Although there has been a silent underground following of Marillion for many years here in the States, they have somehow managed to avoid general detection here. The fact is, they are as big as the universe in Europe. I had an opportunity to see them a few years ago here in Colorado and only then did I realize what a void there had been in my musical perspective. Steve had also been an MC-8 user for many years and became one of the first Switchblade owners when it became available and has been touring with it ever since. Guitarist Faisal Moro is a Switchblade GL user and has this to say about his recent aquisition.
Quality is fantastic.
Thanks Faisal for the kind remarks. Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger have been using the Switchblade for their large scale public sound art installations in Vienna, Berlin, Nice, Benaris, India, Linz, Zurich, and New York City. See their web site here.
