You’re just showing me what I want to see!

Pedals And Effects Top Ten Pedals of 2015

Here we go with Pedals And Effects Top Ten Pedals for 2015 and this year came with some radical sounds!

Show Me Your Pedalboard: Tony

Show Me Your Pedalboard: Tony

Today’s Show Me Your Pedalboard entry comes from bass player Tony! Tony is rocking an incredibly modest, but colorful board. These tiny boards are phenomenal for traveling with, especially when you have to deal with public transportation, going from venue to venue, or even if you’re just biking around town. These boards can fit into your backpack which makes it easy to get through airports, especially with TSA these days. Sheesh. Sometimes it’s best to leave the kitchen sink at home and work with the essentials. Let your instrument and your amp do all the heavy lifting, there’s also way less signal degradation if you’re into that sort of thing. Anyways! Let’s take a look at what Tony is rocking out with:

Well, when someone is given pedals as gifts, we feel obligated to at least do a video featuring the pedals, so here are DOD’S FX58 Metal Maniac and FX59 Thrash Master distortions!
