DENIS DOWNING: On behalf of Expert Village, this is Denis Downing at Roxy Studios, New York City and today, I'm going to show you how to set up some band equipment. Back to the backline of the studio, we just don't have the cabinets because we have to supply everything like I said before. So, we try to supply as many different amps and bass amps as possible to suit anybody who's coming in. So, here we have Marshall amplifiers. They're well-known from the '60s right up till now. They're probably the most popular amp on any backline, on most backlines. But things have changed over time and the demand for amps that push a nice, tight, low end has come into play. So, now you have amps like Soldano and Mesa Boogie and 5150 by Peavey or the 6505--are now gaining momentum for that low end tightness.
