As Clapton and Hendrix clearly demonstrated, an electric guitar plugged into a wall of dimed Plexis is the definitive sound of classic rock.

Ping to you for the FR headbangers’ ping list.
A number of years ago a young woman told me she had gone to a rock concert over the weekend. “Was it good?” I asked. “Oh yeah,” she replied, “We had blood coming out of our ears!”
Isn’t he the guy who ran 70 yards the wrong way for the Minnesota Vikings?
The inventor of Marshall Law??
RIP Mr. Marshall, you created a well designed product albeit with the known limitations an amp/speaker for audio generation.
A pipe organ can run at full volume all day long with ZERO distortion which cannot be said of ANY amp/speaker combination as there is always some inter-modulation distortion.
Unfortunately there are a few instruments a Theater Organ cannot play/emulate and one of those very few is a guitar.
With a 10HP blower I have the potential of well over 7000 watts of distortion free sound.
Loved Rock before the electronic guitar and the DELIBERATE distortion introduced by the Fuzz Box.
Also, the beloved “Wall Of Sound” is only wonderful for hiding the voices of humans and individual instruments be they good or bad voices.
But as anyone who has seen a McDonalds/Burger King/Microsoft bottom line, mediocrity can be very profitable.
The hearing aid industry owes this man an enormous debt.
RIP Mr. Marshall.
He died and went to 11...

Marshall was no doubt the definitive guitar amp. Sunn made the first bass guitar amp that couldn’t be drowned out by the Marshalls and Fenders. Now Sunn is just part of the Fender empire.

"Anything! Just play it loud! Okay?"
