Played a Silver Jubilee reissue this weekend....

[Racerxrated]

Talking amps on an amp forum who woulda thought.

Carry on.

BTW Engineer Santiago Alvarez who ive had the pleasure of chatting with the last few years and helped me decide to use Mr. Friedmans services has left Marshall.

He designed the JVM, YJM & AFD among other things.


Look for no vision other than sunglasses, cell phones & mini fridges from Marshall UK.

I would love to buy a Marshall amp thats worth a shit .... really.

Make one and i'll buy it.

Jubilee is a better tone to me than any compressed Friedman I've played, and a shit ton better than the 2 Friedman modded Marshalls I've owned. The Dirty Shirley is the only amp I've played that compares to a good Marshall for the tone I like. And they are way too much cash. Ymmv, tone is subjective. But for the cost of a Friedman new I can have used Wizard, or buy a new Jubilee and have 2 grand left over. And sound better imo. Lol

My Marshalls are already Marshalls so ...


I have Wizard GAS but really can't justify the expense cuz i already have great amps.

For 4K id rather have a Custom Shop Les Paul.

I had a blast comparing a Jub Reissue to a Smallbox a while back. The Jub held its own and then some.

Played a DS, liked it. But not more than a boosted Jubilee. Havent tried the RI but I hear the bias needs adjusting. The originals I've had easily measure up to any Friedman I've tried, with a boost in front. I've played a BE, SB, JJ, DS. All are nice. But the Jubilee is half the price. Unless there's a huge difference between original/RI it's no contest. Marshall ftw.

The volume of the amp was the biggest surprise to me. I was in the "high end" room of the GC and I was able to turn it up 3/4 of the way open and the amp wasn't loud at all. Definitely wouldn't have kept up with a drummer at that volume. I played an EVH lunchbox and it destroyed it in every category , including volume! Maybe I got a bad egg with that particular Jube

The volume thing matches my experience. At band practice, I think I run it at 7.

And I was underwhelmed to say the least. The Dirty Shirley right next to it on the other hand was KILLER!!! I had never played one before and it rips. Has a lot more gain than I expected. I have yet to play a Friedman that wasnt awesome

Agreed on both!
