OD1 Orange man, brings a smile every time. Leon did the amp justice, this along with Rabea's video are the best I've seen at really showing how the amps sounds in a video.

Pretty interesting. I've had some nice digital pedals and where they always failed for me was in the highs with gain, lead notes in the upper register...always sounded "harsh". I guess now I know why, and that my ears didn't fool me.

I agree...It's interesting; The JVM seems to be making a bit of a "comeback" and it should, it's an extraordinary amp in my option. I try a lot of amps and few hold my attention very long...But I still play my JVM410H daily and have actually grown to like the amp more as I became more familiar with it. One thing that I really like is that the JVM responds equally well to both active active and passive pickups, while many high gain amps seem to prefer one or the other. I don't see myself selling mine any time soon.

That shill would buy a Bugera if it got him clicks. His tone is always shit no matter what he's shilling.

I always wonder about the DSL vs JVM. I have considered picking one of them up.

Why not both?
I have a JCM410H and DSL40CR...
I think both are underrated by many. Sure they're not plexis or 800. so what?

I feel like he gets pretty shit tones no matter what he plays so for me it is a meh.. not many influencers keep my attention nowadays. At least he tours and releases music though, some of these guys just live in their basements and release content. Every comment feeding their egos.

The DSL is great for some more "traditional" Marshallesque tones and can do heavy well with a boost...But if you lean metal, definitely go with the JVM410H. Just my thoughts.Metal. Chunk and crunch.

I prefer the JVM205H, but a DSL50 gets it done just as well.

Yeah, when I think Marshall, I think boosted 800 tones. Death, pre-5150 Carcass, Obituary, Hatebreed, old school Fear Factory, etc....
I have 5150s, Rectos, etc... so I have thought if I buy another amp, it would be nice to have something different. I do have an old Valvestate. I have tried DSLs in stores and liked them, but I never run across JVMs in person. On one had, I dont need all the options, but on the other hand, it seems to be the ultimate Marshall.

Same. The ones I do watch are making videos about playing, not about gear.
I guess it's cool that they found a way to make a living playing guitar, but being an influencer seems miserable.

It is the ultimate Marshall...Unless your seeking a vintage vibe or 100% full authentic on Plexi or JCM800. That said, the JVM will get you 80% there for those tones as well. there isn't another stock Marshal that even comes close to the JVM's aggression or versatility.

That's the thing, yes it has options but I literally use only two, OD1 Orange and Clean. I don't use the Crunch channel, I don't use OD2.
OD 1 Orange for both Rhythm and Lead with a volume bump programmed in to my delays for lead and I work my volume knob on the guitar. And I'll switch to clean, heck some times I just roll off the volume on the guitar and stay on OD1 for a gritty clean.
The cool thing about it is the options. Let's say you need more gain than OD1 Orange but still want that modded Marshall tone, just use OD1 Red. Need more modern gain - go to OD2 and use the Orange and Red there. Gain for days.
I think some people see all the knobs and go into overload, I've done the same thing with amps that I've owned like the Sig X or some of the Boogies but in reality the JVM is really a simple amp with alot of options. As I always say, it's not everyone, no amp is.

Either overload, or some people seem to get mad that an amp has more options than they need. Even more so for digital gear.
I've never understood that. It's way easier to find the sounds you do want and just use those than it is to buy and sell gear until you find the exact set of limited features you need.
