Re: OK - so I want this....[Marshall Content]

I've been looking at both models of the Jubilee, for the full head, I wouldn't be gigging anyplace that would require that amount of sound reinforcement, and I have a DSL100 half stack sitting in my house. The chief engineer at the studio I frequent always raves about two amps, the mini-Jubilee thru a 2X12 with Greenbacks, and a Vox AC30...

100 watt Jube is a nice amp but 4 to 6 on the Master is the sweet spot.

They need room to run to get the goods.

6-8 on the master. Jubilees just start getting loud at 6.

What will it do that your Stilleto won't?

The jubes are the **** these days,most owners really speak highly of them.
Heck even Gary Holt is using one these days.

I'd say that my 2555 starts sounding good at around 2.5 on the output master, and really sounds great from 4-5. Between 5 & 6 it's getting more spongy than I like, and above 6 is too compressed to really be usable. I run the input gain at 7 and the lead master at 8, so maybe that makes a difference, or maybe it's power tubes and bias. Honestly it's academic most of the time as it's rare to find anywhere that'll let me run the 2555 above 2 or so. I haven't had a chance to really crank the 2525H yet, but I can confirm that it also starts sounding pretty good at around 2.5 which is a far more manageable total volume.

There was a year or two ago a ad in classifieds selling two all original silver jubilee full stacks... Next to each other in pictures...

Not exactly my ideal rig, but man it looked glorious. And cost a small fortune...

Re: OK - so I want this....[Marshall Content]

I bet it sounded pretty effing awesome too.

You know it's funny - back in the day when the Silver Jubilee's came out in the late 80's, everyone (Marshall-heads that is) turned their noses up at them.

The Jubs are either loved or strongly disliked, me personally say why havent you ordered that amp yet? Love my Jub.

The vintage speakers in the re-issue jubilee cabs are my favorite. The re-issue jubilee head is the quietest 100W Marshall I have.

The 2x12 cab is only slightly less expensive than the 4x12. I recommend the 2555 and matching 4x12.

My Mesa is the best sounding Marshall they never made!

There isn't one difference anyone would notice between the crunch channels on this and a real Marshall, except no one would believe the Marshall sounded that good!!

OK - maybe there are one or two differences. Or even lot of differences. My Stiletto can do anything you Marshall can and more, except sound bad!!!!

If you like more power tube compression or less power tube compression your good with a Jube.

If you can swing the 2555 I say go for it. The only reason I didn't get the 2555x was because I already had a 50 watt, and from experience gigging smaller venues I knew the 20/5 watt version could come in handy.

I wanted a Jubilee lunchbox for years because the 2555 (even through a 2x12) was too loud for most of the places I play. It has a great master and I could run it on 1, but it becomes an outrageously heavy distortion pedal at that point. The 2525 is manageable enough that I can open it up without the sound person complaining at me (too much). :lol:

Re: OK - so I want this....[Marshall Content]

I think the 2555x would be just fine...I never use my Mesa on 100 either

Unlike many amps with a 1/2 power triode mode, the triode mode on the big Jubes is a useful sound for some lead tones. Some have described it as a "variac'ed" sound.

The mini Jube's 5 watt mode is not triode but its power levels are derived from a power scaling method. The mini is pentode in both 20 watt and 5 modes.

This youtube has been making the rounds today:

What he say's about the 100 watt and 50 watt versions of these amps having a bigger bottom is true. It's also true about what he says about the bigger bottom often being irrelevant in a band mix.

Re: OK - so I want this....[Marshall Content]

I may be thinking of the wrong amp, and I'm too lazy to even google it, but didn't the Jubilee have some kind of LED clipping thing going on?

I'm probably wrong. It happens.
