I have had the Marshall 2525C for about 4 years, but I have also had the privilege of owning 8 other amps. I love the Jubilee. After a couple of minutes in this video, I ran into the studio and cranked the master volume and took the lead down. Thank you!
I had a jcm 800 2210. I ALWAYS played with the master on 10 and used the channel volume for levels. It sounded so much fatter that way. Rock on 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sounds good, and enjoyed the selection of demo riffs! I've always run my MV Marshalls with the MV at 8+ or more; I prefer the power amp to be a big part of the sound and feel. I rarely run pedals in front of my Marshalls, when I do it's usually an EQ pedal, for a clean boost and/or tone variation and usually with my 1959x I don't have a Jubilee or 800, my current fav Marshall is my JCM 900 SL-X 2100 100W which has more gain on tap than either; it has two foot switchable masters which I rarely use because I like the masters at 8+ which leaves little room for variations, i.e., I treat it like a one-channel amp and often run one of my EQ pedals in front. Cheers!
Great video and amazing sounds! I’ve got a 2554 1 x12 combo (sometimes into an additional extension cab) bought new around 1987 and still my go to amp today. I’ve always run it as a 2 channel with gain up so it’s about to break up for clean then Master Volume to control how loud I want it. Never needed to use the 50W setting as it goes loud enough on 25 and sounds better! After seeing this though I’m going to have a play with this master volume on 10 for the first time ever for me! I landed on the method of using the gain to as high as possible for the sound I wanted then bring up the master for the loudness required from previous amps, namely a master volume 50 (Marshall) and even my old 12 watt practice amp where the higher gain settings fattened up the tone - sounded anaemic otherwise. Anyway the jubilee obviously is different! Oh just for your information, you mentioned that it might be that the higher master volume settings hits the phase splitter harder as a possible reason for the great tone, actually this is not the case as whatever signal is going into the phase splitter dictates what comes out of the power tubes so hitting the phase splitter hard hits the speakers equally hard, it’s a direct relationship at least until the power tubes are pushed into saturation at high volume. What is actually happening is with the master volume on 10 is that you have a much lower signal coming through the preamp and tone circuit right up to the master volume pot, this increases the headroom - there’s less chance of compression as the valves in the input and tone stages are not being driven as hard. The signal out of the master volume pot into the phase splitter is then the same as it would be the other way around (hi gain lo master vol) for the same volume out of the speakers. I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for the great video!
Great demo of one of the best amps ever produced. I almost got a 50-Watt Jubilee half stack in '87 but opted for another guitar instead. A few months later I bought a JMP 100 full stack and played the Hollywood clubs with it for a couple years till I switched to a Boogie 50 Cal combo which worked better for me. I was one of the few players using a Boogie in L.A. in the late 80s, early 90s.
Wow - Dude, that's history right there! I got to play the strip a few times but it was the early 90's. Gazzarri's was my favorite! Thank you for watching!
Bought new in '88,both a 2550 and 2555 in black levant.I have always ran them in tandem mono.Signal chain in this order: gtr into 1982 dyna comp set as a slight boost,analog delay ,digital delay,A/B switcher both on,A into 100w,B out to 1982 MXR flanger into 50w.Rythm clip on,gain is dimed,bass@8,mid@3,treble @7,presence @7.I modded both heads to accept 6550/KT88 power tubes.glorious

Dude, you're killin me! I sold my Slash signature jubilee almost 20 years ago, and now you're making me think about selling my Friedman BE-100 Deluxe and get another Silver Jubilee!
@@danharding9136 it was really good but I like the BE-50 Deluxe better so I sold the 100 and kept it, but I have an attenuator anyway, so volume/power doesn't affect me
@@danharding9136 ALL amps need an attenuator if you want to open them up and really let them breathe. You will NEVER hear the full tonal potential of any amp until you can open them up. As far as the 50 goes, I just prefer 50w amps in general. They just have something to them that 100's just don't seem to have as much of. There's more low end compression and thump to them for some reason.
Great tip! I have a modded 50 watt 1987 that I go send to return of my added fx loop on my 1985 JCM 800 to get 100 watt headroom when recording in the studio.
Yep! Being doing pretty much this since I owned the original back in the day and kept doing it when I picked up one of the reissue heads. Great Playing and tone! Thanks for the video, I know that there are a ton of people sitting and trying this setting out now.
Just another killer video, thank you sir! This has become my favourite channel on youtube and while I love Marshall, I also really like how you play and set the tones. I have a studio jubilee and it's not long ago that I was playing it and using that 777 thing on it (although I set the bass on 8). Funny thing is that I did not know that this 777 is a thing with jubilee (instead I've heard about 666 settings on other amps) but it just felt like a sweet spot. On this case though I was playing at home so no cranking up took place here.
Wow! What a really cool comment - thank you so much! I hope to keep creating good content so I hope you'll keep coming back! Yeah, the '777' thing - I don't remember who it was but I recently saw some video where a guy was referencing his Marshall settings and said everything on 7 as if it were a well established 'thing' - TBH I don't know if it is or isn't but it sure should be cause it sounds great! Thank you for watching!
I have my ever so faithful 1970 Marshall major... It only sees. It has only seen Gibson basses since I bought it in 1978. The phase inverter tube is one of the keys.. I run a cooler phase inverter tube.. Besides the low noise I can actually control the impact get that ever so beautiful Marshall tone midrange prominent with detail... And I could control the initial where break up with my right hands... I always wanted a Jubilee to play my bass through it... Sounds like a nice tight air no matter what you do and you sound good thank you. Thank you❤
Yeah, best would be 2 amps. One drive, one clean. The Jubilee sounds amazing. It has that push, drive and fat tone. Especially when hitting a chord you feel and hear that massive sound behind it wanting the chord push through. Personally it sounds better to my ears without the extra pedals. The overdrive pedal may make it play more smoothly but it cuts away the fat from the meat producing a thinner sound. The Jubilee sounds good with a Les Paul but a Stratocaster works fine as well. Just set the knobs and you're good to go. It's a very versatile Marshall. If one has to choose 1 Marshall that can do it all, it would be the Jubilee in my opinion.
Ya know, I agree with ya, but with a caveat - I think, when using the pedal, had I messed with the tone knobs, dialed in a bit more low end, it would be totally Fat Albert. That said, I do like the raw grit but I also like the smoothed out feel with the EQ and EP Boost. Thank you for watching!

@@TheGuitarNerdShow I have never owned a silver juvbilee, I'm now watching a couple on reverb. quick question....do you think the mini jubilee can get somewhat close to the big boy? I have the mini 800 and that thing roars per se, but I don't have a 100 watt and or 50 watt to compare to.
Output master on 10, lead channel to taste. The Jubilee is such an amazingly responsive amp. Have the Re-issue and it is fantastic. It is silent and the EQ section is quite the best of any amplifier owned. Great effects loop and external bias points are a huge improvement over the original. Have a JVM, also a Friedman BE-100. All good amps, but the Jubilee has a bloom to it. Usually happens around six or so. Attenuate it if volume is an issue. Great amplifier and the clean channel is at least to me very good. One caveat, hard to balance the clean and dirty channels, and the chrome panel is hard to see. I use it as a single channel amp and use the guitar volume. Smidge of delay in the loop and it is glorious......
I seen this method also on some slash inspired videos on RUclips. Many guys swear by it. Using the lead master as the vol. I have the mini jube and to me personally there is not that much difference although I play on my bedroom max at 2 to that is definitely impactful on my experience 😅 At least now I know I have a plexi and a jube using it this way. That clean channel cranked sounds amazing 🤘🏻
I’ll be honest, I was totally surprised how it sounded when I jacked that MV up. The overall volume didn’t change, but the actual tone became so much more apparent! I’ll be honest, having the SV20 as well as the SC20 - I believe the gains that are had by cranking the master would be largely negated by the 29 watt power max of the studio series. I say this because that headroom that is tapped into just does not exist in the 20 watt offerings. Thank you for watching!
I had the Slash amp and this was in the time there was no RUclips. I experimented myself and discoverd that playing high gain with the Master Volume at 10 100watt setting gave me that roar and power. I could even use that setting for bedroom level microlevelling the lead volume with a 4x12 cab. But looking back perhaps 10 is a bit overdue. Maybe the sweet spot is at 3 or 4 o clock.
I run it into a Marshall SE-100 to attenuate to a reasonable volume. With a Tubescreamer in front and a GE-7 in the loop i get three gain stages plus a solo boost on all of them.
I have a modified DSL100 (JCM2000 variant). Running the clean channel cranked, it can get surprisingly close to Plexi territory, but nothing touches the original. Viva La Marshal! Thank you for watching!
I own a 2525c and use it with a power attenuator and I'm seriously considering bypassing the master volume kbob, leaving it always at 10. Sounds amazing. Thanks for the video
Great playing - great amp. Nice to hear Orion too. Definitely my next amp purchase - I’d have it now but I’m still paying off my Gibson Custom LP ! 1st world problems 😬! Love your playing & your channel Steve - Rock On 🤘🤘
The 'in the room' sound is very very similar to what you're hearing in this video. I use the mics and positioning I do because I want my guitar recordings to sound like the amp in the room. More information on that here - ruclips.net/video/lrEWBYN1Sas/видео.html Thank you for watching!
There's a noticeable difference between the 2 settings. I much preferred the JB settings. It sounded more organic to me. "Organic" is a word I tend to use a lot when describing certain amp tones which to me partially means, uncolored. I think that by turning up the master volume, you're getting the power tubes more involved in the sound. The other way, you're using more of the preamp section which, I believe on a Silver Jubilee, includes clipping diodes which colors the tone. I have an '89 JCM 800 2210 which utilizes clipping diodes like a Silver Jubilee and to keep that coloration to a minimum, I set the master volume high and the preamp (gain) volume as low as possible. But I'm a Plexi-guy...so...
Yeah i think thisbis ultimately the choice between being able to use 2 great channels, or just 1 phenomenal channel. I own an original '87 2555 Jubilee and discovered this many years ago, but I still go back and forth between both methods.
I was actually not really impressed, until you engaged OD. Then the magic started :) Great playing, man. Tryed many Marshals, JCM 800 is still my favorite. I never understood that hype around Plexi.
Thank you! I guess it’s all about what sound you’re into. I dig low gain and high gain. Plexi’s are low gain by metal standards but I love em. And with a drive pedal, they’re even more badass. I did a video on that a couple weeks ago. Check it out. I think I prefer the Xotic BB Preamp Boost. ruclips.net/video/OHk9VcN8pbk/видео.htmlsi=5VWlTReOW4289GWx Thank you for watching!
output master control must be on ten no doubt.... because it "controls the overall volume of the whole amplifier" as written in the manual, so it doesn't drive the only power section, but the preamp too.... exactly as it is in the plexi 😎🤟
Thank you! Nothing really special about the pickups, just standard Seymour Duncans. JB in the bridge, Classic Stack in the middle and Vintage Stack in the neck. Here's some more info on the guitar - ruclips.net/video/EKaUo93I9L0/видео.html
Speaking of George Lynch, would love to hear you do a tone dive on the solo playing at the end of the REH Lynch video. The solo he is playing during the ending credits is pure tone dripping!
Whew! That'd be a tough one - he's got so much drive and effects going on in that video! He bounced around so much between so many different amps - and always sounds like Lynch. What a monster!!!! Thank you for watching!
Yeppers! Sure do! playing a Jubilee since 1990!

Sounds great !!! Are you going to make captures for Tonex with that configuration ? That would be great. Thanks for your videos. Best regards from Spain.
I will be making ToneX Captures of most or all the amps in my studio (I think I'm sitting at 15 or 15 amps). I will probably do captures for Kemper and Quad Cortex first as those use their own hardware for the capture process - ToneX uses your computer & I'm on a Mac - ToneX prefers to see an NVidia graphics card. So the hope is to sell some capture packs & hopefully pick up a suitable PC so I can get cracking on ToneX Thanks for your kind words and thank you for watching!
What’s the Jubilee like for home use? I used to have the SV20 which was incredibly loud and put a volume pedal in the effects loop which acted well as a MV
That's so cool of you to say, thank you! I currently play with a cover band, it's how I earn my living. This band is splitting at the end of the year though, not sure what I'm doing after that. Thank you for watching!
Great video! (Just liked and subscribed, FYI!!) I have an ‘82 JCM 800 2x12 combo, and have messed around with a similar approach, though I have to keep the volume down most of the time due to where I live. Curious about one thing, with the master on 10, and using the preamp as the volume/gain control, will this eat up the power tubes faster than having the preamp cranked, and master set lower???
I think, but am not sure, that if the volume is similar to how you’d run it without maxing the master, tube life would be about the same. Thank you for watching!
My understanding is that at full master volume the power tubes are running at 100% all the time. You'll be getting the most headroom you can get out of that amp.
@@BradPhamok. I’ve heard that the volume from the preamp is also needed to get the power tubes working on 100%. While a master volume at 10 activates the presence part of the circuit. Does it still mean that the tubes are working 100% if you don’t slso dime the preamp?
I think how hard the power tubes are working is dependent on how much actual volume they're pushing but I could be wrong. I think your comment below is correct. Thank you for watching!
low mids are what give you that thick "throaty" lead tone. Sure, it makes Rythm a bit boxy sounding, so are you mostly playing lead or are you Nile Rogers?
LOL, Neither. Both. Sometimes? I think it depends on what amp you're putting it through. With this amp, and most Marshalls, some of those frequencies can tend to be over-emphasized, pulling 200Hz down doesn't neuter it, just brings it in line with the rest of the spectrum. But it's all a matter of opinion/taste. EVH preferred it this way. Steve Vai, on the other hand, has an abundance of low mids in his sound. It's all in what you're looking for. Thanks again for watching!
Oh yeah? I don't get that, but it does increase the hiss a bit. Is it possible there might be some kind of a ground loop happening somewhere? Thank you for watching!
Honestly I think every Marshall has to be on 10. I heard someone say once that Marshalls have two useful settings. "Ten and Off". That about sums up my experience with them as well. Cranked I think they're amazing but I don't really find them useful outside of that context. I don't gig anymore but I imagine these days if you try to take a cranked Marshall to a gig you will promptly be asked to turn down or leave. I'd leave. LOL!
A Marshall on 10 is definitely a very unique experience, no question! I think the Jubilee does sound great at lower volumes but 10 on the master is just a whole 'nuther level of amazing! Thank you for watching!
@@TheGuitarNerdShow Man I recently got a Friedman Runt 20 head and my last few RUclips Shorts have been made plugged straight into it and dude that thing ROCKS and I mean SUPER hard! I keep it on about 6 and with my Les Paul I feel like it is absolutely glorious. I'm a nerd for British tone and for years have just used an AC30 but I love my Friedman as well. You ever messed with Friedman? I think they're great amps for that slamming, old school, rock tone.
I have had the Marshall 2525C for about 4 years, but I have also had the privilege of owning 8 other amps. I love the Jubilee. After a couple of minutes in this video, I ran into the studio and cranked the master volume and took the lead down. Thank you!

I seen this method also on some slash inspired videos on RUclips. Many guys swear by it. Using the lead master as the vol. I have the mini jube and to me personally there is not that much difference although I play on my bedroom max at 2 to that is definitely impactful on my experience 😅
At least now I know I have a plexi and a jube using it this way. That clean channel cranked sounds amazing 🤘🏻
I’ll be honest, I was totally surprised how it sounded when I jacked that MV up. The overall volume didn’t change, but the actual tone became so much more apparent!
I’ll be honest, having the SV20 as well as the SC20 - I believe the gains that are had by cranking the master would be largely negated by the 29 watt power max of the studio series. I say this because that headroom that is tapped into just does not exist in the 20 watt offerings.
Thank you for watching!
I had the Slash amp and this was in the time there was no RUclips. I experimented myself and discoverd that playing high gain with the Master Volume at 10 100watt setting gave me that roar and power. I could even use that setting for bedroom level microlevelling the lead volume with a 4x12 cab. But looking back perhaps 10 is a bit overdue. Maybe the sweet spot is at 3 or 4 o clock.
@@chocolatecookie8571 You're doing it right!
I run it into a Marshall SE-100 to attenuate to a reasonable volume. With a Tubescreamer in front and a GE-7 in the loop i get three gain stages plus a solo boost on all of them.
Wow! That sounds like a great setup - I need to try that!
Thank you for watching.
I've done this with both channels of my DSL50. Gets into that Plexi territory.
I have a modified DSL100 (JCM2000 variant). Running the clean channel cranked, it can get surprisingly close to Plexi territory, but nothing touches the original. Viva La
Marshal! Thank you for watching!
I own a 2525c and use it with a power attenuator and I'm seriously considering bypassing the master volume kbob, leaving it always at 10. Sounds amazing. Thanks for the video
Yeah, that amp with the MV on 10 is something to behold! Thanks for watching!
Great playing - great amp. Nice to hear Orion too. Definitely my next amp purchase - I’d have it now but I’m still paying off my Gibson Custom LP ! 1st world problems 😬! Love your playing & your channel Steve - Rock On 🤘🤘
Hahahaha, now THAT's a problem I'd like to have!
Thank you for watching!
Wish I could hear it in the room!
The 'in the room' sound is very very similar to what you're hearing in this video. I use the mics and positioning I do because I want my guitar recordings to sound like the amp in the room. More information on that here - ruclips.net/video/lrEWBYN1Sas/видео.html
Thank you for watching!
Sounds awesome! Should have done this when i had my jube.
Maybe you’ll end up with another one someday. I promise it feels great this way too!
Thank you for watching!
There's a noticeable difference between the 2 settings. I much preferred the JB settings. It sounded more organic to me. "Organic" is a word I tend to use a lot when describing certain amp tones which to me partially means, uncolored. I think that by turning up the master volume, you're getting the power tubes more involved in the sound. The other way, you're using more of the preamp section which, I believe on a Silver Jubilee, includes clipping diodes which colors the tone. I have an '89 JCM 800 2210 which utilizes clipping diodes like a Silver Jubilee and to keep that coloration to a minimum, I set the master volume high and the preamp (gain) volume as low as possible. But I'm a Plexi-guy...so...
I get exactly what you mean! Organic is the term I’d use as well for what you’re talking about.
Thank you for watching!
Yeah i think thisbis ultimately the choice between being able to use 2 great channels, or just 1 phenomenal channel.
I own an original '87 2555 Jubilee and discovered this many years ago, but I still go back and forth between both methods.
Yes! I think it does sound better this way, but it sounds fantastic any way ya use it. Just a great amp!
Thank you for watching!
I was actually not really impressed, until you engaged OD. Then the magic started :) Great playing, man. Tryed many Marshals, JCM 800 is still my favorite. I never understood that hype around Plexi.
Thank you! I guess it’s all about what sound you’re into. I dig low gain and high gain. Plexi’s are low gain by metal standards but I love em. And with a drive pedal, they’re even more badass. I did a video on that a couple weeks ago. Check it out. I think I prefer the Xotic BB Preamp Boost.

Sounds fantastic!!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Great tone, downloaded from ToneX!!!
Greetings from Italy
Thank you! Hope you enjoy! Thank you for watching!
This sounds fantastic!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
output master control must be on ten no doubt.... because it "controls the overall volume of the whole amplifier" as written in the manual, so it doesn't drive the only power section, but the preamp too.... exactly as it is in the plexi 😎🤟
Hmmmm. I never looked at it that way but it makes sense!
Thank you for watching!
That is some insane Strat tone. please tell me your pickups! 🙏
Thank you! Nothing really special about the pickups, just standard Seymour Duncans. JB in the bridge, Classic Stack in the middle and Vintage Stack in the neck.
Here's some more info on the guitar - ruclips.net/video/EKaUo93I9L0/видео.html
Hell Yeah 🔥 Sounds fantastic
Thank you - and Thanks for watching!
Nice playing!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Nice chops man...

Welcome to boosting 101, glad to have ya
Thank you for watching!
Speaking of George Lynch, would love to hear you do a tone dive on the solo playing at the end of the REH Lynch video. The solo he is playing during the ending credits is pure tone dripping!
Whew! That'd be a tough one - he's got so much drive and effects going on in that video! He bounced around so much between so many different amps - and always sounds like Lynch. What a monster!!!!
Thank you for watching!

Wow! Thats one heck of a setup! I bet it sounds ridiculously great!
Thank you for watching!
@ Thanks 🙏 I also stack a 2203 in parallel stereo with the Jubilee in my live rig. let me know if you would like to do an episode on my live rig
Sounds great !!! Are you going to make captures for Tonex with that configuration ? That would be great. Thanks for your videos. Best regards from Spain.
I will be making ToneX Captures of most or all the amps in my studio (I think I'm sitting at 15 or 15 amps). I will probably do captures for Kemper and Quad Cortex first as those use their own hardware for the capture process - ToneX uses your computer & I'm on a Mac - ToneX prefers to see an NVidia graphics card. So the hope is to sell some capture packs & hopefully pick up a suitable PC so I can get cracking on ToneX
Thanks for your kind words and thank you for watching!
What is the Bonamassa Method? turning the master volume at 10 on the Jubilee?
I explain it in the video & where I get the correlation with Joe B but yeah, Master on ten.
Thanks for watching.
@TheGuitarNerdShow the correlation with Joe B is that the jubilee master volume set max 10 sounds like a fender amp breaking up?
…damn - sounds awesome! time to get my 2555sl out - great video and thanks
Thank you! Yes, get that thing out and make some noise!
Thank you for watching!
Great video I love my Marshall hundred w Jubilee
Thank you! I love mine too!
The tone @ 9:45 reminded me of Tom Petty “Mind With a Heart of Its Own” tone
I'd never heard that song so I had to go listen. I really dig Tom's music, what a loss!!!!
Thank you for watching!
What’s the Jubilee like for home use? I used to have the SV20 which was incredibly loud and put a volume pedal in the effects loop which acted well as a MV
Honestly, it does a great job at lower volumes. Marshall really got a lotta things right with this amp.
Thank you for watching!
@@TheGuitarNerdShow thanks for the reply. New sub from the UK
12:00 when you went into Metallica it was incredible. My LORD that was fantastic sounding.
Thank you, that's really nice of you! Thanks for watching!
Tried this with my 2555x at our last rehearsal. Blooming chords, fat leads, you hear every note. I'm not going back.
Wow! Thats fantastic - I’m glad it’s working for ya!
Thanks for telling me, and thank you for watching!!!
Love the channel! Always killer content 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Just curious do you play in a band? I would love to hear you in a band ripping it
That's so cool of you to say, thank you!
I currently play with a cover band, it's how I earn my living. This band is splitting at the end of the year though, not sure what I'm doing after that.
Thank you for watching!
This is the way slash said he set his amps.
No he sets it up the opposite way... lead master on 10, not the output master
Almost but not quite. Ref the reply to this comment from marvelharris9540
Thank you for watching!
Great video! (Just liked and subscribed, FYI!!)
I have an ‘82 JCM 800 2x12 combo, and have messed around with a similar approach, though I have to keep the volume down most of the time due to where I live. Curious about one thing, with the master on 10, and using the preamp as the volume/gain control, will this eat up the power tubes faster than having the preamp cranked, and master set lower???
I think, but am not sure, that if the volume is similar to how you’d run it without maxing the master, tube life would be about the same.
Thank you for watching!
I set mine up like slash does for his live tone... lead master on 10 and output master on 6
I didn't know he does that but it's now on my radar for sure!
Thank you for watching!
Did you put the eq and the ep booster in the fx loop?
No, they’d in front of the amp, affecting what goes into the amp. I should have been more specific in the video, my bad.
Thank you for watching!
@ appreciate it brother-glad I found your channel!!
Do the power tubes work harder with the master on full? Even at lower volumes?
My understanding is that at full master volume the power tubes are running at 100% all the time. You'll be getting the most headroom you can get out of that amp.
@@BradPhamok. I’ve heard that the volume from the preamp is also needed to get the power tubes working on 100%.
While a master volume at 10 activates the presence part of the circuit. Does it still mean that the tubes are working 100% if you don’t slso dime the preamp?
I think how hard the power tubes are working is dependent on how much actual volume they're pushing but I could be wrong. I think your comment below is correct.
Thank you for watching!
Exactly - and what a difference in feel it makes!
Thank you for watching!
Bingo!
low mids are what give you that thick "throaty" lead tone. Sure, it makes Rythm a bit boxy sounding, so are you mostly playing lead or are you Nile Rogers?
LOL, Neither. Both. Sometimes?
I think it depends on what amp you're putting it through. With this amp, and most Marshalls, some of those frequencies can tend to be over-emphasized, pulling 200Hz down doesn't neuter it, just brings it in line with the rest of the spectrum. But it's all a matter of opinion/taste. EVH preferred it this way. Steve Vai, on the other hand, has an abundance of low mids in his sound. It's all in what you're looking for.
Thanks again for watching!
I did this, it sounds ok, but there’s tons of hum, background noise.
Oh yeah? I don't get that, but it does increase the hiss a bit.
Is it possible there might be some kind of a ground loop happening somewhere?
Thank you for watching!
More Scorpions....Caribbean guy here!
Heck yeah! Love me some Scorpions!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Killer tones So awesome you played Don’t close your eyes I love that song I was rewatching that so I could figure out how to play it!🤟🏻
LOL - I love that song as well. Never get to play it with bands so I do it here 🤟🏻!
Thank you for watching!
I just throw a Klon in front of my Silver Jubilee.* Works like a charm!
*In my Fender Mustang GTX 100. Lol.
Honestly I think every Marshall has to be on 10. I heard someone say once that Marshalls have two useful settings. "Ten and Off". That about sums up my experience with them as well. Cranked I think they're amazing but I don't really find them useful outside of that context. I don't gig anymore but I imagine these days if you try to take a cranked Marshall to a gig you will promptly be asked to turn down or leave. I'd leave. LOL!
A Marshall on 10 is definitely a very unique experience, no question! I think the Jubilee does sound great at lower volumes but 10 on the master is just a whole 'nuther level of amazing!
Thank you for watching!
@@TheGuitarNerdShow Man I recently got a Friedman Runt 20 head and my last few RUclips Shorts have been made plugged straight into it and dude that thing ROCKS and I mean SUPER hard! I keep it on about 6 and with my Les Paul I feel like it is absolutely glorious. I'm a nerd for British tone and for years have just used an AC30 but I love my Friedman as well. You ever messed with Friedman? I think they're great amps for that slamming, old school, rock tone.
SKULL ☠️ YEAH HOSS 1!1!1
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Slash used these for years
Yup! He loves 'em!
Thank you for watching!
All Marshalls are supposed to be dimed all of the time! JK. Sounds great
Hahahah I wish we COULD always dime ‘em. Sounds so good that way!
