Never Use Plexiglass on Drums & Guitar !

[jimboshizz]

His voice and delivery reminds me of Quentin Tarantino...

[TheMixonator]

Great tone. Sometimes a hint of Johnson. Great player

[timmy47]

he doesnt sound like eric johnson. i think people need to go listen to eric a little more. joe has more mid range, not quite as thick as EJ, joe doesnt use a tube driver which has an almost fuzz like tone, you can hear more pick attack in joe, and his phrasing is much more blues base. the only thing joe really does that sounds eric johnson-ish is the pentatonic sequences he does when playing quicker scale runs. but EJ didnt invent that.

If you missed him...he has tons of great vids and music out..Awesome tone, a great player, singer and writer too.

[ChrisvonChamier]

@AlembicPools I took this exact amp out on loan from Bogner a few years ago to record with, and it is in fact a 100B. Great sounding amp! I didn't want to give it back, so I ended up buying a 101A when I did give it back. Never heard a better sounding amp.
