Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 - Lead preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

Built for a single year to celebrate Marshall's 25th anniversary, the Silver Jubilee 2555 became an instant legend and one of the most sought-after amps in rock. It features three gain modes - Clean, Rhythm Clip, and Lead - derived from the JCM800 platform but with a sweeter, more harmonically complex overdrive character that split the difference between vintage plexi warmth and 80s high-gain aggression. The Pentode/Triode switch, a first for Marshall, allows the amp to run at half power for even earlier power section saturation.
