    Default Marshall JTM 30??

    I just pulled the trigger on a mint JTM 30 2 x 10 that I got for a great price on ebay. I was looking for a small 30-watt combo with either 2 10's or 2 12's. I've seen mixed reviews on these on harmony central. Anyone know anything about these amps? They were discontinued in the late 90's from what I understand, and have good cleans and take pedals well. The negatives I've seen have been about reliability issues.

    Amps: Line 6 Spider IV 120, Vox AD50VT 212, and Peavey Transtube Bandit 112.

    Pedals: Digitech Bad Monkey.

    It's actually a really cool small combo that was made in the mid 90's I believe.
    Since I put up the first post, I've played the amp quite a bit after grabbing one off of ebay.

    Here's the specs: 30 watts, 2 x 10, Two channels. The controls are volume, gain, gain volume, bass, mid, treble, master volume and reverb.

    I'm having alot of fun with this amp..for 30 watts, it's not surprisingly loud. I can have the gain, gain volume, AND master volume all at 12:00 without driving my wife crazy. When cranked though, it screams pretty loud.

    It has a VERY nice clean sound for a Marshall, and the overdrive is sweet and not overwhelmingly brutal, which I like. Great for blues and/or classic rock.

    Thanks for the update. Sounds like a cool little amp. One day I'll get a Marshall too. I had a Marshall tube combo when I was 15 or so, stupidly enough I sold it. Back then it was all about heavy distortion for me...
