Amplifier pioneer dies at 88

[Mr. Daystar]

Jim Marshall, the creator of what is probably the second most recognizable image of rock and roll, only surpassed by the Les Paul, has died at 88 years of age. In my opinion, a good portion of the music many of us know and love, would not sound like it does, without his miraculous creation.

A genius dies. . . I'm just saying

You're telling us, you've never heard of a Marshall stack, or Marshall tube amps?

Correct. I never heard of him.

idiot.

anyway, marshalls are bad ass. they basically gave the pedal a run for its money. some amazing distortions came straight out of a marshall.

ive never owned one, but played on them. i use roland/boss normally.

There was a show on the Smithsonian Channel last weekend called Electrified - The Guitar Revolution. There was a part discussing amps and their evolution.

Of course I've heard of Marshall amps, I just didn't know that the founder was a Jim or was even still with us before yesterday.

I heard he spontaneously combusted after listening to some of the trash today using his stuff.

 

[STDiva]

Never heard of him.

Of course you haven't. He's not a racist, redneck shitbag with a YouTube account.

 

[PirateKing]

He's transcended 10 and gone up to 11 now.

i recently saw an amp somewhere with an 11 on it..
