and a bright switch. f you are looking for pure, expressive, classic
tone, you need to look no further than the VC30. The Ve30-212
is the classic retro option and features a pair of 12" eustom
VC30-112 (Combo)
designed 35 watt drivers. The Ve30 generates very little cross
over distortion because it runs in pure class A mode - its valves
are always hot and reacly for you, which gives it that unmistakable
class A sound and feel, a players tone with many sweet spots.
The ve series are very dynarnic and can be easily controlled by
the pressure of your pick on the strings and many tones can be
found between one and ten on your guitar's volume knob. From
a chiming bright clean sound to the vintage caress of the creamy
overdrive, whether it is single coils or hum buckers, the VC30
Delivers. Available in the 2x12 format, or a 1x12 format, the VC30
also has a 2x10 speaker option. The Ve30-210 comes with
VC30-212 (Combo)
selected custom 1Oinch drivers.

The Ve15-11 O is the baby of the ve range. Built on the distinguished heritage of the VC30, the ve1s delivers a massively
expressive tone for a 'small' amp. 15 watts of amazingly warm or
classic bluesy lead tone powered by matched EL84's and cranked
out through its intemal1 o• speaker. At only 15 watts, the Ve15
can be pushed harder at lower volumes. The power tubes can be
worked harder to create tonai nirvana of pre amp and power amp

working in tandem to create a highly expressive ali valve tone, expressing what we cali 'The Dark Art' if you will. Over the years the
benefits of power amp distortion have been overlooked by people
looking for more pre amp crunch, ending up with fizzy saturation
and a lack of body in guitar tone. The ve1s brings back the classic sounds of non master volume heads when everything needed
to be on ten to an amplifier that can be played in the studio or
small venues. Hooking the Ve15 up to a 4x12 speaker needs to
be heard to be believed!

To oomplement the VC30 range of amp!ifier there are a range of

Southern Revelation Tour 2012
Los Angeles based underground metal veterans My
Ruin featuring lead screamer Tairrie B and guitarist
/ husband Mick Murphy announce their “Southern Revelation Tour” to celebrate the release of My Ruin’s new
seventh album “A Southern Revelation” which the band
are making available as a *Free Download* and gift to
fans starting December 7, 2011 exclusively via
http://www.myruin.net
The tour is being presented by Monsta Ents / STC
Touring in association with Laney Amps, Devolution
Magazine, Seventh Circle Artworks, Redeemer and
Circle Pit. Special guests for the tour are British metal
heavyweights Godsized along with Colchester thrashers and long time friends Sanctorum and Nottingham
rockers Long Day Fear!
Commented Tairrie B: “We’re looking forward to returning to the UK and kicking things off in a big way with
our first show in Glasgow, Scotland on January 18th
for my birthday! In the past we have always played
London on this occasion but since we were forced to
cancel our last show at Classic Grand on our previous
tour due to my being severely ill at the time, we wanted
to do something special for our friends and fans who
have been waiting to see us to make up for it. Previously purchased tickets from March 2011 will remain
valid for the new show and we will be having an after
party / meet & greet following our set on this and a few
other select dates during the tour.
We’re playing many of our favorite cities in the UK this
time around which except for two familiar haunts, will
be our first time playing most of these new venues
including one night near Paris in Vaureal, France which
I’m sure will be a evening to remember and ending
the tour back in England at a deconsecrated church!
We are also excited to announce we have a new
drummer by the name of Isaac Lee. Isaac has replaced
Matt LeChevalier who toured our “Ghosts and Good
Stories” album with us and remains a good friend.
Unfortunately Matt being based in France became a bit
difficult for us logistically and did not allow for My Ruin
to work as much as we would like as a band. With
the new album, we felt it was time to look for a more
permanent drummer.
Although not originally from Los Angeles, Isaac currently lives in LA and we felt an immediate connection
with him when he reached out to us after hearing from
a mutual acquaintance that we were quietly looking
for someone new to fill the drum seat. It’s been great
getting to know Isaac and watch the songs from our
new album come to life with the band which is on fire
at the moment in the rehearsal studio. We just filmed
our first video together for the song “Tennessee Elegy”
and have recently confirmed several warm up shows
which we will soon be announcing in and around LA for
November & December.”
Specially priced advance tickets available here:

Also, there is some more exciting news from the My
Ruin camp.
“Our secret is finally out and we are excited and proud
to announce that we have a new album coming in December! Produced by Mick Murphy & Joel Stooksbury,
“A Southern Revelation” is the seventh full length studio
album by My Ruin. It was recorded at Soundtrack
Black Studio deep in the snowy mountains just outside
of Knoxville, Tennessee in the cold January winter of
2011’’
“As a thank you and gift to our longtime friends, fans
and My Ruin family worldwide, for your continued
support and rock love for us, “A Southern Revelation”
will be made available as a 100% FREE DOWNLOAD
digital only release on December 7th and just in time
for Christmas exclusively via www.myruin.net in
your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any
other format you could possibly desire. The new
album includes 10 tracks: Tennessee Elegy, Highly
Explosive, Walk of Shame, Deconsecrated, Middle
Finger, Vultures, Seventh Sacrament, Reckoning, The
Soulless Beast, and a cover of the Van Halen classic
Mean Street’’
Mick Murphy achieves his huge tone from a VH100R
Head and two GS412IS Cabinets. Check out the
brand new video for ‘Tennessee Elegy’ from their new
album to see Mick and his rig in action.
