Video Description
Plan your Pedalboard with Pedaltrain! - https://elkqr.link/pedalboardplanner Wow, what a year it’s been for guitar gear! In this video, I’m diving into the absolute best gear releases of 2024. From hyped-up pedals like the Behringer Center Overdrive and Fender’s Hello Kitty Fuzz (yes, really!) to mind-blowing guitars like the Gibson Kirk Hammett Greeny Les Paul and Spira’s S400 MGR, there’s something for everyone. Plus, I’ve crowned my “Golden Geek” winner – a piece of gear so good it redefined my playing experience this year. Get some gear from Sweetwater - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PykkJY Get some gear from Thomann - https://thomann.de?offid=1&affid=288 Get some gear from Andertons - https://elkqr.link/andertons But it’s not just about the winners! I’ll also cover a few releases that made me scratch my head and think, “Did we really need this?” (Looking at you, Gibson Les Paul Studio 2024.) Whether you’re into pedals, amps, or guitars, this video has it all – and I’ve got the opinions to back it up. Stick around to the end where I reveal my pick for Gear of the Year and hand out the Golden Geek Award.
