throw a guptech parametric EQ pedal in the loop, adds a resonance control so you’ll get all the low end of a 5150, learned that from Gary Holt… game changer for the Jubilee

@agufish - see if Sweetwater would loan you an 800 to A/B. I would love to Hear you eat some of your words. I loved my 800 & I’ve never played a Jubilee, but the 800 is the penultimate Marshall sound to me. Boost with an OD-1 is Garage Mullet Metal at its finest.

[@timwhite5562]

The Silver Jubilee has always been my favorite Marshall ever. It's was the only Marshall I ever plugged into that immediately sounded like a Marshall always sounded in my head. A Plexi, and especially a Super Lead Plexi, most people will never get the opportunity to play it loud enough to get the sound they hear on albums…or at least they never could before load boxes and IR cabs existed. If you're a Strat player that uses higher levels of gain, the darker and smoother character makes it the ideal Marshall. I've been building and working on amps for 15 years, and the only other amp I've played that I would choose over it would be a Soldano SLO 100, but at $4000 it's beyond most players reach.

I found the cleans lacking compared to the Twin. It's clean, and it sounds wonderful, but it's not the pedal platform that Fender's amps are. Not even close.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

It's honestly the perfect mix of simplicity and versatility in many ways. You have cascading gain channels, a beautiful clean channel (no seriously), and it can cover many different styles. It's one of my favorite amplifiers, period.

[@Robbie28]

Great vid and glad ya love the amp. I recently was able to get an EVH 5150 EL34 combo (i picked the combo for the power attenuator it has) and let me tell you, that amp is awesome. I tried the 6L6 version and Channel 3 of course was awesome, but if i had channel 1 set up sounding good, ,then channel 2 was garbage and vise versa. With the EL34, i can have all of them sounding great at same time and i truly love it. Have been wanting this amp for years and i sold 2 guitars and an amp to get it, and it was well worth it. I love marshalls, but this EVH is awesome in its own right but its in the same ball park as the marshall imo just a little cheaper 😇

[@jorgea.9988]

I love every single amp demo/review on this channel. Can't wait to see the EVH 5150 Stealth review.

[@ryanforresterrenaissancesa4204]

I was working at Guitar Center San Francisco and of course this store got the first of these amps available. This amp was widely disliked by Marshall enthusiasts at the time and was not a big seller. This was when a lot of metal players (Metallica amongst them) were frequently visiting the store. It had too much going on for some Marshall fans and many could not get a sound they liked. The truth is that they really weren't very open-minded about it and likely didn't give it much of a chance. I liked it right away but, in those days, I wasn't into Marshalls at all. It's good to see that it's still around and appreciated today.

[@adamskold6395]

I have the Mini Jubilee 20W and I love it! Just curious - what were your EQ and gain settings? 6 on all and gain on max? I tried that and I felt that the gain was a bit too much/muddy if pushed to the max, especially on the clean channel since the gain is also shared between the two channels which is important when swapping between them

[@jordanfipps733]

if it's muddy back the gain off and boost it with a tube screamer it'll clear that mud up and get the gain u want back

[@adamskold6395]

@@jordanfipps733 Yeah that's what I do too and it works really well! I was mainly curious about the crushing tone Agufish got in the video, but perhaps that was boosted then?

[@jordanfipps733]

​@@adamskold6395from the signal chain list on the bottom of the video I'd assume he's running a precision drive in front of it for the Gainier stuff which would make sense to me since Marshall's are usually kinda mushy unless you know how to set the gain and use the right drive on it to clear it up

[@tim_shipp]

The riff has a happy walk with me in hell feel. :D Did you really just pull off a Nickleback riff at 13:00?

[@WTWASTHAT]

Good trick with the Jub, just park the output master knob around 6 (there's a sweet spot/boil-over point you'll feel) and just use the lead master knob for your volume. You can actually get good lower volume tone that way.

[@USDAselect]

That was so cool of you to buy a full 100w model. That's how Silver Jubilees were meant to be played.

[@tommytee3185]

when i decided to get into the rest of the guitar stuff besides guitars, i figured if i wanted a tube amp i'd start with marshall. at the time the new 20 watts were fresh on the market, and after hours and hours of youtubing to the best of my ability, and interpretation of what i heard on the youtubes, i ended up with the SC20H, the baby JCM 800. and i'll say this, it sounds good on a reasonable volume, but it's godlike when it's pushed way beyond the "do you think the neighbours will be annoyed by this?". it's accompanied by an early 90s mesa 2x12 (metal grille). i will never sell it!

I’ve got both mini versions of the Jubilee and JCM800. I genuinely can’t decide which I prefer. They’re similar and yet different at the same time. The 800 has a lot less gain but if you throw in a boost it can do almost everything the Jub does. They’re both a lot of fun to play live!

[@jerryvahnknight218]

Hell yeah!! Marshall is the best! Love my jubilee!!

[@jackace803]

Whoa dude I think this is one of my favorite songs you’ve done 🤘🏽

[@badtonestudio]

I’ve owned vintage and reissue jCM800 2203. I have sold all My 800’s and only have the Jubilee now. The Jubilee is what I always wanted my 2203’s to sound like. The jubilee is slightly more refined than the jcm 800 but it has more versatility and can get way more gain than a stock 800. If you need more gain put a Friedman Buxom Boost in front you’ll be in metal heaven! I love that the reissue jubilee has user accessible bias points. I highly recommend picking one of these up for any rock and metal player

[@brpadington]

The Half power mode makes it darker and smoother. It reminds me of a Mesa Mark kind of tone. At low volume a boost is necessary to get the high gain goodness.

[@bradsmith7311]

Bought a 2555 in '88 new in the box at the store I worked at and a few years later an '88 2550.they are fewrer than 50 digits apart in their serial numbers.

[@bbilman056]

when you doing a full review of the 7 string jupiter?

[@thegrandpencil4374]

Here is my problem with the Jubilee (which I owned at one point): it is not a traditional two-channel amp. It has two channels, yes, but you can not max out both channels for a totally clean, totally saturated tone. You can set it up so you have low-gain and mid-gain, or no-gain to low-gain, but you can not go from clean to fully distorted. To do that, you'd have to mod it or use pedals... so it's pretty much a one-trick pony. This is ultimately why I got rid of it. There was a time when distortion only came from amps, but that time passed long ago. Now we have pedals that sound just as good, so it makes much more sense to get a clean amp like a Twin and go that route. You can do so much more with it, and you're not confined to one tone. And if THAT isn't enough, we even have virtual amps... although I hate them lol.

[@mattchurchill]

You made some good points there man. I'm forever trying to decide if I prefer my jube or my Twin with pedals. The Twin is definitely a more versatile rig (even if it is an absolute bitch to move around😂)

[@thegrandpencil4374]

@@mattchurchill Yeah. The weight is ridiculous. I think if I were gigging, I'd get a Hotrod or something like that and leave the Twin for studio/home use. Way too heavy lol.

[@ChrisHariis]

Indeed getting the two channels uniform is hard. But it has in spades the best eq, great effects loop and amazing bloom when pushed, accepts pedals really well and cleans up nicely when you lower the guitar volume. It is to me an awesome JCM 800 with more gain, better EQ section and an effects loop.

[@gral9440]

I had a JCM 800 20w and a 2525 20w, I sold both to buy a JCM 800 2203. The JCM 800 2203 is the Marshall sound (with the 1959). The JCM is way nastier than the silver jubilee . With a SD1 in front, nothing can compare to a JCM 800. Maybe one day I’ll buy a 100w silver jubilee because they are very cheap here in Europe (1200€) compare to the US. But if you want the Marshall sound you need a JCM 800 or a Plexi first.

Sounds amazing! Beans on toast...my British Grandma(Nana) always called it shit on a shingle. 😂

[@lexschinkel]

As so many of us, all my life I have been looking for the perfect sound. I have found it in the combination of a standard strat and a black jubilee 2550 (Marshall made the silver jubilee for 1,5 years longer, but in a black housing). The reissue does come close. I think the difference must have to do with the transformers because the circuitry is exactly the same. I played my original next to the reissue and yes, there is a difference. As the originals are very hard to find (in a good condition), the reissue is in my opinion the 2nd best amp Marshall ever made.

[@seahuntersammy]

I really like the jubilee, but for me the very top of Marshall tone is the Valvestate 8100. Now I know an absurd amount of people think it’s a crap amp, but for me it contains the soul of Marshall, and so much more when it comes to metal (especially old school death metal and melodic black metal). I would absolutely love a video from you on the valvestate. Also, if you ever try to go Canadian for a video, have a look at traynor. Love your channel and keep it up!

[@watersnortmoment3734]

For me, it’s the classic Marshalls, like the JTM. I haven’t played a JMP or any of the others people classify as Plexis, but the JTM sounds damn good.

[@andrewbecker3700]

Seemed like the medium output pickups had the best overall tones. The SD '59 and Slashbucker alnico ii in particular stood out for clarity and balance. I've noticed people are trending back towards the classic medium hot pickups and away from all the high output overwound stuff that's been popular for awhile. Every amp responds a bit differently to various pickups.Cabs and speakers just aren't as important as some claim them to be.

[@jasonmyers3847]

It..... really doesn't. The Origin is a throwback to the '60s early days of Jim Marshall. Stripped down and simple sound. If you want any distortion like the Jubilee, you have to run pedals through it. What my point is, you've got an all around bad ass amp. I will be getting myself one, as well.

You should see if you can get your hands on a Marshall with a 34, 36 (Appetite for Destruction sound), or 39 mod for a video.
