QuoteYou've also worked closely with amp designer Steven Fryette.

Yes, and that's largely because we are friends and have developed an actual relationship. It started because I fell in love with his amps, and have been using them for a long time now. My favorite amp is the Deliverance 120, which I carry around here on the East Coast or when there's a truck. I think some of the modifications I asked for in my original Pitbull 45 made it into that amp and also the Sig:X. I helped him a little bit in voicing the Deliverance, but more with the Sig:X, and the Memphis, and I was deeply involved with the aftermath of the amazing Aether combo. I also don't think Steve would have ever considered making the Power Station [Integrated Reactance Amplifier] attenuator if he wasn't sick and tired of watching me play every great amp ever through compromising attenuators, for practical reasons, and if I hadn't kept ranting in his specific direction, "Someone needs to make a ****ing attenuator that actually does what's needed for the people who need it!"
