Collective Soul's Joel Kosche Praises the Roadworthy VOX AC30CC

Starting as tour tech back in 1996, Joel Kosche made a welcome transition when Collective Soul offered him the role of lead guitarist. Kosche stepped into the spotlight with bandmates Ed Roland (vocals), Dean Roland (guitar), Will Turpin (bass) and Shane Evans (drums) in this multi-platinum hard rock staple. Collective Soul is now touring in support of their hit album, Youth, released on the band’s own label.

Kosche has fine-tuned his bold sound with the help of the VOX AC30 Custom Classic amp. He relates, “I’m very familiar with the AC30s. Since Ed bought some old ones, we’ve used them a lot in the studio. But it was kind of weird taking vintage amps out on the road, so we were really excited to hear about the new line. It’s almost like they read my mind with the new improvements. I’m really enjoying the new AC30 Custom Classics — they’re everything I’d hope they’d be.” Kosche enjoys using the VOX Brian May Special amp, as well: “It’s definitely a great, great recording tool. I did a record with the lead singer from Kansas, Steve Walsh, and I used that Brian May amp on several songs.

Collective Soul also recently released an acoustic album, From the Ground Up. They will be out on the road till at least the end of 2005, and then start pre-production for the next record. Get the latest news at www.collectivesoul.com.
