Marshall Amplification 1923 - Manual (Page 2)

From the Chairman
Congratulations on your purchase of this very special Marshall
amplifier – the 1923.
Firstly, I must say that I feel very honoured that the team at
Marshall have created this amplifier to commemorate my 85th
birthday. I am simply thrilled with the design, the quality of
craftsmanship and of course the way it sounds – big, bold and
brimming full of Marshall tone.
Throughout my 85 years and in particular my past five decades in
the amplifier business, I have witnessed many changes in the
world of music. I have seen trends come and go, whole new
genres created and old ones revived. But whatever the musical
style of the last 46 years there has always been a Marshall amp to
suit – and there’s a good reason for this. When I made the first
Marshall amplifier in the early 1960s it was built to satisfy the
demands from guitarists for a ‘bigger sound’. I’m pleased to say
that this ethos of listening to the requirements and aspirations of
guitarists is as important today as it has ever been, remaining an
integral part of our continuing amplifier development.
I would like to thank the whole Marshall team for marking my 85th
year in such a poignant way and extend my gratitude to all
Marshall staff, past and present, for their hard work, skill and
craftsmanship. I have been privileged to have met many talented
musicians over the years, some of whom have become close
friends, and to them I would like to extend my gratitude for their
inspiration and friendship. I would also like to thank my family for
the years of love and support they have shown me, and last, but
by no means least, you the guitarist . . . it’s your passion for music
that drives me and the Marshall team to carry on creating new
innovative amplifiers and speaker cabinets.
I sincerely hope that this Limited Special Edition 1923 brings you
countless hours of playing pleasure and I would like to welcome
you to the ever increasing Marshall family.
Yours Sincerely
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE
