Is he using a 50 or 100 watt head? Doesn't really matter, they're the same in the same way a 2204 is the same as a 2203, just 50 watts difference.

I've had two of them, in fact at one point I had the full stack which was pretty cool, and 2 2555's but I've still got one of them. Blackba has a 2553.

There were three heads, the 2555, which I think is what Joe Bonamassa is using what Slash uses, and the guy from the black crows used for a while. The 2550 which is the full sized 50 watt head, and the 2553 which is the same, but in a small box. Think JCM 800 but with more gain, and darker sounding. I like 'em a lot.

Thanks for the info There's a 2553 stack available locally (head with the 2 2x12 cabs) in perfect shape...may need to check it out..$2000 for set up out of line?

Anymore that's not too bad. The heads usually sell in the 1250-1500.00+ range, and the cabs;

I can't believe how high these things have gotten. I was checking past auctions and a 2555 just like mine sold for 2225.00.
