Bill Champlin is a rock guitarist with a R&B approach. Bill loves the very "real sound" from his BlackVerb and finds that it sounds like a Marshall when you want it, but is more controllable.
Depending on what guitar Bill is using, he uses the clean channel mostly for R&B rhythm and the drive channel for rock rhythm and then adds the mid and boost for lead. Click here to see what Bill is up to now. |

RedPlate: How would you say your RedPlate Amp has helped your sound and/or technique?
DB: Man, Redplate amps are stunning...I have always felt like I have hidden behind pedals with every other amp...this amp simply needs nothing added...it’s perfect for whatever tone you are after. They sound sort of 3D and the way the notes sing through it makes you really want to play without being distracted by bad tone. They project really well at loud or soft volumes...I know everyone loves the modeling stuff but nothing compares to an analog Tube amp tuned to perfection like the Redplates. I own 4 and eyeing a 5th now ha-ha ...you can say I’m fairly addicted.
