Marshall | 1959BJA Artist Signature Amp
Send your tone on Holiday with this special version of the Marshall 1959!
In early 1994, Green Day’s Dookie exploded into the mainstream, defining the snotty, lively sound of pop punk, and inspiring a new generation of basket cases to pick up a guitar! Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong had a very simple rig: a heavily modified Fernandes S-Style Electric Guitar and a single modded Marshall 1959SLP (later adding a second 1959SLP to his live rig), and has used a Marshall 1959 to power his playing ever since!
At the 2026 Super Bowl, Billie Joe stepped onto stage in front of a new amplifier: the Marshall 1959BJA Artist Signature Amp! Designed with Billie Joe Armstrong, this new amplifier is handwired and features the “Dookie Mod” that has been the cornerstone of Green Day’s raw attack for 30 years! The Marshall Marshall 1959BJA Billie Joe Armstrong Signature 100w Handwired Tube Amp Head are now available for pre-order at Chicago Music Exchange, so call us today at (773)525-7773, chat with our sales team, or simply come into our Lincoln Avenue showroom to pre-order this very special amp head!
Marshall 1959BJA Billie Joe Armstrong Signature 100w Handwired Tube Amp Head Baby Blue
The Marshall 1959BJA Artist Series amp, designed with Billie Joe Armstrong and inspired by Green Day’s Dookie album, is a unique evolution of the legendary 1959. Delivering the raw energy, crunch and enhanced low mids of the original, it captures Billie Joe Armstrong’s signature tone.
Featuring a baby blue finish, brass and silver panels, custom Dookie branding, as well as his signature, this UK-made amp head allows players to pair it with their own cabinet for complete tonal control. This is more than an amp - it’s Billie’s sound, look and attitude in a single piece of gear.

Growing up and NOT Burning Out!
Lying within the 1959BJA’s handwired circuit is enhanced punch and power! Mirroring Billie Joe’s very own 1959s, these amps welcome you to tonal paradise with increased gain and an enhanced oomph in the low-mids. The result is that every chord hits harder and every riff stands out, while your guitar retains its specific notch in the mix, and still feels balanced in the studio.
A Signature Look for a Signature Amplifier!
While this looks like an amplifier for sweet children, this amplifier packages and presents the youthful power present in Green Day’s music! The blue finish is inspired by Billie’s “Blue” Fernandes, and this amp also features a custom panel and unique branding, specified to fit Billie’s tastes.
