Greg Koch Plunders TPS!
That Pedal Show - A podcast by Dan & Mick TPS
Categories:
This is the audio from our video here: Greg Koch visits That Pedal Show with the Koch Marshall Trio band for jams and banter. We also demo his signature Reverend Gristlemaster guitar, The Greg Koch amp and of course the Gristle King pedal. Get ready for a ride of truly savage tomfoolery! Ah, Greg Koch. Gregory Kochery. The Gristlemeister, Sasquatch of six-string savagery. Do you dig it? Well we dig it to epic new levels in this video as our old chum finally descends on That Pedal Show to split our sides with tales of epic guitar heroism… and a lot of hard work and frankly idiotic compulsion for this thing we loosely call ‘music’.Greg tells us all about his beginnings as a pro musician, before we get into the nitty-gritty on his signature Reverend guitar, Koch amp and Gristle King pedal. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we are thrilled to welcome Koch Marshall Trio: Toby Lee Marshall on organ, and Gary Koehler on drums for renditions of tracks The Tulsa Tussle, Unrepentant and Sweet Tea. Even Dan and I get in on the action for some jammage.Do we dig it? Enjoy!
