Open the catalog to page 2No matter who you are; no matter where you are from; or what your background is, one thing can unite us all – music. It’s self-expression; it’s feeling the connection; it’s laughing; it’s crying; it’s inspiring. It’s concerts; it’s festivals; it’s the time of your life. Music is magical. We love everything about it – the people, the scene, the lifestyle. We live for music.

Open the catalog to page 4Almost all Marshall valve amps and cabs are made in Britain at the Marshall production facility in Bletchley, England, where they have been made continuously since 1966. Every amp and cab made at Bletchley is made with passion and precision, with a human touch that’s rare in today’s manufacturing processes: precision wiring, speaker fitting, and amp and cab covering are all done by hand. It is this attention to detail that sets Marshall apart. TO DISCOVER MORE ABOUT OUR SKILLED CRAFTSMANSHIP AND BUILD PROCESS GO TO PAGE 34. 6 | Marshall 2015 Brochure
