Re: What speaker are you using in your DSL40C?

Sweetwater has new DSL40CTs for $699 with a Celestion Creamback 65 stock. I just bought one and I am starting to really love this little amp. It is most certainly voiced like a Marshall. I will hit certain notes and smile because it has the same familiar tone I have heard on records. I was noodling ...

Re: NAD 2555x will be here tomorrow.

How does the new Jubilee sound at lower volume levels and how does the 50 watt mode sound?

Re: Boost Mod?

It seems to be a recurrent discussion. Although it's named "Boost" that function on the YJM isn't a Booster effect at all. Also it isn't an overdrive. It's a distortion effect, more exactly a recreation of the DOD250 distortion pedal. That is the one YJM likes and uses. For some players it isn't a ...

Re: 2555x Demo from NAMM

I have already read a few post by guys who currently own Jubilees and checked out the reissue at Namm. They all said they realized their amps must need service because they did not sound as good as the reissue did. This is going to be a long wait for the new Jubes to start shipping. :drool

Re: 2555x Demo from NAMM

Ok, I rephrase... instead of "nobody" I should have said "most of the users don't read the handbook" which is a fact. I'm sure the intention of the original wording was clear but it seems that one needs to be extremely careful with the wording here. I better keep quiet then. We GREATLY appreciate h...

Re: 2555x Demo from NAMM

Not that it will affect my decision to purchase a 2555X, but does anyone know if you can toggle between the Clean/Crunch functions with the footswitch? I remember my old Jubilee just had a footswitch to change channels. I stayed on the lead channel most of the time.

Re: 2555x Demo from NAMM

I am one of the guys who was asking for a Jubilee reissue and I will be one of the guys buying one. With a street price of $1899 Marshall should sell a ton of them. I have not been this excited by a new piece of gear being released since Marshall announced the YJM100 a few years back. I plan to get ...

Re: No sound out of the YJM

Get some RFT made 12ax7's. They are reasonably priced for NOS tubes and they are well worth the extra money compared to the price of buying current production tubes. They YJM100 comes stock with a JJ 12ax7 in the first gain stage under the metal can. The rest of the 12ax7 tubes are Shuguangs. The JJ...

Re: No sound out of the YJM

Turn the noise gate off Turn the booster off Turn the EPA all the way up Unplug the footswitch Plug guitar cord into upper left input Turn on amp Take off standby Assuming your cabinet is plugged in and all cables good you should have sound. If not and the power tubes are lit up then I don't know. ...

Re: Where can I purchase a yjm these days? Discontinued mayb

Even with EPA at 12:00 the tone is clean. Yeah it sounds great if thats what you are going for but there is barely any crunch! Its just a completely different amp with my rock crusher, roars like a plexi should! My tone sweet spot is at 11:00 volume, no epa and no attenuator, of course this is way ...

Re: Where can I purchase a yjm these days? Discontinued mayb

EPA on 10:30 is pretty loud. Still i don´t agree on this how much an attenuator changes the tone. If you play a 1959 Marshall dimed without any attenuation it´s so stupid loud that you really can´t hear how it sounds. It´s so LOUD! Also the speakers get pushed a lot wich changes the tone a bit. If ...

Re: Where can I purchase a yjm these days? Discontinued mayb

Most attenuators suck tone and I have owned the Rivera Rockcrusher too. The Rockcrusher beat up on the the THD Hot Plate and the Marshall Power Brake I owned, but the Rockcrusher still had an unnatural sound to it. They all did. The EPA on the YJM100 sounds very natural. The YJM100 is a decent loud ...

Re: YJM test, EPA v Attenuator

That's another interesting point of view. What's interesting is how we all make the Plexi work for different situations. You use it more properly than I do, but before people say its the wrong amp for the job, just listen to the results I'm getting at bedroom level. Your clips in general have bette...
