Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Marshall JVM210C is a 50-watt all-valve two-channel combo with a 12-inch speaker from the JVM series. Each of its two channels offers three footswitchable modes, delivering everything from clean and crunch to high gain through EL34 power, with digital reverb and an effects loop. It is a versatile gigging combo aimed at players wanting a full range of Marshall tones in one box.

The Marshall DSL20HR is a 20-watt all-valve two-channel head from the Dual Super Lead series, pairing EL34 power with classic-gain and ultra-gain channels and onboard reverb. A power-reduction switch drops it to 10 watts for lower-volume use, and an emulated output aids recording. It is a popular, affordable gigging head delivering Marshall crunch to high gain at club-friendly wattage.
