“I think it sounds very close to vintage amps. If I hadn’t told you that, you probably wouldn’t have guessed, right?”: Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett explains why he opted for a digital modeler over tube amps on his latest EP

Chris Shiflett from the Foo Fighters performs on The Pyramid Stage at Day 3 of Glastonbury Festival 2023 on June 23, 2023 in Glastonbury, England.

Chris Shiflett is best known as Foo Fighters' lead guitarist, but he's also a solo artist in his own right. His latest EP, Starry Nights & Campfire Lights, notably features a country version of Thin Lizzy's Cowboy Song and an Americana rendition of Don't You Ever Leave Me by Hanoi Rocks.
