Thank you Tony for sharing this, loved it! I’d listen to Terry’s anecdotes for hours and hours :) Marshall is not just a great brand, but a family of musicians, engineers, and fans who all share a passion for music. Looking forward to the new products :)
Yes I agree with you. I think the tour was not up to the one I did with Phil Wells some years back, but it still shows what's going on... coming on at the weekend...
I cant understand why this isnt on the official marshall youtube channel. Theyve put nothing out like this at all that ive seen and it would be a very good thing for those of us that also love marshall. Well done tony for getting it out there!
Well there it is and they can use it for me - I created this and the tour videos to be seen and show what is really 'going on' at Marshall these days. And Terry Marshall was a real gentleman. Thanks.
The mini jtm will probably be some horrible little Bluetooth, surface mount, fake valve piece of shit made in China with a 'sold out' badge on it. This video made me shudder ....... All these fools here giving virtual pats on the back to the guy who's just sold his father's legendary company to an oversea investor ....... What a joke ! How many mugs on here are suckered in with his folksy family talk .......
Tony, thank you for this! With the ST20 range out now, do you reckon they will expand the studio series with a JCM900 Studio next? Or a JVM20? Or something completely different?
Hopefully not the JCM900. I am hoping that they bring back (believe it or not) the JCM2000 but in this format and without the problems. That amp contrary to many who only slagged it off because of reliability actually sounded really good recorded. Indeed I still have my updated version today. Thanks.
"It's a natural marriage" between Marshall and Zounds. They have worked together 13 years. On another note. Friend of mine and his girlfriend lived together, purchased home in common, among other things. Even raised a child together! After more than 20 years of this arrangement. They finally got married😊 6 months later, they divorced and no longer speak to each other😮
I knew a couple who did more or less the same thing, and suspect that getting married is actually a last-ditch attempt to save a failing relationship. In reality, it just gives one party more rights when things finally fall apart.
Wow. Your a lucky man Tony. Can't wait to see the new small 45 style amp. Will it be a "Lunchbox" style amp? And will it be 45 or 20ish watts? Maybe 30ish with some 5881's. I'm chomping at the bit already. Sounds as if there is some new stuff in the wings.
I actually think it can be a good move. The code series didn’t do so well and the mg series was getting stale. Hopefully they can bring some of that new technology that mooer, nux, line6, and ik are using and mix it with the Marshally goodness.
bit of useless info i went to a Marshall amp demonstration in Macclesfield in 1992 and still have my poster that was signed by jim himself who was there
That's not useless info... keep hold of it. As time moves on, that poster is 'stuck' literally in time and you will never forget that occasion - and you can't ever go back and ask for another. I often saw Jim Marshall at shows and always said hello, but as time moved on Jim slowed down and last time I saw him he was in a wheelchair, but he seemed to love being there even in that chair. Certainly a trooper holding up the flag for Marshall. And rightly so! Thanks for this post and for watching.
I'm not convinced ..... Another legendary British product being sold abroad. That folksy persona doesnt settle me ..... i dunno..... maybe i"m too cynical
It’s not like they’ve been releasing great amps that would become future classics. The last new amp that is considered a classic is a JCM800 from the 80’s. Reissues don’t count. 6100 gets some kudo’s (used one for a bit in the 90’s) but would take an 800 or JMP with a pedal in a heartbeat over it. Then there was the huge price hike 20 years ago that has ruined buying new, U.K made Marshall in the U.S. for regular people. So maybe they once were the company this guy thinks it is but not for decades. Just keep those Bluetooth speakers and fridges coming Marshall.
@@Skoora Sad but true. Marshall seems to have forgotten what made them a ONCE great company and I could care less about all the other worthless crap they peddle. How about they go back to making amplifiers. Have no idea what this guy is talking about because this is not Marshall of today.
@@shane011471 It’s the same old “we’re a family” shit that gets peddled around when probably a whole bunch of people are about to get laid off. The people in long time power who are secure in either position or money have all the luxury in the world to was on about family and the folksiness of it all, but they’ll be totally disconnected from ground level employees when something has to “happen”. The family coat of arms in any corporation is a dollar bill (or pound note).
@@JC-kv1vn You know what I meant. Your own comment talking about a JVM 410 that came out over a decade and a half ago tells you everything you need to know about Marshall of today. If they were doing so well I can promise you that they would not now be owned by Zound Industries based out of Stockholm Sweden! Saying that all these amp builders made amps that sound like a Marshall? Sorry but not any Marshall in a long time. This is coming from someone that loves Marshall BUT they have seemed to have lost their way being more focused on becoming a "Lifestyle" brand and seem to have forgotten what made them in the first place.
Well let's walk and not run... If you heard Terry then let's see exactly what happens. Personally I would be very sad to see Marshall not doing what it's best at: M A K I N G A M P S... Thanks for watching.
The truth is that Marshall has relentlessly dived for every penny of profit they can squeeze out of any product they make, and at every turn have cheapened their products, to make them faster to produce, cheaper to build, and more profitable to sell, with little concern for quality, reliability, and serviceability. Today only a FEW of their products are durable enough to be worthy of taking on the road with hard working, gigging musicians. Today's Marshall is a pale shadow of the company that built my vintage 60s and 70s Marshalls in my collection. If I were shopping for new amps to fill a backline for a touring band today, without question I'm heading directly for the local Mesa/Boogie dealership. Because not one of their products is cheap or low quality. I know that ANY Mesa amp is ready to hit the road and crank out the tunes night after night.
Great to know you like Mesa Boogie! I do too. But here's something you might not quite follow... I have bought Mesa amps since about 1978, covere triaxis and 2:90, MK III, MK IV, MK V, Rectifiers and much more. But you know what, I CANNOT buy a Mesa Boogie here in the UK currently and have not been able to for some time. Mesa was sold to others... and immediately I can't buy Mesa even if I wanted to. So it would be wrong to say that Marshall is X or Y, when the very brand you mention has its own problems. In fact every brand currently has its own issues from what I see. And MY Marshall amps remain really good products... from 1987x,1959HW, Studio Vintage, Studio JCM800, Studio 2525H, TSL100, JVM Satch head and more. I like many brands and Marshall is from actual experience of owning them way up there with the best. Today, frankly, is NOT the 1970's and what they did then really does not work today as company after company will tell you if you ask them. Often they are stopped by the law were old practices CANNOT be used any longer which is a god example of how companies have their 'hands tied' in these oh so crazy times. Thanks for the post, your opinion is as valid as any of course and thanks for watching.
For the first part of your comment I agree 100% but please don't talk about mesa and reliability. If you ever opened up Mesa you would quickly understand what am I talking about. Everything is squeezed as much as possible and also there are so many undervalued parts inside, it's crazy. Marshall had also couple bad designs but to put reliability and Mesa into the same sentence is just nonsense.
What a true gentleman Terry Marshall is! Thank you, Tony for sharing this with us.
Of course I agree :) and thanks for watching and the post.

was a real gentleman. Thanks.
This is the first time I I watch Terry Marshall interview and I instantly love him. A very nice, warm, and welcoming gentleman.
Yes and he was helpful that he did not shy from any questions which certainly helps Marshall.
Outstanding!!! Long live Marshall !!!
Thanks... and thanks for watching.
This is great, Terry comes across as a very genuine fella.
As a lifelong Marshall fan and user this is so cool never heard Terry speak before Class Act
Thanks. He really is a very likeable guy and was so helpful. Thanks for watching.
Top gaffer! You are in our blood. Thank you!
Well thanks for watching. The tour comes on tonight at about 7:00 PM UK time.
Awesome! Txs for sharing and props to the whole Marshall family. Keep rocking guys 👍🏻🙏🏻
You bet!
Wonderful video Tony, thank you for this video.
Thanks for sharing this with us tony. Have a great Easter weekend and looking forward to your next video. All my best wishes mate 😊😊🎶🎶
Thanks... factory visit will be probably Friday or Saturday night...
Tony, your the man! Thank you for this chat.
You bet!
I use a Marshall amplifier, it's an MA 100C 100W all valve 2 X 12 combo amp, so I'm a part of the Marshall family and I'm proud of it.
Rock on... and thanks for watching this.
Oh Tony this is gold! Thank you for this 🙏 what a great guy he seems to be. Tony & Terry eh! Couple of legends
I'm nore of a Leg End really... Terry is the legend. Thanks.
@@tonymckenzieofficial 😂🤚 you use the same Leg end phrase I do!! Have a great week!
@@tonymckenzieofficial 😂🤚 you use the same Leg end phrase I do!! Have a great week!
Terry gave me and my wife a tour of the factory in 1997. Lovely chap!
Exactly! Thanks for watching.
Great vid Tony! Alan is a great addition to your channel. He's got a nice chilled vibe.
Couldn't agree more!
Wow good job Tony!
Thanks and thanks for watching.
This is awesome thank you for posting it!!
Well thanks for watching...
Great interview! What a nice man. Im looking forward to seeing what this mini JTM is like.
The mini jtm will probably be some horrible little Bluetooth, surface mount, fake valve piece of shit made in China with a 'sold out' badge on it.
This video made me shudder .......
All these fools here giving virtual pats on the back to the guy who's just sold his father's legendary company to an oversea investor .......
What a joke !
How many mugs on here are suckered in with his folksy family talk .......
Fingers crossed! and thanks for watching.
Good stuff Tony
Thanks...
He's a lovely old fella bless him
He is... and thanks for watching.

Ha what can I say :)
I knew a couple who did more or less the same thing, and suspect that getting married is actually a last-ditch attempt to save a failing relationship. In reality, it just gives one party more rights when things finally fall apart.
Can you ask them to reissue a 50 watt jcm800/ jmp ? Maybe ad a half power switch on the back?
Ha what makes you think they will listen to me :) !
What a nice guy with a great attitude.
Agreed... and he's certainly been around.
Wow. Your a lucky man Tony. Can't wait to see the new small 45 style amp. Will it be a "Lunchbox" style amp? And will it be 45 or 20ish watts? Maybe 30ish with some 5881's. I'm chomping at the bit already. Sounds as if there is some new stuff in the wings.
Terry did say it was a while off.... thanks.
For a while, at Marshall forum, there been rumors about a 20-watt version of the JTM in the Studio series
I actually think it can be a good move. The code series didn’t do so well and the mg series was getting stale. Hopefully they can bring some of that new technology that mooer, nux, line6, and ik are using and mix it with the Marshally goodness.
You never really know... thanks.
What age was Terry when he convinced his dad to design bigger amplifiers for Townsend and Clapton?
Honestly don't know but he is 78 (I think he said) so work backwards :).
It’s mutual ok❤️🔥🕊

Pity it is no longer a wholly owned uk company 😐

Just another in an endless list of traitors.
