In order to make the Super 100JH identical to the 1966, 100-Watt heads Jimi Hendrix used, the circuit, cosmetics, construction, sound and all-important dynamic characteristics needed to entirely authentic. Marshall have made a strenuous effort to ensure authenticity (for example where possible they have sourced components and materials from the original manufacturers) and included research and discussions with roadies and technicians from the period.
Hendrix originally played through a Marshall stack for the first time while in London in 1966. Through his drummer Mitch Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix was introduced to James Marshall. In October of 1966 Jimi visited the Marshall factory. When Jimi left Jim's store he had purchased four 100 Watt Marshall stacks.
Hendrix was quoted saying "Meeting Jim was beyond groovy for me. It was such a relief to talk to someone who knows and cares about sound.”
