Well it looks like someone is either guessing, or do they know some inside info?
The rumour is that there may be a September 2012 release of the Marshall Golden Jubilee 100 watter (although as yet we have no idea what that amp will be). Realistically anyone could have a guess that at some point near the end of this year Marshall will release their GOlden Jubilee amp…
Anywy, the hint comes from the Marshall Forum, and the poster actually links to a video where a Marshall demonstrator also suggests (as Chris George has hinted at in the past) that the 1 watt amps are just the start of other things to come in this 50th year of LOUD!
As previously mentioned, the ‘word on the street’ is that Marshall will release a standard production model of the Satriani JVM signature head, and also a limited edition model in blue.
The rumour at the moment is that the standard production model will be around £1400, but final pricing details have yet to be announced. The pricing for the limited edition model are to follow… So remember to subscribe to this blog, or bookmark and keep checking back to the Satriani Signature Marshall category on this blog here: http://rowbinet.co.uk/category/news/amp-news/marshall-amplification/joe-satriani-signature-jvm410js/
Here’s Slash’s own custom Marshall AFD5, 5 watt combo. I wonder if it will ever get produced into a production model… According to this video, it sounds like it will some time in 2012:
Well Winter NAMM 2012 is over, and we still have very little information about the Marshall Satriani Signature amp.
Chris George from Marshall hinted that it would be released in a few months on Twitter and also in the 2nd video below he mentions that more gear will be released at Musicmesse in March. Satch himself (When interviewed by The Tone King) only commented on the existence of a prototype and a few of the changes from the stock JVM410H, with no specific info about the release date. Check the videos further down this blog post.
Perhaps we will see the Satch amp released at Musikmesse at the end of March then, and I also assume some more gear will be released at Summer NAMM in July
After all the speculation and even confirmation from Joe Satriani himself that hi signature Marshall would be released at Winter NAMM 2012, it seems we are to be disappointed.
Chris George, Marshall’s official demonstrator said the following on Twitter in the last 6 hours:
“I’m getting shit loads of questions so… the Satriani JVM signature isn’t being launched at NAMM, you’ll have to wait a few more months…”
Great work guys, looks like Marshall’s 50th year of loud is being started with some 1 watt amps… Great as they look and sound, I am still left wanting a 100 watter. Sure there will be some later in the year, but why not start the year with a bang too and release the Satch Sig too?
UPDATE 23rd Jan 2012: It seems that despite this information, Marshall did not release the Satch Sig amp at Winter NAMM 2012.. Apparently it will be out in a few months. Perhaps we should get a lucky Chicken Foot, to help speed things along.?
Satch confirms that his new signature amp WILL definately be released at NAMM. Check the video below, and watch from around 1 minute 30 seconds for the info on the Signature Amp.
No more needs to be said. Prices actually differ for the different models… I presume as some likely have more complex circuits to them (like the dual channel DSL1 and JVM1) compared to the more simple JTM1. Prices range from £479 for the JTM1H to £649 for the DSL1C and JVM1C

The word ‘on the street’ is to keep an eye out for the release of the Joe Satriani Signature Marshall JVM410JS tomorrow (20th Jan) or the day after (21st Jan).
Update 23rd Jan 2012: Obviously ‘the street’ isn’t to be trusted! It’s now due for release in a few months.
The Marshall JVM1 50th Anniversary is a Limited Edition 1w valve head based on Marshall’s current flagship model the JVM. It features all of the mod cons like dual footswitchable channels, presence control and speaker emulated line output
The Marshall JVM are the dirtiest Marshall amplifiers to date and likewise the JVM1 is the dirtiest of the 50th Anniversary 1w amps. 2 x ECC83 preamp valves and 1 x ECC82 power valve provide Marshall’s classic tone while the amp’s own voicing combined with Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence controls dishes up the most modern Marshall tone yet
The head version features 8 & 16 Ohm Speaker Outputs, and the combo also has an 8″ Celestion speaker. Read more…
