Canadian native and bassist Shane Hendrickson currently juggles a roster of shows touring with fellow Canadians Natalie MacMaster and Aaron Pritchett and now also Nick and Sophie Tweed-Simmons. Hendrickson has long relied on Radial products to deliver under pressure. "I remember pulling into gigs where they had all in-house gear that was pretty subpar,” he says. “However, when I'd see that old beat up Radial DI in their box of "stuff" I breathed a little easier.”
Hendrickson says that his latest darling piece of gear is Radial’s Firefly tube DI, which he uses with a JR-2 Remote. “On gigs where we have an opener, I always offer my rig to the bass player to play through to simplify things,” he says. “With the two channels, they can run their bass through the one I'm not using and mess with the channel trim to their heart's desire – it saves time for the crew and makes everyone happy.”
