But also - there aren't a lot of amps out there quite like the JVM. The JVM truly does have so many amazing tones in it. It's unique in that it offers 3 modes per channel, so you get 12 modes essentially. And they're all good. Not a duff one amongst them.
The original OD channels have tons of gain. So dial them in with your ears, not your eyes.
There are plenty of 3 to 4 channel amps though. Diezel VH4 is the obvious one to compare to the JVM as well, given the modded-Marshall heritage.
I recently got a JVM410HJS. Originally I was going to get a Mesa Boogie Badlander, but money was tight, so I had to go 2nd-hand with the JVM. Best choice I've made recently!
I'm having so much fun with my DSL that I kind of want one although I really don't need one at all!
I'd probably need something like a Waza box to use it at home though I guess.
A lot more expensive than just buying a JVM....but even after buying the Runt which ticks all the boxes, I'm still looking at JVM's
I modded it to OD1 voicing and also changed a couple of plate resistors for less compression, I'm pretty happy with it now.
I can certainly understand someone who likes that bolder/tighter metal sound not liking them though, or not as much as the 410.

The main attraction for me with the JVM though is that glorious lead sound.
