Mark V vs JVM410H

[thunder100]

As long(er) time owner of Mark v and newbie on JVM I wanted to share experience a bit

On the beginn of my tonal journey I was a Fender guy then and still in love with Mark V

I own the JVM410H (with V30) now a 3 weeks, and I have an AXE FX 2 too which can do Marshall's VERY WELL

I was I no need for annther AMP, but as I recently play a lot of Blues which are in the Marshall heart or Marshall ballpark(like the late Gary Moore) I thought lets go for the real thing

And I can say all my 3 main amps (+several others)compliment well together

410 good side

Its a Mashall and so far i think all what is Marshall tone is in there
the footswitch is a ringer and the way it switches the channel gain (green-yellow-red) is great too

410 down side

Big/bulky/heavy(and a Mark V is not light)
Reverb is soso
Clean channel green needs a bit more-->may go to that Fender mod
Red channel (highest gain) is noisy-Probably the JS with 4 noise gates instead of the reverb would have been the better choice

My 2 cents

You should consider getting the JVM-JS over the JVM410H... 8)

Yes and no-->Noise gate instead of that medium reverb will be a plus,but then you lose OD2 as OD1 and OD2 are very similar on the JS

But you never can get it all

hey thunder, thanks for the quick review.

i guess i was doing the other way around.
see, i bought a mark v a couple of days ago (its should be here today! :shock: ) after having a JVM410H (and a YJM).
i am very curious how it will stand against my marshalls.
i was dreaming on buying the mark v for a long time (maybe its the petrucchi thing.. ) and i finally got to it.


BTW - i was watching the forum for a couple of days,,, its seams that it is very quiet in here :roll: ...
what the deal?

True, but with the mid shift button engaged, pretty close to the stock OD2 channel IMO...

My CH 1 setting is 100% Petrucchi-->GREAT-->Again most is (not) in (my) the fingers
CH 2 I am in Mark I (Abraxas-Santana)
CH 3 is a love and hate relationship between Mark II C+ and Mark IV depends on the day

Tonal questions,if you have,among others ,easierst to screamingdaisy

Now the JVM in OD1 Red and OD2 Orange can sound a bit Markish,but with an odd setting-so I again it reconfirms it will never go

Its christmas and was a bit more silent since October or so

True, but with the mid shift button engaged, pretty close to the stock OD2 channel IMO...

I am looking now in the soundgate mod,which seems pretty easy to do(JVM forum)

Why not just run a gate pedal up front instead? Cheaper and less time consuming in the end... 8)

 

[thunder100]

Yes thats the other alternative

ISP Decimator G String-->219 $

But as I want to do the clean channel Blackface mod as well.I can do the noisegate too

Still no hurry though

i own both of those amps and they both are great and quite capable of meeting the majority of my tonal needs.
