NAMM 2016: Jubilee celebration


Following the success of its Silver Jubilee re-issue last year, Marshall moves on with this success in giving us the down-sized version of the fabled amp; the Mini Jubilee. At 20W, this mini can be further  attenuated to 5W of raging Marshall tones which is more than enough for many bedroom heroes out there. My concern here is price; how much would this semi-novelty amp be worth considering it's riding on the reputation of a bigger manifestation which, for want of a better term, a 'real' Jubilee reference? As it is with Marshall in this country & as far as I am concerned, any Marshall purchase would hinge primarily on price more than anything else. You can read between the lines, yes?

Marshall: Silver Jubilee 2555 reissue

Marshall has reissued its Silver Jubille amp, that stellar tone of 1987, at NAMM this year. I've heard the tone in action before- sounds very much like a polished JCM800/900 which some players would prefer (especially for those of us who crank things up for a living).
