MATCH THE HARDWARE FIRST
Start with the instrument’s own controls
Distinguish the 2013 JVM410HJS from a standard JVM410H or JCM800. The JS2410, JS1000 and JS6 also have different pickup layouts: identify the guitar, then establish the amp channel and mode.
Equipment basis and value provenance are separate. Suggested values for matching hardware are still not verified artist settings.

What does the evidence establish?
2013 Unstoppable Momentum recording interview
Confirmation applies only to the stated era and claim. It does not validate a complete recording rig or our modeler presets.
Confirmed in sourceEQUIPMENT
Ibanez JS2410 / JS1000 / JS6
The recording list names four JS2410s, JS1000s and a 1992 JS6.

Four production JVM410HJS heads and a prototype are explicitly listed.
Do not conflate this with the 2010 JVM rig or a 1987 song’s recording equipment.

Start with the connections. Guitar → modeler INPUT → headphones or FRFR. Use both amp and cabinet simulation. For a physical guitar speaker, disable cabinet simulation and adjust the output mode.
The proposal fits within HX Stomp’s eight-block count. Actual DSP use still needs testing; omit optional modulation if necessary.
Tone and gain values are normalized 0–10 starting points. If the device uses a different range, begin at a similar proportion; this is not an acoustic equivalence. Time, frequency and mix retain their shown units. Leave unlisted parameters at defaults.

Make the final adjustments by ear
- Start at a low output level and check for input clipping.
- Bypass pedals and establish the amp’s basic tone.
- Match engaged and bypassed volume as you enable effects.
- Adjust bass for loose lows and treble or high cut for sharp highs.
