Silver jubilee all day long in both channels

Just got my JTM ST20C..it sounds like a dream! Just PERFECT cleans! Thank you Marshall🙏🏻

[peppersissy]

I just completed my acquisition of all the studio series amps with my new JTM. All have the two speaker vertical cabs and all are heads except the Classic which is a combo, making it a three-speaker system. I love them all. I use the Solodallas Schaffer Replica EX towers and Storm as the only add on to the amps. They all sound fantastic and cover the range from vintage classic rock (JTM and Vintage) to hard rock and metal (Classic and Jubilee). The Jubilee to me is an amped up version of the Classic with some more fun options. My biggest passion is nailing the classic AC/DC Angus and Malcolm Young sound. When I got the Vintage I thought I pretty much nailed it. That is until I got the JTM. That amp is spot on and gets me right where I want to be. With the JTM, the tower and a Gibson SG, it's as close as you can get. Now if I only had the chops...

Such beautiful clean tones on the Studio Vintage!

Amazing series of amps. Marshall really outdid themselves here.
I have the SC20H and matching 2x12 cab. Combined with a les paul you can rock through all of the decades.
That's the amp I played last time I played guitar. That's also the amp that I'll be playing tomorrow.

Classic Tones Must Live Forever! Love the sound of the JCM800 Studio in this video... Keep On Rocking!.

[masteryoda]

All great amps, I’ve got both the SV20H and Silver Jubilee, they produce some very sweet classic rock tones.

Nice comparison and they all sound great with the JTM and Vintage sounding more similar to each other and the Classic and Jubilee sounding more similar to each other...no surprise there. A lot of people underestimate the effect that the speaker choice has on their sound and it's interesting that Marshall chose to use a 1960BX cab that's loaded with Greenbacks for this comparison since they don't use Greenbacks in any of their Studio Series cabs. In my opinion, Greenbacks are inline with the JTM and Vintage style amps while speakers such as the G12-65's or T75's would be more inline with the Classic and Jubilee style amps. The differences would be more profound.

Love seeing the Vintage modern back there 🥲

[Mr.Goldbar]

All of them sound so good in the cleans! I'd pick the Studio Classic for the dirt :)

[TheSoulsandRevive]

Great video comparison! Love the SV20H! Cheers

[truthfactreality]

Would love to see Marshall do what Friedman just did with the IR-X. I would get al the class Marshall amps if they did

[KeysMcGhee]

Great series of amps. Personal favourite is the vintage for my music, but they all sound amazing, and are affordable. Well done Marshall.

[StratsRUs]

They are all great. I have the SV20H and an original Silver Jube combo from 1987.
I will get the SC20H next.

[beerwolf]

I have the SC20 and SV20. The JTM looks very cool. I like the softer drive that comes out of it (I'm mostly understanding that this is from the tube rectifier?). I'd like to grab one of those, too at some time. These Marshalls are pretty expensive in the USA.

[edwardjons]

The JTM is radically different (and sounds great), its tweed-like ancestry is impossible to miss, whereas the other three are all variations on the same sound. For myself, the SV is best - I prefer a lower gain amp that I can manipulate with an overdrive or boost. That said I’m sure the Classic and Jubilee have plenty of range in the gain. That said, I guess the Jubilee and Classic have a tighter low end than the Vintage?

[rflessati]

Thats entertainment for me. Great video. 800 dirty glorious rock tone. Jtm clean is beautiful

[mkbmkbmkb]

As a mini jubilee owner, I actually liked the Classic the best. But having 2 footswitchable channels makes the Jubilee more versatile

[benallmark]

I’d love to hear / see this same demo with the combo’s.

[irf]

All sound great ... or as alternative ... get a JVM50 and get all these sounds with master controls, 2 EQ, res/pres, multiple channels and reverb + 4 button foot switch. PS: and adjustable bias per tube if you need it.
