Ain't that a kick in the balls, Bubba....I wish I could pick through the gear I had once upon a time, & get back what I'd want now....This is what I had.

Well I sold it in about 2001 and never much liked it! I might have got on with it better had I known about the input-jumping trick! I remember the twin volume controls now. I would've been able to dial in a much, much better tone. The bright was much too bright and the normal was pretty dull. Those will have been a circuit board amp, yes?Yup, those are awesome. It's a Super Lead in JCM 800 clothes. Same circuit as the Plexi/JMP non-master vol Marshalls.
My very first Marshall I bought (or, rather, my dad bought) in 1979, was an 18w head. If I could have that amp back now, I would. We paid £70 at the time, and that included a cab! Nobody wanted them then. They all wanted the new S/S amps that were the coming thing. I once turned it right up and the sound was immense. I traded it in, as you do, for a more flexible amp that suited what I was doing at the time. It was the 2x12 Peavey ripoff of the Roland Jazz chorus. The Peavey was a good amp, but how much would an original hand-wired head like that stand me now? I dread to think.Ain't that a kick in the balls, Bubba....I wish I could pick through the gear I had once upon a time, & get back what I'd want now....
Yeah man, the white amp I had, I basically traded it for a 3-channel, solid-state Randall RG100......But, at that time it was suited to fit what I needed, but still...Between that, & the rest of the stuff I've gotten rid of over the years due to various reasons at the time(s), I really regret that shit now, but, back then, I had no clue about gear like I do now, so...My very first Marshall I bought (or, rather, my dad bought) in 1979, was an 18w head.

The 1959 circuit is killer. If you didn't like it it's your own damn fault.
Yeah man, I get it. I was kinda talked into getting the Randall amp way back then, & honestly, it did fit better with the music we were playing. I had clean, crunch, & a lead channel, so once I had my levels set, I pretty much just hit the footswitch when I needed, & that was it. Still, there are some things I'd love to have back now, but, that's life....You can't hang on to everything, I suppose. I traded my Peavey for the 1959 plus cash and really disliked it. I was pressured into it by my band mates. I really like my TSL though, but I'm sure the JVM will do the live job better.
Keep us posted on the amp dude, I'm curious to hear what you think about it if/when it happens....
Cool man, I know Greg likes his (he says it's his least-liked amp, but fuck, look at the other amps he's comparing it to...), & about everybody I've talked with about it seem to like it, a lot. I'm sure it'll be great for gigs man, 4 channels, 4 modes per channel is basically a 12 channel amp. If you get the footswitch with it, you can save your presets & just recall 'em by stepping on a button. To me, if I were a gigging guy, that would be truly awesome to be able to do that...I certainly will, miner. Unless the thing is a complete and utter dog, it's mine. As I mentioned earlier, the amp is priced so under book, I could do a total tube change and still be well within tolerance. I'm getting it on Tuesday night. The chap is giving up playing live, and he just wants cashback. He's not trying to realise maximum value so he can get something else that takes his fancy. He's not taking trades. 99% of people trading on UK pages want to swap. Cash seems to be a rare commodity. I may even get it for £450.

Wow, that's a hell of a deal Bubba, I thought you were still giving about $1000 for it....That's about half what a used one goes for here. I actually looked at GC online, & the cheapest used JVM410 I saw was about $1100....Again, hell of a deal, congrats man!!!!!!I'm now the proud owner of a Marshall JVM 410H. As predicted, I got it for £450. ($643 US.)

Post up some pics & clips when you get time...
Awesome, congrats!
Just a note, OD2 doesn't have more gain than OD1. It's just a different voicing. They're basically the same, but OD2 has the mids shifted a little lower, more modern sound.
Weird - that's not how it seemed when I was trying it out. Still, I only spent a cursory 20 minutes with it, inbetween shooting the shit with the guy about bands and recording (and VW Transporter vans,as it happens, lol )
I discovered that. I would say that the Clean Red mode is "thinned" tonewise compared to a similarly-gained Crunch channel setting. It gave my bridge humbucker almost a tele bridge sound, which I liked immensely.For example, Clean Red has way more gain than Crunch Green.
