Dr. Jim Marshall OBE, Creator of the Marshall Amp, Dead at 88Jim Marshall helped define rock music both sonically and visually. When, at the request of Pete Townshend and Ritchie Blackmore, he created an affordable amplifier to compete with the popular American amplifiers of the late 1950's and early 1960's, the "Marshall Stack" and the British sound was born.
Marshall's contribution to rock 'n roll cannot be exaggerated, so have a drink for him tonight.
