As a Marshall fan I'm worried, acquisitions like this can go one or two ways, good or bad. On the positive side though, maybe this will push them to move forward with some designs and updates. But frankly until another company can give me the tone that my Marshalls give me, I'll hang in there. I've yet to find a "stock" amp do so.
I remember when I first started playing in the late 80s, having a Marshall amp was the dream. Now they ae the last company I look at for my amp needs. Kinda sad.
From side of reliability the JCM2000 was not the best construction. The classic golden era ended at the JCM800. You can still buy JCM800 and other reissues now, so no problem.
