Get ready to rock with the hard-rockin' Marshall London (pictures)

Are you ready to rock? I said, are you ready to rock?! Then put your hands together for the Marshall London, the first smartphone from the legendary audio manufacturer.

The London is a 4.7-inch 4G LTE phone, packed with musical features.

The body is a textured, rubberised case somewhere between an amp case and a tyre.

The volume control is a scroll wheel, clad in old-school brass. Set into the black body, the brass fittings hark back to the style of classic Marshall amps.

Music is so important the London boasts two headphone jacks and a dedicated brass button to launch your music player of choice, called the M Button.

You can choose from various music players at the touch of a button, the phone supporting assorted lossless audio formats.

When the second headphone is plugged in the onscreen volume control allows you to adjust the volume for each listener separately.

Camera features include an 8-megapixel rear shooter and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.

The removable 2,500mAh battery may not be the beefiest but it's pretty metal.

Software features include a global equalizer for customising your sound settings.

Long live rock'n'roll indeed!
