Marshall celebrates 60 Years of Hendrix with a cool 1959 JMH Half Stack Amp with included Dunlop Fuzz Face in same design
Key Points
Marshall has released a 60th-anniversary Hendrix-inspired limited edition: a hand-wired 1959 JMH 100W valve amp head and matching 1960 AJMH 4x12” angled cabinet, finished in a purple oil-on-water design, plus a Dunlop Fuzz Face pedal in the same design. The bundle is aimed at collectors and players with deep pockets — priced at £3,800 (UK), €4,400 (Europe) or $5,000 (USA). The 1959 JMH head is a 100W, 2-channel (bridgeable) unit with Volume I/II, Treble, Middle, Bass and Presence controls, 4 instrument inputs (high/low sensitivity), 2 speaker outputs selectable for 4/8/16Ω, preamp valves: 2×ECC83 + 1×ECC83 phase splitter, and 4×EL34 power valves. The 1960 AJMH cab is a 4×12" angled cabinet loaded with Celestion G12H-30 speakers, rated 120W and 15Ω mono. The Dunlop Fuzz Face included has simple Loud and Foxey controls. It’s a high-end, artisan hand-wired Marshall package intended to reproduce that classic Jimi Hendrix tone with matching aesthetics.
We get a cool 60’s Hendrix inspired purple oil-on-water design across classic hand-wired Marshall Amp Head, Cab, and matching Dunlop Fuzz Face pedal.
One for those with deep pockets - as this will cost you £3,800 in the UK where they are hand-wired / made, €4,400 in Europe, and $5,000 in the USA. Had I unlimited funds and space - I would possibly spring for one of these cool editions. While I’ve always been a combo guy really - and a 2-amp stereo guy too - with Marshall style on the Left Channel and an equivalent Vox AC30 style / ish on the right channel.
This amp doesn’t really fit my space or model as such - but had I won the lottery and moved into a larger house I would for sure not mind springing for one of these. They look so good - I’m sure they will sell well among those upper echelon Marshall fans. And the matching Fuzz Face really seals the deal.
Unquestionably cool all-round - a proper artisan hand-wired amp - delivering the full attitude of that classic Jimi Hendrix sound!
