John Helps
John Helps' Amplifiers
In this interview he states that he uses this amp
Mentioned by Maybeshewill bandmate Robin Southby, who uses Helps' JCM 800, in this November 27, 2014 Total Guitar interview.
Robin: “The [Marshall] JCM800 I’ve used for years, which actually belongs to John, but it’s just a great, workhorse amp; you can crank it and it sounds great.”
Pictured and discussed in this February 8, 2023 Music Radar interview.
John: "I use a Marshall JVM 410 head which does most of the heavy lifting in terms of tone in my setup so this footswitch is doing most of the work while we're playing."

There's clean, drive and distortion across these switches and the JVM head lets you set a preset in the head. It has a clean channel, drive channel and two distortion channels. Each of those can be three different stages of gain so it gives you loads of control over the tone on every level of gain.
"I have a reverb set on the fourth switch but I don't really use it to be honest."
