Phil Campbell
MOTÖRHEAD

Philip Campbell was the guitarist in “Motörhead” from 1983 until the band split up in 2015. On stage you see him with Gibson Firebirds and Les Pauls. He also uses Framus guitars, as well as his signature models from Lag and Minarik Guitars. To get an authentic sound, you should definitely use a guitar with humbuckers. Phil’s sound changed somewhat over the band’s decades, meaning more gain. That is why we recommend the AMP1 Iridium. It gives you plenty of gain in reserve. But this sound is also possible with the AMP1 Mercury Edition.
