Amp that could get close to this tone?

Re: Amp that could get close to this tone?

To my ears, a good plexi pedal would do The trick, Carl Martin I'd recommend possibly experiment with a v30, but if it were up to me, some type of Marshall tube, jubliee could work

I havent heard it but there is a company that makes a Silver Jubilee pedal that is supposed to replicate the sound of the Jubilee with some really good reviews. Its made by Alexander pedals

Re: Amp that could get close to this tone?

To me, you asked for "close" and that sounds like a very fantastic version of the ubiquitous humbucker into the classic early Bassman/Early Marshall circuit into Vintage 30s sound that made hard/classic rock.

and getting close to that sound is available in spades from most of the Marshall/Bassman vintage/classic rock derivative amps on the market today.

almost every reputable valve amp builder on the market has an good attempt at this tone available -Orange, Blackstar, Mesa, Marshall etc etc -just feed it with humbuckers and use some V30s and let the good times roll.

Carl Martin makes a great plexi pedal called "PlexiTone" but I was referring to the jubliee as a another great amp that could get ya there

This Amp was famous for getting THAT sound and the most fun amp to Mod.

I've actually A/B'd one with my 2525H, and the pedal sounds remarkably similar even if it still feels like playing through a distortion pedal. As an added bonus unlike the other Jubilee pedals, the Alexander has a full B/M/T tone stack.

Thank y’all for the help!

I believe I have found somewhat of a solution: Fender Bassbreaker 30R. It is a modern take on a Bassman/JTM type thing. If I had it rebiased to run 6L6s and an M75 or V30 instead of the V-type it comes with I wouldn’t be far off. I wish they made the Bassbreaker 45 head with a gain channel, but oh well!

The speaker swap may get you closer to the tone you're chasing (especially the M75), but the Bassbreaker 30R runs EL-84s, so octal tubes (like 6L6s) literally won't fit. If you're looking for another option for a Greenback (G12M) tone with higher power handing, I love the Eminence Private Jack. I'm running a pair of them with an Egnater Tweaker and they're great for Fender, Vox, and lower gain Marshall tones.

Sorry, my brain wasn’t working for a second there. I think I might have it set up for 6V6s, not 6L6s. I’ve always been a fan of V30s and Greenback together in a cab (obviously not really an option here without an extension cab but whatever), but I will be sure to check out those Eminence speakers!

EL-84s use a 9-pin socket similar to those used by preamp tubes, and only 9-pin tubes will fit in a Bassbreaker 30R. 6V6s, 6L6s, 5881s, and EL-34s (plus many others) are octal tubes with a larger 8-pin base.

I thought 6V6s were 9 pins? I guess not. It sounds great with the 84s regardless
