        Ep. 224 - Anything is portable if you pick it up

          • Dimension C https://www.boss.info/us/products/dc-2w/

            • From discord: 00:34:04

            Talk about the logistical workings of shaping an entire rig from scratch.  For either home use, recording, gigs, what a board would realistically have to look like, pedal choice is mostly personal preference but most will have the same ingredients.  Real amp or sim of some kind. How portable do you want it to be?
