Chris Buck Pedalboard Build
Friday, July 12, 2019
Duration:
1:01:14
In this episode we welcome the fantabulous Sir Christopher Of Buckshire back to TPS Manor.
Chris is the Buck in Buck & Evans, about which you can discover more on ye olde Interwebs: http://www.buckandevans.com/
Chris visited us back in August 2018 where we made this video: https://youtu.be/T-hKSOz-VBw and in this visit he returns to update his pedalboard with a full G2-based system. Dan and Chris discuss the layout and other requirements before cracking on with the build. We then plug it in and have a good listen… of course.
Massive thanks to Chris for his time and always-excellent hangs!
Enjoy the episode!
