I think that the slash version which seems to be the best is the 2550 model.

Not that it really matters but Slash uses the 2555 Silver Jubilee and his sig model is the 2555SL as I used to own one
The only difference between the two (as far as I know) is that the 2555 and 2555SL where 100W/50W switchable heads and the 2550 was a 50W/25W switchable head. The preamp sections are the same but the poweramp sections are different. There were also a range of Combos produced in a range of wattages.
I think that some users prefered the 50w because as with most Marshall's you had to crank it to get the poweramp working and you could do this at lower volumes. I vastly prefered the 100W as it had more punch to it and when running at 50W it seemed to be missing something.
As you might tell I really do like this amp
I still own a 2555SL + Matching V30 Cab and have been trying for some time to replicate it. Did a lot of A/B testing with EQ adjustments and the 800 amp etc. but did not manage to get the exact same sound. This Marshall sure is one of the best crunch sound ever played... I would love to see this in the Axe..
In the meanwhile I try to get as close as I can. That was the goal when I bought the Axe two weeks ago. To get the same fabulous sound, without the weight of the head/cab...
But I'm still not there...
Won't play live with the axe before I nail this sound... But I'm still looking for an apropriate FRFR solution to get there so...
