That Pedal Show:
Dan and Mick started That Pedal Show because they are nuts about great guitar sounds. In order to do it exactly how they want to do it with no commercial obligations, they don't accept payment, sponsorship or product placement deals from guitar gear companies.
The main focus is effects pedals, but that also means a lot of talk about amps, guitars and everything else that goes into making fantastic tones. You can expect demos and comparisons of new and not-so-new gear, all with plenty of comment and opinion.
