Both are great amps. I have an original 1987 Silver Jubilee 25/50 pushing through a full stack, 1960 slant w/ an 800 bottom. Been loven that set up. Also love the JCM 900 combo. Awesome video.....really got the juices flowing!
I've been playing through my Quad cortex for the last 6 months with amp captures, and I'm pretty much convinced that the JCM 800 2203x and Jubilee 2555x are my dream stereo rig. They are finally back in stock at Sweetwater, so I'll picking them up after Christmas. I'll use the Quad Cortex for my Vox and Fender Reverb amps sparkly and round sounds.
Great video! Thanks man! I personally always loved using two different Marshalls at the same time… I’d love to hear the 800 left/right with the Jubilee in stereo. I use an old JTM45-100 with a Jubilee and that sounds killer 😎
I play only Marshall amps. I bought and tried other amps, but I always end back on my Marshalls. Been trying to pick up a Jubilee for a while, and they seem to be on perpetual back order. Excellent Video!
Just upgraded my LP Standard 60s with a Bare Knuckle Mule p/u in the Neck and BK Riff-Raff p/u in the Bridge with BK 550K pots and oil/paper caps. Man, that thing ROARS. I went off into a PRS rabbit hole for a year. I love my Custom 23 and McCarty 594, but I keep coming back to the Gibson LP. I'm going to pick up a R9 in the near future.
I play a 2555 exclusively. It is amazing but the speakers that come with the 4x12 can be very bright and fizzy in the high end when playing with gain or boosted. I had to split my cab up with 2 greenbacks on top and the 2 Marshall Vintage speakers on the bottom. Holy shit it was the best thing that's ever happened to my sound. It is so fierce and balanced at the same time. It may not be for everybody but if you don't like the sound of your 2555x with V30s or similar speaker, swap out and blend with something like a greenback.
Every time you switch over to the Jubilee it sounds better. It's got that little something extra in the Gain. Sounds like it would have more sustain. (On my phone)
Honestly with a good boost upfront both will do the job. I do tend to prefer the smoothness of the Jubilee for most styles. In triode mode it has a Mesa Mark vibe to me.
I still have my original jubilee, was my main gigging amp late 20 some years ago, haven't fired it up in a years though. The reissue sounds good, always wanted a JCM800, never got one though, but I do have a 78 JMP and JCM900
I've got an 800 and always wanted a silver jubilee, but there's not much in it to my ears. The 800 sounds like what I think most chasing tone wise, the jubilee sounds a bit thicker with some subtle extra good harmonic mids.
I love the sounds of both these amps a lot, and would absolutely love to own both. But if i really have to make my pick i'd take the JCM800 over the 25/50, for i think the JCM800 has more punch and attitude.
@@Crypticmaskguitar So, I am choosing between the silver jubilee and the jvm too, what can you say about them? About their pluses and minuses? I will play old thrash stuff like megadeth etc. also I can boost sil. with sd Also excellent video!
Jubilee hands down
Killer job! Sick riffage Thank you for putting the work into this for the rest of us!

Jubilee is slightly more rounder to my ears, where as the 800 is just brutal! Thanks as always for making great vids!

Holy Frick. Came to hear the toanz stayed for the tunes!

Sold! Jubilee it is. Thanks bud.

I waited something like 4-5 months for my Jubilee. Not a big fan of these supply restraints! Cheers -Ryan

Booth amps are top of the line, really awesome, but your riffs.... Fuck yeah!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
This compare is fucking nuts!! I'm devastated... Hands down... where have you been mate for such long..?😅😅😅😂😂😂

How does the 900 compare to the 2550?
They are very similar! Booth great.
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
The 2203 sounds a little more brash / in your face whereas the 2555 is a bit more polished and smooth sounding. Both sound really good.
Both killer amps... It's a 50/50 for me. Certain places the 2555x had it over the 800 and vice versa... one should own both! lol
JCM 800 for me, awesome riffing 😎
hands down

This dude is a killer player!
I used to own a silver and now I have a 800. Silver always seemed a bit more dark but fatter
James and Kirk need to give you a call
I wouldn’t mind some free tickets haha! Cheers -Ryan
Here the 2555x sounds a bit boxy compared to the 2203x
Okay, so now we need JVM vs SIL. JUB.
In good time. I just bought an ENGL Fireball 100… so I might end up focusing some videos on that amp first. Once it gets here. Cheers -Ryan

What speakers do you use?
Black Shadow C90. Cheers -Ryan
@@Crypticmaskguitar Thanks, i thing the best speaker for Marshall arr G12 Vintage made in UK, Marshall is't metal amp.
The Silver Jubilee sounds better
