Can One Tiny Pedal Make the Difference?

About this episode

Janek discusses building a new pedalboard and explores important topics related to health and mental well-being for musicians.

I just built a brand new pedalboard from scratch and share the signal chain and some of the sounds with you in this episode. We also get into some much more important topics on the subject of our health and mental well-being as musicians. As I mention in the episode, I want to hear from you in the comments, get feedback on what you would like to hear more about, and moving forward it would be great to include elements of the behind the scenes of daily musician life. A life that doesn’t have to be sedentary and unhealthy, and that can lead to you being around way longer to make way more music.
