Product Overview

The Silver Jubilee 2555X is the modern reissue of the legendary 1987 amplifier that took the rock world by storm. Originally released to celebrate Jim Marshall’s 50th year in the music industry, this 100W powerhouse became the gold standard for high-gain British tone. Designed, engineered, and handcrafted in our UK factory, the 2555X brings back the distinctive silver vinyl covering and that famous aggressive, saturated sound used by the world’s greatest guitar icons.

Product Description

• The Definitive 80s Rock Tone: The 2555X is built for players who need serious gain. The Lead Channel provides high levels of distortion and singing sustain, while the Pull Rhythm Clip feature on the Input Gain control allows you to add extra grit and harmonic saturation to the clean/rhythm channel.

• Master Volume Versatility: Unlike traditional vintage amps, the Silver Jubilee features a sophisticated preamp design with Lead Master and Output Master controls. This allows you to dial in heavy distortion at any volume level, making it as effective in the studio as it is on a stadium stage.

• Switchable Power Scaling: To suit your playing environment, the 2555X features a power reduction mode. You can switch from a massive 100W down to 50W at the flick of a switch, allowing for earlier power-valve breakup and a more manageable volume for smaller venues.

• All-Valve Prowess: This head is driven by four EL34 power amp valves and three ECC83 preamp valves, delivering the massive low-end punch and "barky" mid-range that Marshall is famous for.

• Modern Reliability: While it stays faithful to the original 1987 circuitry, the reissue includes modern improvements like a series FX loop and enhanced connectivity for contemporary pedalboards and recording setups.

   

Key Features

• Dual-Channel/Two Voices: Seamlessly transition between sparkling cleans and aggressive leads.
