RIP Jim Marshall creator of the marshal Amp.

[Al Botross]

- remember the marshal stack?

Jim Marshall, whose pioneering Marshall amplifiers were behind some of the biggest names in rock and roll — Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend of The Who, and Eric Clapton — and who is considered “the founder of loud” and responsible for the sound of rock, has died.
From Marshall Amplification: “Your memory; the music and joy your amps have brought to countless millions for the past five decades; and that world-famous, omnipresent script logo that proudly bears your name will always live on.”

"Even in his 70s, when he was already suffering from some serious health problems, he thought nothing of hopping a plane to catch an Iron Maiden concert."

How cool is that.

First I have heard of this. What a legend, he will be missed but his legacy will live on forever

 

[Hold Your Fire]

As influential as Les Paul.
Let's be honest, in, A LOT of cases, one, does not happen, without the other!

Ritchie Blackmore and Pete Townshend, only started the trend.
Many followed!!!

RIP, and respect.

Solid wall of sound and he made it possible for many musicians to get that tone and fuzz just right. Nothing like the tube amp. Respect. NS
