"I love API point blank!"
API recently caught up with legendary keyboardist Roger Joseph Manning Jr while on tour with his longtime collaborator Beck at The Anthem in D.C. While discussing his current set up, which includes a pedal board similar to a guitar rig for his keyboard, Roger said he was looking for something that would help give him more consistency and round out his tone. After demoing a pair of API TranZformer pedals, the GT version was a perfect fit in a very unique application.
"I'm happy to report that the GT is going to meet my needs very well! Hooked it up with the rest of my pedal board and it's gonna be great!"
—Roger Joseph Manning Jr.
