Marshall Unveils Exciting New Products at NAMM 2025

Marshall has made a triumphant return to the NAMM Show, unveiling three innovative product lines that promise to deliver the brand's legendary sound to guitarists worldwide. The new releases include the Modified Series, the Studio 900 Series, and the Overdrive Pedals Collection, each inspired by Marshall’s iconic amplifier heritage and rock ‘n’ roll legacy.

Modified Series: Factory-Modified Legends

For the first time ever, Marshall is offering factory-modified versions of two of its most celebrated amplifiers: the JCM800 and the 1959. Crafted at the company’s Milton Keynes, UK factory, the Modified Series amps incorporate modern enhancements to meet the needs of today’s guitarists while preserving the classic Marshall sound.

  • JCM800 Modified: Delivers heavier distortion and a tighter sound, perfect for rock and metal players.

  • 1959 Modified: Offers rich overdrive tones at manageable volumes, with sweeter cleans for added versatility.

This series pays homage to Marshall’s history of amp modifications, reimagining their classic designs with more tonal flexibility, distortion, and sustain.

Studio 900 Series: Compact Yet Powerful

The Studio 900 Series brings the iconic JCM900 sound—favored by artists like Billie Joe Armstrong, Dave Navarro, and Noel Gallagher—into a smaller, more portable form. Available as a Head or Combo, the Studio 900 is designed for home use, studio sessions, and smaller gigs.

Key features include:

  • Switchable channels for tonal versatility.

  • Real spring reverb for rich soundscapes.

  • A three-level attenuation control (20W/10W/5W), making it ideal for bedroom practice and live performances alike.

Overdrive Pedals Collection: Legendary Tones in a Compact Format

Marshall has distilled the essence of its iconic amps into a collection of overdrive pedals. Each pedal captures the sound of a specific amplifier, such as the 1959, DSL, JCM800, JCM900, and JVM, offering guitarists a compact, pedalboard-friendly way to achieve legendary tones.

  • All-analog circuitry ensures authentic sound reproduction.

  • True bypass design preserves signal clarity.

  • Crafted for durability, these pedals bring vintage warmth, British crunch, and high-gain tones to any rig.
