Plus you want to project your own music.
OP: Yeah, it has been so much fun being out on the John Mayer tour and getting to play every night. It’s a real guitar-fest and he’s selling out arenas all over Australia, so we’re lucky, getting to play to a huge audience. We actually played a headlining show in Adelaide at the Entertainment Centre and it was just so cool to be able to come home, to have that support and to put on a classic rock show with lots of smoke, lights and guitar solos.
How did you get into ENGL amplifiers?
OP: I’m not using ENGL anymore. I’m now using EVH amps and I actually used them on my record and I wanted to have that sound live. ENGL are great amps, but I just wanted to make sure that the tone was the same as the record. Some people come to see me and they’ll say, ‘it sounds just like the record’.
It sounds amazing. Time has run out but I want to congratulate you on your success.
OP: Thank you so much and thank you for your support. I read Australian Guitar magazine all the time and it’s great!
