Sounds amazing! When I was looking to get a Marshall head, I was actually looking at the Silver Jubilee...until I discovered the JVM410H. The additional tonal options ranging from chime-y cleans to crunch to two different flavors of crushing high gain sounds really sold me on it. Still love the sound of the Jubilee, though, and I might've gotten one if the JVM didn't exist.

[@cmkimbrell67]

I got a JVM for the same reasons!

[@JakeTerch]

I really like the look of the Jubilee with the silver chassis and black tolex!

[@mp-rock7871]

The Silver Jubilee is probably my absolute dream amp. My love for it originates with my love for Gary Holt's guitar tone. He is obviously known for playing a variety of amps but he used Marshalls for so many records and he's been using a Silver Jubilee for the last couple of years. I saw Exodus live a couple of times during the last couple of years and Gary's tone was always awesome. He just has this mean, brutal, crushing tone that rips you to pieces. And when I learned that he gets that tone from a stock Marshall Silver Jubilee, I immediately knew that I want to have one of them one day.

[@acsteve427]

Hey Fluff, i own that amp (silver version), if you want it to sound really BIG you need to run the lead master between 8 and 10. All the other controls around 6-7 (quite the standard with Marshalls). Give it a try!

[@KarlKnowsMinecraft]

I have an original 2550 and I've had the same experience

Mind telling me what's your cab of choice or suggesting any good ideas to make it really breathe fire?

@@jhonpasquez6145 The Jube was specifically designed to utilize the v30 speaker. The Jube cab's v30's DIFFER from the normal v30's we know... They're 70w each and have a bit different voicing.

[@sugatooth]

Wow, that Bad Religion mix brought me back. Great tones!

[@timwhite5562]

The Jubilee is far and away my favorite Marshall. It does the vintage stuff and higher gain perfectly. I've been an amp tech for a decade now. I've built a couple dozen amps in the last couple years, many of them are kits people bought because they didn't want to wait for one to be built for them. People ask for opinions on what to try and this is usually the one, unless they're really looking for something only a JTM45 or 1959 Plexi can give. For single coil players that want to have a high(er) gain tone, I don't think any other model comes close. The darker nature just mixes well with the thinner, brighter tone of a single coil. I'll run it through Greenbacks with a Strat, but a brighter voiced speaker like the Vintage 30s are best with everything else. I fell in love with the Eminence EJ1240 Alnico. I've been a dedicated EJ1250 player for most amps, but the more modern feel and sound of the 40W is perfect with these.

[@gregmize01]

[@TVoltG]

I had one for years. I need another one. I remember playing a lot of Soundgarden riffs with mine and nailing it to a t. But other than that it was very versatile and it's limited in ways. And those limited ways were fantastic.

[@rangerdoc1029]

The greatest amp ever IMO is the Wizard Modern Classic and it's very closely based on the Jubilee circuit.

[@jessetate9701]

Yea but if u want to spend 8,000 dollars

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I’ve owned more amps that’s I can count and yet my $700 50w Jubilee is still the most perfectly balanced rock amp I’ve ever gigged with. The Jubilee can cover just an eye watering amount of sounds and with a good boost can get absolutely brutal. The clean channel with the clipping engaged can push out some really nice tones that remind me of something like my 100w Plexi’s little brother.

[@wakjob961]

Always liked you're contribution to internet gear nerdism... ;-)

[@tripledoubletroubful]

I've only recently discovered the cleaner, classic tones on my 2558 with the clipping and lower gain settings. It's an amazing amp that's kept my interest for years.

[@aaronmcnair1829]

I learn a lot from all these videos. At least if the only songs I can think of to play when trying out amps at the guitar store are "breathe", and "wish you were here". I can sound like I know what I'm doing when I talk about the amps.

[@jameswyre6480]

Also perfect for Eric Johnson tone with a muff and a tube screamer.

[@LoreAccurateHusky]

Never really understood the difference between a JCM and a Jubilee until I heard this. This amp definitely sounds a lot brighter and not as chunky in the mids like a JCM. Just comparing it to the sounds I get from my 2000 I can hear a huge difference. Honestly, I'd say the Jubilee is a Rock amp all the way while a JCM is definitely more of a metal amp.

[@djefferson5669]

I don't know if it is the micing or how you have it dialed in, but I never heard a jubilee I didn't like, until now.

[@rainerwinkler1026]

The EQ is pretty intense, his mids and treble are way off imho

[@ajhayes4425]

Stop listening to it on your iPhone 4 and go fawkin' play one IRL... Dumb ass trolls, if you think you have heard this amp because of Fluffs vid, your a sad ass soul brothers. No tube amp sound can be properly captured on a KZbin video. Being in the room is where it's at. This amp is pretty damn sick for the price! Get your freeloading, couch depressed ass up and go rock one. Betcha mind changes like your Grammys diaper...

[@RamonPalonski]

Same Here. I think it's because of the black tolex though.

[@sleepnaught]

I typically never put the treble above 12 o clock. The Jubilee can sound very harsh if not dialed just right. Its very very EQ sensitive

[@TheLesgumes]

Not bad for a Marshall, I appreciate the very dry demo, sounds more realistic.

[@JubbyDubbis]

Should've plugged in your baritone. I would love to see how the jubilee handles the chugs.

[@JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA]

its ok.... tone is really quite thin on its own...... I think this would probably fit best with like a engl or dual rec soud where this fulls in that mid range that those amps are not pushing as hard in a recording and live mix situation, but on its own I think I would need to be pushing it more with an eq and a thick od kinda sound.....

[@jppagetoo]

Doesn't the distortion on the 2555 amps come from clipping diodes? They have a sound. The Black Crowes's Rich Robinson used these amps. Joe Bonamassa used them before moving to high wattage Fender and Dumble amps. I don't love it, I don't hate it. If it works for you then it is good!

[@ericellis2729]

Same. Isn't my favorite tone, isn't the worst I've heard either. Has a high end harshness to my ears.

I just ordered a Joe bonasamma les Paul off of Sweetwater won't have it til mid December though. But after i pay that off. You bet your ass I'm getting this amp from them. A friend of mine has an older jubille and I love the sound out of this. He also had a jcm900, but got rid if it for this.

[@Spannchez]

My man. What is that angled flat cable your using going into the amp input? Ssssssssssexy!

[@KristianHeartmusic]

Ahh my favorite Marshall ever

[@jorismak]

Wait, how much?? I guess that's why Mesa is considered 'overpriced' over on this side of the pond… the same way Marshalls are way overpriced over there :). A 100w 2555x Silver Jubilee (not the black one, no) is 2.5x times _less_ than a dual rectifier. I love the Mesa amps but once you look how much you have to pay for them over here, you are way into boutique territory. And there are amps that are also very nice for way less. I guess that's why the Silver Jubilee is quite a popular amp over here. It gives a bit more of that scooped sound while still having a bit of that Marshall-tone in there, for not much more than some budget brands. And if I start saving up for a Dual Rect … before I have the money together I get to the point where I think 'I can have a Super Kraken or an Invective _right now_, or keep saving to get a Dual Rect later'... most people choose for an amp right now :). Just as a reference - and not to bash amps or say one is better, just to put pricing into context : - 2555x Silver Jubilee 100w - 1120 - JVM410h 100w - 1300 - jcm800 2203 reissue - 1700 - 5150 iii stealh 100w - 1800 - engl powerball - 1600 - victory super krake - 1650 - peavey invective 120 - 1750 - rockerverb 100 mk3 - 1830 - engl savage e120 - 2333 - mesa dual rect - 2750 - mesa triple rect - 2900 - mesa mark v - 3000

[@timwhite5562]

$3000+ is insane for the hand wired Plexis when you can get a Ceriatone for less than half. It's even more true for these types of amps. Spending as much for a PCB Marshall reissue as these, when you can get a hand wired for half is a no brainer. Though while their OTs are more than up to the job, I'd still suggest spending the little extra for a Mercury Magnetics.

[@eyedunno8462]

Okay

[@Mumumumykul]

oh man, as soon as you played the first note you could feel the classic punk energy. and then when you dial down the gain the tone doesnt get any less impressive. what a great, classic rock amp

[@francoispoirier1557]

Hi, one thing I wonder is why Marshall built 2 different 2555x ? one for 220V and one for 120v ? They are also much cheaper in the UK than Canada and USA..The mains is not switchable like the 1987x for example...

[@DrGand]

Dude I just ordered this amp today! So coincidental you posted this video. The reason I signed up to buy the next one available from Sweetwater was because I read on a forum that Exodus's album "Impact is Imminent" used a langner modded 800... And I read that a silver jubilee supposedly sounds pretty similar to that mod. How well do you think this amp could replicate that early 90s thrash tone like "Impact is Imminent"; perhaps with a tubescreamer? Loved the video man the amp sounded a lot like what I imagined it would and what I'm looking for! Just hoping that bass tightens up nicely with a tubescreamer but still resonates with volume with all the gain lol. Thanks Fluff!

The salesman said “how the hell did you get that tone, me and my friend cranked this thing in the back to get a sound that wasn’t too thin or trebly”. I explained how the Bass is more like a high end roll off and not much of a bass boost. I bought the amp Head ($1100) and paired it with my Orange 4x12 (400watt GK100 speaker). It sounded killer but I wanted the matching cab. I traded the Orange cab for the Silver Jubilee cab and only paid a $200 difference.

@@adamcontreras9710 A lot of people don't like the Marshall v30s but I love them. Perfect match for the Jubilee.
