“That amp quite literally changed my life”: Damon Johnson explains why finding the right amp kickstarted his career
Brother Cane, Thin Lizzy and Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Damon Johnson has been on a long journey to nail his guitar tone, but his early revelation came by way of an amp that he says “was worth every penny” and shaped his tone, and career, ever since.
“In 1990, a friend guided me to ordering a modified ’72 100-watt Marshall Super Lead head that had been worked on by the late great Frank Levy. Spending $1,000 back then would be like spending $10,000 now, but it was worth every penny,” he says in the latest edition of Guitarist.
