I have a few Marshall amps In my collection, Valvestate 40w , MG100DFX, 9000 rack system. This Head ROCKS, 2 channels, 3 cool mode's each channel, killer master volumes , nice programmable foot switch,
sound's great at lower volumes, it's nice to have a tube amp I don't have to run full blast and I don't have to run a super overdrive pedal for my leads. Great all around head for all types of music

Best Guitar stack I have ever owned....The tubes soak at a lower volume level, and the sound is amazing !!

I bought a restock at a huge discount, It has a small dent in the front lower corner, I dont care, The amp sounds fanfriggintastick. Definately the best tone I have yet to experience. Very versitile, the cleans are clear and sparkly even with emgs, the gains are ridiculious, (im a pantera freak) and this thing will do that and waay more deathy tones. played it through my peavey valveking cab for awhile and it was awesome, I now own a 1960b cab and I honostly believe I am done shopping!

The most versatile head ive owned.
Great amp. Very versatile. However, it had a tube failure after about 3 mos time. I sent it down to Houston, TX to a guy`called the tone doctor for re-tube and a few mods..Its now the best all around head I have owned so far. Def check out his work. His website is www.thetonedoctor.com

This is the best bang for the buck!I've been playing almost 20 yrs now, been through alot of different amps including the jcm800.The clean ch is just right.lots of dist w/ 6 diff settings between the channels. Listen up if you play w/ heavy dist w/ alot of punch or classic rock whatever this amp is the one! I do have a rack that I use w/ it & ground control pro all hooked up using midi.another thing, you can play at low vol & still sounds great!

It's a Marshall...Sounds awesome, lots and lots of gain. Just like any other Marshall, plug your guitar in and turn it up. The effects loop does take a little tinkering with to get it just right. I like the fact that you have two loops to choose from and the midi function is very easy to use. I changed preamp tubes to JJ ecc81's to calm the amp down and replaced the el34's with JJ E34L's. Gave it a little more punch when you turn up the master volume. I spent over 2 hours in a local music store messing around with a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectum Fryer and never could find the tone i was looking for. I plugged into the JVM, didnt turn a single knob, and loved it.....

Wow. For the last couple of years, I've tried a number of amps (many of the usual suspects), looking for the perfect tone. Well, six months ago, when I first played the JVM 210H, that all changed. This amp is incredible. With six gain stages across two channels, I can dial in any sound I like. The clean channel has got a nice sparkly tone with a very very subtle amount of grit, which I love. Then I can kick it up to the next gain stage and get the perfect lite crunchy tone. It also accepts Overdrive pedals very well if I want to dial it up another notch w/o changing the voicing on the amp. And the distortion channel - oh man. Absolutely incredible. Talk about punchy, in your face, hard rock tones. Everything from 80s rock all the way up to the heaviest metal you could ever want. I've gotten so many compliments on my tone since making this switch, I can't even begin to tell you. I don't ever want to play another amp. This one has it all. It's like using an all-tube, genuine Marshall, modeler (since you can dial in so many sounds), only this is the real deal - nothing fake about this. And I did use this along side another guitarist that uses a popular amp modeling device... it was like night and day; the difference between a real amp and a toy. And, best of all, the two master volumes makes lead boosting easy as can be. Get one now. You won't be sorry!

I have had numerous amps/combos in my 38 year playing career. This may be the end of the road. It is that versatile and that good.Lower quality rating is due to first Amp arriving DOA.

I got this yesterday with a 1960 Lead cab and it sounds amazing. Words failed in the guitar store when we cranked it up. It has an amazing huge, raw distorted sound with punch and the built-in reverb is great. If you've got the money, buy it.

I bought this head a while back with the intention of using it in combination with a more drop-tune oriented midi tube preamp, but I have to say this amp is awesome just raw (no pedals/eq etc.) The reverb is awesome, you can turn it all the way up for spooky verb and it doesn't sound cheap or springy, more like a nice plate verb with smooth high end. The clean channel is weird at first because it doesnt use a channel vol. its gain knob is the vol. knob so it stays clean most of the way up and you tune the mas.vol to taste. I'll still say Fender combo cleans through 12's are best but this has so much soul in its cleans, waaay better than Jcm2000. Not as much open bass freq. as I'd like but its highs make up for that all day. They're not boogie recto cleans, but they have so much more vintage vibe than boogies it makes up for the lack of low end. You can easily get Ac/dc rock sounds, but for 80's metal I would turn the gain down and get a tube screamer, though you can get a pretty decent Def Leopard tone you cant get Motley tone stock...the gain is there but the dynamics are missing until you use an ovrdrv pedal. The new high gain channel is my fav. it has a different feel than JCM2000 and has tons of gain. It sounds like they added a little fizzy buzz like mesa boogies but it has the marshall mid range you'd expect, so you can turn your highs down a little to stop the fizz and not sacrifice dynamics. I've only seen plexi's live and never played one, I'd say this gets about 90% of the actual plexi tone definitely not exact but close, it's missing that old vintage warmth with the squish you get when digging into the strings, but plexis also cant do bright modern high gain so thats the trade off. The thing I like best is that the eq does a lot more on these amps than previous marshalls, and with the midi switching you can use just the power section if you like with any preamp you choose....awesome players amp that thought of pretty much everything aside from efx. I would have liked to see a noisegate for the red channel because it is noisy, but thats my only complaint. I bought an ISP decimator... problem solved...tone...uncompromised.
