NAMM 2012: Marshall 50th Anniversary 1-watters
This year marks Marshall’s 50th anniversary, and to celebrate the occasion they’re releasing a different one-watt amp (available in head and combo versions) to represent a popular amp from each decade. A new one will be released every 11 weeks. First up is the JTM1 to represent the 60s. Next is the JMP1, then the JCM1 (think JCM800), the DSL1 (think my personal amp, the DSL2000) and then the monstrous JVM1.
Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
