throw a guptech parametric EQ pedal in the loop, adds a resonance control so you’ll get all the low end of a 5150, learned that from Gary Holt… game changer for the Jubilee
@agufish - see if Sweetwater would loan you an 800 to A/B. I would love to Hear you eat some of your words. I loved my 800 & I’ve never played a Jubilee, but the 800 is the penultimate Marshall sound to me. Boost with an OD-1 is Garage Mullet Metal at its finest.
Even the 20 watt Jubilee sounds amazing, personally though, I’m more of a vintage Marshall fan, but I also can’t justify Marshall’s US pricing, so I bought a JTM clone.
@watersnortmoment3734 Look and Sweetwater, now you can get these amps and even the JVM 410 for under 2k.. I'm very seriously thinking about snagging one. I agree on the crazy prices and I don't know if that's just a sale or what.
I've bought and sold just about every amp Marshall makes through the years. I still have my 100 watt Jubilee 2555 and 100 watt JCM800 2210 from 1987... they're my two favs.
I bought a 2203 re-issue a couple of years ago, and the only thing I want is to get another so I could have one at home as well as at the rehearsal room
I just wish Marshalls didn’t cost damn near double what they cost in Europe for US buyers. That makes it so clones and other brands like Friedman are far more responsible of a choice.
@@watersnortmoment3734I see these kicking about marketplace in the UK all the time for half the price of rectifiers… must be the opposite where you are
I used to have a JCM800 back in the 80’s. It was red tolex in color and 100w, was a screamer of an amp. Watching this video brings back that old Marshall sound for me. I may just have to hunt one down and get one. 👍
I’ve got a Jubilee and it’s absolutely killer. Every point that Agufish makes here is spot on, although one thing it’s worth adding is that it takes pedals incredibly well - the clean channel is a superb pedal platform!
I found the cleans lacking compared to the Twin. It's clean, and it sounds wonderful, but it's not the pedal platform that Fender's amps are. Not even close.
The Silver Jubilee has always been my favorite Marshall ever. It's was the only Marshall I ever plugged into that immediately sounded like a Marshall always sounded in my head. A Plexi, and especially a Super Lead Plexi, most people will never get the opportunity to play it loud enough to get the sound they hear on albums…or at least they never could before load boxes and IR cabs existed. If you're a Strat player that uses higher levels of gain, the darker and smoother character makes it the ideal Marshall. I've been building and working on amps for 15 years, and the only other amp I've played that I would choose over it would be a Soldano SLO 100, but at $4000 it's beyond most players reach.
I love that model of Marshall! That’s definitely my favorite model and I’m planning on grabbing the full sized version along with the little brother 20 watt version.
@@martyshwaartz971old comment I know but jubilees tend to like v30s best lots of people move them on as they didn't like it but they were not using v30s. My mate sold his but after playing mine throught a v30 cab he immediately went and bought another one
Fuck yes, I had two JCM 800s from 1984 - 1996 with two 1960A four twelve cabs and gigged with that rig every weekend. That’s when I was young, dumb and full of, you know. lol it always sounded so fucking good though. I miss those days.
I’ve got the 20w mini head and cab. I always look at other amps and try to find “THE ONE”. But I always go back to this. It does everything. It sounds exactly how I need it to. And that’s exactly the point.
I have the Mini Jubilee 20W and I love it! Just curious - what were your EQ and gain settings? 6 on all and gain on max? I tried that and I felt that the gain was a bit too much/muddy if pushed to the max, especially on the clean channel since the gain is also shared between the two channels which is important when swapping between them
@@jordanfipps733 Yeah that's what I do too and it works really well! I was mainly curious about the crushing tone Agufish got in the video, but perhaps that was boosted then?
@@adamskold6395from the signal chain list on the bottom of the video I'd assume he's running a precision drive in front of it for the Gainier stuff which would make sense to me since Marshall's are usually kinda mushy unless you know how to set the gain and use the right drive on it to clear it up
Great vid and glad ya love the amp. I recently was able to get an EVH 5150 EL34 combo (i picked the combo for the power attenuator it has) and let me tell you, that amp is awesome. I tried the 6L6 version and Channel 3 of course was awesome, but if i had channel 1 set up sounding good, ,then channel 2 was garbage and vise versa. With the EL34, i can have all of them sounding great at same time and i truly love it. Have been wanting this amp for years and i sold 2 guitars and an amp to get it, and it was well worth it. I love marshalls, but this EVH is awesome in its own right but its in the same ball park as the marshall imo just a little cheaper 😇
10/10 a Marshall will never not cut. It’s like a mustang where many wanna trash talk but it remain the standard by which many say “ it’s at least as fast as”. Have a 2210 with minor custom work and I absolutely love it.
It's honestly the perfect mix of simplicity and versatility in many ways. You have cascading gain channels, a beautiful clean channel (no seriously), and it can cover many different styles. It's one of my favorite amplifiers, period.
when i decided to get into the rest of the guitar stuff besides guitars, i figured if i wanted a tube amp i'd start with marshall. at the time the new 20 watts were fresh on the market, and after hours and hours of youtubing to the best of my ability, and interpretation of what i heard on the youtubes, i ended up with the SC20H, the baby JCM 800. and i'll say this, it sounds good on a reasonable volume, but it's godlike when it's pushed way beyond the "do you think the neighbours will be annoyed by this?". it's accompanied by an early 90s mesa 2x12 (metal grille). i will never sell it!
Beans on toast is a lunch staple mate. We do canned spaghetti on toast too. Try it , you'll like it. Butter the toast. Don't forget to butter the toast and use a knife and fork. Don't try to pick it up. ;) lol Nice review! Cheers
Killer tones, sir! The Silver Jubilee slays! It'd be interesting to see what you think of the JVM410H and its two differently voiced overdrive channels (OD1 higher frequency mid hump, British; OD2 lower frequency mid hump, American) in comparison. I know a lot of people swear by the Jubilee over the JVM410, but not all.
I'm a bedroom player...when I was a teen I had a Lead 12 and it sounded great.Just getting back into playing and rebought the same amp and still is killer. I dunno, Marshall that sounds I love.👍
Bought a 2555 in '88 new in the box at the store I worked at and a few years later an '88 2550.they are fewrer than 50 digits apart in their serial numbers. Same amps as Silver Jubilee's just in black levant and gold face plates.I modded them to run 6550's or KT88's in the power section.the absolute bombs.
I was working at Guitar Center San Francisco and of course this store got the first of these amps available. This amp was widely disliked by Marshall enthusiasts at the time and was not a big seller. This was when a lot of metal players (Metallica amongst them) were frequently visiting the store. It had too much going on for some Marshall fans and many could not get a sound they liked. The truth is that they really weren't very open-minded about it and likely didn't give it much of a chance. I liked it right away but, in those days, I wasn't into Marshalls at all. It's good to see that it's still around and appreciated today.
Good trick with the Jub, just park the output master knob around 6 (there's a sweet spot/boil-over point you'll feel) and just use the lead master knob for your volume. You can actually get good lower volume tone that way.
The Half power mode makes it darker and smoother. It reminds me of a Mesa Mark kind of tone. At low volume a boost is necessary to get the high gain goodness.
I’ve got both mini versions of the Jubilee and JCM800. I genuinely can’t decide which I prefer. They’re similar and yet different at the same time. The 800 has a lot less gain but if you throw in a boost it can do almost everything the Jub does. They’re both a lot of fun to play live!
I had a JCM 800 20w and a 2525 20w, I sold both to buy a JCM 800 2203. The JCM 800 2203 is the Marshall sound (with the 1959). The JCM is way nastier than the silver jubilee . With a SD1 in front, nothing can compare to a JCM 800. Maybe one day I’ll buy a 100w silver jubilee because they are very cheap here in Europe (1200€) compare to the US. But if you want the Marshall sound you need a JCM 800 or a Plexi first.
Here is my problem with the Jubilee (which I owned at one point): it is not a traditional two-channel amp. It has two channels, yes, but you can not max out both channels for a totally clean, totally saturated tone. You can set it up so you have low-gain and mid-gain, or no-gain to low-gain, but you can not go from clean to fully distorted. To do that, you'd have to mod it or use pedals... so it's pretty much a one-trick pony. This is ultimately why I got rid of it. There was a time when distortion only came from amps, but that time passed long ago. Now we have pedals that sound just as good, so it makes much more sense to get a clean amp like a Twin and go that route. You can do so much more with it, and you're not confined to one tone. And if THAT isn't enough, we even have virtual amps... although I hate them lol.
You made some good points there man. I'm forever trying to decide if I prefer my jube or my Twin with pedals. The Twin is definitely a more versatile rig (even if it is an absolute bitch to move around😂)
@@mattchurchill Yeah. The weight is ridiculous. I think if I were gigging, I'd get a Hotrod or something like that and leave the Twin for studio/home use. Way too heavy lol.
Indeed getting the two channels uniform is hard. But it has in spades the best eq, great effects loop and amazing bloom when pushed, accepts pedals really well and cleans up nicely when you lower the guitar volume. It is to me an awesome JCM 800 with more gain, better EQ section and an effects loop.
Seemed like the medium output pickups had the best overall tones. The SD '59 and Slashbucker alnico ii in particular stood out for clarity and balance. I've noticed people are trending back towards the classic medium hot pickups and away from all the high output overwound stuff that's been popular for awhile. Every amp responds a bit differently to various pickups.Cabs and speakers just aren't as important as some claim them to be.
I really like the jubilee, but for me the very top of Marshall tone is the Valvestate 8100. Now I know an absurd amount of people think it’s a crap amp, but for me it contains the soul of Marshall, and so much more when it comes to metal (especially old school death metal and melodic black metal). I would absolutely love a video from you on the valvestate. Also, if you ever try to go Canadian for a video, have a look at traynor. Love your channel and keep it up!
I would go for one of these or the JCM800 before getting a newer "modern" amp... These are timeless classics. I love my JVM410 but 4 other Marshall amps are on my wish list. Great buy dude!
One day a Marshall would be awesome. I rented one back in 2008. It was a tube combo amp. I don’t know the model but you could feel the wind coming through the speakers as you played. At the time I had an Ltd with emgs 81/85. It was a true feeling literally the air you were playing through the guitar. Amazing experience. Haven’t played one since.
I’ve owned vintage and reissue jCM800 2203. I have sold all My 800’s and only have the Jubilee now. The Jubilee is what I always wanted my 2203’s to sound like. The jubilee is slightly more refined than the jcm 800 but it has more versatility and can get way more gain than a stock 800. If you need more gain put a Friedman Buxom Boost in front you’ll be in metal heaven! I love that the reissue jubilee has user accessible bias points. I highly recommend picking one of these up for any rock and metal player
Personally I’d prefer to run this darker with GT-65 or EV12L speakers (ala Joe Bonamassa), however the fact that it can do the thicc smooth JB stuff as well as the trebly Slash stuff is proof how versatile this amp is!
The tones you're getting here are awesome! What do you think the biggest difference sound-wise between the silver jubilee and the DSL line? Inherited a DSL15C and it's been working great so far tone-wise
It’d be fun for you to get your hands on a Marshall JVM 410h. The opposite of simple, but it’s a sick amp. OD 1 orange is such a great tone (or red if you’re using low output pickups) for high gain rhythm
Hey man, such a nice amp congrats!! Can you link the storage racks you are using for your amp heads behind you?? I am looking to do a similar setup, but struggling to find the right size. Thanks!!
I was looking at Ceriatone… I forgot which of their models is based on the Jube, but you can also get them with additional mods like a depth control so that was very tempting
I one of these. Great amps. But recently got the jvm joe satriani edition. Man now that is the best Marshall ever made. I also have the slash afd100. But the joe satriani jvm is the best ! Ps boost the lead channel with a klon and it’s heaven on the jubilee !
It..... really doesn't. The Origin is a throwback to the '60s early days of Jim Marshall. Stripped down and simple sound. If you want any distortion like the Jubilee, you have to run pedals through it. What my point is, you've got an all around bad ass amp. I will be getting myself one, as well.
As so many of us, all my life I have been looking for the perfect sound. I have found it in the combination of a standard strat and a black jubilee 2550 (Marshall made the silver jubilee for 1,5 years longer, but in a black housing). The reissue does come close. I think the difference must have to do with the transformers because the circuitry is exactly the same. I played my original next to the reissue and yes, there is a difference. As the originals are very hard to find (in a good condition), the reissue is in my opinion the 2nd best amp Marshall ever made.
You've never played a JCM 800?? I have a 50w from 1982, unmolested. I still use it, and it's far beyond amazing. Try putting an EQ pedal in front of it, crank a few tones that you like, and push the output a little and you'll be quite surprised.
You should see if you can get your hands on a Marshall with a 34, 36 (Appetite for Destruction sound), or 39 mod for a video. A lot of those 80's marshall mods were the precursors to the silver jubilee. I have a Silver Jubilee too, but it doesn't hold a candle to some of the mods from back then. Would definitely be an interesting vid, this mods were the tone for a lot of well known songs from that era.
Never played a jubilee either but Marshall is just it for me. Always sounds right. Had a Valvestate when I was a kid and a DSL now. Always sounds right.
Could you do a video that explains the differences between all of Marshalls current models? Most the major amp brands like Friedman, Soldano, EVH, Orange, etc all have their flagship amp so its very simple to buy from them. But Marshall has all these models with confusing model numbers and they dont even explain on their website what the difference is between all these amps. Like if I were to buy a Marshall I would just randomly pick one and hope it was the right one for me.
Great video! I run a DSL40CR as a head into a Wizard 2x12 with G12 Heritage30s and I can nail the Jubilee and JCM800 overdrive tones. But damn I can't touch those Jubilee cleans!
I am not a Marshall fan in the slightest but I always make an exception for a 800 or a Silver Jubilee. Being a 90s early 00s skate punk kid, they nail that Fat Wreck / Epitaph punk tone like no other!
Get yourself some thick sliced white bread, toast it, butter it and pour on some Heinz Baked beans, wash that down with a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea… Then go play through the Jubilee and it’ll sound even more awesome!! Fear death no longer as your life will be complete 😊
Beans on toast is one of the greatest meals in the fucking world, how dare you sir!!! In all seeiousness, great review was awesome to hear a big marshall set up in different ways and it sounds brilliant.
I honestly think the easiest way to get the Marshall sound is plugging into a JCM 800 or Plexi. The jubilee and DSLs seem like they still need to be dialed in

It has two channels, yes, but you can not max out both channels for a totally clean, totally saturated tone. You can set it up so you have low-gain and mid-gain, or no-gain to low-gain, but you can not go from clean to fully distorted. To do that, you'd have to mod it or use pedals... so it's pretty much a one-trick pony.
This is ultimately why I got rid of it. There was a time when distortion only came from amps, but that time passed long ago. Now we have pedals that sound just as good, so it makes much more sense to get a clean amp like a Twin and go that route. You can do so much more with it, and you're not confined to one tone.
And if THAT isn't enough, we even have virtual amps... although I hate them lol.
You made some good points there man. I'm forever trying to decide if I prefer my jube or my Twin with pedals. The Twin is definitely a more versatile rig (even if it is an absolute bitch to move around😂)
@@mattchurchill Yeah. The weight is ridiculous. I think if I were gigging, I'd get a Hotrod or something like that and leave the Twin for studio/home use. Way too heavy lol.
Indeed getting the two channels uniform is hard. But it has in spades the best eq, great effects loop and amazing bloom when pushed, accepts pedals really well and cleans up nicely when you lower the guitar volume. It is to me an awesome JCM 800 with more gain, better EQ section and an effects loop.
Seemed like the medium output pickups had the best overall tones. The SD '59 and Slashbucker alnico ii in particular stood out for clarity and balance. I've noticed people are trending back towards the classic medium hot pickups and away from all the high output overwound stuff that's been popular for awhile. Every amp responds a bit differently to various pickups.Cabs and speakers just aren't as important as some claim them to be.
I really like the jubilee, but for me the very top of Marshall tone is the Valvestate 8100. Now I know an absurd amount of people think it’s a crap amp, but for me it contains the soul of Marshall, and so much more when it comes to metal (especially old school death metal and melodic black metal). I would absolutely love a video from you on the valvestate. Also, if you ever try to go Canadian for a video, have a look at traynor. Love your channel and keep it up!
For me, it’s the classic Marshalls, like the JTM. I haven’t played a JMP or any of the others people classify as Plexis, but the JTM sounds damn good.
I would go for one of these or the JCM800 before getting a newer "modern" amp... These are timeless classics. I love my JVM410 but 4 other Marshall amps are on my wish list. Great buy dude!
One day a Marshall would be awesome. I rented one back in 2008. It was a tube combo amp. I don’t know the model but you could feel the wind coming through the speakers as you played. At the time I had an Ltd with emgs 81/85. It was a true feeling literally the air you were playing through the guitar. Amazing experience. Haven’t played one since.
Hell yeah!! Marshall is the best! Love my jubilee!!
I’ve owned vintage and reissue jCM800 2203.
I have sold all My 800’s and only have the Jubilee now.
The Jubilee is what I always wanted my 2203’s to sound like.
The jubilee is slightly more refined than the jcm 800 but it has more
versatility and can get way more gain than a stock 800.
If you need more gain put a Friedman Buxom Boost in front you’ll be in metal heaven!
I love that the reissue jubilee has
user accessible
bias points. I highly recommend picking one of these up for any rock and metal player
I love that In Waves chorus riff more than I can explain 😂
You make it sound like every known band uses it :D
The Marshall AFD is not a silver jub. the mid 90s JCM2555SL is silver jub with a Slash faceplate and it was limited to 3000 worldwide.
I love this amp so much, Been messing around with the amp plugin to the point where I am saving up my dollars to buy the real thing. great amp.
2nd video I have spotted The Darkness “Black Shuck” riff example. Love it 🤘🏻🤘🏻
What’s your go to tuning/string gauge for heavy AF stuff on a 6 string? (Like your epic intro 🔥)
Personally I’d prefer to run this darker with GT-65 or EV12L speakers (ala Joe Bonamassa), however the fact that it can do the thicc smooth JB stuff as well as the trebly Slash stuff is proof how versatile this amp is!
I honestly like the simplicity of the tone controls, sometimes less is more.
Great metal tones, but you skipped the excellent clean channel with clipping circuit sound: amazing with Fender Texas Specials!
Totally agree with your review of this amp here dude..
Beans on toast rocks. You'll be hearing from my lawyer. And from Bradley Hall.
The demo is one of your bests this year
Now that you've got us salivating over the big Jubilee, you NEED to do an A/B with the 20watt - we need a sense of the differences..... please. :)
Nice sounding demo track 🤘
Beans on toast and Marshall is the English way. I Like earl Grey too. Hi! from Warwickshire.
The tones you're getting here are awesome! What do you think the biggest difference sound-wise between the silver jubilee and the DSL line? Inherited a DSL15C and it's been working great so far tone-wise
It’d be fun for you to get your hands on a Marshall JVM 410h. The opposite of simple, but it’s a sick amp. OD 1 orange is such a great tone (or red if you’re using low output pickups) for high gain rhythm
Hey man, such a nice amp congrats!! Can you link the storage racks you are using for your amp heads behind you?? I am looking to do a similar setup, but struggling to find the right size. Thanks!!
I am trying to Marshall my resources to buy one!
That “Black Shuck” clip has me GASing hard…
😂😂😂😂 questionable financial responsibility.... that a great description for me too!
@Agufish Great riffs! The sound is great, but without great riffs, it is just noise ;-). You rock!
What is the clone you are referring too. I’m intrigued. Great demo btw
I was looking at Ceriatone… I forgot which of their models is based on the Jube, but you can also get them with additional mods like a depth control so that was very tempting
I one of these. Great amps. But recently got the jvm joe satriani edition. Man now that is the best Marshall ever made. I also have the slash afd100. But the joe satriani jvm is the best ! Ps boost the lead channel with a klon and it’s heaven on the jubilee !
I’ve been intrigued by this amp. I just can’t pull the trigger bc of the price.
sounds ridiculously amazing.
I'm pretty happy with my new Origin 50 amp. I've always loved the silver jubilee, though.
How does the Origin 50 compare to the Jube? Been very curious about them
It..... really doesn't. The Origin is a throwback to the '60s early days of Jim Marshall. Stripped down and simple sound. If you want any distortion like the Jubilee, you have to run pedals through it. What my point is, you've got an all around bad ass amp. I will be getting myself one, as well.
As so many of us, all my life I have been looking for the perfect sound. I have found it in the combination of a standard strat and a black jubilee 2550 (Marshall made the silver jubilee for 1,5 years longer, but in a black housing). The reissue does come close. I think the difference must have to do with the transformers because the circuitry is exactly the same. I played my original next to the reissue and yes, there is a difference. As the originals are very hard to find (in a good condition), the reissue is in my opinion the 2nd best amp Marshall ever made.
You've never played a JCM 800?? I have a 50w from 1982, unmolested. I still use it, and it's far beyond amazing. Try putting an EQ pedal in front of it, crank a few tones that you like, and push the output a little and you'll be quite surprised.
You should see if you can get your hands on a Marshall with a 34, 36 (Appetite for Destruction sound), or 39 mod for a video. A lot of those 80's marshall mods were the precursors to the silver jubilee. I have a Silver Jubilee too, but it doesn't hold a candle to some of the mods from back then. Would definitely be an interesting vid, this mods were the tone for a lot of well known songs from that era.
Plz make a video on the Hughes and kettner mk2
The nerdy depression of when agufish plays blink through a Silver Jubilee and not a JCM 900
Never played a jubilee either but Marshall is just it for me. Always sounds right. Had a Valvestate when I was a kid and a DSL now. Always sounds right.
Could you do a video that explains the differences between all of Marshalls current models? Most the major amp brands like Friedman, Soldano, EVH, Orange, etc all have their flagship amp so its very simple to buy from them. But Marshall has all these models with confusing model numbers and they dont even explain on their website what the difference is between all these amps. Like if I were to buy a Marshall I would just randomly pick one and hope it was the right one for me.
@ 11:00 Alter Bridge! 🤘
Great video! I run a DSL40CR as a head into a Wizard 2x12 with G12 Heritage30s and I can nail the Jubilee and JCM800 overdrive tones. But damn I can't touch those Jubilee cleans!
You should show raw amp tone vs pedal boost and different eq and gain settings
I’ve played the mini version combo and it’s great!
I am not a Marshall fan in the slightest but I always make an exception for a 800 or a Silver Jubilee. Being a 90s early 00s skate punk kid, they nail that Fat Wreck / Epitaph punk tone like no other!
What amazes me is that it’s a grand cheaper in Europe… Love Marshalls as well, I own a VS8100 and a JVM205. The JVM being my favourite Marshall ever.
It's because (surprise!), it's made in Europe. American made products are cheaper in America and alot of times never available outside America.
love my dsl40cr
Love the jubilee. Just wish I had the money and space and ability to play at high enough volumes to make a proper valve head worthwhile
Get yourself some thick sliced white bread, toast it, butter it and pour on some Heinz Baked beans, wash that down with a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea… Then go play through the Jubilee and it’ll sound even more awesome!! Fear death no longer as your life will be complete 😊
Shit man I thought that was an Alter Bridge song. So much AB vibes.
Beans on toast is one of the greatest meals in the fucking world, how dare you sir!!! In all seeiousness, great review was awesome to hear a big marshall set up in different ways and it sounds brilliant.
I honestly think the easiest way to get the Marshall sound is plugging into a JCM 800 or Plexi. The jubilee and DSLs seem like they still need to be dialed in
