By many accounts, the Satriani version (which adds a choke, swaps out the digital reverb in favor of noise gates, and has a number of other revoicing mods—many of which were already popular in the JVM modding community) is quite a bit better, though I haven’t tried one myself.
In spite of @capo4th’s experience, they generally seem reliable, at least by modern Marshall standards.
On a side note, Santiago Alvarez (designer of the JVMs and many other modern Marshalls) left the company some months back.
The two-channel JVMs are even more frustrating in this respect. They basically omit the clean channel and OD1, and replace the Green mode on the Crunch channel with a different clean mode than the ones on the JVM410. This is even more frustrating, as Crunch Green on the JVM410 is one of the best modes in the JVM line, and I think OD1 fits better with the other modes than OD2 (in addition to sounding more to my taste).
1) I LOVED the big array of different gain tones in this amp. The truth is that I spent most of my time on channel 2, lol, but I could do it all if and when I needed to.
2) A bit costly to overhall and re-valve. But... goes with the territory of having a load of valves.
3) Super reliable.

I've moved on from needing my JVM. Different band; different material, I only need a 2 channel amp SO at some point I'm selling my JVM 410h. It is having a pre-sale service right now so watch the classifieds or PM if interested to get in early.

Ended up using pedals into the clean channel as all the gain channels were mushy murk.
There's a big difference. I'm not sure it's going to give you the same feel as an old JMP, but the JS version has less gain and a more open, punchy response.

I still find it difficult to believe anyone sounds decent through a TSL60 of any description either!
