Dave Amato’s Gear Has Landed at CME! Join us at Chicago Music Exchange as we head into the vault with our good friend Dave Amato! In this special episode, we explore highlights from Dave’s incredible guitar collection, talk vintage guitars, classic Fender amps, and more. Then we head downstairs for a quick interview to dig into his love for Marshall amps and the tones that have shaped his legendary career. We’re beyond excited to have over 100 pieces from Dave Amato’s personal collection available at CME right now! After nearly 40 years of collecting, Dave says it best: “It’s time to thin the herd.” Watch as Dave and David swap gear stories while Nathaniel Murphy jumps in to show how these instruments truly sound. From gigs with Cher, Don Felder, Richie Sambora, REO Speedwagon, and many more, Dave has endless stories from the road and the stage featuring some of the best to ever do it.
