Jvm410h vs Triaxis/Simul class 2 ninety

[skoora]

I agree with sentiments on the JVM where at first it sounds pretty good then it just doesn't quite get there after a minute. All the channels sound the same, just with variable levels of gain. It doesn't have the "breath" or dynamically alive thing a good 2203 or jmp has. If I found a 210H cheap I would get it for a fun house amp but I would never want it to be my main sound. When I sold the Triaxis, working at a dealer, it sounded better though the return of a DSL Marshall than it did with the 2:90. I've found most preamps sound better using a head for power. My quad sounds amazing using my MK V for power.
I predominantly play boogie now but grew up a total Marshall lover until they stopped making good new designs in the 90's. I would get the Triaxis but would get an EL34 based power amp and also a separate EQ. The dynamic voice control is too limiting.

Caveat...no one in an audience, except dorks like us would probably notice the deficiencies of a jvm vs a jmp/jcm in a live setting. Don't get crazy with the gain and it would probably work fine.

Good to know thanks for the advice ?

I’ve an opportunity to get a jsx on the cheap and I believe it has el34’s at stock, may be an option to pair it up with a triaxis

agree on pairing Triaxis with EL34 poweramp. I used Laney GH100 head for this.

Peavey Classic 50/50 is not bad poweramp but also nothing special. You get EL84 tone with all positives and negatives. Mesa 20/20 sound best for EL84 poweramp.

Get it. Yes it comes with EL34's. It's great at accompanying mesas

FWIW I have used just the power amp of the JSX with an ENGL preamp once, and it was good at holding down the fort, as such.

 

[skullfxr]

Just another thought... I prefer the JSX to the Marshall Satch signature as well.

I have a deal at the moment for a jsx, he wants 700€ I offered 550 and he wants 600 for it, it’s abroad so I don’t have the chance to test it live, but seems to be legit

Seems to be a good price

 

[chunktone]

I'd probably go with a 3rd option like Diezel or Framus, but I tend to like German high gainers.

I would agree, but the price is double to triple.

They are cheaper in the states. Doesn't sound like a bad deal. You can make an offer on mine if you want. But I would have to figure out how to ship it to you. I have never shipped anything to the EU.

Yes definitely much cheaper in the states , I have seen a few of them on reverb which are well below the EU

I’m in Ireland myself so our lovely government charge 23% VAT once the item arrives , and they won’t release it until it’s paid, you are also then charged excise duty as well , makes importing from USA prohibitive,

Still at 600€ incl shipping it ain’t a bad deal, they also said they have recently serviced it and will put 6L6 or EL34 depends on what the customer wants

But you can take solace in that your Guinness is the best tasting in the world

No shit! I love the extra stout. I can't drink more than a sixxer of a stout though in one sitting. But usually that is enough.

I drink Guinness extra stout at 62°F in a wine chiller. Lol.

True that I do love my few pints of Guinness ?

Ah ye I can’t usually have more than 5 or 6 myself, it’s a meal in itself ?

Liquid carbs. Lol.

I can kill a 18 pack of lager or ale though without issue. Stouts are where it's at for me though. A sixxer of them and I am full and happy.

Ye Guinness is just a lot heavier on the stomach, pure carbs ? and iron of course

Still debating on the jsx for 600, I’ve a few other amps being offered to me at the moment like the jcm 2000 dsl 50 from some of my normal contacts over here, but I think the jsx looks like it’s a better all rounder, and I found the cable that can control the switching via midi through the ground control pro and gcx audio switcher
