Book Description: Official Marshall Guide! Marshall was born in 1962 on the western outskirts of London. Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrick, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore... The king of guitar amps, loved by the great musicians who established both sides of rock guitar and made rock history. In the mid-1960s, rock changed dramatically with the explosive sound and look of Marshall. What would rock be like if Marshall didn't exist? Rock without Marshall is unthinkable! Originally published in 1993 as the most comprehensive book on Marshall at the time, eThe History of Marshallf (untranslated into Japanese) was significantly revised and expanded to commemorate Marshall's 50th anniversary, published in 2013 as eThe History of Marshall The First Fifty Yearsf. And now, the Japanese edition is finally here! Packed with hundreds of items, primarily rare pieces, color photographs of key figures in Marshall's history (many published in Japan for the first time), historical documents, vintage catalogs, promotional items, and fascinating testimonials from musicians and insiders, it vividly details the turbulent life of Jim Marshall and the legendary gear that rocked the era for 50 years. Fully supported by Marshall in its production, this is the essential Marshall Bible for all lovers of rock and guitar! gJim, it's gotta be louder!h gOkay, Pete. We'll do it. We'll make it bloody loud!h (Conversation between Pete Townshend and Jim Marshall, from this book) "When it comes to amplifiers for rock enf roll, Marshall is the only one that really stands out. That's how Marshall has reigned supreme." ? Slash (Comment from this book)

Book Description: Marshall amps have defined the sound of rock for a generation, boasting such notable users as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy Page. This book explores the British company responsible for that sweet overdrive sound - the company that originated the amp "stack" - tracing the impressive lineage of its valve ("tube" to us Yanks!) guitar amps. Doyle is the acknowledged authority on the subject, and here he combines detailed chronologies of the various model and serial numbers, straightforward explanations of their features and construction, and aesthetic evaluations of the results. The book is dotted with the names of rock luminaries and peppered with photos - well over 100 black-and-white ones, plus a 32-page color section and a 32-page full-color appendix that reproduces all of the Marshall catalogues of the sixties.
