Marshall - A community of Melophiles
Pretty much every music lover’s preference, we have all heard a Marshall roar at some point or another. Celebrated by some of the world’s finest musicians, Marshall has been a mark for excellence.
Created by founders Jim Marshall OBE and his son Terry, Marshall’s been dominating the music world for more than 60 years now! Jim’s journey began when he explored his love for music.
He was an exceptional drummer who played professionally for almost 20 years. Later on, along with his family, Jim went on to open a music store in London. The store dealt in a number of musical instruments and attracted emerging talent. When the more established music stores catered to jazz instruments, Jim made the most out of this opportunity.
Jim targeted the rock community! He supplied the alternate crowd and his business gained momentum. The store did become one of the leading amplifier stores in that region but there was still a challenge to overcome. The guitarists were not happy with the tones of the amplifiers. This pushed Jim, Terry & Ken ( the then service engineer) to go all in.
After a number of combinations, different mechanics, lots of experiments, and passionate hard work, the NUMBER ONE was curated. With one of its kind, this first of many JTM45 amps attracted 23 orders on its very first day of release.
