Jim Marshall (29 July 1923 – 5 April 2012) known as "The Father of Loud" or "The Lord of Loud," was an English businessman and pioneer of guitar amplification.
Marshall Plan
The "Marshall stack", a wall of black, vinyl-clad amp cabinets, one atop the other, was seen as the physical embodiment of rock's power, majesty and excess. Soon after he started production, musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page were using his equipment.– adapted from Wikipedia
Jim Marshall, called the “Lord of Loud,”
Developed products which he vowed
When heard by an arena crowd,
Would leave attendees deaf, (but wowed).
“Get rid of other bric-a-brac,
Don’t ever try a homemade hack,
Instead your roadies should unpack
The amps that make a Marshall stack!”
