Review of the Marshall JVM215C amplifier. Where to buy it?

Gone are the days when you only had to run your finger once along all potentiometers of your Marshall to achieve the classic rock sound (as well as tinnitus). The JVM215 is a 2-channel amp with 50 Watt power, but has much more to offer.

First and foremost: the sound. Leaving the clean sound aside (clean/crunch green mode), it is simply, exquisitely Marshall and covers everything from rustic Plexi sounds to modern high gain. The other sound is an atypical American clean sound that you won’t hear often from the Brits, but sounds great.

On to colour theory: the clean/crunch channel offers 3 variations – green, orange and red (we know that from the other Marshall models, right?). On orange it is Plexi-style, while red takes you to the crunchy ’80s.

It carries on in the lead channel – there you’ll find gain in all dimensions, without mush and typically snappy. If necessary, more tame sounds can also be generated by a programmable 4-way foot switch with which all switch functions can be controlled.

In the combo version with a 12″ speaker, the amp offers a compact, non-tinny, open sound that is easy to transport. Great sound with great flexibility.
