HISTORY: 1993-PRESENT

In 1993, Marshall got the contract to build the reissue of the Vox AC-30, which Marshall was in direct competition with back in the '60s! In the early 1990s Marshall introduced Valvestate, which are hybrid amplifiers (tube preamp, solid-state power section) with the Marshall sound. In 1998, Marshall released the JCM-2000 Series that included two and three channel amplifiers. In 2006, they celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the JTM45/100 head with two limited edition stacks - the 40th Anniversary and the Jimi Hendrix Signature Stack. Marshall has also produced reissue and hand-wired models that are all based on original designs from the 1960s. Currently, Marshall offers a full range of tube, hybrid, and solid-state amplifiers including guitar amps, bass amps, and acoustic amps. Marshall also produces a line of effects pedals and their famous Powerbrake. Jim Marshall continues to regularly attend NAMM shows to sign posters, shirts, and calendars. In late 2010, Marshall announced that they were parting ways with longtime U.S. distributor Korg, and were going to distribute in the U.S. by themselves as Marshall USA. Jim Marshall passed away on April 5, 2012 at the age of 88 after a battle with cancer. For more information, visit Marshall's website or contact them directly.
