dozens of your favorite players — including Guthrie Govan, Pete Thorn, Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, Dave Kilminster (Roger Waters) and Michael Landau — as devotees to his high-magick talents for amp and electric guitar design. When he launched the first Badger Series of amp heads in 2006, the former senior master builder at the Fender Custom Shop was already thinking of portability, tactile response, and single-channel simplicity.
