Hogarth and Hoax Productions - {Gov't Mule, Roger Waters, The
Black Crowes, Shawn Colvin, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and Jewel are
some of the artists this Grammy-winning producer/engineer/mixer
has had the joy of working with over his two decades in the recording
studio.
Ross' wide varied experience and taste opened up all creative doors
and usual and unusual possibilities. He's never allowed himself
to be pigeonholed or trapped in any one musical genre as his studio
work runs the gamut from the heavy metal insanity of Motley Crue
and Coal Chamber to the Grammy-winning Keb' Mo' release Slow Down
to recent releases by Melissa Etheridge (Lucky), Ziggy Marley (Dragonfly)
and John Fogerty (Deja Vu (All Over Again)}

- I have been using the Phoenix for a while now with great success.
Now that I have an authorization on my Ilok...I will still be able
to use it at the festivals we are going to hit in europe this summer.
I don't think I can do a show without it.!!! (taken from

Jake Mann, FOH engineer with reunited Stray Cats,
as well as monitors for ZZ Top (2007) - "I can't live without
the Phoenix, Mann says. It is an amazing plug-in and
I use it in more places than I would have originally thought. I
spent some time talking with Scott Lillo from Crane Song, which
was enlightening. The Phoenix will do wonders for your low-end instruments,
and the overall effect of it on in-ear mixes is pretty amazing,
too! -- Mix
