MARSHALL 2555 Jubilee and why I should buy one.

[JCMRobbo]

I have some money I have saved. I’ve got a 96 JCM900 I love it but I’d like somthing else to add to my Marshall collection. I also have a 80s JCM800 combo in my collection.
I’m torn between the Jubilee or the 1987x they’re both mega! Lovely sounds. I play hard rock, GNR, ACDC, Crüe but love the heavy thump the 900 has on its low end (well mine does!)

marshal 2555 is £899 now in the UK in some places where the 87x £1.199.

let the debate begin.

you can still get the 2555x then? . and that is a lot of amp for that money

 

[Geeze]

I have both - the 2555x is a very versatile Marshall with amazing cleans and a wide variety of OD tones and a good MV. The 1987X is a rawer raunchier amp that needs volume to sound it's best - I use pedals to tone shape at lower volumes.

I have the 2525 and I love it. Fantastic tones. The 1987x is cool too on the account that it's just completely bad-ass.

Answer: Both. 2525 first though.

Doooo eeet!
The world is going off the rails. Treat yourself.

Yes, get one while you can. I'm always afraid that they won't be available again. You need to special order the 100 watt in the US now. I should have got one when they were unloading them a few years ago. At the time I had just gotten the 20 watt one. This was based on my experience gigging where a 20 watt amp is usually much more welcome than a 100 watt one. I needed a lower watt Jubilee. And I already have a 50 watt original so I didn't absolutely need the 100 watt version.

Thanks guys great feedback! Fingers a twitching! The only one problem I have is I live in a flat/apartment and I can’t play at badass levels of volume and since this CV19 is here I wouldn’t be able to play either at the required volume without being A) evicted or B) deaf

 

[slide222]

maybe an acoustic then if you want a home, for the near future

Kemper.
Then you can have all teh Marshalls at Home volumes

 

[Filipe Soares]

why you should buy one: because new amp day.

It is a nice change of tone from your other amps. Soumds good at lower levels too.

I own a 1990 Jubilee 2555 and a 1987XL. Both are keepers and fantastic. If you need a Master Volume, go with the Jubilee. It is a versatile amp and the EQ is very responsive. The 1987XL is loud and the Plexi tone. Not as versatile and definitely not a home use amp. I only use mine to record and now that I have the Suhr Reactive Load IR, I can use it now through my stereo monitors. Just depends on what you're looking for. Both are fantastic.

Me too!!

which do you use for quiet apartment jamming??

 

[El Gringo]

I would advise you to jump on that price and get your self a 2555X , you will instantly bond with this amp as I have 2 of them and love them so much and have the matching cabs loaded with the Marshall Branded Vintage 30's . The sound and tone is righteous and really a great low end and mid range beast , that together with a humbucker loaded guitar is nothing short of perfection and tonal Nirvana .

Don’t. It’s a slippery slope to playing in bars with hookers and blow or tigers and meth. Whatever suits your desire.

So I don’t actually have AX, I’ve got Kemper stage, but same idea.
