I played in a metal band back in the 80's and had a 250w valve Marshall with 2 4x12 cabs which did a great job of permanently damaging my hearing. RIP Jim Marshall, you may have gone but your stacks will live on forever.

I wasn't paying attention to his name, but his amps are the stuff of legend. And they're stilll desirable today. Both our guitarists use 100-watt Marshall heads and half stacks for club work but have the other halves just in case we play outdoors. The rythm guitarist/songwriter recently got hold of an older tube head, and he has to be careful in the practice room so he doesn't burst eardrums.

Thank you Jim Marshall for what you gave the electric music world, and if you're not remembered for long your legacy will live forever.
