Rig Rundown: Monster Magnet

The "space lords" take time for a pit stop with us to cover the everyman Gibsons, scorching Marshalls, and nasty fuzzes that ignite their psychedelic orbit.

During his formative years, Phil Caivano was always in awe of the full-stack, 100-watt, rock-n-roll firepower unleashed by Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzy, so it only makes sense he plugs into this late ’90s Marshall 1959 SLP Plexi reissue. It has been modded by Matt Wells to sound and react closer to a vintage JMP. The head powers two Metropoulos True Replica 1967 Era 4x12 cabs. The top cabinet has Celestion G12H-75 Creambacks and the bottom cab houses Heritage Series G12Hs.
