Some right royal rigs to help your Accession To The Tone!
Blimey. Here we are during the celebration weekend for the coronation of King Charles III of the United Kingdom. So what better excuse for a royal-themed challenge show?! We must both choose up to five things and one guitar that are either royal- or heraldic-themed… in order to demonstrate some key concepts of guitar tone. What could possibly go right?
Who shall be crowned King Of Tone, and who will be sent to the Tower?
Enjoy the show…

Four new-ish noiseboxes Mick picked up at NAMM
Welcome to the show! No fussing: it’s a straight-up old-school pedal play-through today. Mick here, hello. I ended up bringing four things back from NAMM 2023, largely as a result of bumping into people who handed me pedals – nothing more than luck of the draw. As it turns out they’re all gain pedals, which is a good thing because there’s always room for one more, right?
Colosseum switching direction confusion - just for the record we wired it all ways; four jacks, two jacks, the other two jacks… Couldnt make it work, sorry!
Both amps are on all the time, just in case you are wondering.
Enjoy the show…
