I Built a Pedalboard Using ONLY My Idols' Go-To Pedals
What happens when you combine the go-to guitar pedals from your biggest influences into one rig? In this video, I’m building a pedalboard, combining the gear used by my all-time guitar heroes and curating a signal chain based on the specific gear that defined the legendary sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Michael Landau, Robben Ford, and more! ⬇️ GEAR & MATERIALS USED IN THIS BUILD ⬇️ ⬇ SIGNAL CHAIN ⬇ Vertex Buffer Interface — https://amzn.to/45MAAOd TheGigRig QMX10 Switching System — https://shop.thegigrig.com/products/q...
