Whether I’m trying to write a great song or play a great solo, I’m always looking to the past for inspiration and try to build on the shoulders of giants and in the five decades I’ve spent tone questing, I’ve done the same thing; drawing inspiration from great amps and great builders. Enter John Metz and his line of incredibly inspiring tone machines.
To my ears, Metz amps embody the best tonal characteristics of the great amps of the rock ‘n’ roll era but with a unique sound all their own.
Harmonically rich, stunning clarity and extremely touch sensitive, Metz goes from clean to mean and everything in between and best of all, inspires to play beyond my means – helps me to write that great song – play that great solo.
