Is My Search for the Perfect Guitar Rig Finally Over? | Greg Koch

Greetings from a rooftop in Venice Beach, friends! The Koch-Marshall Trio has been working its way west, and these little Marshall amps have been delivering a thoroughly unreasonable amount of gristle. I’m talking about my Marshall SV20 Studio Vintage and Studio JTM rig, using the Koch Ness Monster Supreme with the four-cable method, and getting that thick, juicy tube overdrive without deafening everyone in the establishment. A velvet damn hammer, ladies and gentlemen. Also on the menu: Phoenix and Ramona gig reports, sold-out California shows, the Reverend guitars I’m using on tour, some pedalboard buzz troubleshooting, and why leaving the guitar in its case between gigs has actually made me more excited to play. Thanks to everyone who has been coming out, grabbing records and feeling the power. Can you dig it? LIVE ALBUM: LARGER THAN LIFE LIVE!
