Trey
Gunn
King Crimson's heralded Stick player. Trey used one of our
earlier switching systems, the MC-8, then later bought a Switchblade 16
when it became available which he has been using ever since. I saw King Crimson perform in
Denver and never in my life have I experienced such a
complex force of pure musicianship. Many thanks to Trey for
his contributions to the product design of the Switchblade.

icon in the business. Recording Magazine selected him

Walter Becker of Steely Dan
Steely Dan last toured in 2003 and it was one of the
most amazing shows I've ever seen. The sound was
perfect from the first note and the performance was beyond
belief. Walter used a HeadTrip for the entire tour to
switch between his stage amps to get his flawless sound.
You can see his HeadTrip in action (check out the upper
right picture and look just below Walter's music stand in
these
concert photos) and be sure to visit

Don
"Buck Dharma" Roeser
The master guitarist behind Blue Oyster
Cult. I have been a huge fan of BOC and especially of Buck's neural shattering
guitar work ever since a friend turned me on to the first BOC album over 20
years ago. I considered it a great honor when Buck chose to
use our MC-8 switching system as his system of choice
several years ago in his touring rig. He later upgraded
to a Switchblade 16. Look up their website and see this
band!

Steve
Rothery of Marillion
Marillion have never been as big in the US as they are in Europe,
where they are as huge as the universe. Only after I saw them
live in Denver did I realize what a void there had been in my musical
perspective. Steve used the MC-8 for many years and became one of the first Switchblade owners.

invention. Learn more at:

Guitarist
Faisal Moro
... has this to say about his Switchblade GL. "The first
impression is absolutely positive...Really unbelievable. Sound is now clear, defined, in-phase, and can be controlled in real time.
Quality is fantastic. I don't even need my Sonic Maximizer
anymore. Great great great!" Thanks Faisal for the kind
words. |

Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger
The duo use the Switchblade for their large scale public sound art
installations in Vienna, Berlin, Nice, Benaris, India, Linz, Zurich, and
New York. Says Odland "For creating multi-speaker output arrays
from mountaintops, temples, clubs and plazas nothing matches the compact
size, programmability, and flexibility of the Switchblade". Thanks Bruce! |

The
Tea Party

put together as their music, a unique hybrid of rock,

Bruce Somers of
Kidneythieves
Bruce is a power GL user and was the reason we had to go to
125 presets on the Switchblade GL. Who wants to make
that many presets? Who uses that many presets?
Well, we think Bruce is great cause he loves his GL and all
125 of his presets. Check out their latest project at
