Marshall Group and the Marshall Amps factory in 2023 reminded me instantly of my visit 11 years earlier in 2011, and of course I drew comparisons to then and now. Marshall are always really great hosts and that comes right down from the top of the company... they love to see you. At that time they employed 'Phil Wells' a really great guy that worked there for at least 40 years and he was a gold mine of info. He retired in end of 2019 sadly.
Today, in this factory tour, Marshall used many different presenters to represent their own expertise and that generally worked very well - you are seeing the (often) team leaders of the particular section and discussing first hand with them about their clear knowledge and expertise. It was great to hear the accumulation of all that skill from those years at Marshall Amps.
Of course in more recent times since 2020 (a watershed for many companies) I'm sure that for any maker things are harder than they used to be, and certainly in my own opinion the simulators of amps will have a slow burning effect on sales. But thankfully for the time being many of those products from others are not as simple as a Marshall amp to use - just turn it on, wait 30 seconds and you as a musician will be playing really great tones - not some half assed excuse that needs three months to get to grips with the software, just a simple amplifier, yet the most powerful and true tone for guitarists that you could ever have. Built to rock!
In the first short section of this Marshall factory tour the audio was compromised a little, but from then on I generally solved all that so its all good video and good audio from there on. When you get to the Marshall studio, sadly they would not use the provided microphone, so the audio is not loud.
The final section is the Marshall live room and stage area which I'm sure many have seen before - for me it reminds me of Gary Moore playing on the stage (its on YT somewhere) - very memorable.
Finally Terry Marshall (link above) discussed a number of topics that were very enlightening and certainly better than what you read about in the sometimes wrong music press. Watch it and learn!

Yes I agree - you know I keep on looking for amps to review as many guys really do want to see them. But finding new tube amps is getting harder. Digital for me certainly is not king (so far) and Marshall and others I'm sure find it harder. But the factory tour was not bad.

R.I.P. to the KING!!! Regarding the Factory. These guys sure do take a lot of pride in their work. God Bless them! I expect to see a LOT more garbage being sold in the near future. After all, this is where Zound shines the most; in Bluetooth branding speakers. For people who like the Marshall look but, do not actually play an instrument. They just like to listen to Coachella through their Marshall Bluetooth speaker. When I was coming up in the 1980's and 90's a Marshall tube amp was one of the biggest wishes and dreams a lot of us guitar players could come up with. I feel like soon we will hear things from Marshall like Gibson's "play authentic" campaign. Breaks my heart to hear of this sale. Also breaks my heart to hear about drums being manufactured too. I could go on and on but, I will not.
@tonymckenziecom Жыл бұрын
That is possible, but Terry Marshall in the interview I did on the same day says differently here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oc6hdr2Iu6ubeps.html hope it helps... The drums were being made in 2011? and had been for some time thanks to Jim Marshall who originally as you know was a drummer. Bear in mind that the original 'partnership' between both companies had been going on for something like 10+ years. Terry Marshall said that the sale should have been completed years ago but they just never did it. Check that interview and he really describes this aspect in detail - its always better than reading it all on some internet site that can get things wrong...

I hope this Marshall "sale" yields some distribution benefits in the USA. I realize we are going to pay more than the UK, but the markup here is insanity. I really really really hope Marshall will one day at least build a small service center in the United States that is company ran. The network of "Authorized Service" places here are a joke. The two closest to me are people's houses. 🤣 This video was fantastic Tony. I always thought Marshall was much bigger than they actually are. Let's hope they stay true to that vision (and give us a new flagship soon despite my love for my JVM).

Great job as always Tony. Very nice to see Marshall is modernizing but keeps the traditional side as well. I happened to notice at the 7:15 minute mark at the fancy solder box there was a "lead free" sticker up top that was applied upside-down. That was amusing and put a smile on my face. Amp techs generally hate it still. It was mandated for electronics in 2006 by the EU, forcing all amp builders or electronics etc., to use it if they wanted to sell their products in the EU. Most solder joint failures have more to do with factors other than the solder itself. Marshall forever.!!

I have had amps serviced cabinets recovered and nothing but excellent service and warm communication from Marshall, I personally wouldn’t have a bad word said about them, 5 Star amps and service . I once had an original Class 5 “ the ones that had a small rattle” i bought this used they couldn’t solve the issues so they handed me a new in the box one , i was at the Factory and mentioned i bought it used , answer was no problem, just amazing service . Again great video Tony and hope you and yours are well. Cheers The Real John Smith 😊😉

Glad you liked the video - did you see the one where I interview Terry Marshall? That is very interesting too and Terry confirms that the 'sale' of Marshall to the other 'partner' company is NOT a problem and he even said it should have been done years ago - they worked as partners for I think 12 years...

I've had brilliant service from marshall directly over the years I took a JMP 1 pre amp into the factory for repair, they said they would test it as the fault didn't show up, so I booked a factory tour for the next weekend while they tested it further, on my return they told me they never found the fault , so to be on the safe side they ordered a new board, which has all the sub boards attached So you get a complete new pre amp built into your old case! Also marshall work to lean just in time manufacturing so every amp has a customer, so my board went through the Marshall factory with my name on it! After the brilliant factory tour and buying a few t shirts I picked up my JMP 1 and my jaw dropped when I looked at the bill! The service guy said because they couldn't identify the fault they only charged me for the labour!! It was only £40!! So I got a brand new amp that were £500 at the time! Now thats what I call service, and by the way I wasn't the original owner either so I had no guarantee. Brilliant company

This was very interesting to see, thanks for going and taking the tour. I gotta agree, hand-built is the best way, and produces the best product, regardless if it's a 100 watt 4x12 Marshall half-stack, or a toothbrush! When Hartley Peavey used to have the amps all built in Meridian, MS, USA, those amps would last forever. They were a different animal than a Marshall, no doubt. But when 'corporations' start hiring young pukes who just want to 'make thier mark' and have no quams about 'Fixing something that ain't broke', then you wind up with a company whose once 'rock solid' reputation for a top-notch quality product now becoming marginalized if not right in the $#!T-can. Marshalls aren't 'cheap' here in the States, never really were, even when I was growing up in the Late 1970s & 1980s and afterward. But if you could manage to get your hands on a JCM 800 without breaking the bank, you were doing REALLY good. This'll pi$$ off you purists, but a Peavey 6505 is a pretty damn good amp. However, like comparing a Stratocaster to a Les Paul, the Peavey 6505 'ain't' a 'Marshall'. Only a Marshall can get the 'Marshall'-sound. But the 6505 comes DAMN close, in my estimation, without breaking the bank. Would love to be able to afford to have a custom 'tolex' covered 4x12 2203 or a 68 SLP reissue Marshall, though! Would have the basketweave grill cloth on it, with Greenback 25s loaded in the slanted cab. I just don't have "4 grand, U.S." to spare rt now. One can dream though. Cool tour, thanks again!

Well, I used to own a number of Peavey amps... I distictly remember the Peavey Deuce' (I think it was called hat wrked fine for me, but I also owned a Peave Mace head... and that was 160 watt head with the tubes vertically mounted upside down in the amp - a recipe for heat is an understatement. It cooked the PCB mounted sockets to a crisp along with the PCB itself. A really unreliable amp, whereas the Deuce worked fine. However, the Marshall stuff (bearing in mind I come from Marshall land, is low cost and never let me down at all since about 1971 with many/most of the heads I have used over the years. Of course I have seen Marshall amps failed (often due to age and no maintenance) through misuse etc. and any amp will fail through that. But look after the amp and it looks after you. Thanks for watching this short(ish) tour, and on my channel I have a 2 part real in depth tour with Phil Wells and that tour of Marshall is probably one of the best you will ever see... appreciated your post too.

Absolutely Magnificent Tour. I recently contacted Fender in Scottsdale, Arizona, and asked of they had any video tours or videos of their amp factory. According to their response, they do not and don't plan on making any informative videos, like this one. Sadly, 3 years ago I sold a Marshall JCM900 12x2 100/50 watt combo amp, that I bought new in 1994. I'll buy another Marshall, either used or new one of these days. My thanks to you and all the people at Marshall for this wonderful tour and the great work, with pride, that they do. However; Most of Marshall's amps are made in Vietnam these days and only the ones in the $2+,000 to $4,000 dollar range are actually made in England. Bottom line is, if the average person Can Afford It, it wasn't made in England. Even their tube amps. Fender too, China, etc. My new Fender '65 Super Reverb RI, with Alnico Speakers was made in California, U.S.A for just over $2,000. Same goes for the other big name brands. Difficult to find "The Real Thing"...

There were areas that we did not visit which I would have liked included like the anechoic chamber Marshall have, and maybe a bit more re the testing etc. but other than that it seemed pretty good.

I can't afford to buy the little studio classic that has 1 little 10" speaker in it because in America the retail price of this tiny amp is north of $1,900.00. In the 80's myself and all my friends played through full Marshall stacks. Some of us had more than one stack. All of us were gigging on a regular basis. We had a very good local music scene, and YES you did need all that power and all of those speakers. Seems excessive now but then it wasn't. Rather, it was a necessary factor in the equation of rock bands, girls, and beer. Good times. I don't need a marshall amp at my age but I would absolutely LOVE to plug into a jcm800 and hear that sound barking back at me again. However at these prices I am priced out of this pleasure. I'm sure many young deserving guitarists are as well. If I toured the Marshall factory I would reiterate that fact several times.

We left Milton Keynes in the 1980s for NZ when I was 15. I wonder if I went to school with any of the veteran staff there. That's who I can blame if my amp blows up 😜 At school, they tried to teach us to talk proper and all that. BBC posh, instead of sounding like Oliver Twist. Listening to the staff, I see it did not work. You can take the Londoner out of London, but not the London out of the Londoner (when Milton Keynes was built brand new, they called us London Overspill, which I never thought was very nice of them). The Marshall cow must be a reference to Milton Keynes and its concrete cows. Concrete cows in a field, because they built a new town on what used to be prime English farmland. A piss take. Another thing MK is known for is roundabouts and a one kilometre long, mirror glass shopping centre, which was super futuristic in 1980. School was amazing in hindsight. No expense spared, so we had everything a kid could want, just about. Then the cuts arrived, but I was out of there by then. Not many Marshall amps in NZ when I arrived here in the 1980s. High tariffs made imports very expensive, which resulted in several Kiwi amp brands like Holden that AC/DC began on. Then free trade arrived in the late '80s, factories closed, and music shops had Marshall amps we could not afford because we lost our jobs (it took around ten years until NZ fully recovered from neoliberal shock therapy).

Eventually, they referred me to someone local that apparently is a repair representative and parts dealer for Marshall here in Montreal, which never amounted up to anything! Not bad for a company, that apparently prides itself on quality and customer service! Guess that is only true if you are a rockstar or something,

No, I already know that the Marshall badges have to be bought through a dealer. It's generally the same everywhere. And for example, it's unlikely (if you're not a registered tech) they would sell you a replacement main board for example... authorized dealers might of course, but that's the correct channel. The thing is, people (I believe) abuse things like Marshall logo's and would they sell you 10? I doubt it. But an interesting point and thanks for posting that info.

@@tonymckenziecom Really, signature amp models and the studio series. Thought this was MARSHALL. These aren't flagship products. I considered a 410H back in the day (16 years ago).

Perhaps that's why they don't particularly like hearing about it. Instead, it appears that they would rather be a lifestyle brand. That's fine, Fender and Gibson aren't far behind.

Friedman's are terrible....a JJ nonetheless, which is an incredible amp. Your statement stinks, but I still accept that you might have a different opinion, but...truth is, Friedman currently SHITS on Marshalls, in construction quality and sound. They haven't done a decent model in years. And let it be known that I love Marshalls. SLP's, JMP's and JCM800's are incredible amps. I have a most amazing Marshall SL-X (perhaps the very last decent Marshall with the Marshall character), as well, but it's only amazing because Hermansson modded it to a firebreather that cleans up amazingly well. If Marshall were intelligent, since they were bought by a Swedish company, they'd literally bury Hermansson in cash and get a production Marshall Hermansson as their new amp. Or even a Gower amp. They're most amazing as well. THEN and only then, they could reclaim their undeniable importance as a staple or rock and metal. And with all of the new quality, boutique amps on the market, it's only thanks to Friedman and Bogner keeping that old school feel alive that people still talk about Marshalls.

You know what, I have heard it all for so long... and scarily to be honest its the same comments that's been banded for years... you know, this changes everything, don't buy a tube amp, those amps are too heavy, those amps are too expensive, you can literally add your own - its so funny to hear for 12 years! (Hey you might not agree). I have just completed a review of the Headrush Prime, the Tonex, and I own a Kemper since 2011 and best way I can describe it all, is by using a phrase (as is often spouted by capture devices owners) as the tube amp users (they are by far the majority) will tell you: 'Sounds and Feels like a tube amp? You wish...' and I think that just about sumps it all up. My 1 3/4 hour review of the Headrush Prime (to be uploaded) will show many of the things that all the hypers never tell anyone (or for that matter the Tonex boys don't either) and its all hassle and pain. And of course just change ANY setting or knob of the captured device and its all blown it. There are some good points of course, but those are easily outweighed on those devices by the bad things from my personal experience. Of course it's just an opinion and yours is just as valid! But I will be making a video about this exact subject and I'll be backing it up with some data too - so should be worth a look when I post it. And thanks for watching too.
