2525 Jubilee Review from Andertons

[GibsonKramer]

Looks like I'm going with a Cornford Harlequin. The guy who sold me my LP Custom has one up for sale.

That's a sweet sounding amp! Definitely Marshall crunchiness sweetness in that voicing.

I just learned that little riff (not anywhere as good) and it sounds like a Marshall. Playing it on my Custom to.

I thought the amps were 5/20 watts? They were referring to them as 25/50 watts.

I don't know why the faceplate says 25/50 when they aren't. Makes no sense...

My sloppy playing on the left channel. You can definitely hear me. Wanted to see how close his tone was, and I still say it sounds like a Marshall.

I'm playing my LPC and 2553 through the 1960AV. You can hear that Marshall ring, chime and crunch in his amp though. Especially on that open G.

Thin Lizzy'ish and a 2553

Are you talking about the 2550? The 2550 is a 25/50 watt amplifier... The amp in the Anderton's clip is a 2525, is it not?

What's odd, is the 2555 is 50/100 watts... Why didn't they call it a ?

Sounds great!

Decided against the Cornford Harlequin. I want something with two channels, and a loop.

The head thru a 4x12 sounds rather good.

Not excited at all about the combo, though. Sounds somewhat one-dimensional and cardboardy, IMO.

Went to SA and GC today... Tried the Fender Bassbreaker 007 and 15 watt combos, Orange, Marshall DSL15H, VOX AC15 and AC10. In the end, I left with the VOX AC10. The Fender BB 15 watt was a close second, and I may still get one. The 007 had that immediacy you expect from a single-end Class A circuit. They are all good sounding amps, but the VOX just has that unmistakable character that can only be had from a VOX. 10 seconds into playing the AC10, and I knew this was the amp for me.

UPDATE:
Taking the AC10 back to GC. I can't max-it-out without getting crackling through the speaker. I'll be placing a deposit on a Marshall 2525, if possible.

Question... Why do some amplifiers sound great in the store, but sound bad when you get it home?

 

[ricksteruk]

Dagnabbit now I want one of these machines even more!

 

[SlyStrat]

I have a Mini combo ordered. June or July arrival.

 

[Shazbot]

Anyone know what the cab on the combo is made of??

 

[BanditPanda]

That combo sounded great ! Seeing as I just got the DSL40C I sure as heck won't be dropping big bucks on that Jube so I'm hoping that the 40DSL will get me close.

 

[SlyStrat]

I like my DSL40C but want a smaller, lighter package. And the Jube will give me more what I want in tone.

As a former owner of 3 Jubilees (2554,2553,2550) I really want this combo. I don't gig much anymore, at least not on guitar. The price is the only thing from keeping me from buying the combo (recently laid off from work). I'll find a way to buy one though, LOL.

 

[Sound Of A Gun]

Not to put anyone off the combo, but the guy I play and record guitar with has sent back two of the combos to Anderton's due to rattling/vibrations coming out of the cab when it is on clean. It kind of sound like tube rattle, but everything is seated properly, the cab is well built etc. I can understand a one off, but both combos have had the exact same problem.
