The backstage people speak tap about our sound.“Black Oak Arkansas started with Ampegequipment twelve years ago. At least 70% of theequipment we have on stage is from Ampeg.Counting the stuff we have in Arkansas forrehearsal, we’ve probably got a dozen of eachthing Ampeg makes.”Ronnie StoneBusiness Manager“Sound is the first consideration. The guys inthe band are there to make music. They want tohave a certain kind of sound on stage and in thestudio. Every major manufacturer of musicalequipment has a different sound. And it’s strictlypersonal taste. If you like a certain sound thenyou’re going to get it.”Dave GloverDirector of Concerts“We’ve got about 7 tons of Ampegequipment. We’ll pack a 24-foot trailer from top tobottom with our Ampeg gear. I’ve seen an Ampegfall off a tailgate. Never even hurt it.”Ronnie MasonEquipment Manager“Last year we did about 180performances. On a normal tour weaverage two to three thousand milesa week. The Ampegequipmentgets a lot ofwear andtear.”RonnieStone“I can’t remember any show where somethinghas gone out. When the guys are out there playingin front of 100,000 people they don’t want their actto blow up and have no sound coming out. It’sembarrassing.”Dave Glover“Ampeg is easy to service. To check calibrationyou just pop off the front panel and hook up yourmeter. Other equipment isn’t as accessible.”Weasel Greg MorganRoadie“You’ll never walk in and see Black Oak withone amp here and one amp there. That’s not BlackOak. Black Oak is a big stack of Ampegs sitting onthe stage.”Ronnie Stone“Every night there is a different level ofexcitement. Every crowd is different. It’s a lot of hardwork. But a lot of fun, too.”Dave Glover“If it was easy everybody would be doing it”Ronnie Stone“Were a cult following band. We’ve got a lotmore going than just the music itself. Kids are reallyinto us for a lot of other reasons. Like what webelieve in. The farm. What we stand for. ’Ronnie Stone“Our first goal has already beenaccomplished. That’s to go back toArkansas and buy a lot of land and haveeverybody settle down there as onecommunity. We’ve got that now so wefeel very fortunate.”Dave Glover“We have some heavy BlackOak fans. And God love every one ofthem. Jim Dandy is the one most kidspick out. He’s an exceptional person.”Ronnie Stone“They’re having a spring festival this year herein Dallas. It’s a free admission concert. Peopledonated a bag of old clothes to get in. Radio stationKZEW is sponsoring it for the Goodwill Industries.”Dave Glover“We do a lot of free concerts. We just did abenefit up home for the cancer fund. Anotherconcert paid for a new school in Arkansas. Then wegot a hospital wing built. This is where it’s at withBlack Oak. People give to us. We give back tothem.”Ronnie StoneAMPEG.OUR CONSTRUCTION IS SOUND.The Ampeg Company, Box 310, Elkhart, Ind. 46514
