Marshall Launches Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection

Sixty years after Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the electric guitar with a Marshall stack, the iconic British amp brand is expanding its tribute collection with a cosmic new look, player-friendly power, and lifestyle audio gear.

It has been exactly six decades since the legendary Jimi Hendrix first plugged into a Marshall amplifier, turned it up to eleven, and sent the guitar world spinning on a completely new axis. To celebrate this enduring legacy, Marshall is expanding its Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection with a stunning custom half-stack, special edition headphones, and a Bluetooth speaker.

Earlier today, we wrote about the newly re-released Hendrix Woodstock footage, officially available on the Jimi Hendrix YouTube channel, and now Marshall has announced more Hendrix-related gear.

This latest announcement from Marshall follows the release of the half stack earlier this year.

The JMH Studio Edition: Vintage Plexi Mojo in a Portable Package

For guitarists who found the hand-wired 1969 JMH Super Lead tube head—launched earlier this May—a bit too much of a fire-breather for modern venues, Marshall has delivered the perfect solution. The JMH Studio Edition captures that downsized 1959SLP Studio Vintage Plexi vibe but in a highly manageable 20-watt format.

Here is a breakdown of what makes this new Hendrix amplifier a must-have:

• Switchable Tube Power: Driven by a pair of EL34 tubes under the hood, this 20-watt head can easily drop down to a house-trainable 5 watts.
• Stunning Cosmic Design: Wrapped in a purple-and-black cosmic swirl finish with silver piping, a custom "third eye" commemorative badge, and a unique purple LED indicator.
• Premium Matching Cabinet: Bundled with a 2x12 cab loaded with custom Celestion V12 speakers.
• Modern Upgrades: Features bridgeable channels, a DI output, 16/8/4-ohm speaker connections, and a series effects loop—a highly requested feature the originals lacked.
• UK Craftsmanship: Proudly built at Marshall’s legendary Bletchley factory in the UK.

Players wanting a sneak peek at the tone can check out the official demo video featuring Texan rock-and-blues guitar phenom Ally Venable.

Carrying the Torch: Jimi’s Endless Search for Sound

Janie Hendrix, Jimi's sister, notes that it is up to today's generation to carry the torch and reinvent the electric guitar in their own unique ways.

“Jimi was always searching for a sound that did not yet exist, pushing beyond what anyone thought an electric guitar could do. Marshall gave him the power and freedom to turn those bold ideas into a sound the world had never heard before.” – Janie Hendrix

Cosmic Audio: Emberton III & Royal V Headphones

The anniversary celebration extends beyond the stage and into everyday listening. Audiophiles and fans can grab the special edition Emberton III Bluetooth speaker and foldable Royal V headphones, both sharing the collection's mesmerizing purple-and-black aesthetic.
