Misfits / Jerry Only

The Misfits have been touring with Nady Wireless Systems since the 80's. This year Jerry has endorsed Nady's U33B Bass Wireless System:

"We've only used one wireless ...NADY. The unit itself got smaller but with their new Bass Boost feature on the U33B wireless, the sound is even BIGGER. It's got a monster crunch sound regardless of the volume of the amp. It hits you right in the gut where the Bass should. You can feel it. The power of this new wireless will rattle your bones."

REO speedwagon / Dave Amato

There are gear heads and then there is Dave. Dave has toured and played with Jimmy Barnes, Ted Nugent, Cher and joined REO SpeedWagon in 1989. Dave has appeared on records from Kim Carnes, Motley Crue, Richie Sambora and many others. During the mid-90’s, after 10 years of touring, Dave decided to turn in his rack of Nady 1200 GT VHF wireless systems and opted to go with the 950GS UHF system... but he was still fond of the tone his 1200VHF system provided.

Respecting Dave's individual taste and musical requirements, the Nady engineering staff was able to accommodate him with what is now known as the Dave Amato/REO Mod. The 1200 VHF wireless rack was used by a well known 90’s band debut tour for two non-stop years. Be sure to catch REO Speedwagon on tour and witness Dave's energy-packed performance with his Nady wireless!

Elvin Bishop

One evening in 1969 a young John Nady was at the Matrix Club in San Francisco. He introduced the prototype wireless guitar system he was developing to the musicians playing at the club.

Elvin Bishop had relocated from the Chicago blues scene to San Francisco and was one of the first musicians to try John's wireless system that night. Elvin was impressed and encouraged John to pursue his invention ...wisdom and foresight! Elvin was one of Nady's earliest supporters and has been using a Nady Wireless guitar system during his performances of electrified down-home blues for almost 40 years! Most recently, Elvin has picked up a Nady U-1000GT system.

Eric Sardinas

Eric's Electric Dobro delta blues style has been described as a cross between Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughn. It has been written that after years of inhaling the essence of various styles of blues, Eric Sardinas finally "exhaled". In doing so, he consequently gave birth to an exhilarating, powerful and sometimes terrifying new style that's real, raw and wickedly intense.

Eric's Nady wireless system has allowed him the performance freedom that once witnessed, will never be forgotten!

Dwight Yoakam / Pete Anderson

With over three decades of music under his belt, Pete Anderson shows no signs of slowing down. In the early 80’s Pete was introduced to Dwight Yoakam, a struggling singer- songwriter. Needing a substitute guitar player for a club gig, Yoakam called Anderson. The two hit it off and started working together, honing Yoakam's sound powered by the musical direction and fiery guitar playing of Anderson.

In 1985 Yoakam was signed to WarnerBros. Records marking the beginning of a partnership that would span 20 years and resulting in the sales of millions of albums worldwide...all produced by Pete Anderson. Pete has also produced projects by Roy Orbison, k.d.lang, Lucinda Williams, Buck Owens, Michelle Shocked and the Meat Puppets among others.

Pete has used Nady Wireless since his early touring days with Dwight Yoakam and uses Nady studio mics at Little Dog Studio recording sessions. Recently, during Winter NAMM, Pete picked up a Nady 1260 60-watt Tube combo guitar amp.

Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash started using Nady wireless in the early 80’s with tunable 400/500 systems. In the mid 80’s he switched to the 700 system and then to the 950GS system in the 90’s. Nady Systems is proud to have been a part of his legacy.

Johnny Cash is the only man to have been inducted into the Rock, Country and Songwriter Hall of Fame. Since the early 1980's the man in black has been touring with Nady wireless systems. According to stage monitor engineer Kent Elliot, Cash chose the 950GS system for its road reliability, multi-channel operation and dynamic range. Guitar Technician Brian Farmer notes, 'We've toured around the world three times and never had a drop-out or interference problem where we couldn't find a clear frequency. I'd like to call it 160 channels of clarity.'"
