Introduction
The relationship between the guitarist and amplifier has been our prime concern since the earliest
Marshall’s were produced. We always aim to give that extra edge, which can help to inspire the
player, fuelling creativity and the ability to express.
Advances in technology have allowed us to modify and enhance this basic principle for the benefit of
the musician. However, we have never lost sight of that extra emotional drive that only valves are
capable of producing. The whole character of our unique sound emanates from the breathing full
bodied pure tone of the valve.
Your JMP-1 MIDI pre-amp is a carefully designed coalescence between modern MIDI technology and
classic Marshall valve circuitry. It’s many tones are all valve generated and presented in a way that is
both comfortable and familiar to guitar players.
The digital control capabilities add a new degree of flexibility to the way in which the tones can be
switched and processed. The advantages provided by this level of control are truly astounding. After
studying the manual and with a little practical exploration, you will find an unbelievable range of sounds
and will very soon wonder how you managed without MIDI. The only limit is your own imagination.

2. Headphone Socket For the connection of stereo headphones.
Headphones with an impedance of 600 Ohms will give
the best performance. Connecting headphones does not
disable the outputs of the pre-amp.
