I just completed my acquisition of all the studio series amps with my new JTM. All have the two speaker vertical cabs and all are heads except the Classic which is a combo, making it a three-speaker system. I love them all. I use the Solodallas Schaffer Replica EX towers and Storm as the only add on to the amps. They all sound fantastic and cover the range from vintage classic rock (JTM and Vintage) to hard rock and metal (Classic and Jubilee). The Jubilee to me is an amped up version of the Classic with some more fun options. My biggest passion is nailing the classic AC/DC Angus and Malcolm Young sound. When I got the Vintage I thought I pretty much nailed it. That is until I got the JTM. That amp is spot on and gets me right where I want to be. With the JTM, the tower and a Gibson SG, it's as close as you can get. Now if I only had the chops...
I'm between the Classic and the Jubilee, are you able to do same crunch sound from JCM in the Jubilee? I like hard rock, Jubilee seems to sound more modern, like the DSL40CR, is it correct?
@@gustavoloebel correct, the Jubilee sounds more modern. It's a tough choice. I'd go for the Studio Classic if I'm a fan of 80's rock/metal while, if I wanted a more modern amp (it's the only one of the studio series to have two independent channels), I'd definitely choose the Silver Jubilee, by the way Slash and Joe Bonamassa used it. I wouldn't use the SJ as a pedal platform, with pedals the SC is better (on low gain input).
Amazing series of amps. Marshall really outdid themselves here. I have the SC20H and matching 2x12 cab. Combined with a les paul you can rock through all of the decades. That's the amp I played last time I played guitar. That's also the amp that I'll be playing tomorrow.
I have the SC20 and SV20. The JTM looks very cool. I like the softer drive that comes out of it (I'm mostly understanding that this is from the tube rectifier?). I'd like to grab one of those, too at some time. These Marshalls are pretty expensive in the USA.
The JTM is radically different (and sounds great), its tweed-like ancestry is impossible to miss, whereas the other three are all variations on the same sound. For myself, the SV is best - I prefer a lower gain amp that I can manipulate with an overdrive or boost. That said I’m sure the Classic and Jubilee have plenty of range in the gain. That said, I guess the Jubilee and Classic have a tighter low end than the Vintage?
Nice comparison and they all sound great with the JTM and Vintage sounding more similar to each other and the Classic and Jubilee sounding more similar to each other...no surprise there. A lot of people underestimate the effect that the speaker choice has on their sound and it's interesting that Marshall chose to use a 1960BX cab that's loaded with Greenbacks for this comparison since they don't use Greenbacks in any of their Studio Series cabs. In my opinion, Greenbacks are inline with the JTM and Vintage style amps while speakers such as the G12-65's or T75's would be more inline with the Classic and Jubilee style amps. The differences would be more profound.
@@ReValveiT_01 Yes, I see that now. And making it even more interesting is that the Jubilee and the JTM have a 12-inch speaker while the other 2 in the line have a 10-inch speaker, albeit a Creamback in the JTM. If I were in the market for one these combos, that alone might steer me to the JTM or Jubilee. So, I guess my revised point would be that all the combos in the Studio line should probably have 12-inch speakers with a Greenback in the Vintage and JTM versions and a G12-65 or T75 in the Classic and Jubilee versions. That goes for the speaker model in Studio extension cabs too. But it is what it is and they sound fine as they are.
@@ReValveiT_01 Only the Mini Jubilee combo uses a Greenback. The 2 by 12 jubilee studio cab has Marshall G12 vintage soeakers which are tweaked Vintage 30 produced only for Marshall by Celestion . The mini Jubilee 1 by 12s use the Celestion V type .. strange they use 3 different speaker types for the mini Jubilee but then again this was common Practice in the 80s . Some 800 cabs had G1265 some G1280 some had the T 75s and latter ones G12M70s . I tiink it was the same with the Jubilees you had the Marshall vintage/tweaked V30 the T75s and the G12M70 .
Amazing comparison! To me it comes down to the Studio JTM and Vintage as the 2 best. It really shows the advantages of not having a MV, the first 2 amps sound way more 'alive' to me and the power section is more opened up even at lower volumes and less compressed. I like the cleans best on the JTM, but the Dirty is best on the Vintage. The Classic and Jubilee are cool, but I find the distortion too 'hairy' in the treble for my tastes. Great in a mix for sure, but on it's own I would take the Studio Vintage over both of them. If I had to choose between those though, I would take the Jubilee over the Classic.
I would rather hear how the same amp sounds through the different studio cabs . I have the Jubilee studio 2 by 12 cab and the JTM studio 2 by 12 cab and they are the best 2 by 12s I have ever experienced especially the JTM 2 by 12 studio cab with the 2 Creamback Ms .I have been using both cabs together with the Jubilee studio B cab on the bottom and the JTM studio cab on top. The Marshall vintage speakers pair extremely well with the Creamback Ms . I can't figure out why Marshall didn't offer a B cab for the JTM studio. I would have rathered a B cab the Size of a 1936 cab or the mini Jubilee B cab but the JTM studio slant cab is amazing.
Your never going to get that in rhe same amp . Others have tried . You'd clean tone is in the pre amp and part of the Marshall overdriven sound is the Marshall pre amp . Your not going to get any pre amp that gives you fender clean and Marshall overdrive. Any amp known for Its drive usually has less than pristine cleans . Then you have the speaker problem . The fender clean and Marshall drive utilize different speakers Fender has yet to master the art of an amp with a decent drive Channlel . The fender clean tone depends on clean headroom and the Marshall sound depends on early breakup . You can't have both of those things
All sound great ... or as alternative ... get a JVM50 and get all these sounds with master controls, 2 EQ, res/pres, multiple channels and reverb + 4 button foot switch. PS: and adjustable bias per tube if you need it.
SC20 all the way!! He had the pre-amp to around 7. My perfect spot is around 3.5 with an EHX Soul Food to drive it further. I find the SC20 has nice glassy cleans and a great drive when used tastefully!
Studio JTM for cleans/pedal platform use. Studio Vintage for Hendrix dirty cleans, '70 rock/hard rock. Studio Classic for '80 rock/metal. Studio Jubilee for more modern sounds and versatility. I need all four!!!
I am not a "Marshall person" but the JTM is simply fulfulling. It does not sound like an amp to me, but like "THE amp". It's quintessential. Everything else is a variation. 😊
I typically prefer Fender amps and the JTM seems to resonate more with me, I guess it's because it's the closest to it's spiritual predecessor the Fender Bassman. They all sound great though!
Great comparison, thanks a lot! What an amazing range of amps with each one offering something different. To me, it's a very close call between the JTM and Jubilee in terms of sound quality. In terms of tone, the JTM is less tight overall compared to the Jubilee and I've to agree with @edwardjons8684 about its Tweed genes. The Jubilee sounds heavier. IMHO, the Vintage doesn't sound as good as the JTM and the Classic not as good as the Jubilee, despite their tonal similarities.
MARSHALL AMPLIFICATIONS, add in a VARIAC control, SAG control and Bias controls to get various ranges of power tube break up tones plus a built in reactive load unit with IR cab+mic placement software apps. You can do it just tell your EE engineers to include this stuff because us guitarist need it for recording tracks and playing live gigs.
I am surprised, how little the amps differnt in this demo. My experinence with the original - not Studio series - amps is a different one. But I must admit, the Studio Jubilee pleases my ears more, than my original 2554 from 1987 ever did.
It boils down to cabinet choice. Although the difference is there, it's not as drastic as moving a mic in front of the speaker, let alone changing the cabinet.
@@portuguesebeer5069agreed. The jvm is a bit too fizzy for my liking. It would be a useful tool to have a 20w jvm to have such a versatile amp at that size. The 900 really has its own thing so that would be great
@@EverettVernon72 Never had a 900 or JVM, but they sound awesome on RUclips. I think this idea of the studio series (like the best of Marshall) is just awesome. After Jubilee, 800, Plexi and JTM, i think the most important Marshalls are DSL, 900 and JVM. Keep riffing, brother! Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Not sure I can tell a whole lot between any of them. Either you processed all of them the same through a DAW, or my ears are just getting old. They all sound great though.
Please, I have always liked your brand and it is endearing but I need you to catch up and release a pedalboard that simulates the Quad Cortes, Kemper, Fractal, Helix, etc.
Why can’t you all partner with Fender and build the amp we all want so badly. Fenders clean tone and Marshall’s drive tone. It would be such a leap forward the both of your companies.
Maybe with the old tweed circuitry that the entire Marshall bloodline is descended from, or the decades of innovation the Mesa boogie spearheaded, and Marshall following afterwards. It would probably take a fairly large head or who knows what a printed circuit board can do; yet I have a feeling it would probably take combining the differing circuits of both styles of amps. Michael Soldano of Soldano amps initially designed the lucky 13 amp to do just as described.
Nah... It's kinda impossible to get that without like two entire separate whole circuits with whole different sets of tubes and power amps etc, would be expensive as hell too
Love everyone here saying it's not possible. A JCM800 low gain channel and a Fender Bassman circuit are virtually identical apart from bright caps, gain levels and negative feedback levels. A couple of toggle switches and you're 100% there. The biggest difference in my mind is the speaker, in a fender you'd likely have a scooped eq and a marshall a greenback with mids and rolled off highs. With a speaker cab for each and literally any of these heads you'd be able to get very close to the point most would struggle to tell.
Good player but think you’d have been better served by someone playing 60’s through 80’s rock styles via a Gibson, preferably a LP.. Nothing against playing Strat type guitars into a Marshall at all but think most would like to hear the classic tones most associated with Marshall.. A Strat with a bridge HB sounds great but it’s obviously not the same.. Applaud what Marshall is doing with this line, great tones representative of each era..
I bought the sv20c 4 years ago and it sounded good but was missing something so i returned it. If you want the sound you need a 100 watt plexi The jtm sounds the beefiest and most authentic to the jtm45
Just got my JTM ST20C..it sounds like a dream! Just PERFECT cleans! Thank you Marshall🙏🏻
Silver jubilee all day long in both channels
I agree! SJ al the way! 👍🔥

That's the amp I played last time I played guitar. That's also the amp that I'll be playing tomorrow.
Great video comparison! Love the SV20H! Cheers
All of them sound so good in the cleans! I'd pick the Studio Classic for the dirt :)
Would love to see Marshall do what Friedman just did with the IR-X. I would get al the class Marshall amps if they did
All great amps, I’ve got both the SV20H and Silver Jubilee, they produce some very sweet classic rock tones.
I have the SC20 and SV20. The JTM looks very cool. I like the softer drive that comes out of it (I'm mostly understanding that this is from the tube rectifier?). I'd like to grab one of those, too at some time. These Marshalls are pretty expensive in the USA.
No rect in this
@@Chasetenny Ah, yes. You're correct. My mistake. I looked it up. No rectifier. Anyway, sounds like a cool amp.
