Nice riffing and sweet LP! The Jube is great, got one from sweetwater a couple years back when they were cheap and it’s definitely one of my favorite amps.
 
Man, great playing, tone, and video! Top notch! You make a LP and a Marshall sound just right. :rock:
 
Long time Silver jubilee owner, love mine. I have the 2553 and I must say when the 2555X's were being blown out I was tempted to snag one as well.

What amazes me about the silver jubilee is how versatile it is for such a seemly simple amp. Lots of great tones in there and ways to set it up. The cleans are very good as well and it takes gain pedals very well too. My only struggle with it is keeping the volume down. The output master really sounds great at 6 or above, which then makes the lead master volume control more touchy. So while it does sound good at low volumes, if you dial it so its easier to find the volume you want, then the tone is not as good.
 
I dig it. Actually been trying to find a used one. Everything always becomes scarce when I have money..
 
I used to have 2 of the 2555SL Jube & i sold both of them about 10 years ago & have been kicking myself ever since.

Thanks a bunch! Tough combo to beat.
 
The 2555X is definitely a great amp. I had one for a while, including the mini-version. I just didn't like the controls and how you configured the tone, always seemed a little tricky and non-intuitive with the master/input gain. Once you get used to a certain magic setting you keep it there. I used something close to Gary Holt's settings that use a tube screamer. Also didn't like with the mirrored surface how I couldn't read the labels :lol: :LOL:

I did like the extra gain available on the Jube, but I just prefer the tone of the original 800 boosted so I have stuck with that.

You're not wrong about that! I definitely found it a little confusing as far as Lead Master / Output Master. Sounds wicked though.
