Dan undertakes an epic board build from scratch for our good friend Jack

Welcome to the show! There are times in life when you just need to start from scratch. This is one such time for our good friend Jack Griffiths, who has recently quit the day job - you may know him from Peach Guitars - to go all-in as a professional musician.
Jack approached Dan for a TBB - Total Board Build - to give him everything he might need in terms of compression, gain stages, modulation, delay and reverb… into either regular guitar amps or direct to DAW/desk. It’s a big job, but somebody’s gotta do it!
Sit back, grab a beverage of your choosing and enjoy watching Jack’s dream board come into being.

Enjoy the episode!
