 | September 2011 - Australian Musician reviews the Bad Boy 120 head and C412 Standard cabinet. Here are some highlights: "3 amps in one, as each channel has its own identity, yet still maintains some continuity between tones and voicings. There is a lot of versatility here, just about as much as I’ve seen in non-modelling amp." "DV Mark has put some great tones in a lightweight, user friendly package with the Bad Boy 120, so if you need versatilliy and power without having to ‘hang out’ with your chiropractor every week, check out this amp." "There is just about every feature you could ever need for just about every style, as well as a few interesting features like a high/ low bias (which selects how much juice you suck out of the tubes), effects loop with a loop assign, and a cool 5 button footswitch that can select each channel, add a solo boost, and activate effects."

 | Frank Gambale and DV Mark About DV Mark, Frank says: “Finally! An amp that sounds exactly right—and like me, it has Italian roots! Plug in and go… awesome tone without having to search.” Grammy winning guitar virtuoso Frank Gambale exploded on the L.A. scene in the early 80s. His meteoric rise to fame is a testament to his passion-powered playing–a style Rolling Stone Magazine called “ferocious”! Gambale is the undisputed genius who propelled sweep picking from a technique to an art form which continues to inspire generations of musicians. Jazz, rock, metal and prog artists alike are united in their awe of Frank as both an amazing technician and an unsurpassed musician. As jazz legend, Chick Corea, describes Frank: “Everything you touch with your guitar turns gold – always has.” While John McLaughlin’s tongue-in-cheek response to his finesse is “I’d like to cut his hands off.” A musician’s musician, gifted composer, brilliant innovator and author of numerous instructional books, Frank continues to reach unprecedented sonic and technical heights. His six string prowess and seemingly limitless vision point towards an exciting future of ground breaking music. Whether Gambale is touring the world with his Fusion Jazz Trio, the Natural High Trio, his new vocal group Soulmine, or joining forces in an iconic jazz super group, Frank continues to amaze audiences around the world.

 | Nguyên Lê and DV Mark Born in Paris of Vietnamese parents, Nguyên Le began to play drums at the age of 15, later taking up guitar and electric bass. After early explorations with a multi-ethnic group called Ultramarine, in 1987 Nguyên was chosen by director Antoine Hervé to play with the ONJ (French National Jazz Orchestra). In this big band, he played with such musicians as Johnny Griffin, Didier Lockwood, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Randy Brecker, Toots Thielemans, Courtney Pine, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Gil Evans and Quincy Jones. Nguyên Le's contribution included programming synthesizers, effects and computers, and writing orchestral pieces. Nguyên was one of the guest guitarists included in the “Universe of Jimi Hendrix” at the Stuttgart Festival, alongside Trilok Gurtu, Terry Bozzio, Cassandra Wilson, Jack Bruce, Vernon Reid, David Torn, Victor Bailey and Pharaoh Sanders. And in 2002, he released “Purple”, an album that also celebrated Hendrix. It immediately hit #1 on the charts of UK’s Jazzwise magazine—and to date it is Nguyên’s most successful album, with sales of over 20,500. Nguyên was unanimously awarded the “Django d'Or” guitar award in 2006. Nguyên has also performed with John McLaughlin, Michel Petrucianni, Ornette Coleman (“Freedom Statue”), Miroslav Vitous, Kenny Wheeler, Uri Caine, Ralph Towner, Richard Bona, Terri Lyne Carrington, Matt Garrison, John Taylor, Markus Stockhausen, Enrico Rava, Ray Anderson, Dave Douglas, Wolfgang Pushnig, Michel Portal, Geri Allen, Gary Thomas, Maria Schneider, J. F. Jenny Clarke, Aldo Romano, Daniel Humair, Dewey Redman, Andy Emler, Jon Christensen, Nana Vasconcelos, Glenn Ferris, Christof Lauer, Paolo Fresu, Art Lande, Paul McCandless and Jamey Haddad. "I love DV Mark equipment!” says Nguyên. “Marco de Virgiliis is a smart and great creator of musical equipment, very much attached to listening to what musicians play and say, and very aware of the possibilities of today's technology. That's the best way to get your own perfect sound." | |||
