Marshall have revealed the details of a new amp which they have made in collaboration with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.

The 1959BJA is a build on the brand’s iconic 1959HW platform, with a custom “Dookie Mod”, which has been inspired by the tone of the band’s 1995 album, built by the band alongside producer Rob Cavallo.

It is also baby blue in colour, which is a tribute to Billie’s first guitar, Blue.

Marshall’s Culture Marketing Director Steph Carter had this to say about the team-up:

“Billie Joe’s guitar sound is instantly recognisable. From the moment you hear those opening chords on Dookie, you know exactly who it is. Working with Billie to create an amp that captures that punch, aggression and clarity was an incredible project for our team.”

Whilst Billie Joe himself had this to add:

“I’m so overjoyed to have my own signature Marshall amp. These amps have been a part of my musical life, from my heroes down to little old me. Turn it the f**k up!!”

The amp will be available to buy from July 21 at www.marshall.com
