  Marshall JVM Series JVM410H Tube Amp Head

  In a nutshell, the Marshall all-valve, 4-channel JVM410H 100-Watt tube head is the most versatile Marshall amplifier ever made. It also boasts more gain than any other Marshall to date-and that's really saying something!Each of its 4 channels-Clean, Crunch, OD1 & OD2 are not only completely independent of each other, they all boast 3 Modes, all 12 of which are footswitchable and feature their own unique gain structure. It makes the JVM 4-channel effectively 12 Marshalls in one!The JVM410H has studio-quality digital reverb with a level control for each channel. This is also footswitchable, as are the amp's two Master Volume controls and the Series/Parallel effects loop. Resonance and Presence are equipped with master controls.Even though the head and combo both house 28 controls and 8 LED switches on their front panels, they're incredibly simple to understand because of the extremely logical layout. Each of the 4 channels has the usual suspects when it comes to controls Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble & Gain-accounting for 20 of the 28 controls right away. Take away the 4 reverb controls and you're only left with 4 Master controls-2 Master Volumes plus Resonance & Presence.Add to this an ingenious footswitch (UK patent pending) and the fact all the amp's switching (channel/modes, Reverb, Master Volume selection, FX loop) can be done via MIDI and you're looking at an incredibly flexible amp! The 6-way footswitch boasts 7 LEDs and memory, plus it connects to the amp via a regular guitar cable.From the cleanest clean to the filthiest distortion ever found in a Marshall and all points in-between, the JVM410H all-valve amp head will give you whatever tone you need right when you need it.

  ValveTrain 427 27W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Rode Hard Tweed

  The ValveTrain 427 is an amp with rich vintage tone and an expanded set of controls that allow today's guitarist to access a tonal palette unattainable by its vintage predecessors.The 427 inherits its tonal roots from the venerable late-1950s Fender 5E3 Deluxe. Aside from the beefed-up power section loaded with a pair of 5881s and the heavy-duty transformer set, the most interesting feature of the 427 is the design of the initial gain stages. There are 2 volume controls, one for the Normal channel and one for the Bright channel. The two channels are internally isolated and jumpered, meaning that the player is able to blend the tonality of each channel into the overall mix. Because the channels are both active, the preamp tube is running in parallel operation, producing more gain than is normally found in an amp of this style.Turning either volume control down—thus eliminating that channel—returns the tone of the amp back to the single voice operation of the original. There are also two boost switches that activate a gain and low-frequency boost on each channel.By controlling volume and the boost on each channel, the blending of the two distinct voices opens up the tonal spectrum of the ValveTrain 427.
