Marshall JCM900, Stompboxes With Batteries: John 5's Simple Pleasures

December 19, 2009
Marshall JCM900 John 5

Plenty of guitarists love the legendary Marshall JCM900, primarily because no two players sound the same through one. John 5 is one of the most individual voices in guitar today, and here he tells us about how the JCM900 helps amplify his impressively diverse playing vocabulary. From chicken-pickin' to blindingly fast speed metal, if it's fast, John 5 plays it, and plays it through his JCM900.

Additionally, Mr. 5 talks about the benefits of simplicity in a touring rig, and why he always uses batteries in his stomp effects.

John 5 actually uses Mode Fours

By: Deebo (not verified)

Nice clip, but he doesn't mention the JCM 900 he uses as a backup at all. He actually uses 2 mode fours when he is with Zombie as his primary amps.
