ESP Sound Systems Crew

Paul Duffley ~ Owner
It all began back in the 80’s when I became a disc jockey, believe it or not!

I loved music loud and clean. It became rather annoying when I was doing parties that had old ladies show up and they would sit right in front of the speakers, then complain that the music was too loud. After a few years of that, I gave up and started to roadie for the Catunes (a local band with a regional following). That brought me to the late 80’s when I began to work as a crew member with Red Line Sound, mixing sound and loving the quality of equipment they carried.

In the early 90’s I became the House Engineer at The Harp in downtown Boston and after about 2-1/2 years I took the soundman position with Clutch Grabwell and still mix them today.

After a couple of shows of using equipment that was not qualified to use in some bedrooms, and the upcoming retirement of Red Line Sound, I made my move and bought the latest equipment from JBL, Crown, and Allen-Heath. I liked it so much I bought a second one and am looking to purchase more.

You'll see as you read the rest of this page, I have very qualified engineers working with our equipment.

Sus ~ Freelance Engineer / Business Owner
Bob "Sus" Susi brings somewhere around 27+ years of Audio Engineering experience to the table.
People may ask, how can this ancient sonofabitch still mix? The answer remains the same:
"With enough balls to still knock a drink out of any punter's hand, that's how!"

Former employers include: Aerosmith, Foghat, The Jets, New Man, Paradise Rock Club, Bunratty's, Christian Science Monitor Radio, and a whole lot more...
Wiz ~ Freelance Engineer / Web Store Designer
JohnnyWiz has done his time in the trenches. Wiz & Sus both paid their dues as House Engineer at the once infamous Bunratty's in Allston, Ma. mixing 3 to 6 bands a night, 7 nights a week
Learning just enough to be dangerous, Wiz blew town and hit the road for a 10 year run.
Former employers include: los lobos, del Fuegos, Morphine, The Joneses, Swinging Steaks, TT the Bear's, Bunratty's, Paradise Rock Club
Dave Duffley ~ System Tech

My first real experience with music started when Kiss 108 first hit the airways. My brother, Paul Duffley began purchasing DJ equipment and started to pick up paying gigs. I wanted to have a piece of his success so I started assisting him by carrying the equipment. Although, Paul provide the music I provide some of the entertainment until the guests started to party. From there I followed Paul into the band scene. In most cases I still was too young to stay at the clubs to listen to the bands. But I would help set up the equipment. I became a roadie working for Mark Morris and the Cat tunes. I also worked with Paul setting up for Newsboys. Once Paul started mixing for Red line sound, I found roadie work with a 50’s band called Michael Jay’s inn crowd from the North Shore. That gig didn't’t last long. I was away from the business for years until December 05 when, Paul needed a person to assist with setting up his own equipment for his busy schedule.

Norman ~ Freelance Engineer

Norman is known for his Jedi mind tricks.
He has the physic ability to tell in advance if a band plans on tipping him or not.
This valuable skill set is a proven time saver in determining when to engage the "Suck" button.
We all have a lot to learn from Nawmin, mainly from past mistakes.
