No longer available at zZounds
Rock with the same tones as Joe Satriani himself. This Marshall head features four separate channels for extremely flexible performance possibilities.

Marshall Amplification is pleased to announce the JVM410H Joe Satriani Edition. This collaboration between Marshall and one of the world's most respected guitarists takes the well known front panel features of the JVM410H and overhauls the tone to a completely new level.

The Legend of Satch

Joe Satriani has long been associated with Marshall, in earlier days often citing the 30th Anniversary model, the 6100 as his amp of choice. After Satch's departure to experiment with other brands, he found his love again for Marshall as he was recording the self titled debut album from Chickenfoot in 2009. Joe initially opted for stock JVM210H units, and after discussions it was deemed appropriate to add Satriani to Marshall's Signature Series list.

A New Breed of the JVM Series

At first glance, the JVM410JS may look familiar. Taking a more detailed look (and listen) though, will make you realize just how different this amp is from its stock counterpart. So, how is the JVM410JS different from the JVM410H?
Firstly, and probably most notable is the fact that the four Reverb pots from the original JVM410 have now been replaced with noise gates -- one for each channel and each with their own threshold. Another visible change to the front panel is the addition of a "Mid Shift" button that can be used for both OD1 and OD2 channels, shifting the mid character of the sound to that of Joe's specification.

A Variety of Distortion Options

read more Tone wise, the amplifier is very different; The clean channel is based on the aforementioned 6100 when on the green mode, with the orange and red modes being hotter variations of that tone too. The crunch channel takes the original JVM410 crunch and adds some of the popular Marshall "AFD" circuit to it, and the OD channels are now both voiced identically, based on the JVM410 OD1 but with the gain scaled back slightly and a smoother transition between modes. The mid shift button determines the difference in mid character between the original JVM410 OD1 and OD2 tone, moving the mids from around 650khz (Mid Shift off) to around 500khz (Mid Shift on).

Features:

- 100 watts
- Programmable Mid-Shift: OD1 and OD2
- Four Switchable Noise Gates
- Foot Controller Included
- Four Channels (Clean, Crunch, OD1, OD2)
- MIDI implementation
- EL34 Power Tubes
- Integrated FX Loop

The rest of the JVM410JS plays out in familiar territory; the amp is still powered by EL34 valves, there are two master volumes, the supplied footswitch enables you to switch between Channels, Modes, 2 Master Volumes, FX loop and now also the noise gates and mid shift. There's also full MIDI implementation on the unit.

This is the perfect amp. I never thought I'd say it, but I have. It seems to be a great sounding amp no matter how you set it. I think I have FINALLY found "my tone"

Sound
ANY tone is what you can get with this head. I payed the original JVM410 and I must say that this is a far better amp. Not just different, better. The original had a very nice clean. The JS changed the clean channel to sound like a 6100 (JCM900). I do love this new channel but I think the standard 410H is warmer. That being said, this channel is still really great. However this is also the ONLY place that the original has anything comparable with the JS version. The new crunch channel is phenomenal. You have to hear it. Plus the entire OD channel's gain control is useable! SICK

Features
NOISE GATES: hands down better than my ISP Decimator... SWEET! 2 master volumes; 2 series FX loops (one is switchable); 5 speaker jacks; silent record line out; MIDI; programable footswitch & more. It has it all except half power but it sounds great at any volume so it really doesn't need it.

Ease of Use
Simple to use. Simple to program. You can plug & play but if you dial it in right... HOLY S#%T!

Quality
Made in England. Seems to be built like a tank. Much better build quality than the original. No loose knobs. Unfortunately the JS version still uses mostly plastic input jacks... For $2600 - c'mon read more guys, you can do better than that!

Value
Compared to say, a Bogner 101b, it is reasonable. But it is still over $2500...

The Wow Factor
WOW X 1000 = JVM 410HJS! BEST AMP UNDER $3000 - NO DOUBT!
