ZZ Top legend Billy Gibbons is the star of the show this month with two in-depth interviews with Stuart Bull and Michael Casswell, and a special ‘Billy Gibbons Masterclass’ lesson from Danny Gill. Other interviews include Steve Lukather who talks to Gi about his eagerly awaited new solo album ‘Transistion’ and Jerry Donahue sits down with Lee Hodgson to discuss his string-bending technique and his extensive career.

accommodating, so there is no doubt in
my mind the customers will be well looked
after. The only point to note is that Voodoos
website says there is a waiting this for these
amps (hardly surprising!), so you may have
to wait to get your hands on one. You will
also need to import from the USA to other
countries, but all international voltages etc.
are offered, so it shouldn’t be too difficult -
though no doubt customs duties will come
into play and you will need to work out what
they could cost you, depending on where
you live.
This is not an amp for all seasons with 16
channels of MIDI and on-board effects that
sound crap. This is a great sounding straightup
Rock ‘n Roll beast that would delight
any classic Rock, Blues or Blues Rock player

and with the gain wrapped around you can
stick a foot in the heavy metal puddle, too,
although the depth and warmth of this amp
does make it lean toward more classic tones.
I would encourage you to check out the
website voodooamps.com where there are
more models with multiple channels effects
loops and all the regular trimmings of the
modern day amplifier, the V Rock however
is a blast from the past with the heat of the
moment and I certainly enjoyed playing
through it. I don’t think you will be using
this model in your wedding band, unless
someone from AC DC is getting hitched,
but if you are a rocker tone purist this could
be the one for you!
