Question
I was wondering what amp or pre and power amp Dave used on The System Has Failed. I was told it was a boosted Marshall Plexi? Is this true? I really love his tone, especially on this album.
Thanks
Dave
Answer
Hi Dave, the tone on that album certainly does rock. But really, doesn't Dave's tone rock on all his albums?! ;) Dave has always used great equipment and Marshall has always been a leading force but on this album Dave had an amp custom made for him from another company. Dave had this to say when I asked him.
"No, I used a Line 6 custom amp that was made for me. But I am selling them. You can't get them, but I am selling them, I should say."
Since then, Dave has gone back to using Marshall power and we can surely look forward to an even greater tone coming from the next album! Stay tuned!
