We choose four pedals for each other while playing each other’s main guitar and amp. What could possibly go right? This is the audio from our video here: https://youtu.be/DId9REw5pPk Welcome to the show. Regular viewers will know that Dan and I both have a strong 'home' when it comes to our main guitars and amps. In Dan’s case it’s a Fender Telecaster and his Matchless C30 amp. For me it’s a Stratocaster and my Two Rock Classic Reverb Signature. People have been asking how we might fare playing each other’s main gear… so that's what we're doing. And just to make it more interesting, we also choose four pedals for one another that will hopefully challenge and inspire in equal measure. Join us as we go through the selection process and skate out on to the thin ice of each other’s gear. We hope you enjoy this episode. Please subscribe to our channel.

Welcome! In this episode we are delighted to welcome our old mucker, Rabea Massaad back to the show. Not only is Rabea genuinely among the best humans we know, he’s also a truly gifted, creative and inspirational musician. Rabea uses TheGigRig G2 at the heart of his live pedalboard for his band, Toska… but the whole board was in need of an update, rewire and refresh. Time to get to work Dan… Rabea plays through the Toska track ‘Prayermonger’ at the end of the show. He literally stood there and played the guitar parts over a backing track. We watched totally agog! Please check out Toska’s music: https://www.toska.tv/ COVID 19: Before you lambast us for not socially excluding, read this… This video was filmed before the UK lockdown measures. As I explain in the intro, Rabea was on his way to us when the UK government started making noises about being careful about travel around March 16/17. The actual instruction to stay at home did not come until March 23 in the UK. As of that date, we have been working fro
