That Pedal Show | 8 months ago
We put together a couple of pedalboards for two key workers in need of some tone help.
Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show. Coronavirus / Covid-19 has affected the whole world in seismic proportions. Those of who aren’t key workers have felt a little bit helpless: staying at home, or maybe getting some shopping for a vulnerable neighbour is about as much as we can do, other than some charity donation here and there. What we’re doing here isn’t making a big difference to many, but it is our tiny way of acknowledging our gratitude to the key workers and front-line staff.
Dan put out a post on Facebook asking if there were key workers in need of some tone help. We picked two people at random from the responses and built them a small board each, using stuff either from our personal stash of gear, or kindly donated by the manufacturers. Massive thanks to everyone involved!
It’s a little bit of good news for the people involved, and hopefully some handy pedalboard building advice for everyone else.
Please enjoy the show.
