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.

your electricity supply. If you have any doubt, please get
advice from a qualified person. Your Marshall dealer will
help in this respect.
(A) The channel selection i.e. OD1, OD2, Clean 1, Clean 2 & Bass Shift
(B) The individual volume, gain, tone and effects levels that you have selected.
The first step is to select a patch by pressing the patch key (5) using the rotary data control (7) to reach
the desired patch number. The next stage is to “build” your required sound, firstly by selecting the
channel OD1, OD2, Clean 1 or Clean 2 with or without bass shift, then by selecting the volume, gain,
tone and effects levels. These controls work in exactly the same way as a normal Marshall amplifier,
where increasing the gain brings in more overdrive and the tone selections interact to “shape” the
sound.
The JMP-1’s controls are there to be used to the full and by experimenting with all the extremes you will
quickly understand it’s capabilities and build your own library of sounds.

Sound Selections
There is a definite identifiable character to the “Marshall Sound” throughout the years. largely derived
from the unique qualities of valve power. Our expertise in harnessing valve drive has been fully
exploited in the JMP-1 to recreate the various classic sounds and to generate new tones that will
become the classics of the future. Bearing in mind the variations in guitar types and styles, plus the
flexibility of the control parameters, the following guide gives an indication of each channel's basic
sound type.
Clean 1
This is a warm full bodied clean tone, ideal for rich chords, which can be softened for jazz tones or, by
adding gain, will suit clean lead lines with a hint of vintage distortion.
Clean 2
In complete contrast to Clean 1, Clean 2 is bright and glassy with a clear jangling tone. In addition it
contains the unique lively “edge” found only in the early JTM 45 and Super Lead Amps operating at
volumes just below distortion.
OD1
Features the purity of distortion from the golden age of the plexi glass Super Leads. As the gain is
increased you pass through degrees of distortion into a rich higher gain mode, with just the right
nuances for the modern blues rock player. Vintage crunch, modern metal and fat blues lead sounds are
all readily available.
OD2
Tightly focused stunning high gain is what you will find in OD2. Modern and aggressive, smooth and
fluid, the gain levels and singing tone of this channel will give you infinite sustain whilst retaining a pure
toneful quality.
Bass Shift
The Bass Shift option can be switched in or out of any channel selection. When selected it thickens the
bottom end of the sound and tightens the playing feel. On clean selections it adds body and on
overdrive provides the extra low end “throb” so essential for heavy rock sounds.
programmed by experienced guitarists. They have also been used in full stage and studio performance.
These sounds can all be edited in the way described earlier and recalled if necessary using the
procedure described in the section-“to re-initialise the JMP-1.”

two. By using MIDI to link these devices together, you can control them all simultaneously. This is the
real use of MIDI for the guitarist (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). Most MIDI devices are equipped
with three MIDI terminals, MIDI IN, MIDI THRU and MIDI OUT. The connection between these terminals
is quite simple. A MIDI IN terminal would be connected to a MIDI Out or MIDI THRU terminal.
Messages are sent from a MIDI OUT terminal to a MIDI IN terminal.
MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN terminal are simultaneously routed through at the MIDI THRU
terminal. So the messages being sent via MIDI THRU are a direct copy of the messages received at
MIDI IN. The MIDI OUT terminal is not the same as the MIDI THRU terminal. The JMP-1 will send it’s
own MIDI messages via the MIDI OUT terminal.
There are various different MIDI messages that one device can send to another. The most important
message is the MIDI program (patch) change message. When the JMP-1 receives a program change
message it will call up a patch. Whenever the JMP-1 calls up a new patch it also sends a MIDI program
change message via the MIDI OUT terminal. Pressing a pedal on a MIDI foot controller will send a
MIDI program change message. Each MIDI program change message carries a number between 00
and 127 corresponding to the patch/program to be called up. The JMP-1 has 100 internal patches but
will respond to all 128 MIDI program change messages, by using a MIDI mapping table.
MIDI Channel
Another important thing to know about MIDI, is the idea of MIDI Channels. Most MIDI messages are
sent over a MIDI Channel, of which there are 16. In order for one MIDI device to communicate with
another, both devices must be operating on the same MIDI Channel.
The JMP-1 can be set to operate on any one of the 16 MIDI channels or in Omni mode. In Omni mode
the JMP-1 will respond to MIDI messages on all channels and will transmit on channel 1.
To Set The MIDI Channel: After pressing the channel key the display will indicate the current MIDI
Channel setting (Fig 4).

Mapping table is stored in the memory and is made up of two parts, Input mapping and Output mapping.

Patch (00-99)
Front Panel
Control
Input Mapping
The input mapping table makes it possible to transpose any incoming MIDI Program Change number to
select any desired JMP-1 patch. For Example:
MIDI Program Change 124 could be mapped to JMP-1 patch 36, so whenever the JMP-1 received MIDI
Program Change 124 it would call up patch 36. The Input mapping function is invaluable if you are using
a MIDI foot controller that sends fixed Program Change messages.
Output Mapping
In the same nature as input mapping, the output mapping function can transpose any outgoing Program
Change message. If the MIDI OUT of the JMP-1 is driving an external effects processor, the JMP-1’s output
mapping can be used to select a particular effects program for each JMP-1 patch, with the advantage that
several JMP-1 patches can share the same program on the effects processor.
To Edit The Mapping Table:
1) Push Map key once to select incoming MIDI Program number. (See Fig 5). Use the data entry control to
select the incoming Program number (00 to 127). The decimal point signifies program numbers 100 and over.
2) Push again to select the Internal Patch to be called up (00 to 99) (See Fig 6).
3) Push the Map key a third time to set the outgoing MIDI Program Change message to (00 to 127) (See Fig 7).
4) Pushing the Map key a fourth time will store edits and return the JMP-1 to Patch mode.
Note: The mapping table is remembered whilst the JMP-1 is not powered.

The footswitch will call up patches one to four, however, the Mapping facility can be used to call up
any four of the 100 JMP-1 patches.
Memory back-up
Fig 8. Error Detected
The JMP-1 has an internal battery back-up system to keep your patches
safe while the unit is switched off. This battery should last for several years. Patch
Patch Data
Every time you power up the JMP-1, a self check program is run. If any
Store
errors are detected an "E" will be displayed momentarily (Fig 8).
If this should occur repeatedly, then it is likely that the internal back-up
battery needs replacing. Contact your Marshall dealer as soon as
possible and back up your patches (see System Exclusive).
System Exclusive
By using system exclusive MIDI code, it is possible to dump all your patch and mapping settings to an
external MIDI device such as a sequencer or data filer.
WARNING:- Receiving a MIDI dump will re-write all your patches and mapping data, so be sure that
you are loading the correct data before you start. If you are unsure then make a back up of your current
data beforehand.
Fig 9. System Exclusive Dump
Execute the dump from the transmitting device. When the JMP-1
recognises the system exclusive code it will automatically respond by Patch Data
Patch
counting the MIDI data blocks as they are successfully received (Fig 9).
If this does not happen then re-check the MIDI connections and that you Store
are sending the correct file. When the transmission is completed, the
display will return to normal.
