Marshall Mini Silver Jubilee Head Demo

[@Tone5DP777]

One of the best sounding demos of the Mini Jubilee head. Nicely done!

[@user-rj3oq2gp4i]

Great demo, thanks a million for spending ample time showing the clean and mild classic, lower to mid gain properly. That’s mostly how I would use it yet see so many demos of it just with sizzling mass gain, or guys who don’t clean it up well enough. Your les paul with lower output PAF style tones, really helped this demo nicely . You now have me seriously considering this one. I’m still trying to decide between this or the Friedman little sister.

[@XESexperience]

Marshall Amps definitely need to give you credit for explaining and demoing their product so well.

[@Chuffin_ell]

So, the jubilee is gorgeous. It’s nice to know money can still buy some happiness. I happened across a little known Marshall Studio 30 from 87’. It was single channel that had a gain control. The gain could be controlled by guitar volume pot. It was, the most beautiful sound I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. To this day, I do not know why I sold it. If you ever come across one, grab it. Regards

[@eliasbarnes8061]

thabks for taking the time to review this gteat amp, undecided to get this one or the big brother, your playing is also a joy to listen to, thank you

[@trevguitar8169]

I've just got this Amp, great demo and a better explanation of the functions than some professional KZbin demo's I've watched. Thanks

[@pj5306]

Marshall should hire you to do there video! One of the best on YT. Everyone else has their volume/tone on 10 and shreds to demo every setting. 🙄 Well Played! 😎

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

Fine Demo, playing, expressive vibrato, tones, & ESPECIALLY tone tips! THX, I gotta get one! Be Very Well!

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

Good job with your demo! I like the way you showed all of the different overall tones it has.

[@stevendobias2960]

This is my favorite amp too. Amazing the tones you can achieve with a 50s wired Les Paul, the channels and the volume and tone knobs. The amp grit and distortion sounds better without pedals in my opinion, even in this demo. Really nicely done demo. I play this amp with a LP with 57 classics, LP with P90s, Telecaster with 4way switch Texas Custom Pickups and Stratocaster Shawbucker with Fat 50s. All these classic guitars shine on this amp. I have it matched to the 2x12 cab originally built for the 50 watt Jubilee with V30s and it sounds astounding. Add some delay and a touch of reverb through the fantastic effects loop as well. I have some other amps that provide specialized tones for this and that. But this is by far my favorite and most versatile. Check out my single released at the end of 2018 "Coffee to Go". That track is dripping with tones from this amp.

[@philroselle1514]

Great video, really shows the capabilities of this amp Thanks man!!

[@indiecrust]

This sounds great. Considering getting one of these and this video has help a lot. Cleans were surprisingly sweet sounding.

Filippo Z. LOL but I agree

[@Beatyzass]

[@riffshredington2776]

Great video.....nice playing my Mini Silver Jubilee and my vintage JCM 800’s are the best amps Marshall has ever made....so versatile and such a crisp clear sound without sounding harsh... And I my JCM’s are 30 years old and they haven’t needed any repair....that’s why you spend the extra money.....Quality.. Watch the Marshall amp tour and see a lot of the amp work is done by hand by skilled people who have been at Marshall for generations...

[@guitarexpert2245]

I have a JCM 800 2204, how does the Mini Jubilee sound compared to the 800? Can it be played at lower volumes, what about the tone. Is it more compressed than the 800? Appreciate your opinion! Thx

[@andrewslads]

No way ! I have this as well a YJM 100 and a Satriani JVM . The only thing this jubilee excels at is the clean sounds compared to the other two . Its cleans are great for a marshall. Its a good amp , but i think the YJM100 has an organic ness to it that's matched by no other marshall. then when you engage the boost it roars like a lion . The satriani amp clean tones aint great but its JCM800 take was good. its high gain sounds are good as well . No where near as fizzy as the original JVM. I bought this amp because it was portable and giggle . It cuts through a mix

[@javiceres]

The Red Marshall Astoria was something else

[@BillCookMusic]

I've heard the Jubilee referred to as having a built-in Tube Screamer, so I didn't see the point in adding an actual TS9. Great clean tones, great explanation of setting changes.Good lead-channel tone. Nice guitar.

[@adamwatson6916]

I had a jubilee combo for awhile and it didn't sound like a tube screamer or like it had a built in tube screamer.

[@Phillisteum]

Amazing tones! Amazing playing! Kudos!

[@brucejoyce9934]

Excellent demo, you really made me want this amp. Thanks for the great demo!

[@LeviSiccard]

That sound! I’m waiting for a month now for my silver jubilee 😤

[@XESexperience]

Same here... 4 months now n it's due in 2 weeks

[@LeviSiccard]

Ryan Desilva mine has arrived ☺️ very very nice amp!

[@Gibson1976uk]

I own the combo version and LOVE it! I’ve played so many amps!! This and those blue Lionheart Laney amps are my fave :) some people say the cheaper Marshall’s sound the same as the Jubilee!! Definitely not!!! :)

[@tomrband-sh4hf]

Huge sound!! Is there a difference in volume on the crunch and lead channel? Thought about more volume on lead for solos

[@RiloRox]

i think its your guitar that really makes the difference. that thing is amazing

[@zelon1983]

Thanks, it is a great guitar indeed. This amp sounds good with most of my guitars though Very versatile

[@cheezyridr]

i feel like a crack addict watching this video. i want this amp sooo much. i have the money but i'm trying not to spend it. i watch every video about it

[@richardmiller191]

I'm right there with you!!! Lol

[@cortviva69]

Good job Kevin! Real nice playing and a solid sound!

[@kotsiosarmw]

Hi mate, awesome tones! Do you remember the settings you had in this video? Sounds absolutely killer! Cheers.

[@onehotrocker99]

Great demo of the Marshall 2525H. Can't go wrong when paired with a Gibson LP either. Well done!

[@flavionovaes363]

Your video is one of the few where this amp doesn't sound Effervescent and grainy with Orange-like distortion. Do you think the Cabin with the Creamback is what is making such a difference in Tom? Thanks

[@adamswanson8216]

Have been using this app for about five years I have the black studio jubilee version which came out in 2015. However at that time I was playing mostly 80s music live now doing a lot of cream and blues breaker Clapton so I am using a LPB 68 deluxe through the clean channel switching between that and a versus straight flush, still having the dirty channel dialed in with a super lead Tom tone pedal ran through the effect loop. It’s fucking amazing. Excuse my language just love it man you can really make this more versatile with a few petals and take it anywhere. It gets rid of the ice pickiness too, when you use the pedals. 8:53

[@alfredomunozavila]

2024 and still the best jubilee review are those pickups lollar or bare knuckes ? Doesn't look like gibson brand

[@zelon1983]

They're gibson custombuckers (just a hair above 8kohm)

[@gillesgenete9598]

Good demo , playing and commenting. I used to have the combo but sold it in spite of goid tone and versatility, because I prefer my Vox AC15HW1 tones.

[@brucetungsten5714]

Great tones and honest, no hype review.

[@dragui9932]

As you said in the demo, the Jubilee seems to be very bright. It would be great if you could make a short comparison using the LP and a Strat / Tele. Thank you ! :)

[@katherineseiss102]

The EQ is very responsive on this amp. You can dial in dark to bright and anywhere in between.

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Sounded fantastic! Amazing playing to man. Appreciate the vid.

[@truthfactreality6814]

I have the 100 watt version. Prob my fave amp along with my slash afd100. Thinking about this mini version though for gigs. They just rock. You can get a mod so you can footswitch the pull switch gain on clean channel.

[@daviddorrian5349]

Thats such a great sound and that les paul is an absolute beautie! One day I'll own a lovely les paul I'm sure 😁 Congratulations on the amazing gear and great video!

[@antropomorfizacja]

which amp do you like most: marshall , friedman or victory?

[@MrCookieMoustache]

Brunetti

[@boboliver5907]

I own this combo and I love it....

[@heavyrelic8506]

Hey! Just bought this amp with the matching 2x12 (V30). What was your presence and treble setting? Especially in the crunch mode? Please Thank you in advance

[@dragui9932]

Great playing & demo. Very useful. Thanks

[@ДмитрийДианов-б2с]

Great amp. I want to ask some questions: 1. the clean/crunch channel and the lead channel: are they completely independent or we can use the lead channal with the crunch mode together? 2. does this amp take the 2 knob footswitch to be able switching clean/crunch mode and the lead?

[@zelon1983]

Дмитрий Дианов Hi, re1 - they are independent. Re 2 - crunch is almost like an option on the clean channel, so using your footswich you can either switch between clean and lead or crunch or lead

[@ДмитрийДианов-б2с]

thaks! 3. what pickups do you use on your Les Paul: Alnico 2 or Alnico 5? All together (the guitar and the amp) they are sound very tasty with great balanse.

[@paulreeves3746]

Really good video. Killer tones!!!

[@grassmastersmith4422]

This video is one of the reasons I bought the amp. All the sounds you can dial in. Most of the other video's show the amp as overly bright.

[@stevehall6424]

Hi , sounds great! Just purchased this, no pedals yet! What pedals did you use ? As sounds nothing like your demo when dry at mo? Great playing! Appreciate any feedback, cheers Steve.

[@zelon1983]

Most of the time just some EHX holy grail+ reverb in the loop. Joyo vintage overdrive in the beginning, but I did say when it was on. What cab do you play through? It can make a huge difference. The cab in this video was mini modern by zilla cabs with celestion creamback 65. Absolutely killer cab

[@stevehall6424]

zelon1983 thanks for coming back, bought the head with matching 2x12 cab (2536) , just love the tones your getting! Like you, love Slash & Gary Moore , in process of buying pedals!

[@vdbdg]

Nice tone. There aren't that many good demos of this amp. Marshall's own demo is not very convincing.

[@aliengrey6052]

vdbdg no that Steve someone of Marshall hasn’t got a clue!!!!!! I nearly didn’t buy it due to that demo. Now it’s mine!!!!!!! Great amp.

[@EYE50MM]

Does the included foot switch let you access all 3 channels or do you have to get another foot switch for that?

[@OzzGuitar]

Nice and warm demo. Thanks a lot 🤘

[@TS-wp3wt]

On the jubilee can you have a high gain and switch to a light gain or can you only switch from clean to low or high gain ?

[@thesphericalguy9018]

Sounds really good!

[@irblueflames69]

Sounds amazing

[@ignaciourciaserrano3089]

Friedman Dirty Shirley and Marshall Mini Jubilee, great gear but, may them sound very similar ins’t it?

[@metalworx4765]

Great opening statement- 😂 so true!

[@Bobbeloud]

Great playing!

[@mckorczas7483]

How about very low bedroom volumes?

[@yiannis_p]

Can you get that awesome tone for lead in the 5w mode though ?

[@thelowmein9143]

Yes my question too!😈

[@rspurgeon7804]

Enjoyed it. I"m trying to decide between your MSJ and the new JCM800 SC20H. Your video has been the most convincing for the Mini Silver Jubilee. I thought you made the video with NO PEDALS togive us the truth sound. Above you mention a group of pedals. Did you or did you not use pedals in the demo? THanks YOu have great chops.

[@zelon1983]

I did (and its mentioned before any pedal ia turned on) - joyo vintage overdrive and fire customs carpe diem. Most sounds were without pedals though. Quite frankly this amp doesnt need them

[@CarlCulpepper]

Great tones and great riffs!

[@zelon1983]

Thanks!

[@LeviBulger]

How do you feel about the cleans? Better than most Marshall cleans?

[@richp67]

Hey, Zelon1983, Marshall 2525H or DS Mini for classic rock \ blues???? Great playing and great videos, thanks!

[@JasonMcFly]

Nice warm tone, bro! A lot of guys dial them in harsh and ice-pickey. Good to know the good tones are in the box if you set it up right and play well

[@МихаилДогаев-в2д]

Hi, very nice playing and very good rewiew! Only tell: which amp Friedman, Victory or Marshall have better clean and which amp teke pedals better?

[@zelon1983]

Thanks! See...they all have great cleans and they all work well with pedals. Friedman is probably best with OD/Distortion pedals, it's also fattest sounding. It doesn't mean the other two sound bad with pedals. They don't. It's a really tough choice, that's why I keep them all :-) Btw - check out this vid for more samples from the sheriff (from 9:22): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJC4qYaIrLutgqM

[@МихаилДогаев-в2д]

I especially want to know how good clean on Marshall 2525H and how it amp work with pedals.

[@zelon1983]

It sounds really good to me and works well with most pedals I tried. I don't use much delays, phasers, etc, just a reverb in the loop and some OD pedals. No complaints.

[@МихаилДогаев-в2д]

Ok, thanks a lot!

[@fabbryx75]

A question: I use an Hiwatt Little D head on a Wem cab, and I like quiet and clean sound, is this head very noisy on the dirty channel?

[@zelon1983]

Not at all, but it will depend more on your guitar and the circuit in your building I guess.

[@PantheonLincoln]

Would you say this sounds good on the 5 watt setting at "bedroom" levels? Thinking of getting this head or the 1x12 combo, but it's always hard to gauge how loud it is "in the room" from videos...

[@zelon1983]

I'd say the master volume is so good, you can easily get a great bedroom-level sound with high power settings.

[@PantheonLincoln]

@@zelon1983 That's just what I wanted to hear! There's no such thing as a truly "quiet" valve (or "tube" depending on where you live) amp, but some do work well on lower settings. I currently have a DSL5C which is nice, but a bit too "modern" sounding I guess. Demos I've heard seem like this is even closer to what I want!

[@OyvindR84]

I have the comb. Get good bedroom level tones out of it, but i can be a bit fizzy at low volume, but if you put the master past noon the amp become a different “animal”! Pushing the greenback a bit and it delivers a real punch in the stomach!

[@patkong5272]

hi nice playing. I have the Friedman Mini DS, and was about to get the 2525H just yesterday. Would u say their tonal characteristics are quite similar? What do u like about the 2525H that the Mini DS couldn't deliver? I'm very close to getting it... I hope ur insights will provide the final validation :-)) Thanks!

[@zelon1983]

They are completely different. The DSM is always fat, has looser bottom end and more rounded highs. The jubilee is raspier, rawer and cuts through better, it also has a better master volume. I prefer the jubilee most of the time, but the lead tones on DSM's highest gain stage are amazing.

[@patkong5272]

Excellent, thanks!

[@ericvituccimusic]

That amp sounds great, I have an original 2553 and my amp is really dark sounding compared to that. Jubliees have been know to be dark sounding amps. But I really like the sound of that one.

[@BradSPics]

Great review. Great tone. What is the wattage of the Creamback in that cab?

[@marintomljanovic6313]

Nice review and playing

[@JksGuitarCave]

Very... very Nice demo of this amp. Makes me want to explore the possibilities of mine more... You fail to mention that it has one major drawback though... on stages it is close to impossible to see the text on the panel... which makes it difficult to adjust EQ during gigs...

[@SaintsCheat]

Jk you can memorize songs and formats on stage but you can’t memorize 4 knobs that say Trebel Middle Bass and Gain? Haha

[@JksGuitarCave]

SaintsCheat Buy a jubilee, find a band and take it to a gig... then you’ll understand what I’m talking about. I could elaborate but this is a YT comment section, not a full blown review. Haha...

[@fernandagarcia9706]

Could any owner of a 2525h explain me something please? Does the pull switch to change the channels on the amp works when the footswitch is plugged in? thanks a lot

[@embreesmith7613]

[@guitarexpert2245]

Why does everyone associate this amp with Slash? He hardly used this and doesn't in concert. He's a JCM 800 2203 guy. However i got this amp a few months ago and it delivers that Marshall sound. It's a little darker then the JCM 800, but still sounds like it. It roars and can blow your head clean off. I also have a Jcm 2000 DsL 50, which sounds completely different.

[@EB1775]

Which do you like better DSL or Jube and why?

[@guitarexpert2245]

@@EB1775 They are just different. The JCM 2000 really has that Marshall sizzle. While the Jubilee is more compressed but sounds more classsic. I don't like one better than the other. Just different. Speakers made more of a difference.

[@sleepnaught]

Old comment, but i needed to correct this. Slash used the Marshall 2555 Jubilee live from 1988 to 2003, when switched to the Marshall Vintage Modern for a few years with Velvet Revolver. He used the Marshall AFD 100 with his solo band, but went back to Jubilees for the Guns N' Roses reunion tour. You can watch a recent tour of his live gear with his tech, Adam Day on KZbin. Cool stuff! Here's a photo of his rig during the Use Your Illusion tour back in the early 90s www.slashparadise.com/equipment/live-gear-guns-n-roses-03-amps.jpg He uses two Jubilees in stereo for the dirty sound, a third for his clean sound with KT88 tubes, and a 4th exclusively for his Heil Talk box, which IIRC, used 6550 tubes. Now, from the UYI albums in on wards, with exception of one or both of the Snakepit albums, he used a Marshall JCM 800 2203, with 6550 tubes, for the majority of his dirty tone. He also used some Fender amps for clean/oddball sounds on the Velvet Revolver albums. The solos albums were all done with the JCM 800 as well.

[@szpackyu]

is that a traditional polish hat wearing by people from the tatra mountains? :D

[@emreemre369]

You have done some great reviews, appreciated. I was on exactly these three amps actually. Which of these would you pick if you were supposed to have only one of them, and why, if you please?

[@zelon1983]

Thanks. This seems to be the number 1 question people ask me. I personally can't choose, that's why I'm keeping them all :-) I can tell you which amp I play most though - it's the Victory. That's because it sounds most organic to me and works great with some of my amp-in-a-box pedals. That's not to say the other two don't, I just personally find the sound of the Sheriff most pleasing. All 3 are fantastic amps, you can't go wrong.

[@zelon1983]

Btw, if you're planning on playing live most of the time, then I think the Marshall will cut through best

[@emreemre369]

You mean amp-in-a-box pedals into the clean amp or pedals to push the overdriven amp? I am most interested in the latter, and the word is that Sheriff is not great for the job. You sound pretty good with the pedals in the Sheriff video. But will it do higher gain with pedals without getting raspy, harsh, unpeasant etc? Higher gain like Van Halen levels.

[@zelon1983]

I put these pedals mostly into the clean amp. I think it's nonsense that sheriff doesn't work good with pedals. Imo it works GREAT with pedals and whoever says it's too raspy etc. clearly never gigged or recorded. It's way less raspy than most iconic marshalls and it's this raspiness that let's you cut through and stand out in a mix (it's no longer unpleasant then). The Sheriff may not make the greatest first impression, but it grew greatly in my eyes.

[@grigorisgiannikos4999]

I'm really worried about the brightness that you mentioned. I have a Gibson sg standard with some pretty bitty pickups. I'm not able to test it since its not available anywhere near my place, but i could use some advice. Its a fact that gibson and marshall are "married", but what about your experience?!! Keep it rocking man

[@zelon1983]

Pair it with a creamback 65 speaker and don't fret! It's a great amp.

The pickups in this particular guitar are alnico 3, but 2 other LPs I have have alnico 2 pickups (59 tribute from Gibson). They sound great too through that amp. Bear in mind the magnet is just a fraction of the pickup tone.
