Black Snakeskin Design
50 watts of power from two EL34 tubes
The JVM205C Combo Black Snakeskin is built in classic all-tube design and relies on a preamp with four ECC83 tubes and an additional ECC83 phase splitter to provide more than sufficient gain reserves for the hotter high-gain sounds of the OD channels. In the power amp, two EL34 pentodes provide a power reserve of up to 50 watts for rehearsals and gigs.
Two speakers designed by British manufacturer Celestion are used to output the sonically powerful JVM sound. Both the Celestion Heritage G12H and the Celestion VintageSpeaker feature a 12-inch cone for powerful low-frequency resolution and blend their tonal character to produce a full-bodied sound that is always clear and defined on rehearsal and on stage. Recording enthusiasts in particular will enjoy miking the MARSHALL JVM205C Combo Black Snakeskins for its wide variety of sweet spots.
2 channels with 3 gain modes each
The all-tube combo's tremendous flexibility comes from its two independent channels, each offering three switchable gain modes per channel. From clear and transparent sounds in the clean channel to the juicy crunch of blues and rock to the steaming high gain sound for metalheads, this combo behemoth is up for absolutely any fun. For additional tuning of the sound, an independent 3-band equalizer is available for each individual channel, which makes the range of potential sounds seem almost infinite.
Extensive connectivity for effects, recording and MIDI
The JCM205C's extensive connection options for rehearsal room, studio and stage prove that it can be used in absolutely any application. The rear panel not only provides connections for speaker cabinets with an impedance of 4, 8 or 16 ohms, but also two usable effects loops. These allow effect pedals to be looped in between the preamp and the power amp, making delay and modulation effects particularly effective. furthermore, all of the JVM205C's switches can be controlled via MIDI, while the emulated line Out in XLR format also allows silent recording.
