Budget Guitar Rig Challenge – Dan Vs Mick: That Pedal Show
That Pedal Show - A podcast by Dan & Mick TPS
Categories:
We challenge each other to put together a whole guitar rig on a small budget – one guitar, one amp and three pedals on a board. What do we choose and who wins? Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Yep, it’s come to this. We’ve finally succumbed to the ravages of clickbait-driven populist drivel… and made a very long, discursive, in-depth video again. Ha! But at least this one features some cheap gear for a change. ‘Don’t you mean ‘affordable’, Michael?’ No, we mean CHEAP. Cheaper than chips. The cheapest chips in town. Erm, and some slightly less cheap and much tastier ones too. There are some exceptional sounds today, and some to which we take exception. There’s a lot of hiss, a bit of pish but I’ve run out of alliterative ideas so I’ll finish with tish, fish McNish.Come on, make a wish. Final scores on the doors were:Mick’s rig: £1,034 – not £900 like he said at the end of the videoDan’s rig: £466 – not £360 like he said at the end of the video. Enjoy the episode!
