I’m afraid I don’t have a specific Marshall amp to suggest, but I think Reggae music has more to do with amp settings rather than the amp itself.

Clean for the skank, overdrive for your solo's.
A little echo, reverb, and wah wah.

You could probably use most anything...as per the article Fender Twin is what Bob used at some point.

This might be the reason why nobody seems to know, but keep bumping the thread as a Reggae-playing forum member may eventually show up and suggest a suitable Marshall amp from experience.

“Bob Marley focused mainly on song writing and singing and therefore played anything the sound engineers provided. Having said that, most of the time he would play through a Fender Silver Face Twin and sometimes a Marshall or an Ampeg amp.” (how to play reggae - Bob Marley Guitar Lesson Secrets)

the Bob Marley signature Spleeftone 100. it should be released later this year,or maybe next year,or maybe for the 75th Anniversary,or maybe never.

I think Bob was more into doobies, you know, much fatter than a spleef, so Doobietone might be the one to look out for.
