James Charles "Jim" Marshall, OBE (29 July 1923 – 5 April 2012) known as The Father of Loud〔(Jim Marshall: 'They call me the Father of Loud' ) – ''The Guardian'' Tuesday 10 April 2012〕 or The Lord of Loud,〔(Amp pioneer was 'Lord of Loud' ) – Mike Collett-White, Reuters 6 April 2012 in the Calgary Herald〕 was an English businessman and pioneer of guitar amplification.

==Early life==
Marshall was born in Acton, West London, in 1923, into a family which included boxers and music hall artists. As a child he was diagnosed with tubercular bones, and spent many years in the hospital. His formal education suffered as a consequence. During WWII he was exempt from military service due to his poor health. He became a singer, and then, due to the shortage of available civilian musicians, doubled as a drummer. In his day job as electrical engineer he built a portable amplification system so his light, crooning vocals could be heard over his drums.〔Saunders, William (2010) ''Jimi Hendrix London'' Roaring Forties Press ISBN 978-0-9843165-1-9〕
"I was making 10 shillings (£0.50) a night and because it was wartime, we didn't have any petrol for cars, so I would ride my bicycle with a trailer behind it to carry my drum kit and the PA cabinets which I had made! I then left the orchestra to be with a 7 piece band and in 1942 the drummer leader was called into the forces and I took over on drums."〔(The Jim Marshall Story ). MarshallArts.org. Retrieved 5 April 2012〕
To become more proficient on the drums and to better emulate his idol, Gene Krupa, from 1946–48 Marshall took weekly lessons from Max Abrams. In the 1950s, Marshall became part of the English music scene and started teaching other drummers, including Mitch Mitchell (The Jimi Hendrix Experience), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Micky Waller (Little Richard) and Mick Underwood (Ritchie Blackmore).〔(Marshall Amps Founder Jim Marshall Dies ). ''Planet Rock''. Retrieved 5 April 2012〕〔 Marshall commented, "I used to teach about 65 pupils a week and what with playing as well, I was earning in the early 1950s somewhere in the region of £5,000 a year (eqv. 2012 to £108,000), which was how I first saved money to go into business."〔
