Can the boys turn in a decent board for sensible money? Let’s find out…

Welcome to the show. £250 is a lot of money to spend on pedals. No matter how ridiculous we get with the finery at That Pedal Show, it’s still a lot of money.
Can either of us put an entire giggable board together for £250? Of course we can! But by what measure? What’s important to us? How do we approach this, and where did we succeed and fail?

Enjoy the show!

GET YOUR COGS OFF: In your YouTube ‘cog’ settings options, there is a ‘stable volume’ option. If you want the audio to be the closest to what we recorded, turn ‘stable volume’ OFF.
