Behind the Scenes at the Marshall Amplifiers Factory!

[@andertons]

My interview with Terry Marshall will be out tomorrow (27th Dec) at 3pm UK time 👍

[@Mexxx65]

Wow!!!! A Mr Marshall!!!!

[@artistlovepeace]

Fantastic! My first amp was a Marshall 12 watt, I believe or 10 watt.

[@dominikruhrig7282]

I would love to see a factory Tour @victory ❤

[@montauta]

Man You talk tooooo muuuuch. Leave The man speak about his business. Very annoying from tour "captain"

[@TheRip72]

@@montauta It is Anderton's channel. Happy for Lee to ask questions.

[@marshall]

Our pleasure Lee, thanks for coming by! 🖤🤘

[@sound_n_resonance]

i really like the jvm, u could make a pedal with all ur classic amps. hugs.

I've played the Museum segment 5 times+ over and over again! Lee is right! Here in the USA when we see a Marshall head, combo it's with reverence, respect! and with excitement Great U.K company for all the world to enjoy! Greetings from Hollywood, California!

[@petercarparelli]

Loving this. Thanks Marshall and Capt. Anderton for the tour!

[@troutastic]

Great stuff, such wonderful memories as a 13- or 14-year-old wannabe guitar player lusting after an unobtainable Marshall amp for a skint kid... lol. The Amp brand of all my heroes...

[@Grizzlybooey]

Perfect Timing, Got my Coffee Ready, Happy Holidays!

[@tuberocker69]

For me, personally, Marshall is the best amplifier in the world! Thier valve amps are unparalleled! 🤘 If I ever make it to England, this will be the place I visit!

[@TheXaskrew]

Ditto! Even when I can't have the real thing and have to make do with modellers or plugins, I always pull up a Marshall. Even for my cleans. When I discovered just how awesome a JCM800 can be for cleans... it was game over. My ultimate favorite setup so far is a Super Lead running Greenbacks and Heso Demons along with a JCM800 running Vintage 30s and Eminence DV-77s in stereo all the time. It gets the best of both vintage and modern tones. I'd have the Super Lead set up with a very mid heavy sound and the 800 more mid scooped and saturated. When you stand dead center of that sonic onslaught, woah! Hours and hours and hours would go by before I'd put my guitar down.

[@Johnnybananass-_]

Youve obviously never played a Friedman haha

[@TheXaskrew]

@@Johnnybananass-_ while I can't speak for @tuberocker69, I myself have. Through a BE100 in fact. I get the hype, I really do. But ultimately not my thing.

[@EnglishVeteran]

Jim Marshall used to buy newspapers from my parents Newsagents in Bletchley in the 60’s. They said he was a very polite man. They call it Milton Keynes now, but it’s still Bletchley.

[@TheRip72]

It is still Bletchley, but an important part of MK's history. Marshall's is closer to Denbigh Hall than Central Bletchley.

[@EnglishVeteran]

@@TheRip72 How was Bletchley an important part of MK?

[@TheRip72]

@@EnglishVeteran Because it is a part of MK, whether you like it or not. Marshall was given a grant to move his company to the area as a part of the project to build Milton Keynes.

[@EnglishVeteran]

@ Bletchley is not a “Part” of Milton Keynes as all voters in Bletchley can confirm. Whether you like it or not. Milton Keynes is a complete disaster of course.

[@mattburley3189]

The Captain’s excitement on these factory tour videos is infectious. Does feel like he isn’t listening on occasion but to be fair, I don’t think I would be capable of hearing or speech at all if I was that kid in those candy stores.

[@kerrywilliams8100]

Brought a DSL40cr last month. First Marshall after using Fender, Boss in the past. Love it.

[@iankeech8352]

My Dad worked in this building for 10 years or so until his recent retirement and I didn't get a chance to do the tour in person so this was a great replacement!

[@iainwhite3476]

I’m still gigging my brothers old valvestate 80 today it must be 30 years old and still rocks

[@rustinpieces]

I'm so sad I sold it way back. They're sought after now.

[@markbeavers5747]

Thanks for the awesome tour video, Marshall is one name that has so much history with electric guitar and is so iconic!!!

[@LuisSanchez-hx4kw]

I just wanted to share that I love watching Anderton's music content. I've been a subscriber since I was in high school and it's good to see the channel keeps on growing with lots of awesome content. Happy holidays to everyone and I am looking forward to watching the channel's future content in 2025. I love you guys (I'm straight) from Andertons and keep on doin watchu do best 🤘

[@ithemba]

I really like how they try to embrace the core of what made the Marshall brand and give us stories and faces too - even if the amps probably amount to less than 10 % of revenue nowadays.

[@tree267]

What’s the other 90% then?

[@ithemba]

@@tree267 bluetooth speakers and headphones.

[@FRUGALZZZ1]

Brilliant video. Lee. Definitely on my bucket list for 2025!

[@ThakkMylde]

Marshall represents far more than just an amplifier.

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

Headphones n bluetooth speakers.

[@Johnnybananass-_]

Yeah a headphone and Bluetooth company now a days :(

[@Flukey_1970]

Thanks Andertons for the great xmas viewing better than the telly

[@matthewaltomare7629]

So cool when you get to see the factory tours where your gear is made. Really makes me that much more proud of it.

[@gd1294]

Marshall is such an iconic brand I sometimes forget it’s a uk brand. They are so ensconced in the United States.

[@Mexxx65]

....never owned a Marshall amp made in the uk.

[@dennisneo1608]

I've always associated Marshall with Britian.

[@Steven-u5w]

Wow! Thank you so much for the Marshall tour around the factory. I still have a Marshall here from the '90s. A very popular valve state 2 channel if I recall, the preamp valve is el34 all the rest is solid state you haven't bored. You send and return I certainly remember the Marshall blues breaker and the governor pedals when they came out in the '80s and '90s you can't mistake the 4* 12 cabinets Marshall head on top thanks again for the tour Absolutely awesomely wonderful! God bless 🙏

[@patricktayloraudio]

Great tour from Steve. He knows his stuff!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I love Marshall Amps. The amps that power Rock n Roll!

[@Mar33322]

Marshall have sure had their ups and downs over the years but in the Rock N Roll amps world they are still king. They have been part of so many amazing albums and live performances its amazing. Always end up back at Marshall , Gibson or Fender.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

a brilliant vid cap, amazing tour loved it m.

[@pitaorj]

Another bloke from Brazil here, I´ve been playing Marshalls Since 1999 and visiting the factory would be a dream come true to me, both as a guitar player and as an industrial engineer. Next trip to Europe might have a quick detour...

[@pitaorj]

Also a 200w Major owner.... taking it to rehearsal was not an easy task, but that thing rockes!

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

Love Marshall amplifiers! Thank you very much. ❤

[@josephpickard3108]

I've had some amazing Marshalls over the years but my current one is out of this world. a 1958X. Unreal.

[@ianwigg1442]

The amp I learned to play on was a 70's non master volume JMP50 2 x 12 combo. As I improved my guitar teacher let me progress to his 60's JTM45 and then 80's JCM800. This was mid 2000's so basically like learning to drive in a vintage Maserati, but these were his working amps. I'm the proud owner of a Steve Rouse built, pure P2P JTM45 with original 60's Dagnall iron which took me 7 years of constant badgering of my guitar teacher to sell me it.

[@pedraw]

The music history is rich with this one. From a long time instrument retailer to the most iconic amplifier manufacturer in the UK.

[@bioburden]

Lee is like a kid in a sweetshop - lovely to see!

[@glenh2752]

Recently took delivery of the Studio Jubilee, absolutely love it. Superb amp!

[@benallmark9671]

Head or combo ?

[@glenh2752]

@ head + a 2x12.

[@philc5513]

Me too. Beast of a head, paired with zilla 2/12. It's loud as hell.

[@maxdistortion]

Noticing alot of popular gear-review youtubers getting tours of the factory lately. Here's hoping they go back to building products made for players and will restore their legacy!

[@hulkslayer626]

That's not where the money is at, though. Much more fiscally responsible to make stuff aimed at hobbyists first and musicians second. There are MANY more hobbyists/weekend warriors than there are actual musicians.

[@7171jay]

@maxd Not sure what you even mean by Marshall getting back to making products for players ??? Marshall makes amps for all kinds of players from someone who will never leave their bedroom to pro's who play small club gigs every night to those who play large stages. Some players want simple bare bones amps while others want multiple channels and all kinds of bell and whistles. Personally I'd like to see them build more higher quality old school type amps but those don't come cheap and price matters to people so I would imagine it's always a rather difficult balance between price, profits, and what the final product ends up being.

[@litos_mendes]

My first tube amp is a jcm 900 mkiii only made for 2 years ... amazing sleeper

[@SomeDudeDan]

Thank you very much for this! Can’t wait for the interview! I just love my Marshall amps, so far I have managed to collect a Super Lead from the early 70s, a Super Tremolo (modded with Jose mod), an original Silver Jubilee, AFD100, and recently got a NOS Slash JCM 2555SL.

[@hyperbrightstudios]

I love this! What a fascinating tour!

[@frankmoss544]

When I was young and just getting into playing guitar, I was desperate to own a Marshall amp. My uncle and I went to A1 music in Manchester and I bought a Marshall Valvestate 80 head, a 4x12 cab and a black Mexican Strat! OMG! I was a crap player at the time and didn't understand any of it, but what a day! That was 32 years ago!

[@nicholasguitars5527]

shipped to every corner of the world...other than the US! waiting for 12 months now. Come on Marshall.

[@VeniceKing1]

Absolutely love an andertons tour video!

[@tomshoemaker662]

Wonderful tour of an iconic British company!! 👏🏻

[@EnglishVeteran]

Great video, lots of memories. I remember Marshall also had a small showroom in Bletchley Rd, not far along from the Post Office.

[@djsguitars01]

As a former Marshall dealer the joke about the valve state amps was that if you took the valve out it still worked & sounded just the same as it did with it in & We always made fun of our Marshall rep when he came in & he was always like what do expect for the money... That aside probably the best rock amp ever made :)

[@KnightOwl-kn6gm]

Thanks for everything that you do Lee.

[@svenx1423]

What a nice video - many thanks - I love it.

🔥 Marshall has made some fantastic amps

It looked like there were some Paul Weller signature amps that he just wandered by?

[@robertkidd6270]

I met a lovely old guy at the Scottish Music Show's Marshall stand. After about half an hour of yakking, it turned out I was talking to Jim Marshall. He was a very nice person to talk to.

[@zenswrd7815]

I’m surprised with the lower watt amps coming out that they haven’t reissued the JCM600’s. Loved mine

[@suedehead23]

After Frost*'s new album which was easily my album of 2024, I'd LOVE you to do a full interview with Nathan King! He's such an underrated player, he was excellent in your gear reviews and such a good laugh, but he's a phenomenal musician on guitar, bass, synths and backing vocals!! Especially after Life in the Wires, his performance is so great on it and I'd love to hear him talking more about that band, his involvement and input with it, as well as all the stories he must have to tell about his career and his playing in Level 42..

[@tonib9261]

The Park 8 channel mixer: I had the Marshall version of that, which must have been early to mid-70s. Never even seen a oicture of one since. Just wow. Had an EP3 or 4 mains inlet.

[@kerrywilliams8100]

Interesting to hear that the modern and vintage cabinets have a different radii to their sides. Did not know that.

[@TheRip72]

I live in MK & run past this factory occasionally. (We have a great running club here). I didn't recognise any of the staff but I do know a guitarist who used to work there soldering components.

[@DrMurdercock]

Like you guys love our guitars, we love your amps. It's a good balance.

[@Epothon]

Cool to see but i am pretty amazed at how little precautions are taken in terms of ESD when assembling the electronics..

[@marcusdluxe]

I went on a tour there with Adrian off of Thorpy FX and a few other guys. Such a cool place.

[@hutchfromba]

Could you tell me the Point to Point Marshalls still being built today ?

[@ivorharden]

Hopefully, Marshall gets back to the top in 2025 with some new models, innovation, etc

[@jlore6344]

This was pretty cool. Thanks for sharin it all. LOL about the Tap movie. Of course I dis that and the Mrs. fell asleep about 1/4 in :(

5:44 is where you see the most important person doing the sanding.

[@RobCmusic]

I used to have a Park 2x12 exactly like the one at 44:27. It was very, very loud!

[@aznsensation44]

Nice to see handwiring is done in the UK. Some brands like Vox do their handwiring in places like Vietnam I believe which is technically 'handwired' so they can still call it that, but the labor is not done in the UK so it doesnt mean as much

[@ej1_drew]

love this 😊

Funny as a Canadian I was instantly racking my brain as to the voice of the Marshal Rep and it finally came to me, Guitaristas accent and voice are exactly the same they could sound like twins if you didn't see their faces LOL.

Marshall needs to make a production hot rod modded plexi amp.

[@kdm44]

Apparently they will at winter NAMM, leaks have shown that a modified 1959hw should be released!

You walked past the Paul Weller model?!! That needed attention! Great tour though...been a Marshall user, and my first "real" amp since 1979.

[@mediaaccount6218]

I got an invite to go some years ago, only need to ask, very cool place

[@Scott__C]

No matter what other brands there are and what one say they have "bettered" it, Marshall IS the sound of rock.

[@JackChurchill101]

When a good store and a good product join forces to co-promote.

[@jorismak]

Didn't Andertons do a limited run with offset-logo re-issues of something? (The video with bonamassa). I expected them to be in the museum somewhere, or did I miss them?

[@luiscarvajal5982]

FROM,BAGONG ILOG PASIG M,FLORES STREET WATCHING THIS VIDEO🎉

[@TheRip72]

Consider this: when Milton Keynes was being built, Marshall was sponsored to move the company there & the entire work force moved with the company. Jim Marshall must have been a great guy to work for.

[@nekot9274]

I remember seing a french band with full stack behind where the logos where cuted and they added an extra M as to read Marsh Mall wich sound like "Marche mal" meaning Does not work properly.

[@Saltydog666]

Hi guys. I've got a Marshall DSL40 combo about 5 years old. I'm trying to mic it up. I've connected mic to input on outside of amp,but where do I plug the guitar into. Tried everything,but can't get guitar going???

Not AC/DC, Lemmy or whatnot but Robbie Williams blasting in the background is just too cool😂 Edit: I see Lee picks the topic up later, too.

You really need to pay attention to what the guide is telling you 😂

[@waderowland9758]

I couldn't find the "Design Shop" on the Marshall website. I'm interested in ordering an amp with custom colored tolex. Link?

[@gunplajerk2591]

curious. do they normally listen to music while they're working? i can understand why none is playing while this video is filming but i work in a similar environment and we are definitely rocking out!

[@billyc6678]

Maybe they should explain why it’s taking so damn long to ship products. I’ve been waiting almost 6 months for silver jubilee 20w. The dates keep getting pushed back. WTF!!!
