When Jim Marshall, who has died aged 88 of cancer, opened a music store in 1960, his customers included some of rock'n'roll's most prominent guitarists. They wanted a new type of amplifier. Marshall seized the opportunity and built it for them. His work would earn him the nickname the Father of Loud.
