2525C Mini Silver Jubilee 1x12" 20/5-watt Tube Combo Amp Review

Don’t think twice at the price, just buy it!!!

If you're into the Stevie Ray Vaughan tone this is the perfect amp for you also has lots of low end grunt and mid range bite to it when you dial back the treble. Mids make a very huge difference just from going to the 1 o clock to the 3 o clock range when adjusted. Pair this with a American professional 2 strat (mine is the roasted pine SSS Model maple neck also worth the checkout)… read more and you've got one of the best tones you'll find. Mine is the Sweetwater limited edition even the 5 watt setting is very very loud and gigable! It's a 10/10 in my opinion and I'll rate it that high even not having a reverb built in… I have the keely pedal with spring, hall and room Reverb

Old guy likes amp

Briefly 40 solid years plus playing under my belt, doesn't mean I know it all but definitely have owned it all and used it in band situations, going over the slight negatives I've heard about this amp, mind you tone is in the ears of the tweaker so you have to know and be able to find what you're looking for. "Its bright" yes if you push treble high and presence through a new greenback… read more it could be, I found a very useable base sound Treble, Middle, Bass, and Presence all on 3, input gain 5-8 to your taste, going too high on the mids tend to fatten notes but take crunch/edge out of your sound, tweak the high's from here with treble and low's with Bass knob to your taste, low Mids bring back the "lack of Bass Response" people talk about. "Too much compression on the Lead Channel" again could be too much mids but a solo boost should have more gain in the rock/blues world which also means more compression, play with that input gain knob and switch back and forth with the rhythm/lead channel selector till your gain levels are acceptable and balanced to your liking. Through the loop I run a Reverb on all the time and a Delay for longer echos, chorus also when needed, loop sounds great to me. All amps have their own character, consider your musical tastes, research the product with online videos, pay attention to your pickups too, Marshall 800's in general had very interactive tone controls, try keeping eq knobs low and dial in what you need. To me this amp will cover Rock, Blues (my friend came over with a single coil strat dead on Stevie) Hard Rock, Reggae, even Funk, playing with the pickup selector and taps on my PRS guitars tons of tones. Haven't gigged with it yet but do have an audition tonight, enjoy.

Marshall Mini Jube combo 2525C

Great-sounding amp. Has that chewy '80s Marshall grind. Sounds good at low volumes, and rips pretty loud at the full (20 watt) setting. UK-built, very sturdy. Glad the designers paired this combo with the Celestion Greenback inside, it is a good match. Only possible concern is that this being a virtually closed-back amp, will there be enough air circulation to keep tubes/electronics… read more cool? Not an issue so far, and haven't seen any other complaints online, so maybe there is no reason for concern. Very happy with purchase.

Great Marshall Amp

You can't go wrong with this amp.My two main guitars are a strat and a Flying V.With the strat I use a dod overdrive on the clean channel with the Rhythm clip pulled,killer tone.With the "V" I use the dod as a boost only through the dirty channel with theRhythm clip pulled,professional tone is all I can say.If your thinking of buying this amp don't listen to any negative reviews… read more about this amp anyone who complains doesn't like Marshall tone.All Marshall and made in the uk! The 20 watt/5Watt feature is great especially when trying to keep stage volume down.It also comes with tung sol el 34b tubes!Thanks to Marshall,Sweet water&my wife my amp needs have been fulfilled.

7 Star Amp

For seven years, I've been looking for an amplifier that would take the sounds I make with my guitar well. Unfortunately, I have not ran into one to my liking. I've previously used a Vox AC30C2, Fender Twin Reverb, and a cheap Marshall combo (can't remember the model) but none of which matched my style. They're either too clean or too dirty, there's no "in-between." One day, I've… read more played a Marshall Silver Jubilee and instantly fell in love with the sound and thought this was THE sound I've been looking for. But it was too big for my setup and too expensive. A friend of mine told me there is a mini version of the amp and I'm glad I took a stab in purchasing this because it sounds exactly like the original version. Don't be fooled by this 5-watt product, it's as loud as any other giant amp. The sound is well-balanced and it cleans up distorted sounds well. This goes to show that big things can come from small packages. I highly recommend this if you plan on recording guitar in a studio or gigging in clubs. Big high-five to Marshall!!!
