their case would have been helped by testament from the likes of
Hendrix,

** You are rewording my post - leave it ALONE !!!



I wasn't rewording it - I was re-quoting it to actually AGREE with you,



** Those are NOT my words, that is NOT what I posted and NOT what I
think.

You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!




You really *are* STUPID to the nth degree Philip. Do you realise what a
pedantic dickhead you are making yourself sound ? Again.




Hendrix used Marshalls on stage, AFAIK that is all he did.



What, he didn't play through them ?


** FFS - you bloody IDIOT !!!

What does the word " used " imply ?????????????

My GOD you are a stinking pommy ****HEAD !!




Ah, ok. I get it now. He played them on stage, but secretly, he hated the
sound they made. Obviously, they did nothing for his sound, and it was pure
luck that they didn't leave him total obscurity. I expect when he wasn't on
stage, he probably used Fenders in his bathroom to get the right degree of
reverb. And in the studio ? Well, something else obviously, as you wouldn't
want your records to sound like your stage performances, would you ? I mean
someone might actually have recognised who he was, and bought his records
and made him famous ...







Marshall Amplification has been in business for some 50 years, and I
don't care how much they have 'created' a name for themselves, if the
equipment was as poor as you believe, they would not have survived in
such a competitive and limited specialist market.

** You ****wit opinion - contrary to all the facts.



I know that we'll probably never agree on this Phil, but I have no axe
to grind here, nor any particular allegiance to the Marshall company,
other than that their products keep earning me a living - but then so
do Fender and Trashdown and Soldano and many others.

** So you have NEVER worked out why Marshalls blow EL34 valves and OTs
all the time ?

When the most other brands do not.


I just thought it appropriate to comment here amongst fellow engineers,
on the passing of someone who has been instrumental in keeping valve
technology alive in this equipment,

** That is where you are 100% wrong.

Jim Marshall never had anything to do with the electronics design of
amps sold under his name.



Read what I said. Did I ever say that he had anything to do with physical
design ? He owned and ran the company. He was an iconic figure well known
throughout the world of musical amplification. His company, under his
leadership, continued to build valve amplifiers. Ergo, he was
instrumental in keeping the technology alive (through his company)

Manufacture has been carried out by others since 1980s with Jim only
acting as a figure head for marketing purposes.

Of course that's the case.



** Which COMPLETELY destroys all your asinine points.




It does no such thing if you don't selectively cut other bits out to help
your pathetically weak rant ...

You really never got beyond 3rd grade reading did you ? Did the retard
school that you obviously went to ever teach comprehension in amongst its
English Language lessons ? I rather suspect not, otherwise you wouldn't
manage to misunderstand everything everyone says to you in every post. You
know what your problem is Philip ? You're so busy frothing at the mouth that
you never actually stop to consider how stupid everyone thinks you are with
your CAPITAL LETTERS, exclamation marks !!!!!!!!!!!!!! and idiotic stars
************* to say nothing of your child-like bucket mouth. And not only
on here. I see that you are trotting out the same crap, all neatly cut and
pasted because you can't actually come up with more than one original
thought at a time, over on S.E.D ...



You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!


He owns the ****ing company for Christ's sake.



** He sold control of Marshall Amplification in the 1980s and remained
only in a figure head role.




Sold it to whom ? And even if he did, his entire family work in executive
roles in the company, so still retain overall control. They have a factory
in the UK. It is still where it was originally, just down the road from
where I live. And it's 'figurehead' all in one word ...




Jim has been to Sydney once or twice and in the early 80s was a guest
speaker at a music gear convention. Before Jim spoke, the MD advised the
audience that there were to be NO questions about the famous
unreliability of Marshalls cos Jim was not personally involved in their
manufacture.


And the point is ??



** Backs up everything I said.




Backs up nothing. You are delusional, thick, and a total unmitigated ****.
As ever.



You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!



Takes one to know one. Now do as I always have to tell you to, Philip. Crawl
back into your pit, close the curtains, take your meds, and don't come back
until you feel better. Run along now, child ...
