ONE CONTROL OC-JRAIABn JUBILEE RED AIAB Amp In a Box Preamp Pedal
Product Information
The Jubilee Red AIAB BJF Series Amp-in-a-Box Preamp Pedal is a high-gain distortion pedal inspired by the Silver Jubilee series of British tube amplifiers. It has an input impedance of 180K, output impedance of 50K, and requires an input voltage of 9V with a current consumption of 6mA @ 9V. It has a signal-to-noise ratio of 80dB and comes in a compact size of 39Wx100Dx31H mm (excluding protruding parts) or 47Wx100Dx46H mm (including protruding parts) with a weight of approximately 160 grams. The pedal features true-bypass switching and is housed in a high-quality aluminum enclosure. It can be powered by a 9V battery or standard DC power supply.
The Jubilee Red AIAB is designed to pair perfectly with both humbucker and single coil pickups, including modern high-gain and active designs. It is also suitable for handling the additional low end of 7 and 8-string guitars. The pedal features a mid control that sets the depth of the midnotch centered at 600hz and a treble knob that sets the balance of treble and bass points around a midnotch. The treble shelf is about 2kHz while the bass hump appears around 100hz.
Product Usage Instructions
- Connect your guitar to the input jack of the pedal.
- Connect the output jack of the pedal to an amplifier or other effects pedals.
- If using a battery, insert a 9V battery into the battery compartment on the bottom of the pedal. If using a DC power supply, plug the power supply into the DC input jack on the pedal.
- Turn on your amplifier or other effects pedals.
- Turn on the Jubilee Red AIAB by pressing down on the footswitch. The LED light will illuminate to indicate that the pedal is on.
- Adjust the MID knob to set the depth of the midnotch. Turning up the MID knob lessens the notch and flattens the tonal response.
- Adjust the TREBLE knob to set the balance of treble and bass points around a midnotch. The treble shelf is about 2kHz while the bass hump appears around 100hz.
- Experiment with different settings to find the desired tone and level of distortion.
- To turn off the pedal, press down on the footswitch again. The LED light will turn off to indicate that the pedal is off.

- The newest of Björn’s “Amp-in-a-Box” (AIAB) circuits, the JUBILEE RED AIAB is a modern high-gain distortion pedal with tonal roots descending from the legendary Silver Jubilee series of British amplifiers that were created in the late ’80s.
Description
- Released in the late 80’s, the Silver Jubilee series of British tube amps were the highest gain amplifiers ever created on UK shores, with switchable 25/50/100 watt output sections, switchable gain channels, and an enhanced mid-range control and presence. Numerous modern amplifiers have been directly inspired by the original models, and many metal guitarists still love and use these Jubilee amps today; original units continue to rise in value, and reissues have also recently be released.
- The signature Jubilee sound is an extension from the Plexi/JMP series of amps. While these have an earlier, less-gainy type of rock sound (one which is represented in the One Control lineup by the Purple Plexifier), the Jubilee series amps had a much higher-gain sound, with a more focused midrange presence that was favored by many rock guitarists, including Slash, John Frusciante, and Joe Bonamassa.
- With the new Jubilee Red AIAB, guitarists have access to one of the highest gain distortions that One Control has ever released, with enhanced midrange control as well as low noise performance. The pedal pairs perfectly with either humbucker or single coil pickups, including more modern high-gain and active designs. It is also very well suited to handle the additional low end of 7 and 8-string guitars.
Björn Says
- Though it was primarily designed for metal style music, the playability of the Jubilee Red that makes each note on the fretboard about equal can absolutely be used for other styles – certainly for heavier lead playing in any genre. It allows for very fluid note playing along the entire fretboard at any gain setting, whereas the Purple Plexifier, a similar British amp-inspired One Control pedal, needs to have the gain control maxed out to approach this sound. At lower gain settings, the sounds of the Jubilee Red are more modern than those of the Purple Plexifier.
- The MID control sets the depth of the midnotch and it is centered at 600hz – the tone control network creates a midnotch, while turning up the MID knob lessens the notch and flattens the tonal response. The TREBLE knob is technically a tone-balance that sets the balances of treble and bass points around a midnotch and the treble shelf is about 2kHz while the bass hump appears around 100hz.
