The YJM
offers the perfect balance of vintage tone and looks alongside modern
features which makes the amplifier the perfect players' tool for "plug
in and play" recording or live performance.
Malmsteen
has been a Marshall
devotee from the get-go so this collaboration comes as no surprise to
his countless fans. "I can't say enough about my love for the sound,
feel and look of the wall of Marshall's. Since I was 10 years old, I've
insisted on having them behind me at all times," the guitarist reveals.
Based on the power and tone of the 'Holy Grail' 1959 Plexi head, the
YJM100 offers the ultimate Neo-Classical
amp with the following cutting edge features:
Footswitchable* Boost with controls for Volume and Gain on
the rear panel.
Footswitchable* Noise Gate with rear panel Threshold
control.
Footswitchable* studio quality Digital Reverb with rear
panel Level control.
Footswitchable* Series FX Loop
Half power switch which takes the output power from 100W to
50W when engaged.
Built-in, infinitely variable Attenuator control which can
take the output stage from 100% to 0.01% and anywhere in-between, while
retaining the all-important tone and feel of the all-valve power
section. This means the output power can be reduced to a staggering low
of 0.05 Watts when in 50W power mode.
Valve Failure Circuitry: meaning that if one of the output
valves develops a fault, a visual indicator on the rear of the
amplifier shows which one is working incorrectly. This "roadie Friendly
feature" will save valuable time getting the amplifier back up and
running again, should a valve failure occur.
Self-biasing circuitry to ensure proper power valve
operation each time valves are changed.
