When Billie Joe Armstrong stepped onto the stage with Green Day at the 2026 Super Bowl, fans and guitarists noticed something new behind him: a striking baby-blue Marshall head that sparked widespread speculation across the music world. Today, Marshall unveils its’ first artists signature amp in 14 years; the Billie Joe Armstrong 1959BJA Artist Signature inspired by one of punk rock’s most recognisable guitar tones.
Developed with Billie Joe Armstrong, the 1959BJA builds on Marshall’s legendary handwired 1959HW platform, refined with a custom “Dookie Mod” inspired by the tone shaped alongside producer Rob Cavallo during Green Day’s breakthrough era.
The result is a classic plexi with modern performance flexibility delivering increased gain, tighter lows and the saturated punch that brings Billie’s signature sound into a modern stage-ready format.
In this video, Marshall product specialist Steve Smith checks out the 1959BJA ‘Dookie’ Amp and runs through the features.
