"I set it up mainly on the top boost channel, maybe a little bit of the normal channel. There’s not a whole lot of saturation. I like hearing individual notes over a chord. I can control the distortion and sustain by just dynamic playing, rather than stepping on a box for a boost." http://www.voxamps.co.uk/artists/Jim_Adkins.asp RECORD COMPANY Jim has a record label that’s called Western Tread Recordings.
