The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Marshall was founded in England. They make amplifiers. The amplifier changed rock music. Jimi Hendrix played through Marshall stacks. The sound became the sound of rock itself. Today Marshall amplifiers are everywhere. They appear in six thousand six hundred forty-nine tracked brands. Electronics ranks them number fourteen. The brand spans continents now. Guitarists still choose Marshall. The tone endures. It always has.
