We are thrilled to welcome Livio Careddu to the SCHERTLER family, a recently appointed Ambassador. Talented French harmonica player, Livio has chosen the powerful DAVID X amplifier as his stage companion. We recently sat down with Livio to discuss his experience with SCHERTLER amps..
Q: Bienvenue Livio! We're delighted to have you as our French ambassador. You initially considered the GIULIA X, but ultimately chose the DAVID X. Can you tell us about that decision?
A: Thank you! Yes, I was initially drawn to the GIULIA X – it's a fantastic compact amp. The sound quality is incredible; the clarity and precision are truly remarkable. I visited the SCHERTLER headquarters in Mendrisio recently, and that's where I really got to test both amps side-by-side. The team there was very helpful, and after spending some time with the DAVID X, I realized its extra power would be invaluable for the diverse range of gigs I play. While the GIULIA X would be perfect for more intimate settings, the DAVID X gives me the headroom I need for louder venues and a more bluesy, rock-oriented sound..
Q: You mentioned the clarity and precision. How important are those qualities for your harmonica playing?
A: Absolutely crucial. With harmonica, you're dealing with a very delicate instrument. You need an amp that can reproduce every nuance, every subtle bending of the note, without coloring the sound. The X-series amps excel in this area. They allow my playing to shine through, whether I'm playing clean and melodic or pushing it harder with overdrive.
Q: What was your experience like visiting the SCHERTLER headquarters?
A: It was fantastic! The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the team was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their products. Being able to test the amps in such a controlled environment, with the expert advice on hand, really helped me make the right decision. It was a great experience all around.
Q: Any final thoughts for aspiring harmonica players considering a SCHERTLER amp?
A: Absolutely. If you're serious about your harmonica playing and want an amp that will faithfully reproduce your sound with exceptional clarity and power, then look no further than SCHERTLER. The X series are a game-changer. You won't be disappointed.
Schertler: Thank you so much for your time, Livio. We look forward to a long and successful partnership!
Livio: The pleasure was all mine! Thank you.
