“I’m thrilled with the whole process, and it’s really exciting to put it out into the world and see that it’s already been so well received,”
“I think what the Badlander does, in a lot of contexts, was a real gain for me sonically, because there’s such a usable low-end presence to it,”
“I plugged into one, and I didn’t want to leave. It just did everything I wanted,”
“I'm still a big fan of the MESA/Boogie Mark IV, which I have a slew of in my arsenal.”
“I play my signature ESP bass, the rig is a Mesa 400+ head and a Mesa 8x10 cab, and I’ve been using an EBS compressor pedal.”
“The punch of the EBS 802 is intense and it has the growl and depth to match.”
