Cosmic Tone: The Marshall x Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Collection

There are brand partnerships that look great on paper, and then there are creative pairings that fundamentally rewrite human culture. Back in 1966, an electric young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix plugged into a Marshall amplifier for the very first time.

Marshall built the raw machinery, but Hendrix taught it how to scream, kickstarting a sonic revolution that shook the world from London to Woodstock.

Sixty years later, these two titans of music history are aligning once again for a truly spectacular release.

Enter the Marshall x Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Collection. This limited-edition capsule is a masterclass in premium product design, combining Marshall’s legendary audio engineering with Hendrix’s iconic “cosmic” aesthetic, love of bold textures, and unforgettable stage presence.

Psychedelic Audio for the Modern Home

The most accessible piece of kit in the lineup for everyday design and music enthusiasts is the heavily redesigned Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Edition Acton III Bluetooth speaker.

Marshall’s industrial design team didn’t just slap a lazy logo on this; they went deep into Hendrix’s personal style diary, drawing heavy inspiration from his signature crushed velvet coats, high-end silver jewelry, and lifelong fascination with science fiction.

* Exterior: Wrapped in premium, tactile crushed velvet
* Controls: Silver brushed panel with custom purple knobs and purple LEDs
* Motif: Silver-stamped "all-seeing eye" on the side casing

Turn the Acton III on, and you are immediately transported into Jimi’s universe. Instead of a standard digital beep, the speaker plays a custom on-off audio cue pulled from a rare, archival instrumental recording of “Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland).”

It is a brilliantly subtle touch that brings a piece of rock history right to your tabletop or bookshelf.

The Pure Rock ‘n’ Roll Holy Grail

For the serious musicians, gear purists, and die-hard collectors, Marshall is dropping the ultimate stage-ready heavyweight: the Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Edition 1959 JMH Half Stack.

This absolute beast of a rig combines a 1959 Handwired Head with a 1960 AJMH 4×12 Handwired Angled Cabinet to perfectly replicate the exact high-gain, tight low-end, and mid-range punch that Hendrix used to change the fabric of music.

“Jimi was a formidable musician, a real force of nature… It was a really special time for us all and there’s no doubt that we grew with him and his fame.” — Terry Marshall, Co-founder

Handmade at the legendary Bletchley Marshall factory in the UK, each stack is built from premium plywood and wrapped in rugged black Tolex. But the visual styling takes a hard turn into the stratosphere.

Black and purple collide in a mesmerizing, psychedelic oil-on-water swirl across the front fret and control panel.

Gleaming silver detailing accents the knobs, handle, and front grill logo, while the symbolic all-seeing eye badge anchors the top and bottom of the rig.

Snarling Tones on Demand

To ensure you can fully recreate those biting, snappy, and beautifully chaotic tones, the half stack comes packaged exclusively with a limited-edition Dunlop Fuzz Face® Distortion pedal.

Sporting the exact same cosmic swirl finish as the amplifiers, it is the final puzzle piece needed to unlock that authentic, face-melting ’60s crunch.

Whether you are looking to upgrade your home audio setup with the velvet-wrapped Acton III or looking to invest in a handwired slice of UK-built amplifer history, the Marshall x Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Collection hits all the right notes.
