Description

Marshall JMD-1 JMD100 100 watt el34 valve hybrid head with Blackstar midi pedal.

Read the glowing reviews online and see the demos on YouTube. This has a digital preamp designed by specialists Softube in collaboration with Marshall. You have 16 preamp voicings based on classic Marshall designs and a range of modulations, delays and reverbs.
Also has an FX loop.
The beauty of this amp is that all these settings can be stored as presets that can be recalled by midi. So with the included midi foot switch, you effectively have a 128 channel amp! A cover version player's dream.

This sophisticated preamp section is then served up through the classic Marshall 4x el34 100 watt valve power stage - enough volume and authority for any performance. (Plus ecc83/ 12ax7 valve Phase inverter )

It is quite happy at domestic volumes too as it has a very effective master volume control. It is also well regarded for the speaker emulation on the balanced xlr line out; you can run the preamp tones to your stage/recording setup without the power section engaged if you want.

Both the amp and the footswitch are in excellent condition. I checked and set the bias on the el34s recently.

Collection only, it's a valve amp and it weighs 20kg due to the substantial transformers on it.
