Marshall JVM215C, Guitar comboGone are the days when Marshall users simply ran a hand across the dials and turned everything up to 10 to get that classic Rock sound (tinnitus included). The JVM215 is nominally a 50-watt amplifier with two channels, but it also has a lot more to offer than appearances suggest.@+@+Let’s start with the most important thing: The sound. Besides having a great clean sound (Clean/Crunch channel in “green” mode), this amplifier is a quintessential Marshall and as such gives you everything from vintage Plexi-style sounds through to modern high-gain tones. Another sound you can get is a rather atypical but great-sounding “American” clean sound that other British amps rarely produce.@+@+What do the colours mean? Let us explain. The Clean/Crunch channel features three variations: Green, orange, and red (which may well be familiar from other Marshall products). The orange setting takes the sound in a Plexi direction, while red produces a crunchy 1980s-style sound.@+@+The Overdrive channel continues where the Clean/Crunch channel left off and provides gain in every dimension – with Marshall’s characteristic bite and no muddiness. A tamer, more creamy sound is also easy to dial in if you prefer, however. On top of all this, a programmable four-way footswitch is included that can be used to control all of the amplifier’s switching functions.@+@+This 1x12“ combo delivers a compact, open, and surprisingly full sound in an easily transportable package – so it combines great sounds with outstanding flexibility at a fair price.@+@+, Equipped with: 1x 12"" Celestion G12 speaker, Power rating: 50 Watt, Tubes: 5 x ECC83 and 2 x EL34, 2 Channels (without semiconductor in signal path): Clean/Crunch and overdrive, 6 Basic sounds via relay switch, 2 Effects loops: Programmable parallel effects loop, Emulated line out, 2 Master volumes, Reverb, All switch functions controllable via MIDI, Dimensions: 605 x 510 x 265 mm, Weight: 26.5 kg, Programmable 4-way foot switch included
