On the Road and in the Studio with Visual Sound

Pete Townsend/The Who

(no image)

Five decades of onstage antics, theatrical concept records never done previously, and a style that has inspired the many who followed him, Pete Townsend is the Mozart of our time. Smashing guitars and swinging his arm like a gunslinger with a pistol on his finger, Pete Townsend is the original theatrical stage guitarist. His writing is legendary and has been glorified on stage with The Who as well as film and ultimately with the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Tommy. Pete is single-handedly responsible for creating Rock Opera with "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia!" These days, Pete continues to create as well as tour with The Who around the world. Pete and his long-time tech, Michael Kaye, have chosen Visual Sound as a part of his infamous sound. Michael recently told us, "The 1Spot is a simple solution to various problems... it is the only reliable power supply which will work at any voltage from 100 to 240 volts and at 50 or 60 cycles. You are covered whether at home in the studio, or on a World Tour. The 1Spot won't cause any noise, buzz or hum and will keep your pedals very happy..." Visual Sound is honored to be a small part of the hugely successful career of Pete Townsend and The Who.
