Marshall x Hendrix Studio JMH Half Stack - Cosmic Black & Purple Swirl

Dive deep into a purple haze of swirling psychedelic style and raw Plexi-inspired tone with the Marshall Hendrix Studio JMH Half Stack, a special-edition celebration marking 60 years since Jimi Hendrix first partnered with Marshall. Made in the UK, the matching SV20H JMH head and SV212 JMH cabinet bring the sound and spirit of the Plexi era into a compact Studio-format rig, pairing switchable 20W/5W all-valve power with two 12" Celestion V-Type speakers. Four high- and low-sensitivity inputs and bridgeable Normal and High Treble channels provide the interactive control and expressive response associated with classic Marshall designs, while a switchable series effects loop adds modern pedalboard flexibility. Draped in a Cosmic Black & Purple Swirl design inspired by Hendrix's fascination with space and the cosmos, this commemorative half stack turns an iconic musical partnership into a striking platform for a new generation of players.

Plexi-Inspired Tube Tone With Switchable 20W/5W Power

The SV20H JMH head draws inspiration from Marshall's legendary 1959 amplifier, bringing the bright cleans, muscular crunch and raw, harmonically rich overdrive of the Plexi era into a more manageable Studio-format design. Two EL34 power tubes and an ECC83-based preamp provide the all-valve foundation, with a power reduction switch moving between 20W and 5W operation for greater flexibility across different playing environments. Separate Normal and High Treble channel volumes let players shape two complementary sides of the amp's voice, while four high- and low-sensitivity inputs allow the channels to be used individually or bridged together for blended tonal combinations. Treble, Middle, Bass and Presence controls provide familiar Marshall tone shaping across the full range of the amp.

Matching 2x12 Cab Delivers Full, Articulate Celestion Tone

The matching SV212 JMH cabinet completes the half stack with two 12" Celestion V-Type speakers, each rated at 70W for a combined 140W of power handling. The V-Types balance vintage-inspired warmth with clear articulation, giving clean passages definition while allowing driven tones to retain punch and detail as the SV20H JMH is pushed. An 8-ohm configuration provides the proper match for the head, while the vertically oriented 2x12" format delivers a substantial speaker platform without the size of a traditional 4x12" cabinet. Built in Marshall's UK factory alongside the head, the SV212 JMH gives the anniversary rig a cohesive sound, appearance and performance-focused design.

Cosmic Black & Purple Swirl Celebrates Hendrix's Creative Vision

The Marshall Hendrix Studio JMH Half Stack turns its anniversary story into a visual statement with a coordinated Cosmic Black & Purple Swirl treatment across the head and cabinet. Psychedelic black and purple patterns draw inspiration from the space, science-fiction and celestial themes that fascinated Hendrix and found their way into his creative world. Custom silver details and a bespoke anniversary badge add contrast to the swirling design, giving the rig a presentation created specifically for the Marshall and Hendrix 60th anniversary celebration. Rather than recreating a particular piece of Hendrix's historical equipment, the design looks to the ideas surrounding his artistry for a contemporary tribute with an identity all its own.

Six Decades Later, the Marshall and Hendrix Legacy Plays On

Few artist-and-amplifier pairings have left a deeper mark on electric guitar than Jimi Hendrix and Marshall. Hendrix pushed volume, distortion and feedback into new creative territory, while towering Marshall stacks became inseparable from his groundbreaking sound and commanding stage presence. Their partnership began in London in 1966, when drummer Mitch Mitchell introduced Hendrix to Jim Marshall, and continued through the rise of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and his landmark Woodstock performance in 1969. The Marshall Hendrix Studio JMH Half Stack marks 60 years since that relationship began, channeling its spirit through Plexi-inspired all-valve tone, a Celestion-loaded 2x12" cabinet and a cosmic anniversary design. Built in the UK for today's players, it's a tribute to a historic partnership and the boundary-pushing creativity it helped amplify.
