What gear has been made famous by whom.


From a digital standpoint i feel that Charles Dye has helped make the ren comp very famous, and duy and analog channel.

Me and my big mouth - the Cranesong "Hedd"
(Definitely too big an achievement to lay full claim to, but my continued rantings about it for the last 7 years, on about 5 different on line forums, may have played a significant part in its popularity)

I was using those things before Charles really started evangelizing (I mean that in the best way - I met him at Digiworld Boston a few years back and had a great chat!)

I wouldn't say he made those tools famous, as we already knew about them

Agreed, although Hank Marvin definitely contributed to it's popularity before Hendrix.
