Manufacturer's Description...
To create the incredible sounds of the award winning JMD:1 we partnered up with audio software experts Softube, utilising their groundbreaking, patented Natural Harmonics Technology. The JMD:1 took two years of intense R&D to come to fruition.
JDM:1 wasn’t a general modelling amp. The only amp tones that were emulated were Marshall; 16 very different sounding, programmable preamp options taken from the Marshall historic model library. For example: Clean 3 was based on the JMP-1, Overdrive 11 was based on a Bluesbreaker pedal plugged into a JCM800, and Lead 15 was based on a Bluesbreaker pedal, plugged into a DSL100.
General modelling amps had been around for the best part of a decade and were ten-a-penny. These units were popular at the lower end of the price spectrum and hearing one actually used as a professional touring rig or on an album was rare. Enter the JDM:1 Series; professional amplifiers that combined fabulous versatility and digital FX, with stunning Marshall tone.
The JMD50 was a 50 Watt head with four channels, a single ECC83 preamp valve, two EL34s in the power stage, and studio quality digital FX, which included: chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo; a highly responsive noise gate; analogue, tape, hi-fi and multi delays, reverb, with 16 different preamp options and 128 memory locations.
