As a long-time session and live guitarist, Strymon's own Sean Halley has learned a thing or two about building guitar effects setups - from small boards involving three or four pedals all the way to intensely complicated systems that incorporate MIDI, clock distribution, power-soaking, serial/parallel operation and rack switching units, he's had experience with just about every kind of rig there is. Come along as he builds a demo pedalboard for the road and takes you step-by-step, explaining every part of the process as he goes (and goes and goes), finally testing the board at the end to show a number of different pedal combinations.
