2558 all original.
Thanks Anand!Sounds great man, how loud are you running your Master and which Cabs ?
Normally play with Master on 7 and Lead and Input on 5 both.....for the video I just pushed it to 7 as manlike to hear this amp with higher gain too.
For me the Input Pull gives already plenty of gain , just like the character of the lead Channel better.
what kind of speakers are you using man ? Thanks !
How loud are you running the master ?
Nice collection of amps you have in your signature dude !
Thanks man and I also play with the input pushed in. Sweet amp and can’t go wrong with these settings too. Enjoy !Thanks Anand!
I run my Master and Lead volumes both around 6 and Input gain at 5 (pushed in). I like to add a bit more presence for a band situation (~7) to add some bite, and usually set bass at 8, middle at 7 and treble at 5. It sounds fat and rich and cuts through the mix like a knife. The cab is 2536 with G12 Vintage speakers.
Hahaha, Yes I can imagine …..ever been able to crank it ?Thanks mate, the master is only on about 4 in this video, I tried not to piss the neighbours off lol.

Oh yes, many times, it was my main gigging amp for about 4 years in the early 2000's.Hahaha, Yes I can imagine …..ever been able to crank it ?
Big Time !Thanks a lot my friend ! Ah Mesa……too many great amps…. I loved once my single rectifier too…..cant compare to now ….. brutal heavy beast again a very aggressive Silver jubilee which can also sound very beautiful
Here's mine, no post production, straight into my phone camera (along time ago).
Thank you very much. It's just the mic in my phone. I'm using a HOF, TC delay and a boss gate which gives it a nice bump of compression. I also have a new 2525H i will shoot some comparison videos soon. It's beautiful, just doesn't quite have the warmth of the old 2558.Great HUGE FAT tones man !! Nice RAW How did you record the sounds ...camera mic , room mic or close mic ? Thanks for posting !
I have nothing with that sort of detail sadly. Original 2558 live. Has more cut than what I am used to to cut through mix. Had her up to around 5.5 on MV. Gain full up lead channel. Much of what you hear is FOH. I am stage Left. Sounded way better and thicker on stage.
Shook the stage.
Than your signal chain is not good my friend……if we add the right things to a GOOD sounding Amp+ Cab combination, we need very little more to keep it great sounding….the old “less is more”I really like my Silver Jubilee amplifier but once you add all the effects and processing then your sound, any sound, is only 10 maybe 20% guitar amplifier tone.
But that depends on the sound you are after.
Thanks so much. I am fortunate to have found this amp.That does sound great ..
Cheers
