The real world JVM must kick complete ass if the FAS one is off and still sounds as good as it does

The FAS one sounds balls. There. I said it.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Must be the JT Industries IR doing the heavy lifting

 

[Rock Chalk]

All I have to say is, if you have a III or a 9, and you’re into dual amps, try the FAS Stealth Blue with the Euro Blue……holy sh*t does this ever sound good….with the Stealth using the 2x12 Stealth Dyna and the Bogner using the TV Dyna ……..

I'm an ass man, if that helps.

Ass brothers reunite!

sounds like a bag of grilled cocks powered by thermionic vulture guts from 1882.

I honestly don't understand the defensiveness; of which there has been quite a bit.

To even vaguely get the JVM into the ball-park of a real JVM, you have to dial in the Axe3 like an absolute fucking nutjob. It is unintuitive and does not match the average person's experience with a JVM; or any amp in general really.

You've only got to look at the screenshots posted by @MirrorProfiles - anyone with even a passing real world experience with a JVM would know that there is something off with the models.

We all criticise the Fender TMP, and we'll get as anal about impedance curves as you ever could. We'll all laugh at how the Kemper sounds like a bag of grilled cocks powered by thermionic vulture guts from 1882. We all rag on Neural and their shit marketing videos.

But a few people dare to have the temerity to suggest that a couple of models on the Axe3 don't align with real world experiences with the real amp??

THE HORRRORRRRRRRRR!!! THE PURE FUCKING HORRRRRORRRR OFFF ITT AALLLL!!! THIS IS WORSE THAN AMITYVILLE!!! OMFG!!!!!

Marshall JVM410HJS - real amp versus Axe3

As well as feeling like the HJS model was dark sounding, I’ve always felt the same about the regular JVM. It’s typically an amp I think of as quite bright and almost twangy, and to get those kind of tones always took some work. The recent Bogren plugin immediately reminded me of the JVM tones...

Does @santiall have an Axe-FX? Why don’t we ask him how the JVM model fairs?

Yeah I remember that thread. IIRC some changes were made?? But the JVM is still quite far away from the real thing.

 

[Stone]

Also if I may, if one likes the FAS JVM then I'd imagine its all good

The Fractal HJS is confusingly not the production model (but a private prototype of Joe Satriani’s), and is darker and a bit different to the others that everyone else has.

Cliff is a total dude and looking at the model again this week.

Hopefully soon you like it even more

suckage

Don't know I've never tried the JVM, as the occasion has not risen, yet
I just said if one likes the FAS JVM then if said person likes the FAS then it's all good

Cliff's post I linked to was from this afternoon (in EDT).

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Holy shit, remind me to never mention the JVM models again.

DGAF. Sounding good over here

 

[Orvillain]

DGAF

And that's fine. No one is expecting you to. But some of us do. So stop gatekeeping. Bitches.

Yeah I realised after posting.

Who did that?

 

[KingsXJJ]

You don't understand.

No you don’t. Let’s do that more… like four year lads.

 

[KingsXJJ]

Why are you being such a Karen about it?

I’m not. You’re just being daft. If it doesn’t align with your thoughts and wishes it must be wrong. Your argument that classic amps can’t and shouldn’t be improved is simply stupid. Anyone with basic knowledge knows that’s utter horseshit.
