Designed for guitarists who want to experience the legendary Marshall tone while enjoying comprehensive modern controls, the Marshall JVM 100W is an all-tube amp head tailored for both stage and studio use. From sparkling clean to massive high-gain for rock and metal, this guitar amp head offers impressive power reserves and rare versatility, without ever betraying the British brand's sonic DNA.
Marshall tones, from clean to extreme saturation
With its
100 all-tube watts powered by 5 ECC83 tubes in the preamp and 4 EL34 tubes in the power amp, the Marshall JVM delivers a full, dynamic sound that is responsive to your playing. It harks back to the roots of the famous JCM800 and Super Lead Plexi, with that typical midrange that cuts through the mix with ease and a precise attack that's ideal for rock, hard rock, and modern metal. The clean tones remain defined and shimmering, while the crunch tones sing with beautiful harmonic richness. When pushed to its limits, the JVM becomes a true riff and solo machine, with generous sustain and dense saturation that is perfect for live situations.
Four channels, twelve sound personalities
The Marshall JVM offers
4 independent channels, each with
3 gain modes (green, orange, red), for a total of 12 voicings. The channel dedicated to clean sounds covers both crystal-clear tones and slightly pushed bluesy hues. The crunch channel offers textures ranging from vintage tones inspired by early Marshall stacks to more aggressive JCM80X-style crunch. The high-gain channels effortlessly cover modern rock, shred, and the most extreme metal registers, while maintaining precision and articulation even at high gain levels.
This architecture allows you to configure real “stages” of gain: clean rhythms, basic crunch, heavy rock leads, and ultra-saturated channels, all instantly accessible. Whether you're playing in a band, a cover band, or your own compositions, you can build a complete set without ever lacking in nuance.
Precise control and ergonomics designed for the stage
Despite the number of features offered, the JVM remains surprisingly intuitive.
Each channel has its own 3-band EQ (bass, midrange, treble), with
independent gain and volume controls to perfectly adjust the level and tone. The digital reverb section offers dedicated settings for each channel, ideal for adapting the sense of depth to each type of sound. Two switchable Master Volumes allow you to instantly switch from rhythm to solo levels without having to touch your settings.
On the front panel, the overall presence and resonance controls refine the high and low frequency response, allowing you to quickly adapt the head to the cabinet you're using, the stage volume, or your style of music. The result is an amp that is both comprehensive and straightforward to use, perfectly suited to guitarists who juggle rehearsals, gigs, and studio sessions.
Seamless integration into modern rigs
On the rear panel, the Marshall JVM features a range of connections designed to integrate seamlessly into a modern setup. The
serial and parallel effects loops allow you to insert pedals and multi-effects exactly as you wish, with a mix control on the parallel loop to precisely adjust your external delays and reverbs. The XLR output with speaker emulation allows for silent recording or direct connection to a mixing console or sound card, while maintaining a realistic and usable sound.
Extensive MIDI control (128 presets) allows you to control the JVM from an effects processor, MIDI controller, or stage management system, automatically recalling channel, master, reverb, and loop combinations with a single preset change.
Programmable footswitch and preset management
Supplied with a
6-channel programmable footswitch, the JVM can be used in classic mode (channel selection, reverb activation, Master Volume change, loop management) or in preset mode, with several user memories. This allows you to save your favorite sounds (e.g., clean with reverb, light crunch, lead with volume boost, massive high gain, etc.) and recall them instantly with your foot. This flexibility makes the Marshall JVM a formidable tool for guitarists who want to switch between different moods without compromise, whether live or in the studio.
Combining power, versatility, and ergonomics, the Marshall JVM 100W condenses all of the brand's historic know-how into a contemporary amp head capable of keeping up with the most demanding guitarists in all genres—from vintage rock to modern metal.
