Guitar Nerds
Downsizing Your Guitar Rig
Season 5, Ep. 7
•
Hello dear listener,
This week, Matt and I are discussing the art of downsizing one's guitar rig/collection to the essentials! We'll be reviewing the Guitar Nerds Group Facebook Poll to see what ONE guitar you would keep over everything else, and we'll be discussing how Matt can downsize his pedalboard to a selection of essential tones!
(On a side note; apologies for any sync issues between Matt's audio and my own this week. We were trialling a new platform that was so bad we had to abandon the video, and I had to spend hours trying to deal with near constant audio glitching and drift. Normal service will resume next week.)
