Slash clarified: "To clear up any misconceptions that might arise, although Magnatone and I have been working together to create a new Amp, I still maintain my long relationship with Marshall and look forward to continued collaboration with their incredible team."

Awkward! Can't imagine two direct competitors wanting to put out competing signature models.

Definitely doesn't happen often. As far as I know, Clapton once had a signature guitar from Gibson, Martin and Fender on the market at the same time.

In the end, everyone who is interested will benefit.
