Book-History Of Marshall

Product details

The History of Marshall Valve Guitar Amplifiers 1962-1992.

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 guitar amps. Michael 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 evaluation of the results. This book is doted with the names of rock luminaries and peppered with hundreds of black-and-white photos, plus a 32-page full color appendix that reproduces all of the Marshall catalogs of the Sixties.
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 does a great job of covering all of the bases that make up Marshall amplifiers. The provision of schematics is really helpful in troubleshooting and just seeing how the amp works. The color section is a joy to look at, and the reprinted catalogs are as well. A great book at any price.
