JVM410H : Best value and versatility for the money

Owning it for the last 2 years, this will be long but hoping, helpfull.

- Channel 1: Solid clean channel for bluesy or fx heavy tones, with potential to go full AC/DC

- Channel 2: There is a low mid frequency you can not get rid off, it sounds very compressed and lucks agreesion in the upper mids. Good with strats though

- Channel 3: Very good for moded JCM 800 tones. Insane amounts of gain and great of ammount of mids to cut through.

- Channel 4: Hidden jem. It's darker than channel 3 (mids are shifted lower) but with great definition. Good for leads and super plexi like tones in the green and orange mode, that channel 2 can never get.

A few tips:

- It has insane amounts of gain and compression, so there is no point putting the gain pot past 10 o clock on OD 1 & 2. As you increase the gain, the sound becomes dark and muddy, especially in low volumes.

- The master volume is the best out of any amp i have ever played,. It is smooth and very linear. Its tone comes from the preamp so you can have great sound in bedroom levels very easily.

- The footswitch is amazing, super intuitive and is the key why i love this amp. You can make it work any way you want it and it is very easy to programm

Final word: It's not going to replace a JCM 800, a Plexi or a 5150, but if you need something that can cover a lot of ground without having to own multiple heads, this is for you!
