Introduction

The relationship between the guitarist and amplifier has been our prime concern since the e arliest
M arshalls were produced. W e alw ays aim to give that extra edge, which can help to inspire the
player, fuelling cre ativity and the a bility to express.
A dvances in technology have allowed us to modify and enhance this b asic principle for the benefit of
the musician. However, we have never lost sight of that extra emotional drive that only valves are
ca p a ble of producing. The whole character of our unique sound emanates from the bre athing full
bodied pure tone of the valve.
Your JMP-1 MIDI pre-amp is a carefully designed coalescence between modern MIDI technology and
classic M arshall valve circuitry. Its many tones are all valve generated and presented in a w ay that is
both comforta ble and familiar to guitar players.
The digital control ca p a bilities a dd a new degree of flexibility to the w ay in which the tones can be
switched and processed. The a dvanta ges provided by this level of control are truly astounding. After
studying the manual and with a little practical exploration, you will find an unbelieva ble range of sounds
and will very soon wonder how you mana ged without MIDI. The only limit is your own ima gination.

Sound Selections
There is a definite identifia ble character to the M arshall Sound throughout the ye ars. largely derived
from the unique qualities of valve power. O ur expertise in harnessing valve drive has been fully
exploited in the JMP-1 to recre ate the various classic sounds and to generate new tones that will
become the classics of the future. Be aring in mind the variations in guitar types and styles, plus the
flexibility of the control p arameters, the following guide gives an indication of e ach channel's b asic
sound type.
Clean 1
This is a w arm full bodied cle an tone, ide al for rich chords, which can be softened for ja z z tones or, by
a dding g ain, will suit cle an le a d lines with a hint of vinta ge distortion.
Clean 2
In complete contrast to Cle an 1, Cle an 2 is bright and glassy with a cle ar jangling tone. In a ddition it
contains the unique lively edge found only in the e arly JTM 4 5 and Super Le a d Amps operating at
volumes just below distortion.
OD 1
Fe atures the purity of distortion from the golden a ge of the plexi glass Super Le a ds. As the g ain is
incre ased you p ass through degrees of distortion into a rich higher g ain mode, with just the right
nuances for the modern blues rock player. Vinta ge crunch, modern metal and fat blues le a d sounds are
all re a dily availa ble.
OD 2
Tightly focused stunning high g ain is what you will find in O D2. Modern and a ggressive, smooth and
fluid, the g ain 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. W hen selected it thickens the
bottom end of the sound and tightens the playing feel. O n cle an selections it a dds body and on
overdrive provides the extra low end throb so essential for he avy rock sounds.
ENGLISH
Factor y Sounds
Your JMP-1 has 2 6 sounds re a dy programmed into p atches 0 0-2 5. These p atches have been
programmed by experienced guitarists. They have also been used in full sta ge and studio performance.
These sounds can all be edited in the w ay described e arlier and recalled if necessary using the
procedure described in the section-to re-initialise the JMP-1.

In a modern guitar set-up you might have a number of elements, a pre-amp and an effects processor or
two. By using MIDI to link these devices together, you can control them all simultaneously. This is the
re al use of MIDI for the guitarist (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). Most MIDI devices are equipped
with three MIDI terminals, MIDI I N , MIDI THRU and MIDI O UT. The connection between these terminals
is quite simple. A MIDI I N terminal would be connected to a MIDI O ut or MIDI THRU terminal.
Messa ges are sent from a MIDI O UT terminal to a MIDI I N terminal.
MIDI messa ges received at the MIDI I N terminal are simultaneously routed through at the MIDI THRU
terminal. So the messa ges being sent via MIDI THRU are a direct copy of the messa ges received at
MIDI I N . The MIDI O UT terminal is not the same as the MIDI THRU terminal. The JMP-1 will send its
own MIDI messa ges via the MIDI O UT terminal.
There are various different MIDI messa ges that one device can send to another. The most important
messa ge is the MIDI program (p atch) change messa ge. W hen the JMP-1 receives a program change
messa ge it will call up a p atch. W henever the JMP-1 calls up a new p atch it also sends a MIDI program
change messa ge via the MIDI O UT terminal. Pressing a ped al on a MIDI foot controller will send a
MIDI program change messa ge. Each MIDI program change messa ge carries a number between 0 0
and 1 2 7 corresponding to the p atch / program to be called up. The JMP-1 has 1 0 0 internal p atches but
will respond to all 1 2 8 MIDI program change messa ges, by using a MIDI ma pping ta ble.
MIDI Channel
Another important thing to know a bout MIDI, is the ide a of MIDI Channels. Most MIDI messa ges are
sent over a MIDI Channel, of which there are 1 6. 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 1 6 MIDI channels or in O mni mode. In O mni mode
the JMP-1 will respond to MIDI messa ges 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).

Input Mapping
The input ma pping ta ble makes it possible to transpose any incoming MIDI Program Change number to
select any desired JMP-1 p atch. For Example:
MIDI Program Change 1 2 4 could be ma pped to JMP-1 p atch 3 6, so whenever the JMP-1 received MIDI
Program Change 1 2 4 it would call up p atch 3 6. The Input ma pping function is invalua ble if you are using
a MIDI foot controller that sends fixed Program Change messa ges.
Output Mapping
In the same nature as input ma pping, the output ma pping function can transpose any outgoing Program
Change messa ge. If the MIDI O UT of the JMP-1 is driving an external effects processor, the JMP-1s output
ma pping can be used to select a p articular effects program for e ach JMP-1 p atch, with the a dvanta ge that
several JMP-1 p atches can share the same program on the effects processor.
To Edit The M a pping Ta ble:
1) Push M a p key once to select incoming MIDI Program number. (See Fig 5). Use the d ata entry control to
select the incoming Program number (0 0 to 1 2 7). The decimal point signifies program numbers 1 0 0 and over.
2) Push a g ain to select the Internal Patch to be called up (0 0 to 9 9) (See Fig 6).
3) Push the M a p key a third time to set the outgoing MIDI Program Change messa ge to (0 0 to 1 2 7) (See Fig 7).
4) Pushing the M a p key a fourth time will store edits and return the JMP-1 to Patch mode.
Note: The ma pping ta ble is remembered whilst the JMP-1 is not powered.

MIDI ma pping is a simple and very useful facility, but it often confuses those who are new to MIDI. The MIDI
M a pping ta ble is stored in the memory and is ma de up of two p arts, Input ma pping and O utput ma pping.
The optional M arshall four w ay footswitch (model MPM 4E) provides a simple means of selecting four
patches.
The footswitch will call up p atches one to four, however, the M a pping facility can be used to call up
any four of the 1 0 0 JMP-1 p atches.
WARNIN G:- Your edited sounds will be lost if the unit is re-initialised.
Procedure, Hold down O D1 and Cle an 1 whilst switching on the power.
Data
Every time you power up the JMP-1, a self check program is run. If any
errors are detected an " E " will be displayed momentarily (Fig 8).
Patch
Store
If this should occur repe atedly, then it is likely that the internal b ack-up
b attery needs replacing. C ontact your M arshall de aler as soon as
possible and b ack up your p atches (see System Exclusive).
System Exclusive
By using system exclusive MIDI code, it is possible to dump all your p atch and ma pping settings to an
external MIDI device such as a sequencer or d ata filer.
To Transmit MIDI Dump Data: C onnect a MIDI ca ble from the MIDI O UT of the JMP-1 to the MIDI I N of the receiving device. Press the
PATC H key and the V O LUME key together to begin transmitting. The display will indicate that a MIDI
exclusive dump is in progress by counting the d ata blocks (0 thru' 9) as they are transmitted (Fig 9).
W hen the transmission is completed, the display will return to normal.
To Receive a System Exclusive Dump: C onnect a MIDI ca ble from the MIDI O UT of the transmitting device to the MIDI I N on the JMP-1.
(Ensure that the memory lock is off - see p a ge 6)
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.
Execute the dump from the transmitting device. W hen the JMP-1
recognises the system exclusive code it will automatically respond by
counting the MIDI d ata blocks as they are successfully received (Fig 9).
If this does not ha ppen then re-check the MIDI connections and that you
are sending the correct file. W hen the transmission is completed, the
display will return to normal.
