Chris Buck At TPS – In Better Resolution – That Pedal Show

Published on Aug 27, 2018

We uploaded a video a couple of weeks back that wouldn't process past 360p. Apologies.
We went back and forth, tried to reupload, etc etc etc.

And we finally found something that works, so here it is. It's the same as the other video, just in better resolution. (But still no 4k - go figure, as the process is EXACTLY the same for all our other vids).


In this episode we are delighted to welcome the super talented, humorous and humble Chris Buck to the show. Chris is a wonderful guitar player from South Wales, UK, whose #1 music project is his band, Buck & Evans. http://www.buckandevans.com/
Chris takes us through his pedalboard that’s most notable for the sheer number of similar-ish overdrives on there! We get an insight into his playing style and technique not to mention a cheeky little Strat/Strat/Strat/Silver Sky comparison.
Massive thanks to Chris for taking the time to come and hang at Schwangri-La. Please check him out on all the usual social meedja!
