Jimi Hendrix had a sound like no other, expertly crafted and honed throughout his career. His trusted setup for some of the most iconic moments in music history, from the Monterey Pop Festival to Woodstock, often included Marshall products, namely the Super Lead 100W, his main live amplifier from 1969 to 1970, and the Marshall JTM45/100 introduced in 1965.
In fact, you can still view his personal Marshall gear that survived through some of his greatest performances at the Museum of Pop Culture in his hometown of Seattle. Marshall and Hendrix had an informal partnership for many years up until his death in 1970.
In celebration of his 60-year connection to the brand, Marshall launched a Hendrix-inspired line reminiscent of the singer’s 1967 track “Purple Haze.” The launch includes an Acton III Bluetooth speaker for $299.99, two tees (both $49.99) and a replica of Hendrix’s famed amplifier setup with a Fuzz Face pedal for preorder. The collection is available to shop now on Marshall’s website.
Acton III Marshall x Hendrix 60th Anniversary Edition Speaker
$299.99 Buy Now at marshall
The look of this special Acton III Bluetooth speaker was based on Hendrix’s style, with hints of purple velvet and silver accents. The unique exterior coincides with other pieces in the collection for a cohesive look.
The styling of the 60th anniversary Acton III Bluetooth speaker was inspired by Hendrix’s love of velvet, silver jewelry and science fiction, according to Marshall. Best used for casual listening, the mini-speaker is coated in textured purple crushed velvet, with a silver control panel featuring purple knobs and funky purple LED lights. The Acton III even uses soundbites from Hendrix’s songs as audio cues when turning the speaker on or connecting to a device.
The compact model features Bluetooth connectivity and analog controls for adjusting bass or treble to your liking. In addition, Marshall utilizes its own “Dynamic Loudness,” a setting that is used to balance out your speaker’s tonal sound at all volume levels. This ensures that your audio sounds full and impactful regardless of volume. We’d suggest this speaker to those seeking something compact with premium and robust sound.

Marshall x Hendrix 60th Anniversary 1959 JMH Half Stack with Fuzz Face Pedal
$4,999.99 preorder at marshall
This is a duo product featuring a stacked amp, similar to the Marshall stack Hendrix used along with a Fuzz Face pedal.
Available for preorder for $4,999.99, the hero piece in the collection is the Marshall x Hendrix 60th Anniversary 1959 JMH Half Stack, which was created to replicate the signature sound and vintage aesthetic of the late 1960s, but with a modernized purple and black exterior.
The amp setup acts as a “muscle” to the speaker, while its slanted design helps project that non-distorted sound upwards toward the player’s ears. With the half stack, you’ll also get a Fuzz Face distortion pedal produced by Dunlop, the same brand Hendrix used during the ’60s. The pedal features the same swirling purple design akin to splattered paint, while it creates a thick and gritty “fuzzy” or “fuzz” tone.
The historic partnership was years in the making, finally officially bringing Marshall and Hendrix together. “Jimi was a formidable musician, a real force of nature,” Terry Marshall, cofounder of Marshall Amplification, said in a statement. “He took everything to a new level and carried everybody with him.”
