Marshall JMD-1 Sound Check - Nevada Music UK

We stuck a Zoom Q3 video/audio recorder in front of a new Marshall JMD combo and let rip. The JMD really comes into its own when your trying to find that classic tone from the past that only a Marshall amp can deliver. You have 16 different classic set-ups right at your fingertips and can sweeten the job with high quality fx too and save all this into memory and recall it on the footswitch. If your fed up with menu's and manuals but still want a very flexible and credible amp then check one out.

We think it sounds just like a Marshall ! Just like 50 years of Rock.

Is this a tube amp???

[NevadaMusicUK]

Digital Marshall amp model front end and EL34 valve power amp section like a normal Marshall valve amp. Bit of both I'd say.

[weaselpopper]

sounds digital, not my cup of tea

I mean really who is fooled into thinking this sounds remotely like a full tube Marshall?

[spudgun05]

@weaselpopper Have you ever tried one?I own amps from jtm45's to dumbles clones to cornford's and trust me in the flesh this amp in a good bit of kit.It sound very valve like ,no other modeler amp sounds like this!. With a a-b box into this amp 50watt and into a jcm 900 50 watt both amps with their own greenback loaded 4x12 marshall cabs this amp cuts the mustard.

This is one of the worst demo's I have ever heard. Compared to the other demo's of this amp, it almost apears as though this player is purposly trying to get a crappy sound. He plays parts that don't match up to the tone he is playing through. The Van Halen riffs are completely off, tone wise. Sounds like the player doesn't even know the difference between the nech and bridge pickup. The "Whole Lotta Love" part was making me laugh out loud. Are you kidding?

this vid does this amp no justice what so ever. go try one out. the stock speaker is kinda crappy. Settings also matter. A vintage marshall doesn't have the same tone stack as a modern so you just can't leave all the controls to 12 and change the models. crank the bass on a vintage will make the sound muddy.

@xxStratxx69 Thanks for the info! I did NOT know that! I bought it back in '86, and the guy told me it was about 10 yrs old, so I just ASSumed! lol Either way, I'd never part with it!

Thanks again...

@boagley1 They didn't make JCM 800's in 1976.

JCM 800's were introduced in 1981.

I'd say that the thing to do is to try it out for yourself before you let a video decide for you. I have a Zoom g9 with a couple of "Marshall" presets on it and I agree it IS very hard to get a REAL Marshall tone digitally, because they do have their own unique sound, not even Blackstar could capture it and they were a couple of guys that worked for the company.

@skaterguitar4ever I agree... I have a jvm410 and the tone is superior... live tube live

[ChanielDang]

@skaterguitar4ever it's tube powered, just digital selection and stuff

[boagley1]

The concept is GREAT....And it WORKS in the 1/2 or FULL stack versions, but I can't say as I'm terribly impressed in the 1x12 combo....

I'll take my old '76 JCM 800 1x12 combo ANYDAY over this...

voi helvetti!
