The Silver Jubilee is back! Marshall have released a reissue of this classic amplifier called the 2555x. Originally launched in 1987 to celebrate 25 years in the amp business the Silver Jubilee is a darker and hotter version of the world renown JCM800 2203 and 2204 and has been used on stages around the world. 27 years after it was taken off the shelves it is back to take the world by storm.

Classic Circuit

Fans of the original will be happy to know that this reissue is as close to the original circuit as you can get without going and trying to find one of the originals. This 100w/50w switchable all valve head does have a few functional improvements over the original but in terms of sound you can’t improve on perfection. Rated at 100w this three mode two channel amplifier uses four EL34 power amp tubes and three ECC83 preamp tubes to provide incredible levels of high gain loveliness.

Its signature and unique three ‘mode’ preamp system the clean mode which as the name suggests is a clean mode with little to no drive that will cut through a mix really well. The Rhythm Clip mode adds slightly more gain to the signal and fattens up the sound to make sure you are heard and finally you have a footswitchable lead mode which is perfect for those classic British rock solos.

Original Design

The key to the design of the Marshall Silver Jubilee is in the name. With silver tolex covering the head and a chrome metal front instead of the standard gold this amplifier will be noticed on any stage. Just like the original 1987 version the 2555x head has been designed with the same silver aesthetic that made the amp so eye catching in the first place.

Stuff About Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Stuff About Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.

The Important stuff

Guitar Amp Head — Guitar amp heads contain the main tone-shaping and power section of an amplifier, designed to be paired with a separate speaker cabinet. They let you choose different cabinets to suit your sound and setup, offering flexibility for home, studio or live use. If you want control over volume, tone and character without being tied to a single combo format, amp heads give you a modular way to build the rig that works best for you..
