Mentioned in this 2007 Guitar Center interview and listed in this November 1, 2010 Bass Player interview.

Guitar Center

I have a certain setting for each amp and output from the bass. It's pretty simple but hard to explain... Hughes and Kettner amps is what I use for recording and also on the road. But on the road I need some additional power for which I add Alembic pre-amps and two Crown Macro Tech 5000 and two Macro Tech 3600's...that's the Bootzilla monster sound.
