The sale brings an end to family ownership of one of Britain's best-known music businesses.
The Marshall business was founded in 1962 by Jim Marshall, nicknamed the so-called “Father of Loud,” who owned a music shop in Ealing, London. The shop was popular with rock musicians such as Deep Purple guitarist Richie Blackmore and The Who's Pete Townshend.
