Marshall 2525 Jubilee Head & Combo Review

[@CaptAnderton]

You guys are totally right about the spec of this amp being switchable from 20w down to 5w - its me getting my 2550 & 2555X amps mixed up - sorry!!

[@vivianstanshall8121]

+CaptAnderton Cap you need to invest in a Gretsch suits you sir

[@WinnieRoo1138]

+Vivian Stanshall, if memory serves, he has one. Revealed in his 'cribs' episode.

[@ImLeuff]

+CaptAnderton Would you say 5w mode is quiet enough to be usable for room practice?

[@garrettboomerbender]

+Vivian Stanshall I believe he has one I could be wrong though

[@OOO-s6b4i]

+Leuff 5 watt is definitely fine for room practice - the volume you get depends a lot on the speakers you are using though and the acoustics in your room etc. Usually it is more than fine, you can even use a 15 or 30 Watt amp to practice in your room, (you roughly need to double the power to gain an increase of 3db) - depending on the volume you want, your pedals, guitar etc.

[@truthfactreality6814]

All these years later I still come back to watch this. And I own the 100watt version. One of the best amps ever made !

[@ryan.1357]

Lee Anderton has the greatest job in the history of jobs.

[@MB-yw3pv]

YEA RIGHT, PORN STARS HAVE HANDS DOWN THE GREATEST JOB

[@wulfsun]

+Matt Bailey no

[@MB-yw3pv]

+Harry Evans yea I don't know how you guys do it accross the pond but in the US you have to pass a std test and be cleared

[@harryevans1117]

+MB215 k but they're a thing in the rest of the world

[@TheEchelon]

You don't have to be a porn star to get an STD...

[@bengalvin9932]

guys could you do a store walk through like through the whole store and talk about the different guitars/amps/pedals and all the other guitar stuff i would love to see that because i always like that part in the sounds like vid's when they go through the store and pick the stuff.and hey it would be a great ad for the store too.

[@Balance3rd]

Yea

[@cheezynachoz12]

Yea

[@tobyburgess1892]

yep

[@harrysouter2304]

Aye

[@NikoTsangaris]

Yeah!

[@cortarelva]

Haven`t heard a Marshall sound so good in a long time.

[@michaelfastoso]

20 Or 5 Watts NOT 50/25 watts Marshall 2525C Mini Silver Jubilee - 20/5W 1x12" Combo 20/5-watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Combo with DI Output, Effects Loop, Footswitch, and 12" Celestion G12M Greenback Speaker

[@thelowmein9143]

Old comment but that threw me off as well

[@ejpurkis]

Very true

[@mohamedalimechri2762]

that intro, that riff, that timeless tone, and that chappers's laugh, a well thumb up deserved

[@ethanbook]

"Modern and new is great, but that'll get you laid" truer words have never been spoken

[@PERRECTUMpl]

I can say that 2525H with 2x12" vertical cab sounds amazing when played live. I was expecting much based on youtube reviews etc. but when I started playing it myself, I was blown away. Its such powerful setup! If you expect that 20W of tube power is "not loud, enough for home" then you are totally wrong. It is enough for practice with full band and for gigs in smaller clubs. For home usage is 5W switch, which still is makes this amp sound great, punchy, and incredibly loud. Seriously, I am never going higher with output master on 5W setting more than 4/10 (input gain 5/10, no clip engaged). Best money spent ever!

[@davidhoban9919]

How quiet can you play this at? I have a 50w boss katana that I keep at volume 3/10 to stay below 85db at home (measured using an app), but I'd love to get a 2525h or c, just afraid I won't be able to use it at home without upsetting the wife and neighbours

[@Wolfdude1986]

i cant wait to start playing the gutar even though i got a disability its not going to stop me from playing

[@danwells3401]

+Nick Rosen Good man, go for it!

[@BenDewhirstMusic]

Good on you, mate! We wish you well! :)

[@unixtool]

+Nick Rosen havent played in 28 years. now thats a disability. rock on dude. you got the heart, you got the skills. rock on

[@Robstafarian]

+Nick Rosen What is your disability? I have spastic cerebral palsy, and I am in my early thirties, so I might be able to provide some advice (which would be a nice break from gear advice, though I am always glad to give that).

[@Sparky6string]

+Nick Rosen Good for you Nick. I am disabled with severe RA and I have been playing for over 30 years. I thought when I was diagnosed my playing days were over but they had just begun. I find it good to be stubborn as heck. GL!

[@joaorocha6810]

It's funny because rob is the only channel that i enjoy that actually reads and responds to the comments

[@charliechazestabrook9819]

Man that Gretch and Lee soun great together!

[@bismarcknewman3600]

+CharlieChaz Estabrook Yes they do

[@JuniaThePriest]

Lee.. man.. That Gretsch suits you so well!! And damn the tones!!!!

[@Snappers3b]

+Jon Kattrup Agreed!

[@Severinate]

+Jon Kattrup I have one similar, great guitars, very affordable and they just look dam cool.

[@Oscarbennewton]

Why is it that all the top comments on all videos are lame jokes about coming early? The last time it happened to me, nobody was laughing.

[@seanyiscubsfan1]

I own the 20 watt head and even though I’ve owned a few Marshall’s before it including the DSL40C and the Class 5. This is the best Marshall I’ve owned so far and the best sounding. That with a Les Paul and its pure kick ass hard rock Guitar tone.

[@vuriby]

Hey I might buy the head too, what do you think about the clean channel, is it pretty dynamic/ sparkling ? Ever tried a fuzz pedal on this amp ?

[@seanyiscubsfan1]

vuriby The clean channel is quite nice. While it’s not fender blackface clean it’s still very good. Also I’ve not tried a fuzz pedal thru it as I don’t own one at the moment

[@vuriby]

@@seanyiscubsfan1 Thanks for the reply !

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

A severely underrated gigging amp. Put these little jubs through a decent 2x12 or 4x12 and it'll do any gig.

[@geovaniefloresnaturalbodyb701]

Nothing like the sound of a good marshall amp.

[@danielsen6528]

Could't agree more bro

[@analogaudiorules1724]

Ive heard hundreds of amplifiers.... nothing beats this...

[@nickglaser620]

Yes, i play it my self and its the best AMP in the world!

[@MegaChoo2]

This video is a much better representation of these amps than any I’ve found going down the 2525c rabbit hole

[@matt926uk1]

one of the best sounding demos ive heard from these guys

[@ihatepop13]

You said it's 50w and can go down to 25w. As far as I know, it's 20w and can be reduced to 5w. That would also make more sense with a 25w speaker in the combo, as 50w would blow it.

[@segatortoise5455]

he said he was getting a peter green tone..... it sounded exactly nothing like peter green

[@Heatfarmer]

actually not, and you'd not notice any difference from switching pu's or engaging that EP3 booster either!

[@ryanmarshall7240]

The jams are getting better and better, you guys are seriously hitting the same wavelength its awesome

[@nacuda9]

I've got a marshall JCM 2550 head I bought brand new in 88, and not the Jubilee. Its all black tolex. I still own it and it still is all original. Great videos guys!

[@MrJaapdeboer]

Chappers playing around 4:30 is solid!!

[@RobChappers]

Thanks bro :-)

[@DanielFantini]

+Mannes heh pretty solid? Wish I could solo like that... :(

[@MrJaapdeboer]

+Dan 2c plus yeah you said it. throughout the rest of the video as well

[@tangoalfa1970]

Yes it is.

[@rafaelantoniocharlesthorne2392]

+Dan 2c plus just practice some scales a few hours daily, like one or two for a couple week and that's all!!!

[@tyson3571]

You guys have the best videos on the whole KZbin 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸

[@thomassmith2448]

"Modern and new is great, but that'll get you laid".....words to be carved in stone!

[@EDAR96]

I love these videos with a burning fiery passion

[@AndyK.23]

Cool sounding REAL amps! Thing is, they made 50/25 Jubilee heads back in '87, with the slightly larger head box.

[@lespaul1648]

I have had the Marshall Mini Silver Jubilee head for almost six months now. And for six months I have had mixed feelings about it. One day I think it sounds great and the next it sounds just ok! It just seems like something is missing. Then a day ago I purchased the Marshall DSL40C. Needless to say I was blown away by it. It just sounded way more Marshall to me. It had that growl that I love from a Marshall amp. I run the Jubilee through a cab with vintage 30 speakers so a cab change wasn't needed. I don't know......maybe I am going a little crazy for thinking a foreign made amp sounds better then a British made one.

[@JAFOpty]

I love that they are actually using EL34 in a lower wattage amp...

[@jayhova1776]

Broken glass/ mug sound effect never gets old!

[@BradyHiles]

Capt. and Chappers playing is great! Always love it!

[@oyesuken]

They did make a mini version back in 1987...the 2553, and that has the 50 watt to 25 watt switch. Had matching 2x12 A and B cabinets, with G12H's, or the V model with Vintage 30's, and it was called the 3/4 stack. I own one, and was hoping to see with this video if the 2525 was a suitable substitute to keep the vintage rig at home, but still gig with the same tone.

[@jasongroh4273]

One of the best sounds to come out of the Anderson's video room in quite some time. Nice to see them demo products where it is difficult not to get a good tone, very musical and pleasant.

[@devondadude420]

Been watching all your videos non stop for months now. Great work

[@vivekjha25]

The tone with the JEM. Sweet !!

[@SavoryThymes]

You didn't mention that Rob predicted this smaller mini Jubilee when you did the demo for the100w version in 2015.

[@Thekeg30]

I'm looking forward to hearing this super group! Thank you chaps! As ever keep making me want to play! Thanks, really need to visit the store!

[@duxerraticus9584]

This is absolutely the very first time I've fancied a Gretsch, though I'd prefer hardtail in red. Oh, nice revamp of the opening, Chappers. And Captain, really appreciate all the new content on the Andertons channel. Even bass! What next? Drums? Make yer dad proud.

[@jblazeby]

The sound of The Captain playing around 12:00 is the best sound ever.

[@themonotropicguitarist]

You guys are some of my favorite people. Rock on.

[@Juliang61]

nice banter. Played in a band in mid 90's who played this amp with a LP. He sounded awesome. I think you've prompted me to get one

[@craig9605]

That tone Rob has is filthy!!!! 😈

[@litos_mendes]

you are right captain bill kelliher has a friedman sig amp now

[@yourguitarist]

you guys have come a long way with your videos. it's fun looking at these old ones...like a little time capsule

[@chriskindler7625]

Man, so enjoy watching you guys!! Lee - you said it once - KZbin success is about PERSONALITY and how you interact together as much, if not MORE, than the quality of the content/demo itself... Would that I could one day crack a cold one (or sip some tea??) with you guys...that'd be a truly special thing! (BTW - late CONGRATS guys on your CURRENT lives and children/new things as of 7/28/2017!)

[@victorbr234]

for my ears it is one of the best sounding amps you`ve ever tested...

[@RussianMonarchist]

Probably the best sound I've heard coming through my earphones.

[@Juliang61]

I must buy the combo. In the early 80's I played with a guy who had the original amp....... Sounded great!!

[@christopherkahn6522]

That is really THE sound! My next amp is going to be a Marshall Jubilee! Fabulous demo.

[@tyson3571]

My favorite show on KZbin,Love these guys!!

[@fatjackson72]

That clean tone at 9:50 was sweet. Not the typical, albeit it awesome, Marshall roar... Good to see the other side of this amp's capability. Great demo guys.

[@juanp.rivera2841]

I loved Chappers tone with the ML2! It sounded sick!

[@robertconnor7911]

Nice one lads, sweetest jam I've heard you do. These amps may only have one sound but WHAT a sound. Carry on.

[@xxczerxx]

One Vision by Queen sounds so similar to Highway to Hell

[@allenbercero3661]

lee, you are getting better and better, god

[@MrTPF1]

The Jubilee amps all sound great to my ears. Classic Marshall tone in relatively affordable packages.

[@unixtool]

you know, the both of you jamming out and the ..just banter makes your vids cool. hardware is secondary.....thanks. cheers

[@thebigeasy8609]

Pure gold as usual!

[@Oyjah]

I think this is the first episode i've seen where i felt Lee's lead was better than rob's :D

[@roguejellybean2651]

That gold top ML2 though...

[@polpottopg]

Eh, not my fancy

[@diddymies]

looks amazing, perfect to me if i had money :(

[@anthony3262010]

Shaun235 I'm willing to bet it had the slash pickups

[@patfernandez8262]

Lee flying cheap is setting a good example. Great video!!!!

[@mickrobert633]

I have the combo version and couldn't be happier, if your into Slash, Angus, Aerosmith etc. its right there!!! those big rock tones!! it sounds nice with a Les Paul, Strat or Tele!!

[@rayrivera1830]

would love to hear it A/B vs the DSL40

[@MB-yw3pv]

YES I AGREE, CHAPPERS YOU AND THE CAPT SHOULD DO THIS VIDEO LIKE YOU GUYS DID WITH THE BASSBREAKER AND THE BLUES JR

[@danielguitar5150]

This would be great!

[@ianfisher5316]

Nice thing is it uses el34"s. Hence the classic Marshall tone, unlike most moderately powered amps.

[@scottwa11ace]

Great choice Rob .. my two favourite guitars together.. one in each hand!

[@iggrut]

I always loved the sound of a good Marshall :)

[@geecen]

Nice to see the ML2 classic. Not mentioned that often, but probably the classiest chapman

[@scottbowling58]

Hey. Your videos are great! It's the ten minutes of talking that I can do without.

[@DonCYHaute]

Little correction - the wattage switch isn't changing the voltage, it's pentode/triode.

[@Doug5524]

Bloody good video and the amps sound awesome true Marshall sound loving the videos Lee ,all of them

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

Finally some decent song playing in the intro obviously no disrespect to rob who is a great player, but at least we know how they sound if we want to replicate our heroes please do it more often guys to keep it fresh and not just constent shredding and keep up the great content :D

[@DeltaOracle257]

Yay, finally a new episode! 😃

[@boyknowsmadden4593]

Captain, your playing throughout was awesome.

[@wayfaerer320]

The head version sounds very nice - wow. By "wow" I mean, holy hell that sounds incredible for a mini head amp.

[@apessk8s88]

That lil jam on the Ibanez was sweet. I LIKE

[@ggiul1256]

Nice playing Rob ! Always great demos from u guys the amp sounds great

[@brpadington]

I think Captain Lee needs a Gretsch. This is the best playing and tone i have heard from him. Plus he totally has the look down.

[@benedekgabor.]

Hi Rob, Hi Lee All is want to say thank you guys, and I love you guys. I learned so much from your videos. I started watch your videos in the end of 2014 and I love to see how you are evolved, and learned from each other. How Rob become a more bluesy player, and how you Lee being more acceptable to high gain, rock, metal stuff.

[@randylahey1410]

It's so refreshing to see Chappers playing a Chapman that isn't a ghost fret.

[@vdbdg]

It's 20w/5w. Cool demo, it's the combo of all combos to have I think.

[@crawleytom5649]

+vdbdg good spot, thanks for pointing this out!

[@BreadandFaxes]

Yeah, I have one and it really soars. I played a gig yesterday with it and i was very happy with how it performed. I had it on the 20w setting and volume at about 6.3 I'd say. I have a foot switch for it which really made it very easy to move between clean cleans, and some thick overdrive sounds. My preamp output was at around noon. I usually keep the amp around noon all around and it is really pleasant.

[@bradreligion1]

Mother of GOD these amps sound so good. That Gretsch the Captain was playing was awfully tasty as well. May have to get myself one of each.

[@dorianclini]

Amazing review, you nailed the tones of it and you picked interesting guitars!

[@jmounce50]

Captain Lees best playing yet and killer monster tone from those Silver Amps of Love

[@tamirkeren6750]

The Jem sounds amazing!!!

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

That goldtop ML2 will be my next guitar purchase. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

[@thevtech167]

I always knew The Captain could play lead guitar! Awesome video!

[@bilalmalikguitarist]

I love these both variations of this amp! On my purchase list, would be saving up, and hopefully get the combo in the future to add to my marshall collection! I also plan to buy one of the carbon fiber combos, one with the cfx effects! I know I need alot of saving to do! Feel free to give opinions guys!

[@docrocknroll5386]

I love your sound effects in your videos

[@DrewPeabaws]

To get a Peter green tone you need to make the middle position out of phase my reversing the magnet in one of the humbuckers

[@dannylange2531]

I have a blues jr. Silver face & I have no problem seeing the writing, even on stage.

[@DSilvergun]

You guys should review the Marshall Handwired 1974X and compare it to the new Jubilee amps. Wish the new Jubilee amps did not have tubes mounted directly to a PCB.

[@sudharsanpaskaran]

cool amps and guitars dudes.. also cool riffs as usual

[@DanielWilliams152]

Great video!!! :) keep up the good work chappers!

[@matroid4996]

I come back periodically to hear the intro jam here

[@klauskloever3818]

Greetings, who would have thought that Rob could play beautyful music.

[@funyun000]

Lee was wrong i believe when he said it switches between 25w & 50w. Its 20w & 5w.

[@greatape7258]

The lead work on that ibanez was superb

[@Notpetedoherty]

Was rewatching the im back video and was thinking congratulations on all youve accomplished i know how it feels to fight the darkness

[@Notpetedoherty]

Also i know it has nothing to do with this video but all ill say is think about it
