With my 2525H Mini Jubilee, only a clean boost, like Empress Buffer + Boost, or MXR CAE MC401 boost.
RAT and Klon for my 20SVH Mini Plexi, depending on the song. Set amp up with medium gain for great classic rock crunch with no pedals, it cleans up well enough with guitar volume, and it takes...
Late 70’s 2204 (50w) or 2203 (100w) seem to be favored. I have no real basis for comparison, except that my brother has an early 80’s JCM800 combo and I’ve got a ‘77 2204. They both sound great!
I recently bought the 2525H and had similar underwhemment (should be a word). When I bought the mini plexi SV20H, it was instant gratification. Same with my '77 2204. The Jube is decidedly different. My initial impression was that it sounded harsh, fizzy and the tone controls were ...
Haha! I think most of us can relate. I really like the current V-type. I bought a SV212 cab that comes loaded with these to use with an SV20H mini-plexi and my 1977 2204. The cab sounds great! And the speakers smooth out a little upper-mid shrillness without compromising articulation or...
Yeah, my brother has one that I am borrowing, and I was amazed at the sound. I rehoused my '77 2204 in a 20" Mojotone cab, and it sits nicely atop the 1933. My brother will want his back at some point, so I am searching hard!
