For what I play with the VM is a Jubilee rip off tone with the Vintage Modern for Slash's old live tone and the Vintage Modern Nails that Jubilee Slash Live Tone enough for my standards and my standards are very picky as I've been chasing that tone down for years!. Honestly the VM's are going to be here for a few more years and theres a whole lot more VM's than Jubilees.Finnster wrote:I am borrowing a 2550 Jubilee right now and I am really loving it. Can anyone compare the VM to this amp?
I have the opportunity to but the Jubilee for about what I can get a new VM for......
So the question is.....what are the similarities and or differences?
I am tempted to just keep the Jubilee because it has great tone and it may just end my tone chasing but this forum has peaked much curiosity for the VM.
Yea if you pull the gain knob. I dont really prefer that sound so I leave it pushed in. This way the other "channel" stays sorta clean.Mats A wrote:The Jubilee has diodes clipping in the circuit. But that must not be a bad thing. Also Slash often used a graphic EQ in the effects loop. don´t know if he still does that.
Honestly, I dont really know...sorry.Mats A wrote:But that wont take the diodes out of the ciruit or will it?
I honestly believe that is the best option for you right now :)Finnster wrote:Thanks for your thoughts. I do love this Jubilee, I have a JMD1 that I thought could replicate the tone of the Jube.....boy was I wrong!!!
The JMD is cool but the Jubilee has mojo and presence that just cuts through the mix!!! The JMD has its own thing but I am more of a "one sound" guy and use the guitar volume a lot.
I am going to buy this Jubilee and maybe one day pick up a used VM as there are some great deals to be found on those sometimes.
I was not talking about the diodes in the rectification circuit.wharris wrote:The diode rectification in this circuit is awesome. Just crank it up and enjoy. I prefer the 100W version myself as it seems to have more balls, especially in the mids and low end.
I disagree heavily.toxx wrote:The real sound of a Jubilee (or a Slash head) really hasn't much in common with the VM. but they sound very different from each other.
The clipping diodes in the pre-amp section of the circuit is what makes the circuit design of the Jub different to other Marshall amps. Bonamassa likes the pre-amp design of this Marshall. It's a bit like having a distortion/overdrive pedal already built in to the amp. Meh... I can take or leave the Jub.wharris wrote:The diode rectification in this circuit is awesome...
