Marshall and Jimi Hendrix Estate Launch 60th Anniversary Collection

Marshall has announced a collaboration with the Jimi Hendrix estate to celebrate 60 years since Hendrix first plugged into a Marshall amplifier in 1966. The collection includes a limited-edition Acton III Bluetooth speaker covered in crushed purple velvet, a 1959 HW half-stack 100 watt amplifier and 1960AHW Cab handmade at Marshall's Bletchley factory in the UK, and a custom Fuzz Face distortion pedal originally designed by Ivor Arbiter. The products feature unique finishes influenced by Hendrix's love of velvet, silver jewelry, and space and science fiction. The collection marks a return to basics for Marshall, which is now owned by Chinese HongShan Capital Group and operates from Stockholm and Milton Keynes. The collaboration aims to honor Hendrix's legacy as a committed user of Marshall amplification.
