So cool, In my opinion this is what is gonna need to happen for RUclips gear reviews to got to the next level. Real players live... no 37 takes in the "laboratory". I reall appreciated this thanks
Thanks for sharing! Both amps sounded fantastic and great playing! I’m quite familiar with the Smallbox having owned one for a year, great amp but personally I preferred the Jubilee in the clip, I thought it cut through the mix more, especially for lead work.
Excellent video bro! You know, I loved the sound of the Jubilee live - more presence and stood out in the mix a little more 😊 both great amps Jeff 😊 have an amazing day!!!
Jay Parmar yes it’s pretty classic Marshall. Bright on top and I didn’t even go really extreme. Thanks for watching Jay! I think I might have found a new niche for my videos. Since I’m out onstage anyway, might as well take stuff with me and test it.
Great to see them in a live situation, makes such a difference. I had a Small Box but sold it as the band I'm in runs direct so I use a Helix. I sort of preferred the Marshall though.
Something magical happens with boosting the Jubilee, instant monster. For Death, Thrash, Black Metal... and nail the 80s hard rock classic rock punk stuff of the 90s 2000s. Such a awesome sorcery this amp.
The jubilee was the clear winner to my ears - the freedman seemed a bit muddy in the mids - but was good in the soaring leads. Thanks for the great demo I am contemplating getting the silver jubilee- so far I have not heard anything I like better but ya never know
"...you never really know until you take it on stage" ...there speaks an actual GIGGING musician. Great comparison video, really good to see it in this context. Thought I was going to prefer the Friedman but, the Marshall sounded fantastic.
Your band is great! This is a helpful comparison because it showcases the type of music I would probably play. You guys did a killer job with these songs. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Man, what sound is that!? So killer!! You are a great guitar player!! Awesome amps, the jubilee is more classic tone, but this two amps together is so fuck*ng great, thanks!!
Really great review! Very helpful to hear the amps in context and that you took the time to explain a bit at the end was a nice touch. Great guitar playing too. Thanks a lot !
Both amps sounded great but the Jubilee was always much higher in the mix so it sounded bigger. It also even sounded as though you had a longer delay setting with the Jubilee, although this could have just given me that impression because it was louder. Didnt mean that it was bigger sounding. Ive got Two Jubilees and Two Friedmans (BE 100 and Dirty Shirley 40-Watt) all good amps.
I was in a similar situation where my friend's Marshall cut better than my Smallbox Dave walked me through modding mine by snipping the coupling capacitor over V2 That really opened the amp a lot more, and when I boost it with a Suhr Koko Boost reloaded, I get all the cut I need. Awesome amp
In a live setting is the perfect demo! Two of arguably the zenith of rock tone amps. Impressed by everything because wisdom obviously rules here! Great choice of rock songs also...thanks for the video and your comments 👍
@@BetonBenni where to start on this. I have not tried the 100 deluxe. Just a three channel version of what I have. Mine is a newer model with certain switches that are not even in the users manual. In all honesty, The Friedman has a much tighter sound. But that does not mean better. I find when I am playing through my single coil fenders or Les Pauls, I prefer my Marshall. It’s not as tight but it is sweeter. The mid range is where it’s at. It’s actually surprising how much gain the Marshall can put out. But it really starts to compress and fall apart after seven on the gain. In my opinion. When you start pushing the power tubes on the Marshall, magic happens. I really love this amp! Now on the B 100, every time I am thinking it can’t get any better than the Marshall, I plug into the Friedman and it blows my mind. It’s a tighter I British tone with ridiculous levels of gain! And it doesn’t fall apart, it just wants to cut your head off. This amp is no joke. I have a custom shop 62 strat and I can make that thing sound heavy as hell with the Friedman. Xtra switches on the back to pinpoint your tone. The main guitar I play through on this amp is an Ibanez prestige RGA 121. I have a dimarzio humbucker from hell in the neck, and a evolution in the bridge. Crushing tone with searing distortion. I think a good example of the differences in tone would be AC/DC big gun for the Marshall versus Steve Vai tone from passion and warfare. Just depends on what you’re looking for.
@@13mrbolivar I like to play modern metal stuff, sometimes at drop C, but I love Marshall type of amps, because they're sounding open and not toooo compresses, like most of the modern metal amps. Just great mids and nice high-end, but it has to stay tight. I guess, the Friedman would be my amp then... If it olny wasn't that expensive :) It has to stay tight and not get too flubby at higher gain setups.
@@BetonBenni Keep this in mind. I know Scott Ian pretty well. The last time they were here in Denver I was hanging out with a bunch of the bands and was surprised to see Gary Holt was using silver Jubilee‘s. That amp is heavier than you think. I had a boogie Mark five right before I got the Marshall. I thought I really liked it until I got the Marshall. But then I felt like I was missing something when playing more progressive metal single note solo stuff. That’s when I got the Friedman. In all honesty, They are such good amps but pretty different. The other thing is, the Marshall can really do the dirty blues thing so well too! I have a 65 reverb deluxe re-issue hand wired. If it wasn’t for the insane reverb of that amp, I would take the Marshall tone any day.
I hear you On the price of the Friedman. It is a bit ridiculous. I still can’t believe I bought one. You pay a lot for that few extra percent of uncompressed hi gain. I also have a TC electronics spark pedal that will get my Marshall in the same ballpark of the Friedman. Kind of.
I'm currently trying to decide between a Smallbox, a JJ Jr, or one of the 20 watt Marshalls. So hard to decide. I also have an HXFX. Do you recall the settings you were using on the OCD for boosting?
Both sound great, i've played both in the past and i preffered the Friedman Smallbox but the Marshall does cut through the mix better with the high top end but both sounded great with your band. Nice video.
i’m a fender guy. i bought the baby version of this beast the 2525H marshall last year and my first owned marshall in my 37 years of my existence. i normally sell and change my stuffs. now i sold my fender twin reverb and my vox ac15 due to let’s say finance problems. and now i only have one amp my marshall jub mini. and do rarely gigging now but i can say all you say is correct the silvee jubilee. for small gigs it kick ass already and for just bedroom playing it’s an overkill of enjoyment practicing with this amp.
Thanks for the video, i am looking at a jubliee in the basement as i type .it is a beast with total clarity and great grind that always delivers on stage.
At this point having any real amp on stage is a win in my book 😂 it’s amazing you guys can play killer shows without a laptop, click track or backing track! Imagine that!! Both amps sounded great! I’m partial to the SmallBox personally.
I have both as well, and both killer units. The jubilee seems just seems to cut through the mix better especially the lead tone. Pretty kicking band, you have a great singer
This was a great video, thanks for sharing. I own a Smallbox 50 and I installed my own SAT switch (SAT switch does not effect channel 1). I play channel 2 with SAT always on for rythym and always sounds like a TS pushed mean Marshall but I don't use any pedals in front. I then use the Friedman Buxom clean boost to EQ a little and give a db push to then sound more chuggy with a little grind. I've found the clean boost sounds way better with even better cut. With the SAT switch there is already more than enough gain so a TS type pedal just adds compression and actually lowers my overall cut.
Andy Pessia cool I never owned a real OCD but it model out of the HX is amazing! It’s a pretty transparent boost. I like it better than my tube screamer. I have the sat switch on mine, except it’s on the gain nob. As a pull switch.
When you play the Friedman, I can hear the vocalist clearer compared to when the Marshall is played. In the same I can still hear the guitar clearly as well. So this means the Friedman sits better in the mix ya?
@@jmantheman5595 I heared a sound engineer said the frequency area of vocal, but i dont remember exactly. But too much highs and upper mids, and low mids can mask vocal's presence and fundamental. I think it is a good idea to stomp a EQ pedal that carve out the clashing frequency when the vocallst is singing, to give him space. Sometimes guitar lost in the mix because of projection issue also. For example, the cab projection is hitting wall of human at body at the front row, until the audience behind hear a muffled unclear version of the guitar sound from the cab.
Cool video! I had the 2555x head and combo. I liked them. I never played the small box, but I do own the BE100 Deluxe. The BE100 feels more natural organic and many tonal options compared to the jubilee. You should get a 100 Deluxe and do a comparison.
Marshall's always cut through the mix better. They are more high mid range focused than any other amp. Friedmans are more compressed and can be very chunky, but chunky doesn't cut through a band mix.
Craven Moorehead this is true. Except if you know the Silver, it’s different than almost every Marshall I have ever owned in that the volume taper is pretty slow at getting loud. It takes 7-8 on the dial to achieve what Friedman does at 3.5 on the distorted channel. I volume matched them prior to the show. The lead boost on both is coming from Line 6 HX Effects. I did mentioned the Marshall has more low end girth, from its power plant.
I preferred the Marshall to the Friedman in this clip and the Silver Jubilee has never been one of my favorite Marshall amps. One of my favorite Kemper profiles is Michael Britt's Friedman BE profile. I'm surprised that I preferred the SJ in this clip. Side by side with a JCM 800 I doubt I would ever pick the SJ. Good band. Love the Dokken tune. We used to play that.
@satinwhip : Around 1987, when the Silver Jubilee originally came out, I already was gigging with two 800's (2203 and 2204) and a boost pedal in front . I bought the SJ but was disappointed , didn't like the voicing of that amp and it didn't sound as good with that same boost pedal as the 2203 did., so I sold it after 3 months...
@@Stefan-Van-der-Pulst Back in the day, I also used a JCM 800 2204 boosted with a pedal. I thought the SJ has circuitry built-in which emulates using a pedal. So, is running an OCD into an SJ similar to using 2 stacked drive pedals into a JCM?
I cant really tell because its a live band..live mix..the guitar sound needs to be separated out of the mix..if i had my eyes closed..it could be any amp..nothing stands out in this video..i need to hear one in person to truly decide which is the one...or maybe both...dunno
Just my impressions on the feel. The Silver is a great 800, but what makes it jump to just a little higher level, especially on leads is a boost! The way the amp comes alive exceeds the SM50 for some reason. I love them both and could use either on any gig. But if I was going to go on lead tone with the boost it’s Marshall all the way!
@@FinalResonanceTV I understand. I have a JCM 800 2203x and a JTM45/2245 (The post will bring it tomorrow). I will have them wired into the stereo at 8 ohms. Box 4x12 Vintage 1960. Fender ABY switch. Overdrives Friedman BE-OD and Smallbox
Mine is fat and perfect for live. Marshall need to be onstage to under stand why they have so much cut. They were designed with that in mind. They are not always the most pleasant alone.
Big fuck yeah! Booth sound good! But the Silver Jub rules! It sounds 3D, i dont know why! I whish ive been in that gig to drink some beers with you! Great band! Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Poor Friedman couldn't be heard next to the real thing It sounds like a ghost of a plexi floating around the stage but the jubilee is straight in your face and very present
Probley, the Friedman has more midrange cut, but you hit the Jubilee with a front end boost and it’s the best lead sound and feel of the two by a good bit!
Marshall wins easily and half the price of the overpriced Friedman which copies it anyways. Why are the drums too loud? They overpower everything you need to A/B the sound better so you hear more than just banging drums.
@@FinalResonanceTV I still take the Marshall as it is half the price and sounds as good if not better. Plus it is not trying to copy another amp. The only Friedman amp that is any good is the BE-50 or BE-100.
I hate to say this. I did not dig the Friedman at all.And dude, I have a Smallbox Combo. After hemmoraging that much cash for a single combo,(to be fair the local Friedman dealer did charge me the max they figured they could get) I saw that Sweetwater had a blowout going on DSL40C's and I could have bought NINE of those for about the same price I SHOULD have picked up an old Traynor or 2 or 3 and made a devastating wet dry wet pedal platform.
lynyrddeville i understand what your saying. It’s a lot of money for sure. My Silver was $1200 on final closeout and it’s a great amp. Depends on what you prefer for eq focus.
ISNT THIS A 100W MARSHALL VS 50 W SMALLBOX? its not a fair comparison! of course the 100w will outshine the 50w in a live situation, unless you are micd thru a PA system. 100 will always have a bigger, clearer sound and cut thru, than a 50.
Yes this is true. It was pretty close. Just the Marshall did this magic thing with the ocd boost for leads that made its sustain incredibly cool. The Friedman was a little less fat with that. But your correct 100w gives you that extra weight and thump
There is a video not between these two, but with that same SmallBox and A JJ micd up in my studio with outstanding 4k video. That’s a killer amp. Either is incredible, but with the boost on the front end the Marshall had an amazing level of Sustain it doesn’t have naturally.
Shocking I know!! In my mind I thought they were very even on the Rhythm Channels, but when I hit the Marshall with the OCD Boost Model! It did something so different than the SmallBox. It was the perfect sustain and feel. The Silver is a bit of a beast like an old 800 with a little more gain, but add OCD and it’s the perfect high gain lead channel!
So cool, In my opinion this is what is gonna need to happen for RUclips gear reviews to got to the next level. Real players live... no 37 takes in the "laboratory". I reall appreciated this thanks
Thanks!! I appreciate that!!

alaw8696 with the boost in front the Marshall was better to me as well! Amazing With the OCD Model to me.
100% agree. The Marshall just cuts and has something special.
The leads with the ocd boost were mind blowingly awesome feeling under the fingers

Great to see them in a live situation, makes such a difference. I had a Small Box but sold it as the band I'm in runs direct so I use a Helix. I sort of preferred the Marshall though.

@@FinalResonanceTV indeed he is a great player but you need to reign in your loud drummer a bit.
You guys have a great set list. Both sounded great. Thought the Jubilee cut a bit more.
MrWilly2204 thanks!
What speakers were used. You may have answered that already but I can’t find it. Awesome band and playing! Thanks
Damn that Silver Jubilee sounds awesome. Sits perfectly in the mix 👌🔥
I have a silver jubilee and a BE 100. The Marshall really cut through the mix in your set. Honestly, you’re playing stole the show. Great job!

Mike Morrison thanks!!
Final Resonance TV You’re re welcome. Need to add the Friedman JJ JR to the analysis now 😊. See how a low wattage amp stacks up and holds up
Thanks for the video, i am looking at a jubliee in the basement as i type .it is a beast with total clarity and great grind that always delivers on stage.
I don't really heed the video sound. I would go by the LIVE sound, and it seems they were pretty equal.
Great vid. Didn’t seem to be much in it when playing live.
Both sounded great. I guess it would come down to getting the best deal on either amp.
Dan Gnome under the fingers they felt the same, except the Marshall responded more intensely to the boost from my HX Effects.
Dan Gnome no doubt the Marshall was a better deal. $1299 vs $2750
Wow great review, own a Jube currently and have been eyeing the smallbox as of late but this is making me think twice...
The Marshall is it! Only way to get that true Marshall tone is to get a real Marshall!!
Big sounding band for what basically is a trio. It’s too much to ask to settle for one amp. Multiamp setup is the way to go!
L00K AT THIS GUY WITH ALL THAT GEAR IN HIS CAR!! 0H MY, G00D TIMES!!
Great review and amazing playing!
The real world scenario is an amazing concept for reviewing gear. Great work.
Thanks
Thx for sharing!! Silver Jubilee is an incredible amp. Is that a reissue or the original!! Don\t sell it. For me the silver jub is the clear winner.
With an OCD Boost in front, it's the best lead tone and feel I have ever experienced!
More videos like this please!!
Both great amps . That jube was killer
Great video. Both sounded great. Proof that it is pretty much impossible to beat a good Marshall.

I own the Marshall Hunter watt Jubilee also but I am having a problem with it being really tinny can you give me some tips
Turn the output Master up to at least 6.5. Also, you might want to lower your presence and treble and up the mids. Can also be your cab…
Mine is fat and perfect for live. Marshall need to be onstage to under stand why they have so much cut. They were designed with that in mind. They are not always the most pleasant alone.
Jubilee sounded amazing. How'd you boost the volume for the leads?
I used the HX Effects in the loop
Try the dirty shirley. Can get gain like the jubilee
Great job guys
Marshall all the way. Nice job on the Lynch too!
Big fuck yeah! Booth sound good! But the Silver Jub rules! It sounds 3D, i dont know why!
I whish ive been in that gig to drink some beers with you! Great band!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Thank You!! Yeah dude you hit that Silver with the OCD and it’s incredible!
Marshall wins, but the Friedman is a good amp.Great video, guy
Thanks!
Thank you! nice job
Very informative! Thank you! (Subscribed)
Hi there,
What speakers did you have in the cab?Great video and playing.
Thanks…
Vintage 30
@@FinalResonanceTV Thanks.
Poor Friedman couldn't be heard next to the real thing
It sounds like a ghost of a plexi floating around the stage but the jubilee is straight in your face and very present
Marshall slays the Friedman easily.
Interesting how difficult it was for you to see what settings you had on the Marshall.
The Silver Mirror Face makes it pretty hard, but it looks really cool!
You used the Friedman on a guns n' roses song? ooook....
Can u switch the jubilee to 50 watts? Great vid subbed.
We’re you running the 4 cable method with the helix or was everything in the front?
4cm
Jub set perfectly in the mix. Also seemed a tad louder?
Probley, the Friedman has more midrange cut, but you hit the Jubilee with a front end boost and it’s the best lead sound and feel of the two by a good bit!
Marshall wins easily and half the price of the overpriced Friedman which copies it anyways. Why are the drums too loud? They overpower everything you need to A/B the sound better so you hear more than just banging drums.
Renaissance Man it’s a bit of a directional thing. But he does get excited and louder once the show starts.
@@FinalResonanceTV I still take the Marshall as it is half the price and sounds as good if not better. Plus it is not trying to copy another amp. The only Friedman amp that is any good is the BE-50 or BE-100.
I like more the Small Box 50
JUbilee ftw
Love my smallbox but jubilee here
nice job make this real world demo! could be called a draw, but the marshall is 100 watts and $800 cheaper.
How did you hook up the fx? 4cable or straight in to the Marshall? Thanks
4 cable method and channel switching via my Line 6 HX Effects.
Final Resonance TV How did you get the channel switching for the Marshall to work.
Final Resonance TV Are you running green back speaker too
@@mickeyvon Through the HX Effects relay switching.
@@mickeyvon Yes that my favorite cab I have!
Expected to say Friedman but the Marshall sounds better to me in these clips
Do you use some kind of power soak on your 100w amps?
No I don't yet.
I was just wondering because I’m going to buy a 2555x! Haha
So your tone is always on point, your just running the hx effects in 4 cable method?
Haha I love Friedman. But I’m going marshall on this one.
The Silver with the Line 6 OCD Model in front was the most responsive easy to play tone I have ever had onstage. LOVE IT!!
Marshall
Is this a reissue Jubilee or the 80`s model?
what was that solo at 3:05??? Awesome playing!
Dokken- Alone Again
Thank you!@@bradleywood1499
What Channel have you used on the jubilee?
Ch 2 the gain channel.
What are the 2 songs after crazy little thing called love?
First was Alone Again by Dokken.
Love is all small box and jubille
I hate to say this. I did not dig the Friedman at all.And dude, I have a Smallbox Combo. After hemmoraging that much cash for a single combo,(to be fair the local Friedman dealer did charge me the max they figured they could get) I saw that Sweetwater had a blowout going on DSL40C's and I could have bought NINE of those for about the same price I SHOULD have picked up an old Traynor or 2 or 3 and made a devastating wet dry wet pedal platform.
lynyrddeville i understand what your saying. It’s a lot of money for sure. My Silver was $1200 on final closeout and it’s a great amp. Depends on what you prefer for eq focus.
How many watts is the Jubilee?
Marsh was more 80s, SB was more 70s. Winner: Smallbox. Sounds less cliché
ISNT THIS A 100W MARSHALL VS 50 W SMALLBOX?
its not a fair comparison! of course the 100w will outshine the 50w in a live situation, unless you are micd thru a PA system.
100 will always have a bigger, clearer sound and cut thru, than a 50.
Yes this is true. It was pretty close. Just the Marshall did this magic thing with the ocd boost for leads that made its sustain incredibly cool. The Friedman was a little less fat with that. But your correct 100w gives you that extra weight and thump
Jubilee
Which song is that at 2:50, please?
Alone Again-Dokken
I'm sure the 3 people that were there liked the marshall the best.
Haha I make a living at playing guitar 3 people or 3000! Don’t be a negative hater. It’s not like you were forced to watch lol
The sound quality of your camera at the show is so s***** you can't tell the difference. It's better in a room where you can mic get with an SM-57.
There is a video not between these two, but with that same SmallBox and A JJ micd up in my studio with outstanding 4k video. That’s a killer amp. Either is incredible, but with the boost on the front end the Marshall had an amazing level of Sustain it doesn’t have naturally.
Marshall wins...
Shocking I know!! In my mind I thought they were very even on the Rhythm Channels, but when I hit the Marshall with the OCD Boost Model! It did something so different than the SmallBox. It was the perfect sustain and feel. The Silver is a bit of a beast like an old 800 with a little more gain, but add OCD and it’s the perfect high gain lead channel!
