It’s almost official! The Satch JVM will be released at Musikmesse 2012, Which starts in less than one week. Marshall will also be showing off their 1 watt Anniversary amps, and a few other surprises. All of which I’m sure Chris George will be doing a fine job of demonstrating just like the AFD100 and YJM100 I saw him demo at Messe last year (See the photo below).

Here are some photos from Chickenfoot on The Tonight show, 1st March 2012. You can clearly see in the photos here that one of those JVM heads doesn’t look like the other standard black JVMs. The details I can see are a smaller Marshall logo, tolex front panel (and not the modern Marshall black grille cloth), gold piping, blue tolex, a vintage handle (rather than the all black modern ones) and an extra button between the OD1 and OD2 controls.

There’s also more information about the blue tolex and extra button in a recent interview here: http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-joe-satriani-discusses-his-new-marshall-jvm-signature-series-amps-and-satchurated-his-3d-film
If only this were the real Golden Jubilee… I’d certainly be happy with a JCM800 as the Golden Jubilee (perhaps with a few extras like an additional gain stage that’s switchable with a pedal, power scaling and 50 watt switchable, and of course gold tolex)…
Just to be clear though, we have no official word from Marshall about whether there will be a Golden Jubilee (although all the hints suggest their will be), and the photo above is a production model JCM800 2203X reissue, with a custom shop option of an image printed on the grilles of both cabs and the head, specially for Marshall’s 50th anniversary year.

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/
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 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.

The Marshall DSL1 50th Anniversary is a Limited Edition 1w valve amp based on Marshall’s JCM2000 Dual Super Lead amplifier. The 1990s bought with them new technology and new technology meant amps could be more flexibile than ever. You didn’t have to settle for a single tone anymore, you could have variety! The DSL1 is a dual channel tube amp that (like its forefather) can be controlled from an included footswitch.
The DSL1 offers up an impressive amount of gain and the tone can be shaped by the separate volume and gain for each channel and an overall 3 band EQ. And that’s not all! Further sculpt your tone with ‘Shift’ and ‘Deep’ switches that allow the mid/bass voice to be altered.
This combo version has an 8″ Celestion Speaker

The Marshall JCM1 50th Anniversary is a Limited Edition 1w valve amp based on Marshall’s sought after JCM800, considered by many guitarists to be the best amp ever made! The JCM800 was made to rock. Hard. And so is the JCM1! With 2 x ECC83 preamp valves and 1 x ECC82 power valve you can already tell the famous Marshall tone is going to be there, then factor in the Master Volume (They finally got there!), gain boast and the JCM1′s 0.1w all of which allow more and more gain at lower and lower volumes, you end up with a amp that gets the filthy saturated tones of the 80s at a volume that won’t cause the plaster in your walls to crumble.
The JCM features controls for Pre-amp volume (gain), Master volume, Bass, Middle and Treble, allowing you to dial in the exact tone you’re after.
This combo version features a 10″ Celestion speaker

The Marshall JMP1 50th Anniversary is a Limited Edition 1w valve amp based on Marshall’s JMP series amps and includes just Volume, Bass and Treble (still no master volume in sight!)
There is a gain boost switch on back of the amp and a 1w/0.1w switch means you can get ear splitting gain at a volume that won’t disturb the neighbours!
This combo version features a 10″ Celestion Speaker and alternative speaker outputs
