Francis recently switched to the Night Train after playing Vox AC30s since childhood, and will be showcasing the amp on his upcoming solo tour this October.
"I've been using AC30s since I was a kid but never thought I'd switch until I tried the Night Train," he says.
"At last someone has produced a serious quality amp that you can turn up the main volume without it being too loud. The Vox Night train is small enough to carry on the train yet the sound is big enough to play a stadium!"
