Bachman endorsed the Garnet amplifiers back in 60's-70's. In this advert, we can see him with Garnet Herzog.
At 3:00 Gordie Johnson of Wide Mouth Mason, Grady, and Big Sugar discusses his Garnet Herzog in this documentary, stating, "My love of Garnet, It's the simplicity of the circuit, there is nothing that gets in the way of what you're trying to do... This is my effects rack right here, I have no effects pedals... My amplifier repair guys down there in Texas... and they look at the schematic, and they're like, It's beautiful! It's like art that only an electrician can truly appreciate. The guy looked at it and almost wept...how simple it was...How does it sound so good? Well, that could be the reason why."
