I've seen inductors at the input of pedals that don't have uCUs and ot other digitall stuff. It looks like Marshall are using those ferrite beads everywhere from pedals to tube amps.

Blame it on the SMPS`s...

SMSPs are not the only problem. Mostly those inductors are used to prevent radio frequencies entering the signal path but a 47pF 3 terminal capacitor (like found in Marshall AVT series amps for example) attenuates in the gigahertz region so maybe now it's protecting against cell phones, wireless and similar stuff.

I think there may be some between the bridge and fretboard of your solidbody electric.
