With a deep love for sound and an insatiable thirst for sonic exploration, Townsend has carved a unique path in the world of music, defying genre boundaries and pushing the limits of creativity.
“I have a deep love for sound, and have had a long history of playing loud amplifiers in rehearsal rooms and live for many years. My rig, and the requirements for my sound began to become more and more complex to the point where I found myself using digital guitar systems almost exclusively.
“For many years I would use power amps and cabs to run these systems in a 'loud' way while writing with musicians, but recently was turned onto the LFR systems from Laney. This gave me a tuned cabinet with power amp and great sound specifically designed to meet the needs of digital enthusiasts.
“I use the 2x12 version and have even been in talks with them about further work together. It’s a great system that addresses issues inherent in other full range solutions. I really like this product and recommend it.”
