Marshall expands Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection

Marshall Group has announced the final installment of its Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection, marking six decades since the legendary guitarist first used Marshall amplifiers. The new limited-edition release features three distinct audio products: the Major V on-ear headphones, the Emberton III portable Bluetooth speaker, and the JMH Studio amplifier.

The collection utilizes a psychedelic aesthetic inspired by Hendrix’s cosmic interests, featuring black and purple oil-on-water patterns, silver detailing, and an “all-seeing eye” motif. The Major V headphones offer over 100 hours of battery life, while the Emberton III speaker provides over 32 hours of playback and IP67 water resistance.

The centerpiece of the release is the JMH Studio amplifier, which is hand-built at Marshall’s factory in Bletchley, UK. This 20W valve amplifier is based on the classic Studio Vintage design and features a custom black-and-purple psychedelic finish. Janie L. Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix, noted that the partnership between Hendrix and Marshall provided the power and freedom to transform bold musical ideas into a sound the world had never heard before.
