A couple of years ago, I felt the need to complement my Peavey Falcon Classic guitar
with something of a different flavor. I decided on a secondhand Washburn HB35
semi-hollowbody, and I just love it. It’s a great guitar for semi-clean arpeggios or
full-on overdriven riffing. I run the guitars through a Dunlop Cry Baby, an Ibanez
TS-10 Tube Screamer, a Pro Co Rat, a DOD compressor, a Boss TR-2 Tremolo, an Artec
Analog Delay, and a Dunlop Uni-Vibe.
One of the most important parts of my rig is a Sovtek Mig 50 head that I bought
new in the ’90s. It’s a great amp on its own, but I had it modified by Swedish ampmodder
Tommy Folkesson, who gave it two channels with Class A overdrive. This
gives me my main dirt for rhythm and lead playing, and then allows me to push it
further with the TS-10 and the Rat. I plug the amp into a Marshall 4x10 for smooth
punch in a handy size. This rig can easy fill a 200-seater, but it also sounds great in
much smaller rooms. —ERIK HOLKE, GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

It’s simply awesome! I heard about few more works of swedish ampmodder Tommy Folkesson and all of them are great! He’s a real master! These amps sound wonderful in any rooms, no matter big or small! I’d like to listen to them more often…

If you search for "tommy folkesson amp" on youtube you'll get some clips to watch and listen to. I'm sure Tommy himself will guide you to some recordings where you can hear them or give you the names of some dealers who carries his moded amps. His webpage is: www.tommy-folkesson.nu (Mostly in Swedish) and the e-mail is: tommy.folkesson@swipnet.se
Good luck!
