Justin Hawkins and The Darkness live on Ant & Dec – Justin with his JH3000 cabs!<\/p><\/div>\n

But bringing riffs to Saturday night TV isn\u2019t all that is on the agenda for The Darkness, fast forward a mere few days and they are in the United States of America for their seven week-long tour, starting over on the west coast in San Diego, slowly weaving their way up and down, side to side like a rollercoaster of riffs and energy to the east coast. You can get the details of the Darkness tour HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What Are The Justin Hawkins Amp Settings & What Amps Does He Play In The Darkness?<\/h3>\n

What rig is the monstrous Justin Hawkins playing though I hear you ask? Well hot damn it is the mighty mini Laney JH3000 which is Justin’s custom version of the Laney IRT120H<\/a><\/strong>, BEHOLD the settings and amplifiers in their rack mount:<\/p>\n

Justin Hawkins amp Settings and amplifier set up – This is how you sound like Justin Hawkins with the JH3000!<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s right, what normally may be seen to be the \u2018IRT-SLS\u2019 is now the powerful JH3000-SLS, and okay, yes it may just have some rack wings and some fancy JH3000 logos and is actually just an IRT-SLS but it is better now because look at it glow, look how majestic it is within its new rack-mounted home, from Halesowen to HELL YEAH ‘MERICA! It also looks like he’s using some UK guitar pedals for a USA tour<\/a><\/strong>, too!<\/p>\n

If you want to know what else Justin Hawkins uses, check out our quick Justin Hawkins Gear Guide<\/a><\/strong> as he’s now part of the Laney Family of artists<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Never fear, the JH3000 cabs are still there too, behind Justin across the states to blow minds and melt faces at every gig:<\/p>\n
