Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall 2555X Silver Jubilee 100W Reissue is a faithful recreation of the original 1987 Silver Jubilee amplifier, released to commemorate Marshall founder Jim Marshall's 25th anniversary in the amp-building business. Finished in the celebrated silver vinyl covering that gave the original its nickname, it delivers the two-channel, master-volume tonal character that made the Jubilee series a favorite among high-gain rock and metal players, including Slash, who famously used a Jubilee for parts of Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction."
