A: Without question my best purchase was a 1976 Marshall JMP 50-watt head. Our Dust & Stone Recording Studio has typically been a predominantly Fender vibe but this Marshall is quickly changing that. There's no sweeter sound than plugging a guitar into an amp with no pedals and having all the dynamics you need right under your fingers.
Current obsession: I'm constantly obsessed with creating and discovering cumbia music. I recently purchased a rare little device called the Hanan Cumbia—a killer little drum machine in a pedal casing that's geared completely towards cumbia rhythms and sounds!
