Nope, gain is the same.
This is what I read in the JVM410H manual:
"OD1 GREEN MODE: This is very similar to the hot-rodded JCM800 sound found incrunch red mode, allowing you to dial-in two distinctly different yet similar crunch sounds if you so wish - one in each channel."
"OD2 CHANNEL
This channel is similar to the OD1 channel
but with even more gain and a slightly
different tone network with the middle
control shifted down to being centred
around 500hz instead of the more typical
Marshall value of 650hz. The result is 3
high gain modes that are ideal for both lead
and modern rhythm metal tones."
If you perceive the gain to the be same, then that also indicates that there might be something for FAS to look at, that either the physical amp might have a problem or the model.
The only difference should be the frequency range of the mid pots. That said, because of that difference in range you can end up with more or less of certain mids between the two which you could perceive as a difference in gain (the same way scooped sounds seem higher gain then very mid forward sounds which feel dryer).
Yeah, I was wondering about that at first, but the manual reads that OD2 does have more gain.
