Every now and then I really regret selling my JMP-1 rig...the JMV seems like an even better basis for a really versatile and great Marshall rig.
Much as I love my current setup and amp, I would really really love to have a JMV as well. I've tried it a few times and I could play the crunch channel ad nauseam...but I have decided I will NOT trade my ultra-reliable p-t-p amp setup for a JMV; great an amp as it might be I want to keep one superb simple amp I can leave for my kids some day...I dunno how will such a complex beast as JMV stand the test of time.
Still, I am quite sure some day, perhaps when more JMV's are getting into the used market, I will have one.
