My condolences to the Marshall family. It's sad to see such a legend pass on. RIP "Father of Loud"!

Ah, a sad moment.

On the plus side, Jim not only knew how to talk to musicians, he was also a very effective businessman - unlike some of his competitors. Part of that was that he set up an extremely fine, well run company which leads the market today and is well positioned to continue to do so after his passing. That's a big part of the guy's achievement.

RIP, Jim Marshall.

Cheers - C
