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. Visit: www.thatpedalshow.com |

YAMAHA GUITARS:
Every element of how Yamaha design and craft our guitars is built around their mission to make instruments that inspire. Their guitars are made differently ‒ theyʼre made in Yamaha. Yamaha have been making guitars since 1966, but that doesn't make them stuck in their ways. Whether its a completely new way of building a guitar, or just a new switch tip, innovation is what makes for a Yamaha guitar.
