The Marshall Silver Jubilee Guitar Amplifier.

I recently aquired one of these. In 1987, The Marshall Amp company released this product to commemorate 25 years of  loud.

At first glance this amp in not unlike the JCM800 models produced at the same time. The main differences being the addition of an extra gain stage, distinctive silver grey vinyl covering, and a half power switch on the front panel. The latter was no doubt added to counter the critisism about the insane loudness of this product.

In today's climate of alleged vintage amp simulation, this product totally exposes the fraud of so called vintage amp simulation. The rhythm channel has the punchy authority of the guitar sound from Ziggy Stardust, or the first Bad Company album. Engaging the extra gain gives you the sound of Highway to Hell era Malcolm Young.

Switching to the lead channel instantly delivers the sound of the guitar solo in November Rain. Enough said.

In Summary, awesome old school rock n roll. No Chinese, no plastic, no compromise. 10 out of 10.
