I still love a good Marshall though... the 2203/4.

i imagine the 50w/100w versions might be better? it was just a shock when i couldn't get a clean sound from a modern, two-channel, 25w amp.
fwiw when I was deciding between amps I also A/B’d it with the Studio Classic (JCM800) through the same cab and found I could get the Jubilee near enough identical sounding on rhythm clip. It was just a bit more compressed and less “immediate” in feel, maybe due to the less simple circuit?
In my experience the eq behaves differently than on other Marshall’s I’ve tried. Usually on a MarahallI lower the bass and crank the mids (keeping the.Treble fairly neutral). On the Jubilee cranked mids sound harsh and you definitely need more bass even when you have a load of gain.
I love the cleans on mine and find the liveliest cleans are available when you use the lead channel with the gain around 10 o’clock, the master right up and the lead volume to taste. Drop the mids , crank the bass et voila!

The Jubilee is designed to be used for gain, where it excels IMHO.
YMMV, naturally
'Enough' power in volume terms and a clean enough sound at that volume are not the same thing at all. I struggle with the clean headroom on a Deluxe Reverb, even though an overdriven Tweed Champ is actually *loud* enough.

No problem getting a great sound at gigging volume even on the low power setting. Mind you I don't need clean tones.
Whilst I accept that Marshalls aren't known for cleans, they actually should be capable of producing a non distorted sound.
My issue with the (older) Jubilees (and hence comment above) was that they sounded *bad* at what a Marshall is known for. Can't comment on the newer ones, mind you...
Works great as a 2 channel amp if you want crunch and lead.
