"I’m a huge fan of Roland, I’ve always used Roland and BOSS products through the years. As a matter of fact, I’m using the BOSS GS-10 now. It’s incredible because it does so much. We as musicians today are always using computers, and everything needs to go through them. If we want to get an idea down, we have to turn everything on, then by the time you’re ready to lay it down you may have missed the chance to capture the creative idea you were working on. This is one of the things I like about the GS-10, besides being able to interface with the computer — you just turn it on and it’s ready to go. It’s right there. You can take GS-10 to your hotel room. You can take it backstage. The GS-10 has speakers built in, and it’s got the amp and speaker modeling internally along with a tuner built in. Many of the interfaces on the market only have MIDI or audio. The GS-10 has not only MIDI , it’s an audio interface as well. I’m telling you the GS-10 is so flexible — I think of it as the musician’s Swiss Army Knife. The GS-10 is one of the only pieces of equipment like this that can be used as a stand-alone unit. The speakers in my laptop do not have much tone, so when I want good tone, I use the speakers in the GS-10 for playback; we don’t have to wear headphones."

"I also checked out the new Roland DS-8 monitors. They’re the first powered monitors that I’ve used, what a difference in sound the speakers make when the power is matched with the cabinets. Sometimes, I undermatch the power or even give too much power to the speaker, but with the DS-8s, you can’t go wrong. The DS-8’s are completely digital speakers with digital connections; you are hearing exactly what you are putting in. There’s no second-guessing here."
