Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall 2555X Silver Jubilee is a reissue of the 1987 25/50 Jubilee head, a 100-watt EL34 amp with a distinctive diode-clipping gain stage that gives it a smooth, compressed, and singing lead voice. Famously favored by Slash, it offers a master volume and a low-power switch, blending Plexi roots with a tighter, more saturated high-gain channel. Its midrange focus and creamy sustain made it a hard-rock and lead-tone icon.
