeesti!! Älä osta!! Tää on digitaalipaskaa suurella todennäköisyydellä.. Mulla oli ennen Marshallin JMP-1 jota kans kaikki kehu. Puoli vuotta veivasin ja veivasin ja ikäänkuin se olisi kuullostanut hyvältä kun oikein yritti kuunnella ;) Sitten kyllästyin ja hommasin Mesa Boogien oikeen putkietusen ja se oli siinä!! Tämä JMD pörisee ja sirisee aivan samanlailla kuin se JMP-1.

[sonsofthedessert]

@Zerottaja Kuuntele nyt vaikka noita Marshall JVM demoja ennen kuin ostat ;) Digitaalietuset ei IKINÄ tuu soimaan samalla tavalla kuin putket!

[TheTheGatman]

my next amp, i think soo! 

[ten25go]

I watched every demo on the Marshall Amp website and damn, he is straight to the point and explains EVERYTHING perfectly... Watching the Demos actually turned me on to sample the JMD series, then sure enough, ended up getting it! 10/5 stars on all the demos!!

[MrSlainAngel]

This is fucking amazing :) \m/

[fragrenade1]

5:10 reminds me of AC/DC :D

[leonard1893]

@fragrenade1

your ears may be broken...

[fragrenade1]

@leonard1893 He plays the chords to Back in Black but with a different rhythm. It might have helped that I had been listening to them like seconds before I watched this video :L

[TheBlind97]

guitar?

[fvdhater]

Ik heb nu 21-05-2010 zelf de JMD:1 501 Combo gekocht en klink echt super!!!!!

Wat een super sound!

Goede uitvinding van Marshall.

Mijn complimenten aan Marshall.

Ik ben er heel erg gelukkig met mij JMD:1 Combo

Ik wil binnenkort een Cabinet eronder kopen

Nogmaals mijn complimenten.

Groetjes Fred van den Hater (Nederland)

[ElGuitaristo79]

"If Darth Vader played guitar..." hahaha! :)

[theShowStopper321]

If this has a digital preamp and an EL34 power section, how hard do u have to drive it to have the majority of sound pumped thru the tubes? Does the signal get pushed thru the power tubes constantly or at a certain point?

[headbagger63]

i have one thing to say about digital amps FUCK'EM. There horrible i have a Line 6 amp and it sucks nothing but a heaping pile of over rate shit. you can get any kind of tone out of any amp you see as long you know what you are doing but digital amps will never sound as good as real tube amps or even solid state amps. digital amps cut out a lot of harmonics and they can't get a good distortion tone at all

[ChanielDang]

@headbagger63 well maybe it's because you used a line 6, those are pretty much either metalhead or beginner amps. try a marshall hand-wired, those are excellent. I personally like solid state because it's not as fragile as tubes, and you don't have to replace them. the amp in this video is very good though.

[headbagger63]

@ChanielDang dude i tried this amp once and it is good sounding i recommend them to anyone who doesn't know anything about amps. but between this amp and any other tube amp out there like the JCM 800 or the JCM 2000 I'd play them over this amp any day. because like digital technology it takes away a lot of harmonic overtones that are important to getting a great tone. as for tube v solid state. i like tubes better because in my mind they sound better and you can push the gain and volume more

[ChanielDang]

@headbagger63 yeah, but unfortunately my bank account can't hold like over 2000 dollars at any time hahaha. I'd pick the JMD anyway, because of my preference for solid state. I like the power that tubes give you, but not the maintenance that comes with it. it's just so tiring to have to go and change tubes or get them repaired after I drop the head on accident or something haha

[headbagger63]

@ChanielDang dude this amp has a tube power stage of EL34 power tubes and i understand that tube amps can be trouble some but thats the nature of the beast man good guitar needs some work on occasion. also tube amps work better with effects

[ChanielDang]

@headbagger63 oh well I'll take this amp anyway even if it has tubes because it's a hybrid and costs little compared to other marshalls.

[Yournextguitargod]

@headbagger63 I disagree try a boss gt8 and put it through a nice set of powered speakers if you know anything about tweaking sounds you can get amazing tone. It doesn't sound fake at all, unless you have a bad guitar or don't know what your doing. I do agree if money isn't an issue tubes are better, the mark 5 and 6505 still have a certain feel to them that given there nature a program can never copy perfectly.

[headbagger63]

@Yournextguitargod i know alot about tweaking sound and i have a good guitar but i like amps that sound good to being with and the only digital amp i like is a rack Pre amp made by Mesa called the triaxis. the gt8 by boss is good i tryed it once but when i get the money i want a tube amp

[sas71]

HA!!

i wouldnt consider the Mode Four sacred ..cant believe they even grouped it in with the classic Marshall line up.

[yucelozel]

You scare for line6 :) haha!

[MegaGVM]

Hey NevMUK!

Which Marshall Cabinet is that?

Thx!

[shredicon86]

I see Predator is helping them out with the review...

[steveschu]

Sounds pretty "thin" to me. Can't beat tubes.

[kdoverock]

the jmd has alot of vintage and modern marshall amps, metal amps too like the valvestate. so yeah it can do metal

[rocker1289]

is this amp good for playing metal ? cause im tired of hearing chrunch distortion in all this demos

[NNX7]

@rocker1289

if u wanna play metal get a jvm...much better ;)

[headbagger63]

@NNX7 jvm is good i like the jcm 2000 better it sounds more like a original Marshall but jvm is still good

[Basic002]

i donno:/ for this price we can find used dsl 50s and they're original JCM 2000s!

It's a really good idea to amplify with EL34 tubes, sounds more realistic.. but I wouldn't buy it...

[fejertamas]

Can someone tell me what sound can be heard between about 7:07-7:22? I mean, which amp is modelled during that part?

[mhw6160]

That would be the Mode 4 setting

[andyguitarz]

only one EQ for all channels??

[n00bHunter07]

You can store each EQ/effect/whatever settings into preset banks (which are footswitchable) so there's no need for seperate EQs.

And there are no "channels" on this amp, only amp models.

[surfnorthwest1]

I got the first one Sweetwater got, JMD 100 watt. I am a recording artist and usally use a 100watt 69 superbass, Dr Z EZG50, and a Marshall Vintage Modern 2466, so I understand tone. This amp is amazing, first digital pre I have heard that sounds good enough for me to buy.

If you are skeptical research the technoligy used in making the voices of the preamp for this amp, the company is called SoftTube.

Great amp and a proud new owner, try it before you knock it... I bought it.

[XJONGSANGX80]

I actually tried this amp out and BOUGHT it on the same day. I really like the sound of this interesting amp..this video doesn't do the justice at all.

[skidjs]

Why would they assume that Darth Vader doesn't play guitar.

[stratsnpauls]

haha, what's with the star wars text?

a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, there was the Marshall JMD

[BreakItDown5150]

People are so ignorant... Every1 thinks that just cause an amp has a digital pre-amp, that its automatically makes it sound terrible.. well i think this sounds fantastic, idec that its digital. I play a lot of vintage amps, and this definitely, sounds as good as them.

[HarvaayTHELAUNCH]

id much rather spend the money on one model... which is, well.... real.

[Account091027]

yes kids, this one amp sounds EXACTLY like the 16 expensive amps it models. you don't have to buy several of those. we'd rather have you buy this ONE amp so we earn less and you've got exactly the same sounds and there is NO reason to spend more money on more amps.

yeah, sure...

[ollemannen5]

sounds kickass

[BassDude50000]

LEFTIES ALL DAY

[invictorium]

what guitar is he using???????

i really wanna know

any ideas?????????? looks like a gibson les paul style

[NevadaMusicUK]

Its a LAG guitar

[theShowStopper321]

@NevadaMusicUK I wish u announced which settings u were using as u played.

[invictorium]

@NevadaMusicUK thank you

[klummster88]

@invictorium It's a LAG Imperator I believe, check out the I3000 model. That's it I think.

[blindness7]

@invictorium I ts a lag but you will need some money because its very expensive if i remeber^^

[SlashLesPaul321]

these look nice!

[halonerd45]

Lefty WOOOO :D

[LordOfThisWorld74]

Those tones at the end are to die for

[ubad00d]

Lol, "If Darth Vader played guitar........He'd have this amp" XD

[john26051993]

First Comment,

I like these amps thinking of getting one!!
