One Guitar Player’s Journey from the Secular to the Sacred I started playing guitar in the late 90s and cut my teeth on bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Rage Against the Machine, and Radiohead, just to name a few.

Some would say that even using guitars on stage is too much and others see that pulling a Jack Black - School of Rock…

Since the rebirth of its predecessor, the Mesa Boogie Express, the Express Plus has acted as a diamond in the rough. I shouldn’t say it was love at first sight, given the front panel’s 15 knobs, 5-band EQ, and a host of intimidating switches, but nonetheless, I knew the Plus was an immense wiring improvement…
