I will likely own one eventually...The boosted Jubilee tones that Gary Holt gets are pretty inspiring

I love my 2553 50Watt. Been Many a challenger and still love it for what it does, which is a killer hard rock sound. I thought the Soldano HR25 might dethrone it, but I find there is room for both.
I do rarely use the rhythm clip on mine, but want to mess more with it. The jubilee is a seemingly simple amp that has a lot of tones, but like the mesa mark III you can't get them on the fly.
Like cranking up the input gain on the clean mode, is a really cool natural tube crunch

After trying just about everything I always came back to my 2555. I also like the 2203

I was looking hard at getting a Jubilee as my next amp purchase. Was looking for something that has the low mid thing similar to a Bogner Ecstasy, but a little meaner.
I was torn, because I pretty much see love or hate with people’s opinions on Jub’s. Hard to make a definitive opinion messing around with anything in a guitar store, much less a tube head (too many variables and less optimal conditions).
@scottosan made this NAD thread on the Brunetti Mercury 1. His clips pretty much put the Mercury 1 over a Jubilee to me.
It has the kind of sound I’m looking for, and the single channel with great (amazing in the clips) guitar volume knob dynamics is what I prefer anyway.
Not trying to put anyone off a Marshall Jubilee, legendary amp, that has been used by some of the greats for legendary tones. Just putting an alternative out there that has recently changed my thought process.

I had a 2555x and matching 4x12. Sounded best through the matching cab. I played it through my EVH 4X12 too but prefer the Jubilee cab. I recently sold my EVH cab because EVERY amp I played through it had a "blanket" over the amp. Add treble or presence gets unpleasant highs. It's those greenback speakers.
Trust me get a Marshall matching cab or the Marshall 1960v. The 2555x sounds best with V30s.
I sold my 2555x and matching cab plus a Bogner Goldfinger SL and matching 2x12 cab ONLY to pay a big Vet bill.

I had an 87 2555 for 20 years, and just sold it earlier this month. It was time to move on since I rarely played it, but even now I'm wondering if I made a dumb mistake selling it. I listed it high and someone hit BIN with no negotiation.
That said, it was an incredible amp. Really different from the standard Marshall, but still roared. I'm glad I spent a couple decades with it, and if you're in to that tone, they're hard to beat.

I had a Slash sig, and later a 2555x reissue with matching cab (got the 1/2 stack for $1800 new when they were blowing em out).
Didn't care for either amp enough to keep em for long.
I much preferred the JMP 2204 and Friedman JJ100 to the Jub. Even liked the Runt 50 better.
The Jub was underwhelming, not that dynamic or exciting to play.
Weird, because I love the Wizard Modern Classic, which supposedly has some Jub DNA.
