If you’ve been reading all the rumours about the Satch Marshall signature amp that looks like it’s on its way soon, you may have also heard the information from Santiago Alvarez about the mods he made to the stock JVM410H, and one of them being the introduction of a choke.
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
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

Well Well! Here’s a little taster of what’s going to be released by Marshall to start their Golden Jubilee celebrations at NAMM. The pictures above show the JTM-1H, JTM-1C, JMP-1H, JMP-1C, JCM-1H, JCM-1C, DSL-1H, DSL-1C, JVM-1H and finally the JVM-1C. Obvioulsy they are respectively H and C for head and combo, and then based on a JTM, JMP, JCM800, DSL and JVM. All are 1 watt, but details have yet to be released on the exact poweramp specs. Most people are assuming they will be tube based, with something like 12AX7, or something similar (like some other popular 1 watt tube amps). The combo’s feature 10″ speakers, which means they will be good for some home jamming or recording… But unless you mic them, will likely be too quiet for any gigs.
It is said they will be released one every 10-12 weeks throughout 2012, and these versions will not be released again… Although the sensible consumer would take a guess that some slightly modified versions will be put into production in a year or two for less money… But there’s no guaranteeing that… So if you want one, you should place an order as soon as they’re officially released at NAMM (which is when you will be able to order one).
Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society need to introduction to any guitarist who keeps their eyes and ears open to modern music. From those crazy pinched harmonics, to the crushing phat guitar tone, most metal axe slingers would love to have Zakk’s sound in our arsenal. Well if you missed out on the first Marshall Zakk Wylde signature amp, the 2203ZW, then you might be able to get your hands on a 2203BLS, the new Zakk Wylde signature which may well be released in 2012. There’s very little info out about this amp yet, I just hope this is going to be a production amp eventually
There’s some hints in a recent interview Zakk did, that perhaps may hint at what this amp will be based on. Check it out here.
