Joe Bonamassa shows off his live rig – guitar amps & effects
guitar amps September 28th, 2009
American blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa is widely tipped as one of the greatest, if not the greatest guitarist of his generation. Along with his technically brilliant playing and incredible feel and phrasing, Joe has a fantastic tone.
We caught up with Joe at a gig in the UK, and in this video he shows you his enviable live rig. We’re sure you’ll agree that the man has an enviable array of amps and effects and enough power in his backline to level buildings.
