That Pedal Show – Live From Riff City Guitar In New Hope Minnesota, USA

Published on Dec 8, 2017

This episode is a live show we filmed at Riff City Guitar in New Hope, Minnesota during October 2017.
Riff City is That Pedal Show’s exclusive preferred retailer in the USA. The wonderful Joe Leach and his team have recently opened this store, so to celebrate we headed there with a couple of cameras to do our usual thing in front of group of very lovely and patient humans!
We cover a bunch of topics (please see the timings below) and as usual we could have gone on for a few days, such is the depth and endless wonder of this thing we call guitar tone.

HUGE thanks to Sam Leach for help with the filming. And to Les, Nick, Andrew, Will, Ben and Ellen for their help and kindness during our trip. Thanks of course to Joe for believing in That Pedal Show and helping us to do what we do.

Last but absolutely not least, thank you to everyone who came along to the filming session, and also the following day in the store. It was a great pleasure to meet and chat with so many like-minded people. THANK YOU!
