The music world lost a legend on
April 5, 2012, with the passing of
Jim Marshall. Music’s most celebrated names like Hendrix, Page,
Townshend, Clapton, Van Halen,
and countless others, depended on
Marshall’s creations—for defining both their individual tone and
bringing rock music to entirely new
levels. Commanding autograph
lines at industry events that dwarfed
those of big-name artists, the
“Father of Loud” was an icon in the
truest sense, to both pro and aspiring musicians and to those who just
love rock ’n’ roll. Rest in peace Mr.
Marshall, and thank you.
