"Right now I'm using the Governor and Texas Heat in a 2x12 set-up. The speakers compliment each other perfectly. I get the tight lows and punchiness from the Heat and the creamy midrange and warm compression from the Governors." - Derek Williams Since earning his degree in Classical Guitar at Austin Peay State University, the young Nashville native has made quite a name for himself in the Nashville scene.
