Product Description
Created in collaboration with Billie Joe Armstrong, the Marshall 1959BJA Artist Signature amp takes the celebrated 1959 platform and cranks it up to 11! Inspired by the unmistakable sound of Green Day’s Dookie era, this modded head serves up the raw energy, punchy mids and killer crunch that cemented the album’s legendary status. If you're chasing Billie’s iconic ’90s guitar tone, this amp gets you closer than anything that’s come before.
“This amp is my ride or die. Play fast! Die trying.” – Billie Joe Armstrong
More gain, more muscle, more attitude
While it's built on the foundations of a Marshall classic, the 1959BJA dishes out extra gain, more body and a thicker low-mid response. The result is a fuller, more aggressive take on a trailblazing circuit that's perfect for huge riffs, power chords and lively performances on the biggest stages.
Inspired by “Blue”
Taking its visual cues from Billie’s first guitar (famously known as "Blue"), this striking amp head features a cool baby blue finish complemented by brass and silver control panel details. Custom Dookie branding and Billie Joe Armstrong’s signature complete the package, making it a fitting tribute to one of rock’s most recognisable sounds and players.
Built in the UK
Handwired in the UK, the 1959BJA showcases the craftsmanship, quality and tonal brilliance that Marshall is renowned for. Available as a head-only unit, it gives you the freedom to pair it with the speaker cab of your choice for total control over your sound. Whether you're a lifelong Green Day geek or just love classic British valve tone, this is a seriously special amp!
