From the first time I used this amp back in 2014 I knew immediately that it was something special and offered guitarists something that is pretty much unique - the ability to use one amp for all styles that they play. Versatility was king.

This JVM410HJS Joe Satriani amp made the alternate JVM410H sound like a poor sister - and I think that's still the case today. The 410H (as I'll call it) suffered in many ways to the Marshall amps that I was used to over the years. The internal build was different than this 'Satch' amp, there was no choke, the drive channels of that 410H amp squealed after about 9:00 on the drive knob and lots more. But sadly (in some ways) this JVM410HJS Satch amp that is reviewed here could easily be confused with that 'other' amp. Until you plug it in!

Fear not. Recently I have noticed for about the last three years or so many YouTube 'reviewers' 'discovering' the JVM410HJS Satch version amplifier. Where were these guys when the original was released? in kinder garden no doubt... but at least they are catching on to this Satriani monster amp these days. And no wonder.

Many guys will never have played a JVM410HJS or even seen one, let alone with all those features that this amp has against the regular 410H? Well I think that if you have never played this Satriani amp head then you would be in for a massive rude awakening. The JVM410HJS is most likely Marshall's secret weapon and absolutely the most versatile amp Marshall Amplification have ever made to date.

You will see in this video that I show a general overview, the chassis, the Power Transformer and Output Transformer, the main board and compare this to the 410H board, the choke, and more. 

I also offer my opinion as an owner of over 20 tube amps and a number of Marshall amps. Don't be surprised to see that this Marshall amp is NOT built like some of the rubbish out there that is often called 'boutique' amplifiers, when in reality some of those amps are rather like the emperors new clothes. But this JVM410HJS really IS different.

Play any style you want with this amp - its got the lot. Prices are climbing too. So what better time to review this amp - a unique Marshall limited edition signature amplifier at it's 10th anniversary of its release back in 2014.

Now all we want is for this to come out as a 20w Studio version - come on Marshall, you'll sell tens of thousands!

I have spent considerable time creating this video entirely at my own expense:

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RING THE BELL, AND THUMBS UP to give my channel a boost and thank you for watching - I hope the video is enjoyable for you and that you see the tings in it that other reviews NEVER show!.

                <description><![CDATA[Last night, I had one of the weirdest dreams—or maybe nightmares—I’ve ever had. Somehow, the Doge dude took over Metal Devastation Radio and fired me. I was freaking out, pissed off, and panicked, rushing to get out of the house to figure out what the hell was going on. No idea where I was going or how any of this could even happen, but, you know… dreams.
As I’m walking through the house, I pick up my phone and see the battery is almost dead. For some reason, I have it hanging around my neck on a string, like a necklace. I start heading down the hall toward the exit, but the phone keeps playing voicemails out loud, and I’m just trying to get to my car to charge it. Then, suddenly, I feel something pulling me back. I turn around—and somehow, my phone is already plugged into a charger in the last room I was in. Either I never actually walked down the hall, or I stepped into some kind of portal and skipped into another dimension where my phone was already charging.
I call for Raven to tell her what just happened, thinking this has to be something paranormal, but she just looks at me like I’m insane and keeps scrolling on her phone. Frustrated, I rip the phone off my neck, throw it, and say, “Fuck this, I’m out of here.”
I get in my car and start driving. Next thing I know, I’m on some dirt road in the mountains, and it starts pouring rain. Out of nowhere, two little kids jump into the road. I swerve to avoid hitting them, lose control, and crash. I get out, yelling at them to stay out of the street and go home, but they just vanish. Now I’m stuck walking in the rain, which keeps getting heavier. The water starts rising, and soon, I’m waist-deep. A creek next to me is flooding, and I feel the current pushing me.
I scramble up some rocks and find myself at the top of a mountain, staring at an ancient temple—like something straight out of Tomb Raider. As I explore, a pack of wolves suddenly appears and attacks me. I spot a chainsaw on the ground, grab it, and start fighting them off. I break free and suddenly find myself in a completely different place—some kind of compound or office building.
Inside, it’s a giant telemarketing office. A bunch of my coworkers and friends are there, working like it’s just another day. I get into this long conversation with one dude about CSS coding and website tech. Then my buddy Carl Webb shows up, telling me it’s a great job and that I should work there too.
But then it hits me—I’ve been gone all night. There was a storm, a flood, I lost my phone… Raven must be worried sick. I start panicking, trying to figure out how to get back home, but I have no clue where I even am. I walk out of the office holding a map, and suddenly, my old friend Joe Fox runs up and tackles me. We wrestle for a minute, and I’m like, “Dude, what the hell?” He just laughs.
Then, out of nowhere, Phil Anselmo walks up, grabs the diabetic sticker thing Joe has on his arm, peels it off, and eats it. Joe and I both just stare at him like, What. The. Fuck.
And then… I wake up.]]></description>
