It'll do anything you want, with a boost or two. Easily hard rock, metal it depends on the boost pedals used but I've been able to get EVH 5153 gain levels easily and that's a pretty well known metal amp.nigelpkay":12tzd8ah said:Holy shit, that's awesome tone right there. Is Jubilee really a "lead players" amp?
I.e. Too warm, dark, bassy for good hard rock/metal rhythm playing?

Just goes to show how versatile the amp is. I get much more high end sheen out of mine but all of the eq controls are drastically effective that you can get a lot of variation just by tweaking the mid knob a bit.
I have a few nice amps and the Jube is my go-to for great classic rock, blues, almost high gain territory.
I need to decide on a better cab now.
New they were 1899, and I think they went down to around 1200? Now, I see them used for at least that.....2555 that is. You can still get the 25w head/combo new. But not the 100w version.littleguitars":gqi16ide said:glassjaw7":gqi16ide said:The 2555x is just killer! I bought one last year when the prices dropped and don't regret it one bit.

I remember people talking about a price drop on these, but it was a while ago and I can't remember the specifics. Can someone fill me in. How much did the 2555x amps retail for when they first became available? And how much were dealers discounting them towards the end?

For sure boosted. Jubes have just a bit more gain than a JCM 800 2203/4.Badronald":pr96gtnm said:Think it sounds good. Hard to tell with all that reverb.
He also seems to be fiddling with pedals. Must be some kind of boost going on.
