The best lead amp EVER? | Marshall Silver Jubilee Storytime

Born to celebrate a legacy — and then became one.
The Marshall Silver Jubilee was meant to mark 25 years of Marshall and 50 years of Jim Marshall in the music business. Instead, it became a high-gain icon.

In this episode, Kārlis walks you through the story of the 2555 model — its JCM800 roots, its evolution, and why this limited edition amp found its way into the rigs of legends like Slash, Joe Bonamassa, John Frusciante, Thomas DeLonge, Matthew Bellamy, and more.

🔍 What’s inside:
– What makes the Silver Jubilee so different from a JCM800
– Why it nails both sparkling cleans and singing leads
– How EQ shaping makes this one of the most versatile Marshalls ever
– Our mic setup and custom IRs from vintage 1960A, 1980B, and Mesa 4x12 V30 cabs
– How we captured 47 DI profiles for ToneX and Quad Cortex
