James Demeter (may 2003) — "Ben is now using Demeter Amps, two TGA-2 100 watt amp heads and two as backup, exclusively for both clean and dirty sounds. He uses two at once, one mostly 'clean' the other mostly 'dirty' but he can footswitch between modes with the amps."

"He has 2 custom 4 x 10' Demeter Speaker Cabinets and three 2 x 12" Demeter cabinets. He also uses Demeter Compulator, Fat control and Tremulator Pedals as well as Demeter Tube Direct stereo/mono (acoustic guitar) and a Demeter H series Tube Microphone pre and compressor on his voice live. Juan Nelson uses a Demeter VTBP-201 for his Bass." — Interview by Emmanuel Rivet © www.swer.net


Ben Harper — "I use a Demeter 100 watt head and what’s great about it is that it’s got very true clean and dirty channels. The dirty channel gets up and kicks ass, and the clean channel is very sweet like a tweed Fender Bassman, which I love."
