Marshall Silver Jubilee

I would say the 2555x hangs right in there with my 2204 and 2203.

I've had 10 originals, and 1 2555x. The X is very close to the originals. Only difference is at high vol, where the OG does sound a bit better. The RI can also take any quad, or 2 different pairs of octal power tubes. 2 EL34s with 2 KT 88, 2 6L6 with 2 6550s, etc etc. Like Jeff said, they have more of an emphasis on the lower mids BUT can still bring the upper mid KERRANG when dialed brighter. The EQ is VERY responsive, almost like an active eq vs a typical Marshall eq response. A very good clean, as well with a nice loop.
Great amps...boosted, one particular 2554 combo I had was as good as a Cameron 2203 I had at the time.

I still have your 2554 combo and can confirm I can get this dialed in pretty close to my cameron. Analogman modded ge7 sounds great w the 2554 combo!

It's one of the more popular Marshalls from what I've seen, probably just behind JCM 800. I'd go with the reissue, if you like it, well enough you could always sell it and get the original.

Yes Marshall Silver Jubilee are very versatile. Just ask Slash & Joe bonamassa, plus it does quite heavy metal tones as well..Scott ian & Gary holt love them..I've had a few original 1987 silver Jubilee heads.but i prefer the reissue the effects loop is much better.

Gary Holt's boosted Jubilee tones are killer!!!
