JVM210C 2x12" 100-watt 2-channel Tube Combo Amp Review

Marshall Magic

This is a very cool and cost effective alternative to the 410. Unless you know and understand exactly why you need 4 channels ... I submitt to you that two are sufficient. I"m certainly still in discovery w this 2 channel wonder. Plus it"s a 100W head man ... add cabinets if you just feel the need. I"d play this in any venue and miced through a sound system there"s really no need… read more for any thing else unless you just feel naked without it. I understand, but most multi stacks on stage these days are furniture for show only. Amps like this are the reason why. The British Invasion continues

The sound on this amp is crazy rich! I've bounced from solid state and tube amps, and I've never been able to get a good sound from the solid state amps. I was using a Peavy Renown for years. It's a beast, but I was never happy with the sound. So, switching to this amp...with the first strum out of the box I was blown away by how good the sound is! There is some feedback, and some… read more noise at idle to work through. And, some of my effects are probably going to get switch out for brands that work better with this amp, e.g., the boss fuzz sounds like crap on this amp to me. But, those are expected things to work through. The sound is worth working through these kinks...Anyone interested in a Peavy Renown, Boss EQ, or Boss Distortion? No longer needed because of the awesome Marshall tube sound!

Good amo!

I bought my amp used when it was 5 years old, put a fresh set of tubes in and rocked the h*** out of it for another 3 years before I started leaning towards a different set up. Regardless, the amp served me well over the years and did great in every situation from recording, small venues, to wide outdoor gigs. The channel selections give you every level of gain/tone that you could… read more want (and with me being in an 80's cover band, I used EVERY channel quite often).This isn't saying the amp doesn't come with its downfalls.-Low heating rated equipment such as resistors and capacitors -Baising ports located inside the head unit make it a burden to make changes-The amp gets pretty hot after a couple hours of use-Noise, lots of it. Lots of gain, lots of noise.With that being said, the amp did a good job of getting me through my shows and I was able to dial in some pretty powerful tones that you'd expect from Marshall.
