Have a good rehearsal tonight - hope the amp performs for you.

if you don’t mind me asking,
what do you think sounds better at home, the Jubilee or the origin?
and which is better at mid level gain tones?
I will try and get a quick vid of the 2 tonight at decent volumes.
I’ve been really surprised at how well my Laney IRT stands up against the jubilee at home levels. I’d actually go as far to say at whisper volume it’s a bit better than the Jubilee, but I don’t think it will be when they are both loud......
plus the Jubilee says Marshall on it and ticks the big kid mentality that I still have.
So close but not quite... Dialled it in to its sweet spot and it sounded glorious, Fat, punchy, sustain, just the right amount of gain, lovely with the boost on as well.... Then the rest of the band started and it was way too loud so I dialled the master back and all of the gain and sustain drops out
Swap to 10w mode and it’s too quiet and loses a lot of its punch. Gutted really, it behaves like a non master volume amp and there is no way to get the amount of gain I want as a base crunch tone without cranking the nuts out of it.
Tried it with my 2061cx 2x12 with old greenbacks and my 1966a 2x12 with an old UK V30 and a really old 75.
I could bring my attenuator but I can’t be bothered lugging that to gigs and the jubilee is just more manageable at more volumes.
If you can play loud or don’t need a big cab then this could be that missing lower wattage Marshall, JTM / Superlead but for me it needs a much better range in the gain control. Damn shame but it’s going back
Gawd knows what the 50w Head I actually ordered would be like!!!
