Question
I recently saw an ad for Line 6 Dave Mustaine signature . I noticed though in the gear section of the site it now says Dave is back to using marshall amps and cabinets. I was wondering why he went back to marshall after such a short period of time with Line 6?

Answer
Actually, Dave never really left Marshall for Line 6; he used Line 6 as a supplement in recording. He explained his amp status as follows: "The gear switch that I went back to was incredible! And although I don't officially play Line 6 gear and never did, they did make me some incredible personal amps for recording with, and I used them on tour for quite a while, but I want the reliability and the consistency that I have always had with my Marshalls; that is why you saw me with my mighty, trusted Marshall custom cabinets I modified for myself for yourself on the Tour of Duty small venue/club underplay tour. I am super stoked to be working with Nick Bowcott at Marshall again and
especially the non-business things and chats we have. There is a lot of great things happening to/for me because of Nick B. and I thank you my friend. We are also on a strange journey together that I will keep secret until you see it first, but suffice it to say that Nick helped me get my first instructional column for a guitar magazine. And there is going to be a DVD video feature along with it and I am playing the new JVM Marshall amplifier, so listen close to this new amp in the lesson, too!"
Keep those questions coming and I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
