That Pedal Show – Josh Smith Pedalboard & Guitar Lesson! Folsom

Last Updated 12/16/2021


Here's a great video about Josh Smith's set up. Josh is an amazing guitarist who plays a lot of blues and rock. The crazy part is he uses 13s for his string gauge! It creates a wonderful sound. He also likes playing through Vox style AC 30s and Super Reverbs at the same time. 

Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store https://www.thatpedalshowstore.com Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. In this episode we welcome incredible musician/solo artist and all-round diamond geezer, Josh Smith to That Pedal Shed. We’ve admired Josh’s breathtaking guitar skills and musicality for a number of years now. Dan recently put together his flying board that he uses when touring… which is exactly what he was doing during February 2018, when he was good enough to drop in, talk us through the board AND give us all an invaluable set of guitar lessons to boot! For more on Josh, please head to http://www.joshsmithguitar.com/ If you want to buy his latest record, Over Your Head, it’s available in all the usual places, including on VINYL! If you want to know more about Josh’s main guitar, please go here: http://www.chapinguitars.com/ We must also say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the supremely talented and humble Ariel Posen who was on tour with Josh. Ariel was very sporting for a little gag during this video, and played some beautiful guitar too. Thank you Ariel – we owe you one buddy!
