"I only own two guitar amps and I keep one on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I have a Carr Rambler that I got made into a class A/B instead of class A, and I really like that. The regular Rambler is an incredible amp that you can’t go wrong with, but because of the way my guitar is tuned, it makes sense to have an amp that delivers more of the percussive and less of the sweet.

For the West Coast, I have a Rambler chassis that actually houses a Carr Impala, with the master volume removed because I don’t need that. Sometimes those amps get swapped and the West Coast becomes the East Coast and vice versa. Both are absolutely great amps, and I’ve never had anything resembling a problem with either one.

For bass amps, I’ve got exactly the same East-and-West-Coast thing happening. Like with my guitar amps, I only own two, but they’re both the same: Mesa Walkabout heads with stock 1x15 cabinets."

"I called up Strymon and got their Leslie thing [Lex Rotary], and I can’t believe how good it is. It blew me away. It beats the living shit out of any other Leslie device I have tried, other than the actual cabinet. When I am doing tours where I have to backline stuff, the amps are always awful."

"The studio had an Ampeg V4B and I used it for the bass. We also used one of those old Fender amps [Pro Reverb] with a 15" speaker. We turned the bass all the way up and the treble all the way down, and it wasn’t on very loud."

Charlie Hunter already used the original Maggie in his setup in 2018, than BTMB modded it to his instructions (see, https://m.facebook.com/bigtonemusicbrewery/photos/customized-this-maggie-for-charlie-hunter-a-few-months-back-added-a-rate-express/1459565927478393). They took these mods and incorporated them into the 2.0 version of the pedal when that was released in 2021. It therefor made sense to have him promo this new incarnation of the pedal.
