Martin developed his engineering ears by working with bands like The Zutons, Black Grape and Sir Paul McCartney. When gearing up for the road as part of Johnny Marr's latest musical excursion, the choice of which DI to go with was never up for debate.
"They're may not be the sexiest bit of equipment we take on tour with us," joked Martin, "but they're essential, sound great and they're 100% reliable. When you're on tour, it's good to have a piece of kit you can totally rely on." His final thought: "Oh, one last thing.any chance I can have another?"
