“I think it sounds very close to vintage amps. If I hadn’t told you that, you probably wouldn’t have guessed, right?”: Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett explains why he opted for a digital modeler over tube amps on his latest EP

Chris Shiflett is best known as Foo Fighters’ lead guitarist, but he’s also a solo artist in his own right. His latest EP, Starry Nights & Campfire Lights, notably features a country version of Thin Lizzy’s Cowboy Song and an Americana rendition of Don’t You Ever Leave Me by Hanoi Rocks.

However, despite the old-school feel, Shiflett actually did away with tube amps and recorded the whole EP using a Neural DSP Quad Cortex.
