Marshall JCM 800 2203x VS Marshall JCM 2550 2555x Silver Jubilee |High Gain Shootout

[@1seNiMiNes]

Jubilee hands down

[@richardjameson3569]

Jubilee is slightly more rounder to my ears, where as the 800 is just brutal! Thanks as always for making great vids!

[@laikainspace1]

Sold! Jubilee it is. Thanks bud.

[@IndyRockStar]

I've been playing through my Quad cortex for the last 6 months with amp captures, and I'm pretty much convinced that the JCM 800 2203x and Jubilee 2555x are my dream stereo rig. They are finally back in stock at Sweetwater, so I'll picking them up after Christmas. I'll use the Quad Cortex for my Vox and Fender Reverb amps sparkly and round sounds.

[@monstercrx]

did you get them? how are they? Hope your enjoying them

[@mfog5543]

Both are great amps. I have an original 1987 Silver Jubilee 25/50 pushing through a full stack, 1960 slant w/ an 800 bottom. Been loven that set up. Also love the JCM 900 combo. Awesome video.....really got the juices flowing!

[@Melindakidd]

Killer job! Sick riffage Thank you for putting the work into this for the rest of us!

[@bisaillion]

Holy Frick. Came to hear the toanz stayed for the tunes!

[@IndyRockStar]

I play only Marshall amps. I bought and tried other amps, but I always end back on my Marshalls. Been trying to pick up a Jubilee for a while, and they seem to be on perpetual back order. Excellent Video!

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

I waited something like 4-5 months for my Jubilee. Not a big fan of these supply restraints! Cheers -Ryan

[@MARK-r6c3k]

Every time you switch over to the Jubilee it sounds better. It's got that little something extra in the Gain. Sounds like it would have more sustain. (On my phone)

[@TomTom-wro]

This compare is fucking nuts!! I'm devastated... Hands down... where have you been mate for such long..?😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@Kjetil_MB]

Great playing and tones🤩

[@David-wf4wc]

I play a 2555 exclusively. It is amazing but the speakers that come with the 4x12 can be very bright and fizzy in the high end when playing with gain or boosted. I had to split my cab up with 2 greenbacks on top and the 2 Marshall Vintage speakers on the bottom. Holy shit it was the best thing that's ever happened to my sound. It is so fierce and balanced at the same time. It may not be for everybody but if you don't like the sound of your 2555x with V30s or similar speaker, swap out and blend with something like a greenback.

[@MrGuerillaVideo]

Great video! Thanks man! I personally always loved using two different Marshalls at the same time… I’d love to hear the 800 left/right with the Jubilee in stereo. I use an old JTM45-100 with a Jubilee and that sounds killer 😎

[@IndyRockStar]

Just upgraded my LP Standard 60s with a Bare Knuckle Mule p/u in the Neck and BK Riff-Raff p/u in the Bridge with BK 550K pots and oil/paper caps. Man, that thing ROARS. I went off into a PRS rabbit hole for a year. I love my Custom 23 and McCarty 594, but I keep coming back to the Gibson LP. I'm going to pick up a R9 in the near future.

[@brpadington]

Honestly with a good boost upfront both will do the job. I do tend to prefer the smoothness of the Jubilee for most styles. In triode mode it has a Mesa Mark vibe to me.

[@philipcoaxum8792]

Yeah legit sounds like a Mark IV on pentode mode. Has the same bitting treble and high mids. Literally almost a clone, scary how they sound so close.

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Booth amps are top of the line, really awesome, but your riffs.... Fuck yeah! Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹

[@208414]

The 2203 sounds a little more brash / in your face whereas the 2555 is a bit more polished and smooth sounding. Both sound really good.

[@stevenrehfeld5939]

I still have my original jubilee, was my main gigging amp late 20 some years ago, haven't fired it up in a years though. The reissue sounds good, always wanted a JCM800, never got one though, but I do have a 78 JMP and JCM900

[@highdb1]

How does the 900 compare to the 2550?

[@tgunmusicchannel1973]

I've got an 800 and always wanted a silver jubilee, but there's not much in it to my ears. The 800 sounds like what I think most chasing tone wise, the jubilee sounds a bit thicker with some subtle extra good harmonic mids.

[@leftyfusion88]

Playing is awesome.

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

Both killer amps... It's a 50/50 for me. Certain places the 2555x had it over the 800 and vice versa... one should own both! lol

[@portuguesebeer5069]

They are very similar! Booth great. Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹

[@CJZonneveld]

I love the sounds of both these amps a lot, and would absolutely love to own both. But if i really have to make my pick i'd take the JCM800 over the 25/50, for i think the JCM800 has more punch and attitude.

[@arissp4950]

I used to own a silver and now I have a 800. Silver always seemed a bit more dark but fatter

[@Sellen-]

JCM 800 for me, awesome riffing 😎

[@magnusjarl9575]

Jubilee is a brutal amp 🤘🤘

[@gdawgs101]

This dude is a killer player!

[@FlankinspanK]

hands down

[@dasczwo]

one is better then the other. cant decide wichone.

[@kylepatrick113]

James and Kirk need to give you a call

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

I wouldn’t mind some free tickets haha! Cheers -Ryan

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

Here the 2555x sounds a bit boxy compared to the 2203x

[@Анастасия-ъ7ю6ч]

Okay, so now we need JVM vs SIL. JUB.

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

In good time. I just bought an ENGL Fireball 100… so I might end up focusing some videos on that amp first. Once it gets here. Cheers -Ryan

[@МихаилИсаев-и4ж]

@@Crypticmaskguitar So, I am choosing between the silver jubilee and the jvm too, what can you say about them? About their pluses and minuses? I will play old thrash stuff like megadeth etc. also I can boost sil. with sd Also excellent video!

[@ventsislavdosev]

What speakers do you use?

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

Black Shadow C90. Cheers -Ryan

[@ventsislavdosev]

@@Crypticmaskguitar Thanks, i thing the best speaker for Marshall arr G12 Vintage made in UK, Marshall is't metal amp.

[@LightningN1NjA]

The Silver Jubilee sounds better
