I'm always interested in music companies still run by the name on the front plate. ALEMBIC, Peavey, Martin, etc. I always feel it's generally better that the same name has to look at himself in the mirror every morning . . .
Jeff Genzler and his wife are there every day, though they signed with Kaman as their sole distributor. I tried a GBE600/210 set one day at Corner Music and liked what I heard, though the tube side didn't sound a lot different than the SS side. Let us know how it works out. With so many touring acts here in Nashville, that's the real acid test. I know lots of guys who settle for a 'road' sound with indestructible gear rather than take their pet setup and throw it under the bus for the next 6 weeks!
