Marooned you say? What rig would we choose on that desert island?

Welcome to the show! We’re revisiting a challenge we did all the way back in 2016 - The Desert Island Pedalboard/Guitar Rig Challenge. You can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA7hmwNjuTo

With almost a decade since our last marooning, what has changed? And yes, we’re assuming there is electricity on the island. Hahahah!

Enjoy the show!
