GEAR DATABASE

You asked for it, but Houston, we have a problem…

Welcome to the show. This challenge has been suggested many times by many people, the idea of pitting one brand against another using a MonoBrand approach to each of our pedalboards.
As it turned out the challenge was very different because of the pedals we had to hand - in short we have LOADS of Boss pedals and almost no MXR pedals. Argh! What to do? Max five pedals, one guitar, one amp… GO!
Enjoy the show!
