From the interview: “It has an awesome DI, is easy to carry around for smaller shows – it’s super, super light and sounds great. People always say it sounds great but they can hardly see anything on stage. I love, love, love that amp,” she smiles.

"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."
