The main focus of the company at the time was designing and manufacturing keyboards and organs. In the late 1940s, an English man named Thomas Walter Jennings started a music company. Today, however, I’d like to specifically talk about the VOX AC-30 and why I believe it is one of the most special amplifiers around today. I could probably write an entire book with every instance throughout history in which a VOX amp was used. You may not have known that the iconic James Bond Theme was first recorded with a VOX AC-15. Think back to bands like The Beatles, U2, Radiohead, Queen, Dire Straits, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. This single amplifier and its unique tonal qualities have been such an essential piece of musical history. Within the long list of iconic pieces of gear lies an amplifier that is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after pieces of gear by guitarists of all kinds. Some of the most important and most integral pieces of gear in my mind include the Neve 1073 PreAmp, the Fender Twin Reverb, and the Akai MPC.Īmong others, these pieces of gear have shaped the music that we know and love today, helping to craft some of the most iconic records by some of the most legendary bands and artists. These pieces of gear were used across various genres in different generations, many of which remain relevant today. Sánchez (76%) | Gusto (94.1%), Thiago Silva (82%), Colwill (94.8%), Chilwell (95%) | Enzo Fernández (99.1%), Caicedo (90.4%) | Palmer (67%), Gallagher (40.8%), Sterling (94.6%) | Jackson (97.If you look back at the past 50 to 60 years of Western Rock and Pop music, you’ll find that there are a few pieces of gear that have genuinely made their marks. Especially following a not so strong showing against Forest, there must be hope the Chelsea academy player can bounce back and return to the level of play displayed against Liverpool in our Premier League debut. Spearheading the attack is the almost unanimous choice, Nicolas Jackson, boasting a staggering 97.4% fan backing.Ĭonor Gallagher, with a 40.8% fan vote for the central attacking midfield role, does seem to be an interesting outlier. The midfield is expected to be dominated by the pairing of Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo, who have won the trust of 99.1% and 90.4% of fans respectively.Īs for the attacking trio, the wings look poised to be taken by Raheem Sterling with a strong 94.6% vote on the left and Cole Palmer on the right, with the former Manchester City prospect securing 67% of the fans’ preference.

The center of defense seems set to feature the combination of Levi Colwill and the experienced Thiago Silva, earning 94.8% and 82% of votes respectively, as Axel Disasi’s 43.8% suggests that he’s not as much of a fan favourite in light of Poch’s continued preference for him. Left-back duties should rest on Ben Chilwell’s shoulders, who has impressed 95% of the voters.

Malo Gusto, with his impressive 94.1% backing, is the obvious choice for right-back. When it comes to defending, it appears pretty straightforward. While Robert Sánchez is the people’s pick, grabbing 76% of the votes, Djordje Petrovic has gained 23.7% of them as the former Brighton shot-stopper doesn’t yet inspire us much confidence. Goalkeeping duties don’t seem to be settled in the eyes of the fans. Meanwhile the 4-3-3 or its variant, the 4-1-2-3, trail but have garnered a decent 17.9% backing. Today the support for the formation has seen an uptick to 63.7% from 47% ahead of our Nottingham Forest match. Gone are the days where only half of the community was adamant about the 4-2-3-1 formation. However, the WAGNH community has their own insights on how the Blues should tackle Bournemouth today. Coming off the back of a two-week break to reset from a soul-crushing 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge, fans are eager to see how the team line up, especially given the evolving tactics Pochettino has showcased. Chelsea’s ability to recover under Mauricio Pochettino is set to be tested as they travel to face AFC Bournemouth today.
