The Marshall JVM205C all-tube 2 x 12" 50-watt amplifier brings you the full range of Marshall tone, from crisp clean to molten roar! The 2-channel JVM205C gives you six modes, covering two independent channels with three gain stages, each with its own footswitchable memory. It's a great feature for ultra-flexible onstage switching via the included dedicated, programmable footswitch unit. Plus, the combination of vintage and modern speakers provides great tone. Two effects loops, reverb for each channel, a speaker-emulated XLR line out, and two footswitchable master volumes also grace the JVM205C.

Marshall JVM205C 50-watt 2 x 12" Tube Amplifier Combo at a Glance:


Channel switching and more


Silence is golden


Marshall heritage


From glassy to a roar


Two twelves - no waiting


Channel switching and more





The JVM2 series amps don't simply give you footswitchable channels. You get an entire palette brimming with different degrees of distortion, tonality, and effects. The included 4-way switch has five easy-to-read LEDs, making this rig ready for stage use. It's also programmable, so you can set up different combinations of channel, mode (green, orange, or red), reverb level, effects level, and master volume easily. The parallel/series effects loops are also switchable on/off. Marshall made sure you'll get the most out of this amp even when you're at the front of the stage!





Silence is golden





When on standby, the JVM2's emulated XLR output is fully operational, allowing you to record in total silence - a godsend for those late night recording sessions!





Marshall heritage





Every JVM2 is made at the Marshall factory in the tonal heart of England. Time-tested, traditional methods of craftsmanship and construction are combined with the latest advances in modern manufacturing technology, ensuring world-class build quality and roadworthiness. Internally, the JVM2 circuitry and layout has been kept to a minimum, ensuring the integrity of the guitar tone and an incredibly low noise floor - this coupled with meticulous valve selection and high tolerance, quality components adds to the all-important reliability factor that is synonymous with the Marshall legend.





From glassy to a roar





Two completely independent channels sounds fine, but this amp gives you so much more than that! Each channel features three footswitchable modes: green, orange, and red. These modes give you different voicings and levels of overdrive ranging from pristine clean to super-saturated, harmonic-drenched, sustain-for-days distorted. Of course, the beauty of this configuration is that you can easily dial in these tones and everything in between, and access them with the touch of a footswitch.





Two twelves - no waiting





Marshall has fitted the JVM205C combo amp with one Marshall G-12 Vintage 12" and one Heritage 12" Speaker - wired in series, not parallel. Talk about tonal immediacy. These two speakers in combination are more than the sum of their parts, delivering a complex, looser feel to this JVM's response. This is a clever design technique often employed in megabuck boutique amps, and we're happy to see it on a production Marshall.
