Jtm 60

smcgov · 10-08-2008, 10:32 AM

Newbie here, just picked up a JTM 60 1 x 12 last night for $350. Really happy to finally have a real Marshall valve amp. I read some things about overheating and some other issues with JTM 60's. I played for quite a while last night and the thing didn't even get warm, the guy I bought it off of said that it had recently been serviced by an amp guru, maybe he lowered the bias when retubing. Either way sounded good and I am really happy.

Any JTM 60 comments or advice is appreciated...BTW I play mostly Gibson LP's if that matters.

Thanks.

great amp! never had a heat-problem

I like it a lot more with a les paul or PRS, than with a strat!

I really like my JTM 30 but while it does get slightly warm it has not got any problems because of it.

Actually mounted a fan in my JTM 612 as it got very hot when played hard. It plays very well with my Les Paul, Strat and Tele. Not to mention how it handles pedals and other effects very nicely!
