Marshall Reverse Jubilee 20W 1x12 Combo
Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall Reverse Jubilee 20W 1x12 Combo is a variant of the Studio Jubilee, the 20-watt reissue line built around the 1987 Silver Jubilee circuit. Reverse Jubilee refers to an inverted colour scheme relative to the standard silver-on-black Jubilee cosmetics. The underlying circuit is the Jubilee's diode-clipping rhythm-clip stage feeding a tube preamp, giving the compressed, singing lead character that distinguishes it from Plexi and JCM800 voicings, with EL34 output tubes and switchable lower-power operation. This entry has no verified product listing attached, so buyers should confirm the exact specification with the seller.
What stands out
“A smooth, midrange-rich voice running from thick rhythm crunch to a singing, saturated lead with effortless sustain, faithfully capturing the diode-clipping Jubilee character at 20 watts”
