Polyphia’s Tim Henson and Scott LePage are two of guitar’s most digitally literate players, early adopters of the amp modeller and guitar plugin, with LePage telling MusicRadar that discovering the POD Farm was “honestly life changing,” but in a recent interview with the German gear retail giant Thomann, they explained why there’s always a tube amp when they play live – and why, for over a year now, it has to be a Marshall.
“We have gravitated specifically towards the JCM800,” LePage says, which, of course, would make perfect sense. Not only because a JCM800 is a superlative metal guitar amp, but this is indeed what the pink amp from Henson’s signature Archetype plugin suite from Neural DSP is based on.
