Built in collaboration with the Sex Pistols and their guitarist Steve Jones, the special-edition stack is clad in the pink and yellow colourway inspired by the band’s Never Mind the Bollocks record.

“The JCM800 became a defining voice of British punk,” said Steph Carter, Culture Marketing Director at Marshall.

“Working with Steve to reimagine this amp for the band’s 50th anniversary has been a powerful tribute to the sound that changed everything.”

Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols added: “I’ve been using Marshall for a long time now and the 800 series for me are my workhorse – always reliable, always consistent. I like to keep things simple, as the sayin’ goes. It’s only rock ’n’ roll.”

The collaboration came about via the Sex Pistols’ longtime merch partner Bravado.

“With Never Mind the Bollocks, the Sex Pistols embodied the zeitgeist of punk rock’s sound and aesthetic in a game-changing way,” said Matt Young, President and CEO of Bravado.

“This collaboration with the band and Marshall celebrates that moment in a loud and irreverent way and we think musicians and collectors all over the world are going to love it.”
