LEADING GUITARISTS TUNE INTO
THE VOX AC30 CUSTOM CLASSIC— Nick Wheeler and Mike Kennerty of The All-American Rejects,
Michael Zakarin of The Bravery and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from The Mars Volta all choose new VOX AC30 Custom Classic amps for their individual sound and inimitable style —WINTER NAMM SHOW, ANAHEIM, CA, January 19, 2006 — The All-American Rejects’ latest album, Move Along, released July 2005, went gold after only two months of airplay. The Oklahoma-based rock/pop quartet has performed on the American Music Awards, enjoys nearly nonstop exposure on MTV, and was featured on the first-ever MySpace Records album.
Both Rejects guitarists Nick Wheeler and Mike Kennerty have been using VOX ever since Tim O’Heir, who produced their first record, suggested the AC30 as an ideal match for their sound. They now rely on the VOX AC30 Custom Classic whether playing clean or dirty. As Wheeler points out, “It sounds great when you crank it up — and it looks cool, too.” On the road, Wheeler also counts on his AC30/6TBX. Kennerty, meanwhile, brags on his new AC30 Custom Classic: “I played VOX while recording the album. I always enjoy them. I needed something for this tour, so we got the new Custom Classic. It sounds great!” The All-American Rejects have a plethora of tour dates and other items of interest posted at www.allamericanrejects.com.
The Bravery flaunts an inspired fusion of rock, punk and dance sounds, which caught the attention of legendary band Depeche Mode, who in turn chose them as the opening act on their current tour. Guitarist Michael Zakarin of The Bravery has taken the VOX AC30 Custom Classic Head along on his rocket trip to stardom. Zakarin notes, “I need an amp that has the ability to accommodate both clean and crunch…this has the capability to do both.” Find out more about The Bravery at www.thebravery.com.
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, widely known for his onstage guitar antics with The Mars Volta, has released an engaging solo album. Rodriguez-Lopez is passionate about expressing himself, and enthusiastic about his ability to do so with the VOX AC30 Custom Classic. Rodriguez-Lopez asserts, “Tone-wise, it sounds angry to me. And that’s what I enjoy when I play guitar.” A new Mars Volta album is in the works as well, featuring the VOX AC30CC2X and Clyde McCoy Wah pedal. The Mars Volta’s first-ever live album, Scab Dates, is also available. Visit www.themarsvolta.com for the latest news.
