One of my pride and joy's is my 2550 fullsize fullstack with both
matching cabs. I'm pretty sure I have one of the very few mint
fullstacks with consecutive serialed cabs. I don't even let anyone
put their hand on it. I drove way out into the middle of the Mojave desert to a guy's house, who advertised this stack for
$1500. I stole it for $1400 and couldn't even believe when the guy wheeled it out of his closet and told me he bought it in 1987
and used it a couple times. He even had all the black covers,
the book, and bumpersticker!!!!!! I've retubed it with 2
Tesla E-34L's and 3 EI Gold Elite preamp tubes. I'm not kidding,
the tone will blow away any highgain Marshall you've ever heard.
The 50 watters like the 2550, 2553 smallbox, and 2558 2-12
have the most sweet singing sustain ever, because the
power tube gain masks the diode clipping circuit to the point where you can't hear any buzziness. I love the 100 watter,
since it was my first good amp back in 87, when I bought it new,
then sold it. However, that head has to be "stupid loud" before
it starts cookin like the 50 watters. Love'em all.
Even Jim Marshall considers the Jubilees to be his favorite highgain Marshall. Of course, he has a true love for the old P to P
Plexi's as well.
