Marshall launches the final chapter of its Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection, spanning the Major V headphones and Emberton III speaker, with the JMH Studio amp priced at $2,387 as the crowning piece. The full lineup officially launches September 9, 2026.
A $2,387 studio amp sitting on the same shelf as a $177 pair of headphones—that's the final move in Marshall's Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection, brazenly placing "everyday listening" and "stage-level gear" side by side.
Marshall says the collection commemorates the exact moment in 1966 when Hendrix first plugged into a Marshall amp—now a full 60 years ago. Named the "Jimi Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection," it's been positioned as the final chapter of this tribute project.
Visually, the entire lineup carries forward Hendrix's fascination with space, color, and expanded consciousness: a purple oil-on-water gradient printed across the surfaces, paired with silver accents and Hendrix's iconic "all-seeing eye" motif—a design language running through every piece in the season.
The two entry-level consumer pieces are already available. The Major V headphones are priced around £130 (roughly $177), while the Emberton III speaker runs about £150 (roughly $205)—both can be ordered directly from Marshall's official online store. The real highlight, though, is reserved for guitar purists: the JMH Studio amp, priced at £1,749.99 (roughly $2,387), is the only professional-grade model in the entire collection built for working musicians, and it serves as the grand finale of the whole 60th anniversary project.
The Major V and Emberton III are available for purchase now, while the complete lineup—including the JMH Studio amp—officially launches September 9, 2026, through select retailers worldwide and Marshall's official website.
