Marshall announced the second wave of its limited-edition Marshall × Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection, marking 60 years since Jimi Hendrix first used Marshall amplifiers. New models include the reimagined Major V headphones, Emberton III speaker, and JMH Studio portable amplifier. The Major V and Emberton III are available for early purchase on marshall.com from Tuesday, August 25, and at select authorized retailers from Friday, September 11. The JMH Studio goes on sale later. This is the final release in the collection.
The second wave leans into the psychedelic end of the Hendrix legacy. Each model carries an oil-on-water finish with a purple base and the All-Seeing Eye motif, a visual language that runs from the Major V headphone headband to the Emberton III control knob and its purple LEDs.
The Major V keeps its foldable on-ear design with a glossy black body and Hendrix-inspired details inside the headband and ear cups. The Emberton III applies a hand-applied water transfer printing process to its silicone sleeve, so each unit has its own finish. Both support over a day of continuous playback on a single charge.
The JMH Studio amplifier, handcrafted at Marshall's Bletchley, UK factory, reinterprets the classic Studio Vintage design. Janie Hendrix, Jimi's half-sister, recalled hearing the Marshall story from her father, Al Hendrix, who was present at the original meeting.
