Eric Stewart

Mentioned as an "XVR distortion unit" on page 11 of the August 1975 issue of Beat Instrumental.

Back, though to equipment. Being almost a traditionalist in his choice of axes, Eric is staying put with his favourite amplifiers, Marshall.

"I'm using a 50 watt Marshall on full and I use an XVR distortion unit and an XVR phase module through it. I think the Marshall's my favourite amp. I've tried solid -states but, although they are very, very loud, they're just not right for me. I'm never really satisfied with my sound because I'd like to be able to get a Carlos Santana sound — you know, feedback and sustain at really low volume, or maybe a Jeff Beck sound. That's a matter of technique as much as anything, and I know I can't quite get it."
