Welcome to the show! For our last show of 2020 we thought we’d have a bit of fun with a challenge. You have just 15 minutes to throw four pedals on a board and get out the door, grabbing an amp and two guitars as you do. What do we choose?
Yes, we spelt Wahcko wrong. We know, we know, we know. Thanks for letting us know. It was loo late to reoutput and reupload. Sorry.
Enjoy the episode, dedicated to the late, great Les Dawson.
