Overall: Let's be honest – there's nothing neighbor friendly about this amp. It was fairly low-volume in the store with a 1x12 V30 cab but, as soon as I got it home, I plugged it into my 4x12 loaded with greenbacks and... WOW. I would think it's loud enough to gig with. Even with the .1w feature engaged, it's certainly loud enough to wake people up in the next apartment. I'm going to pair it with a 1x12 and a 2x12 next to see how those cabs react. The JTM1h breaks up perfectly when cranked. It's got that JTM45 sort of sound and feel to it, just at a user friendly volume. With humbuckers, it goes into a good overdrive sound but when you roll the volume back to 7 or 8 and it gets nice and clean. If you need a really solid overdrive sound, a Tubescreamer works perfectly and also helps focus the bottom end. The amp is really sensitive to what's coming out of your pickups. I've played it with 4 Les Pauls, a Strat, a Telly, ES-335, Flying V, L5 and a White Falcon. All the Gibsons, except the L5, all pretty much do what a humbucker loaded guitar will do through a JTM. You get really good break up when it's cranked. The lows can be a little muddy depending on the character of the guitar. Single notes sing and sustain beautifully. It's just got a really warm, beautiful sound. The Strat, Telly and White Falcon had a harder time pushing it to break up and I had to dig in a little with each note or chord. The clean sounds it gives you are great. Much better than those in the TSL100 I traded to get it. It sounds like a class-A amp, but not overtly so. More than anything, it just sounds like a Marshall. As far as controls, there's really only one setting on this amp: cranked. Put the tone and loudness on 10 and control everything else from your guitar and/or playing. I gave it 5 stars on features because it's perfectly simple – they didn't over-do it. The other thing of note is that it's super lightweight. It probably only weighs a couple of pounds so it's great for taking with you. As far as looks are concerned, Marshall did a top notch job. There are no blemishes or rough spots in construction. The plexi face is great and I love the simplicity of the controls. The JTM1 sounds and feels about as close to a mid-60s plexi as you're gonna get in a practice amp. It's not cheap, that's for sure. But you're getting a great amp that is a hand built limited run amp. I'd definitely recommend it; now good luck finding one.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
