Also has a 25 / 50 watt switch on front to cut the wattage down.



These went for $1500 before the market crashed and being a jubilee they will have excellent collectibility. Granted its not the silver tolex model but the circuit is identical.

Re: Help me pick my first real amp

Used prices for quality amps are ridiculously low right now.

I second keeping an eye out for used Peavey's, they can be had ridiculously cheap for the amp you get.

Good luck in your search!

What sort of laney do you currently have? (Saw you had one in another thread.)

That is a killer deal on that one. I already have one and a 2555 or I'd buy it myself.

OK well damn. I missed out on that insane deal cause I was still researching what I wanted.

I think I'm going to get either a Marshall Jubilee or a 6100.

Now the waiting game...
