9.8.2008 - Amp used on TSHF?

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

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!
