What you do? Turn the bass to zero? It sounds so tinny. Sort've sounds like a wah stuck in the down position. Terrible. I heard a few clips of this amp and it sounded good. You need to work on eq''ing.
The JVM's are great, but if u r looking 4 one that has a bit more than this go with the JVM 410. I have one, it's got 4 channels each with three seperate channels so u actually have 12! plus a great reverb.. for a digital. Plus a six channel programmable footswitch! and soo much more!
But if u want more metal out of your JVM, put it on OD2 (overdrive 2) and use a guitar with an EMG. It is a bitchin sound! Rock on... and Get a JVM 410!
Dude can you play this at bedroom levels? I heard you will need a hot plate or attenuator to push the tubes at bedroom level... and i'm assuming you can't plug headphones into it lol
If by bedroom levels you mean quiet, then yes it actually can go very quiet... but if u turn up the vol, it will split your ears in a room the size of a bedroom.
And no mine does not have a headphone jack but i'm sure you could find ones that you could hook up to your speaker output on the back of the head.
Hey thanks man I appreciate it... the 215 is the 50 watt correct? so it will break up sooner than the 100 watt... and i know the combo comes with celestion v30's i think, but every half stack i see on here most people are using 1960 cabs, and i think those have green backs? do you have an opinion on these speakers?
I use a 1960, but it is really up to you to go play and compare both.... opinions really do matter.
The 215 is a 50w and the jvm comes in both 100w and i believe 150w, but the 1960 cabs are usually rated for 300w. So no matter how loud you turn the vol up, you wont get that stupid muffled sound that is caused when the speaker can't do what you are telling it to.
Also, the 410 is easier to use if u do alot of channel switching, because on the 215, clean and crunch r on the same channel.
the 215c will run about 2500 - 2600 american, and the 410c will rune about 2900. I have a 410, and its amazing. But remember the "c" means combo, so the head is built into the speaker. If you want a 215h or 410h, it will cost more for the head (because it will put out more power) and you also have to buy a speaker cabinet. I sugest going out and trying 'em all out. Good luck man, and if you get it, i hope you love it.
if you an effects pedal through the effects loop u can use the headphone out from that to hear the amp on 'silent operation/ standby' mode. |And no, you don't need a hot plate or attenuator, this is 2009- plenty of gain stages.
Thanks. I'm just playing a combo of minor pentatonic and some Eastern-flavored stuff there at the end. I don't know music theory well enough to explain what scale(s) I'm playing.
You sound great and that amp sounds great. I have the model 205C. I notice a big difference in volume, bottom end, and gain when switching from mode to mode on my amp. How have you set the controls on yours?
Cheers for that guy! I've been waiting for a vid of this combo for ages and it seems like the amp for me. I'm glad the first video up was from someone who had a decent video camera and who could actually play! Cheers!
I have this amp- the sound is great at low volume- but the EQ sounds like ass at low volumes. I find a good starting place is to put the Drive channels EQ all on 0- then work up from there. Otherwise you will end up with harsh, thin and fizzy distortion.
Also the stock speaker is muddy- so swap it out for a vintage 30 or something- this is a very cheap mod to do- and you can always pick one up from Evil bay.
Loads of variation. With subtle eq adjustment it does fat and warm- with high eq settings it does that classic Marshall wasp-in-a-jam-jar-upset-the-sound-engineer sort of sound :) Seriously though- I've always hated marshalls, but this amp has really changed my mind about them. I also find the fact that it has a useable clean channel a bonus, plus it can go from totally clean to fat OD just by using the vol control on the guitar.
Quick question- has anyone tried the XLR line out? Any good?
whats the difference with 215 jvm and the 210 dont know much about this thanks??

jvm 410 with 12 channels is overkill. cant beat the JVM2 mate. I love mine. Less fucking about and a simpler footswitch. 50w crankable beast.
