I don't get it either. Marshall is probably the worst offender when it comes to missed opportunities. There are SO many things they are just handing over to the competition because they refuse to do it.

Imagine a 50w line in a slightly bigger headshell than the 20w, (evh 50 size) priced at around 1499. 800, Jubilee, DSL etc all in that format/price. They'd be printing money. And yet, they won't do it.

It's classic British shitty business decision making. Too many MBAs pitching merch instead of core products. I blame the apprentice. Have you've everseen the British apprentice? I don't know where they find these people from as they are the dumbest motherfuckers I have ever seen. Their core skill is unshakable confidence in the face of being flat out wrong, and being totally insufferable. It will be one of these chucklefucks pushing to make yet another mini fridge that looks like a half stack to sell to boomers who played guitar for 3 months when they were 14.

Pretty much the same in the US. The new owners are Swede now so maybe there will be a change. They already fixed the ridiculous USA prices set by the old US distributor so that's a good start. The new CEO gave an interview to Guitar World magazine a few months ago and said that they're in process of reorganizing the company and 2025 will be a big year for new Marshall amps. He even hinted at a possible in-house mod shop. We'll see.
