1 rack space, easy to use and program, 4-channel preamp offers instant recall of your 100 favorite settings.
Overview
The Marshall JMP01 Preamp was designed by a team of guitarists who think exactly as you do. This great sounding, 1 rack space, easy to use and program, 4-channel preamp offers instant recall of your 100 favorite settings.
The JMP-1's tube driven heart (2xECC83) drives pure tone into each of its four uniquely voiced channels - Clean 1, Clean 2, OD1 and OD2:
Clean 1 is perfect for warm full-bodied chords, fat clean lead passages and jazz tones.
Clean 2 has the glassy edge of a JTM45 for those bright, jangly tones.
OD1 - this channel's smouldering power will take you from the molten gold of a Super Lead Plexi, to searing metal and all points in-between.
OD2 - tightly focused, high gain is served up here by the truckload. Modern and aggressive, yet fluid and toneful. This channel has all the distortion and sustain you'll ever need.

Program recall is instant either from the front panel, via the optional Marshall 4-way footswitch (the MPM4E) or via MIDI. Talking of MIDI, the JMP-1 has MIDI IN, OUT and THRU connections, a mapping facility and MIDI channel selection - ensuring it will fit seamlessly into any rack set-up. In addition to the standard Left (L) and Right (R) Outputs, the JMP-1 also features L & R Speaker Emulated Outputs, the remarkable realism of which have received much critical praise. This facility not only presents your soundman or engineer with a totally controllable direct stereo signal, it also makes home or studio recording simple. With a valve MIDI preamp as easy to use and as flexible as the JMP-1, the only limit to your creativity is your own imagination.
Marshall Rack Gear
Marshall and MIDI To the many rack-addicted axemen out there, it's a marriage made in heaven! By successfully wedding the world famous Marshall tube tone with guitarist friendly MIDI technology, the JMP-1 has firmly established itself as the benchmark in professional, rack preamps. This said, the preamp is only half the story, equally as important in the tone creation chain is, of course, the power amplifier. As we all know, nothing beats the musical roar of a British valve power amp - and nothing roars with more toneful power than a Marshall.
Marshall's expertise in making full use of the 3-D tonality offered by tubes has led to their tube-driven power amps becoming revered by musicians the world over. As a result, the models in Marshall's tube power amp line will breathe new life into the sound of your rack. read less

Sound
As a dedicated pre- it has everything you need. I have been using one for about 12 years (still haven't had to replace the internal battery) and I have put it through hell so to speak. If you use it alone with a good solid power amp of your choice, it definitly cuts through the noise. I have played blues to metal, electric and acoustic. With 100 midi patches available I have never run out of room to store my sounds. Team it up with a good effects processor and your ready to create some serious music. On stage it is very easy to tweak the sound for the room acoutstics, if its a coleseum with never ending echo or a small intimate bar where you might want to tone it down a bit, no problem. I think one reason it is so easy to tweak is because the sounds that it produces are very clear therefore no bad overtones or background noise to fight. So basically as a stand alone pre- it sounds great, but with some sugar on top like (your favorite effects) it sounds awesome!!!
Features
I like the fact that you can store all your favorite sounds or group them together however you like and all you have to do is call up the number. Another nice feature is being able to run a direct line out to a monitor or a mixer without having to use a main speaker output.
Quality
Its lasted me 12 years.
Value
As with any high quality component its going to cost $$$
Manufacturer Support
Never had to.
The Wow Factor
Its a great looking "rack"
