Marshall Studio Jubilee 2525C 20W 1x10 Combo
Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall Studio Jubilee 2525C is the 1x12 combo version of the 20-watt Silver Jubilee reissue, EL34-powered with preamp circuitry drawn from the 2555X and built from the original 1987 diagrams. Like the head it carries the Jubilee's diode-clipping rhythm-clip stage feeding the tube preamp, producing the compressed, singing character that distinguishes the circuit from both Plexi and JCM800 voicings. The twelve-inch speaker gives it more body than the 1x10 combos elsewhere in the Studio series, and power switches down to 5 watts. It suits blues rock and hard rock players who want the Jubilee lead sound in a single portable box.
