Marshall Amplification is a British company which designs and manufactures music amplifiers. Marshall amplifiers, and specifically their guitar amplifiers, are among one of the most recognized icons in popular music. Marshall is based in Bletchley, Milton Keynes. Marshall amps were originally built as direct copies of Fender amplifiers. However, they were soon modified, and would begin to incorporate certain traits which made them more favorable to guitarists seeking a heavier sound. The distinctive Marshall 'crunch' distortion sound has remained sought after for nearly half a century. Like many high end guitar amplifiers, many of the current (and reissue) models continue to use vacuum tubes as amplification components. Marshall also manufactures less expensive solid state and hybrid devices.
