To celebrate 50 years of punk defiance, Marshall has teamed up with the legendary Steve Jones to unleash a limited-edition tribute that is as loud and disruptive as the Sex Pistols themselves.
We are beyond excited to announce that this piece of rock history is coming soon to Guitarlicious!
Why the JCM800 is the King of Punk
The Marshall JCM800 2203 isn't just an amplifier; it is the backbone of high-gain rock.
When Steve Jones plugged into his Marshall, he created a wall of sound that defined a generation. This 50th Anniversary edition captures that exact aggressive bite and uncompromising power.
Key Features of the 50th Anniversary Series
"The moment I saw the pink and yellow casing, I knew this wasn't just another amp. It’s a riot in a box! Hearing that raw JCM800 roar coming through those Celestion speakers... it’s pure, unadulterated punk magic." — Staff Quote from Guitarlicious
1. Iconic Visuals: Dressed in the unmistakable pink and yellow colorway from the Never Mind The Bollocks album cover.
2. Hand-Built in the UK: Each unit is crafted with precision at the legendary Bletchley factory in England.
3. Strictly Limited: Only 81 units are being produced worldwide—making this a holy grail for collectors.
4. Massive Projection: Paired with the iconic 1960A 4x12" angled cabinet to ensure your sound hits the back of the room.
The Anniversary Lineup: Two Paths to Rebellion
While the heart of the tone remains the same, this release offers two distinct visual configurations depending on where you source your "anarchy."
1. Marshall JCM800 2203 Half Stack (Pink Edition)
This is the "loudest" visual statement. It features a Pink Tolex head and cabinet with a Yellow Grille cloth, staying true to the primary colors of the Pistols' debut.
100W All-Valve Power: Driven by four EL34 power tubes for that classic British crunch.
Single Channel Simplicity: No menus, no distractions—just raw, plug-and-play aggression.
Series FX Loop: Perfect for modern players who want to add delays or reverbs without muddying the preamp.
2. Marshall JCM800 2203 Half Stack (Yellow Edition)
A slightly rarer aesthetic variation, this version flips the script with Yellow Tolex and Pink Grille cloth. It provides the same legendary tone but with a visual twist that stands out in any collection.
Celestion G12T-75 Speakers: Four speakers designed to handle high volumes while maintaining a tight low end.
High/Low Sensitivity Inputs: Allows you to toggle between classic rock crunch and modern, saturated drive.
Commeorative Badge: Features a custom 50th Anniversary Sex Pistols badge to certify its authenticity.
Get Ready for the Launch
This is more than just an amp; it's a statement of defiance. With only a handful of units available globally, these will not stay on our floor for long.
Stay tuned to the Guitarlicious website and our social media channels for pre-order details and the official arrival date. Don't miss your chance to own the sound that started a riot!
