You know where you went for raw, fuzzy power, as so many big names went, since 1960,   "THE MARSHALL".
Jim passed away at 88.
Here's some more:

I just read that on another site - sad news, indeed.
I'm proud to say that I've owned his products for 30 some years and they've been great - nothing compares to the Marshall sound as far as I'm concerned.
If only mine went up to 11...

I've long known something Jim Marshall recently found out for himself first-hand:  God runs a Hiwatt.  :wink:

Respect to a rock Titan who left an indelible mark on our music.
