GEAR DATABASE

Boss BP-1w, Hudson Broadcast, TC Spark Mini, LAA NV81, Soundgas 636P and Type G

Welcome to the show.

We’ve done boost and preamp shows before, and you know we love them all! They all do somewhat the same job – make louder - but they're far from all the same, with their differing treatments of gain, EQ, compression and all that other dynamic stuff.

We’re chucking a handful on the board to hear what’s what, and hopefully spark - geddit? - some ideas in you.

Today’s pedals range from £50 to £1,500 which is insane by any analysis. But if you profess to be sane, what in gawwwd's name are you doing here?

Enjoy the show!
