RIP Mr. Marshall, you created a well designed product albeit with the known limitations an amp/speaker for audio generation.

But what makes Marshall amplifiers great is their distortion sound. And all but the very earliest Marshall amps were designed very intentionally to distort. It wasn't just the result of technical limitations.

I know some care for that distortion and given how many fuzz boxes were sold which created 50% distortion it may be a lot of people care for that.

I grew up with Hi-Fi and Stereo systems where you did everything possible to eliminate distortion to reproduce the sound of the original instruments.

There were a bunch of dope smokin hippys who equated distortion with very high decibels as that is what you got when you ran the gain up higher than the amp/speaker could handle.

A lot of money was and continues to be spent on questionable music with almost unlimited distortion and the sound of real instruments is completely lost.

Fortunately in our society we can choose what we spend our money on, (at least until Odumbo tells us what music to buy) and there is enough choices for all of us.

Distortion??? No thanks it is like pencils in my ears. I like the occasional very loud music, which the pipe organ or orchestra, or band can deliver in almost unlimited db Levels with no distortion whatsoever.

There will always be people with more money than brains or taste but it is their money and taste is just individual taste so bless anyone who can make money with mediocrity.
