Be sure to grab yourself a copy of this months Total Guitar. Not only does it feature all the usual interesting features, reviews and licks, there's also a five page interview with British blues rock guitar duo Pete Shoulder and Luke Morley of The Union. Both avid users of the Vintage Modern, the article explains how Morley played a big part in finding that sweet Vintage Modern tone and how The Union found their sound by keeping things pure with just a Gibson and a Marshall.
The Union have recently released their second album Siren's Song and are supporting The Answer on tour in March. For more information on The Union, visit www.theuniononline.com
We are proud to announce we have signed another new artist to the already impressive roster of big names whose amp of choice is Marshall. We would like to welcome Mikael Åkerfeldt to the Marshall family. Mikael is the legendary vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of progressive earth metal band, Opeth. This means that Mikael exclusively will endorse Marshall amplifiers from now on. His model of choice, the Vintage Modern.
”Well, my first amplifier ever was a 12 Watt Marshall, my second amp was a Marshall 20 Watt and my 3rd amp was a 100 Watt Valvestate head and 4x12 cabinet. The first two were stolen, the last one I had to sell to buy food and pay bills. It’s been a long and winding road since, but now I’m back to playing Marshalls and it feels like I’m back home. The Vintage Modern? Well, the name alone speak volumes. I see Opeth as a modern band with vintage influences and this amp has everything I need. From a mature, warm, clean jazzy tone to the most extreme metal-chug. And everything inbetween.”
