Join myself and my friends (Tim Marchand, Taylor Matherne, and Michael Williams) taking a look at the first 16 pedals from an internationally eclectic group of builders we are going to focus on for Episode 1. We'll be taking these 16 pedals into the studio for "Part 2" on August 2nd and attempting to record the first song in this album.

The first part of this video is dedicated to thanking all of the incredibly generous series sponsors and contributors that helped us bring this whole idea to life.
