Marshall x Hendrix: Celebrating 60 Years of Iconic Sound and Style
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix plugging into a Marshall amp, Marshall is releasing a limited-edition half stack and pedal inspired by Hendrix's iconic sound and style. The half stack features a purple and black design and comes with a Fuzz Face pedal for maximum distortion. The Acton III Bluetooth speaker also gets a Hendrix makeover with a purple crushed velvet exterior and silver accents. The speaker includes audio cues from Hendrix's songs.
When Hendrix first met Jim Marshall in 1966, he paid full price for his amps and only asked for servicing if needed. Hendrix's love for Marshall amps helped the brand gain international recognition. The collection was a collaborative effort with Janie Hendrix, Jimi's sister and CEO of Authentic Hendrix, to create a design that honored Hendrix's preferences.
Hendrix's preference for loud music and using multiple full stacks influenced the design of the Marshall amps. The partnership between Hendrix and Marshall was a perfect match, as the amps enhanced his music and playing style. The amplifier bundle and Bluetooth speaker are available for preorder and purchase, respectively, with more 60th-anniversary Marshall x Hendrix releases on the horizon.
The limited-edition Marshall x Hendrix collection pays tribute to the legendary guitarist's connection with Marshall amps and his unique sound. The collaboration between Marshall and Janie Hendrix ensures that the designs reflect Jimi's preferences and style. Fans can now own a piece of rock history with these exclusive Marshall x Hendrix products.
