  • Matchless amplifier and speaker cabinet in music studio with guitars and audio equipment in the background.

    Matchless Clubman

    Alright I confess…this isn’t my amp….but she’s still awesome! This may be the perfect blend between a Chieftain and a DC30. A bit “Marshally” but something unique altogether. Pairs great with the Prosonic and AC30.

  • Benson Chimera

    This amp is already a modern legend. No doubt Chris’ Chimera will live on in the annals of the greatest boutique amps of our time. Is it Fendery? Is it Voxy? Is it Marshally? Nope. It’s its own beast entirely and I love it!

DR80

The Dr. Z Z-80 is Mike’s “legacy” amp and a project 6 years in the making. His goal was to transform the uber-rare Vox AC80 into a tour-ready resurrected rock-n-roll machine. And he succeeded! This particular amp was hand built by the Doc himself and offers a unique contribution to the classic British chime tone we know and love.

Who is The Tone Shepherd?

My name is Devan Bumstead and I’m a follower of Jesus with a burning desire to foster resilient discipleship and an affinity for all things guitar. I’m married, have three children (and a dog) and work full time as an Associate Pastor in Newbury Park, CA. I’ve been leading praise for over 20 years and truly desire the P&W community to thrive in its heart and craft. The Tone Shepherd is my way of resourcing the Church to release the kind of praise Jesus deeply enjoys and stir the hearts of leaders to lead passionately and pastorally. I pray this site encourages you, sharpens you and inspires you!

"Your grace is enough" is a better line than "I'll see you do it again."

I'm not hating on the miracle songs, but the overwhelming amount of popular worship songs that talk about what God can do FOR us instead of songs that talk about what He can do IN us is shocking.

I'm not calling for elimination but balance.

"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, 

the world, and all who live in it"

Psalm 24:1 | NIV

As disciples of Jesus, the lens in which we view our "stuff" is critical to living a Kingdom life.

I struggle with this often because I, personally, have lots of stuff.

So it's helpful for me to constantly put my possessions in the sifter of stewardship and see what falls through and what stays on top.
