Here is what Marshall says about the Silver Jubilee
The dual channels on the Silver Jubilee 2555X Vintage Reissue Head offer an extended variety of tones and sounds. Each channel is customisable, allowing for distinct settings. Switching between the two channels is done seamlessly and with ease. This adaptability proves particularly helpful when exploring diverse genres of music.
POWER REDUCTION FROM 100W TO 50W AT THE FLICK OF A SWITCH
The Silver Jubilee Vintage Reissue Head gives you the flexibility to determine your preferred power level. Select between 100W and 50W power output with a simple switch, the ideal feature for transitioning effortlessly between the rehearsal room and the living room. Where you decide to take the stage is up to you.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

I just got the 20w head last week. No regrets here, it sounds great.
I love Marshall clean tones, anyone else agree? and Yes - Marshall Silver Jubilee is a great amp for sure.
Watch into the blues he likes his Marshall DSL 40 and he’s a Blues guy not traditional
I do too.
Yup. Far more than any other.
No.
I think my studio vintage and my jcm800 both have incredible cleans. Especially the 800. It’s the perfect amp.
I’ve played the Mini Silver Jubilee in a store and find it to be my favourite of the newer mini Marshall’s. It rocks and can get dialed in at low volumes also which I find the others can’t really do.
I have a 77 jmp, and the clean on low sensitivity is a beautiful sound.
Silver Jubilee is the true king of tone! 🤘🎸🔥
I used to own a 50 watt original (2553) with two matching cabs. An absolutely amazing amp that sounded awesome on every level. I've missed it for years, and wish I hadn't have sold it, but recently picked up the 25 watt combo version (reissue) and absolutely love it! The jubilee really is the greatest Marshall ever made!
Very cool!
I have the original 50 W head, too. I just love it - the only sound I don’t find useful is the solo channel. Cleans and crunch are just great. There is a design flaw that is easy to fix - the main transformer is inducing hum that can be quenched by simply turning it around by 180 dgrees. I had this done recently.
Great tip
@@TheStudioRatsI wonder if they fixed this flaw in the reissued models? The 50 Hz hum is very noticeable in the original ones at low volume.
Sounds great! Love that driven tone and the clean sounds good in this video.
Love Marshall so much I bought two 🔊🔊🎸🔊🔊. 🔊🔊🎸🔊🔊
Great video. Thanks, fellas.
Glad you enjoyed it
I own one myself and completely agree. Slash, RHCP and Bonamassa in one amp 🎉
Its a great sounding amplifier, even the new Studio models sound good
For me….. the most hugely under rated Marshall is the Vintage Modern, Ive got a 2266C (actually selling it as we speak)
If you haven’t already, check that amp out
I had a jcm slash years ago, recently got the 2525h with a 2x12 and cant get enough of it. Sounds better than the old slash model as i can actually crank it.
Sounds great. Exactly the tone I'm after.
What a tone and vibe, before how good the amp may sound!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👋🏼
My favorite Marshall, especially my 2558 2x12 combo.
I love my 2525H especially when paired with a V30 and a Creamback. It took me a while to find a good pedal to boost it with but my Friedman Golden Pearl and klon style pedals like the MXR Sugar drive seem to go well with this amp.
I had the little 2525H one of these, but gave it to my nephew. I found it likes a Tubescreamer best. Most folks like a SD1 with that era of Marshall, but the TS works better with this one I find, perhaps because the EQ response of this amp is different to the 2203.
Jubilee curcuit? It is a bit different to a JCM 800 2203/2204. Both of those have what's called a cathode follower feeding the tone stack. The Silver Jubilee does not (V2B's anode feeds the tone stack instead, which I figure would result in a stronger signal going to the tone stack, which might explain why the Jubilee's tone controls seem to do more than something like a Plexi).
The diode clipping is out of the circuit unless activated. It's not a FET based boost, because there is no gain added by it, i.e., it's not an extra stage of amplification (gain is the factor by which a stage of amplification increases the strength of the signal -- which results in clipping that signal if gain exceeds the clean headroom of the gain stage; whereas using diodes is another method of clipping a signal that does not rely on increasing the gain). It's just a diode clipping thing that clips any signal peaks over a certain voltage, which is why there's a slight volume drop when the clipping is enabled -- the result is less gain but more distortion. The Jose mod thing in a way.
P.S. Some of the modders do add a FET based boost to an amp and it's usually in front of the first valve/tube. Why not just use a boost pedal though? The boost in the amps runs at higher voltage, so has moar knackers. It's an alternative to putting an extra ECC83/12AX7 in front of the V1, which is another type of Jose mod (from memory Marshall did that mod with the JCM 900 SLX).
im glad theres a studio version of this thing, but i wish there was a studio super bass...
Sign me up the day that comes!
Finally. I have this amp. It’s epic !! Use a strat into clean channel with the pull pot and it’s instant Frusciante “clean”
In 1987 I was 19 and purchased the 50W version (2550) with the matching silver cab for $1200 US. Helped fund the purchase by selling a JCM 800 combo I had. Fortunately, I kept it all these years in my home and never gigged it. The head and cab are both in pristine condition and still sounds incredible. My favorite Marshall.
Nice!
I’m definitely buying the jubilee mini combo. The head is killer though. Nice video - cheers fellas🤘👍
I went with the head and a 2x12 cab. I've heard many people say they're not a fan of the 1x12 combo because it sounds very boxy.
I have one, sounds killer!
As others, I thought it sounded a bit boxy (at least with low volumes).
So I changed the rear panel.
Now its birch ply with the opportunity to play open or "closed" back. That fixed it!
One of my secret buys in the last ten years was a $1500 Randy Rhoads Silver Jubilee. It’s an amazing amp. Cheers.
Paul, your Studio Jubilee head video helped to persuade me to get one. £550 used, mint, bargain! And it's inspired so many phat riffs since... Just plug a great guitar straight in, Mesa EQ, Flashback 2 delay in the loop. Awesome. Btw it looks like you kept the clipping pull out for most of the video? I usually prefer this setting.
£550, what a bargain!
Honestly your videos are some of the best out there. Your gear, guitar and comparisons are technically and tonally something I watch to get good, honest advice. Plus you’re a heck of a player. Keep em coming. I especially loved the original 59 LP episode. You can really hear the difference. Thanks. Marshalls will always be one of the top amps in my books. I’m really enjoying my Supro Delta King 12 though. Nice small amp. Not sure if you’ve checked them out. So many videos I may have missed it.
Cheers Richard that’s greatly appreciated
Bought one yesterday used with a 1987 matching 4x12
My favorite Marshall too!
love my 2525h ❤
You should have way less input gain 3:00 than that if u want clean. Also cranking the eq for clean is a nono imho. My favorite clean tone is the marshall. The jcm800 has my favorite cleans, and the jub has it too, u just gotta use way less input gain knob. Take OFF the input clipping mode , go 12 oclock with the eq and input gain like 1 to 4 max. There u go. cleans now ;D
Incredible tone and huge piece of Marshall history for not a lot of money! I am glad I have one... and in custom black/silver snakeskin 😎 It just rocks your socks off!🤘
Nice!
its a pentonde/triode switch. so yes, it is different
Sounds great! Now, make comparison video with this one and the studio one; very curious how you see them comparing to one another. I have the 2525 studio combo and a 1987X, love both of them. In case you really decide to make that comparison video; try BB preamp, SD-1 and treble booster pedals in front. I like to cut jubilee treble and add some with a rangemaster, if that is too much then those two other options offer a little different way to that.
Marshalls, and Silver Jubilee specifically, provide amazing clean tones, you just need to know how to dial it in! A volume pot on the guitar makes all the difference…
I bought a 25/50 used in 1989, a shiny silver halfstack. I think it was the best amp I ever had. Get a Rat Pedal for lead and you're ready for any hair band
These are great amps
Would love to hear a more rhythm guitar on this channel. Just straight up rhythm riffs please and thank you!
Great demo guys. I'm feeling it needs a pointy dayglo floydy axe.
Oh yeah
It’s a beauty.
The silver jubilee is an awesome amp...
I have a black 2550 50watt..
Mines a 25/50 watt version...
Have both, 2555x and 2525😁
Kind of sounds like the mids are a bit different than your typical Marshall? Almost like there’s a tubescreamer being ran in the front. Definitely sounds better in 50 watt mode.
The rhythm clip know also works on the lead channel. To my ears, it sounds better with the knob pushed in (rhythm clip off). Less compression and a bit more bottom end. The low power switch is a pentode/triode option. Superb amp although the newer ones with the Vietnamese output transformers do sound a bit different to the ones with the Dagnall's from a few years ago. Great amps though. Love mine.
thanks for the tip.
The third switch is pentode/triode switxh..
And the 900 series shared same thing, diodes are making the distortion, except 900 SLX which had extra tube doing the same job.
Pretty much. To elaborate, the 900 DR, it is one tube gain stage, then Op-amps +some diodes. SLX is indeed all tube. 900 mkIII is 3 tube stages (like a 2203) + diodes you can blend in/out. The Silver Jube is also 3 tube gain stages like a 2203, but the diodes are always in circuit.
jcm800 with EL34s is the great sound of hard rock In UK
I got the origin50 head it sounds pretty good and it has a pull pot.
Nice
Awesome demo for a stonking amp, I couldn't afford one when they came out, you opened a deep wound, LOL, Cheers, Rats ❤
Cheers Nabbs
I bought one of these brand new in 1987,with two of the matching G12 Vintage cabs(V30’s) which were new at the time….still have it all these years later…the Jubilee is one of the most unique amps Marshall ever made..although it’s based on the 800,it is actually quite different. It’s fatter,darker than a 2203/4,and the plate driven tone stack was very different from what Marshall had done up until this amp..I don’t necessarily think it’s the best amp they ever made,but it’s really good….I actually like the 20 watt version a bit better than the 100’s..Cool amps nonetheless..
My favorite Marshall is the JVM.. 50 or 100 watt.
Fender's The Twin has a 3 switch power on the front. On, standby and hi/low
yes it has.
You guys use so much digital processing, that everything sounds exactly the same, great but the same, any guitar, any amp, same tone. Well done.
Im trying to use more digital processing so it sounds even more digital. Im thinking of just swithing over to a ZOOM unit from the 90's
That’s the 2555X Jubilee reissue you’re demoing right?
I have the same and love it! I was always curious if there are and differences from an original to the reissue. It’s supposed to be the exact same circuit. Do you guys know?
Great video, thanks
That is correct
Great video ! Thanks for sharing! How do you compare this one with JCM Slash model ? Not the AFD…
Its essentially the same
the jcm slash might be a bit more twangy from what i've heard from other players and youtube. But i think if u just add a bit more treble/presense/mid etc then u might on the Slash model, u should be in the same tone. Id buy the slash if u can , harder to find and 3/4 times the price of the reissue(at least in europe). Also from what i've heard the AFD is not as great as the JCM Slash, but that can also be a different opinion for different folks :D
Jubilee is definitely the best Marshall that they currently produce; however, I put the Jubilee 2nd if you count past releases to the Marshall AFD.
As the owner of a Silver Jubilee, I disagree. It's great, but the gain is a bit fizzy. I'm primarily a strat guy and so that little extra oomph the Jubilee provides compliments single coils really well. But if I used a Les Paul it would be a 1959 or 1987 all the way.
As a former jubilee owner, I 100% agree with you.
I have the 20w Silver Jubilee and its amazing... I have it with the 2x12 vertical cab...
Paul, Im a bit surprised you dont think Marshall's are known for their cleans...the JTM45 clean is probably the best clean of all (certainly for me)
I think you guys missed a trick not talking about the EQ on that amp. Radically different to pretty much every other Marshall and properly useful - the mid control in particular gives the amp a completely different character depending on whether it's above or below noon.
Fabulous amps ..
yeah they had the eqs all on 10 except presence...i don't do that on mine
@@sollyharr It's not that their settings weren't cool - it sounded great .. but that amp was unique in being a Marshall where the tone controls really did something .. I've used all sorts of settings on those amps precisely cos they work so well ..
@@TheActressAndBishop yes I know I have one..
Oh Hale Yeah! CRANK IT!!!!
By the way Paul, have you seen the new Laney Loudpedal pedalboard amps? I'm quitte intrigued by how they will fair in comparisson to other DI pre-amp solutions since they are solid state.
Yes I have, I didnt realise they were all solid state. Are there no valves at all in the preamp?
I think it would be cool to see if you could get a similar tone out of the new boss Katana. How close can you get?
That’s a great idea for a video
Do a TONEX capture mate. It will help many players with financial difficulties.
we have, its on our website.
This a Plexi with more gain, not an 800...
And it's a 4 channel amp, but footswitch connecting possibilities only as a 2 channel.
What P'ups are in the LP Standard please?
Bought one 10 years ago for $1000 new on an overstock. Might be time to finally plug it in. LOL
Well, I had all Marshalls from the early beginnings up until the Jubilee and really think it isn’t on par. It was the worst of the bunch and the last Marshall I ever bought. Can’t hold a candle to a JCM 800, that’s for shure. I started using vintage Fender Tweeds and Blackface and HIWATTs with pedals in front onwards
If you can get an original, or even the 90s Slash signature version, yes, they’re the best Marshall ever.
The reissues don’t quite sound the same IMO. Still great, but not quite as good.
My quest for amps ended with the Jubilee. Unlike my pedal and guitar quest…
This video does no justice in how they sound. They sound great in person through a Marshall 412 cab.
Marshall jubilee vs lexrust omega amp 50 watt
I’ll take my original 68 JTM 45.
Meh you must have meant the JVM. I can still hear that fizz you can never dial out of these.
Tasty!
We Need another vid with Strat Tones !! 😅
yes we do,
@@TheStudioRats awesome!
Rush !!!!!!
Who can help with the name of the song he' playing @9:15? I can't think it!
Tie Your Mother Down - Queen.
Asking about the cleans on a Marshall is like asking about the backseat of an Italian sports car.
that is just about the dumbest thing anyone has ever said..congratulations..do some research before you play know it all..
I have an original 1987 Jubilee 100 W Stack....mint condition. I used to live in the country and could crank it, there is nothing like it!
Nice!
Is this the reissue?
it is.
bass middle and treble full up? wth?
You are now obligated to do the best Fender amp. Good luck.
i actually like 900s
so do I
Simply yes❤😂
Since you do those amp captures, you should review Laney LFR-412, no one has done review yet, at least i haven't found one yet. Perhaps Laney loans one for you.
Yes there is smaller Laney FR speakers, and other manufacturers, but this one should be epic.
I wonder is it loud enough? 🙂 ruclips.net/video/wUDKOeUM6uI/видео.html
I dont think Laney would send us one. we have been quite vocal about it.😬
Awesome sound for sure but a bold claim given Marshall's history. It's all subjective.
It is subjective.
sounds like the dog's bollocks to me.
Definitely not the best. To me a JCM800 is just too iconic and definitely has ‘that’ sound more than a jubilee
Gibson through a Marshall = Instant Boner
Great news, partner not working for you any more?
🍆
@@jonholland6067 swinging with a Tele through a Fender
Overrated and overhyped. When you get the opportunity to A\B a Jubilee with a Marshall 2203, the Jube sounds like a Distortion pedal. It lacks the authority and mid range punch. It’s no surprise to me that since they reissued this ‘holy grail Marshall’, it has not found its way into many Pro-Rigs.
Joe Bonamassa wouldn't agree with you.
@@TheStudioRats To be fair though, he blends that with other amps, I don’t think he uses a Jubilee as a main sound for anything (maybe for solos sometimes).

U fell off
Im afraid I Don’t understand your comment
@TheStudioRats I think the joke is you didn't immediately have a bunch of views as soon as the video went live so your popularity must be slipping. But in a friendly tongue-in-cheek way.
The clipping board circuit within it has ruined it completely, sounded more like a modeller or tonex copy as usual was all.
