Time to refresh the rig, but are Mick’s tonal eyes bigger than his band belly?

Welcome to the show! A bit of extra video stuff for our regular viewers. I’ve been thinking a great deal about my rig lately, so I thought I’d document the process as it morphs into something different, albeit strangely the same.
I know, I know… it’s an indulgence, but this is a YouTube channel and it is kinda what we do. Consider it an act of solidarity with those of you in a similar boat.
Anyway, episode 1, here goes.

For everyone who would much rather see Dan’s rig, also consider the following instruction from the ever-flowing fountain of enlightenment that is The Wurzels: “Don’t tell I, tell ‘ee!” Hopefully ‘ee will oblige in due course.

Enjoy the show!
