Building Robben Ford’s Latest Pedalboard [For Autumn & Winter 2024 Gigs]
Published 15 November 2024
Duration:
00:20:31
Robben is doing some gigs in Europe & the USA and needed some tweaks to his board… Dan gets building!
Welcome to the show! Dan here, hello. I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Robben Ford, in order to help him get a pedalboard together that not only gives him a great selection of sounds… but that’s also reasonably realistic to travel with.
This show is a vlog of the reorganisation of an existing board, complete with a whole bunch of tips and tricks that will be of use to you too.
Needless to say, it’s an honour and a pleasure to help Robben. I’m consistently inspired by his motivation to always evolve and move things forward with his remarkable tone.
Enjoy the show!
