Dan undertakes an epic board build from scratch for our good friend Jack
Welcome to the show! There are times in life when you just need to start from scratch. This is one such time for our good friend Jack Griffiths, who has recently quit the day job - you may know him from Peach Guitars - to go all-in as a professional musician.
Jack approached Dan for a TBB - Total Board Build - to give him everything he might need in terms of compression, gain stages, modulation, delay and reverb… into either regular guitar amps or direct to DAW/desk. It’s a big job, but somebody’s gotta do it!
Sit back, grab a beverage of your choosing and enjoy watching Jack’s dream board come into being.
Enjoy the episode!

Range of Jacks's sonic vocabulary is astonishing. It always amazed me listening to his Peach Guitars vids just how many melodies/licks/riffs he's got at his disposal. Apart from the musical talent he's also very well-spoken guy with a sense of humor. Watching your video just confirmed all my previous views about this guy. I wish him all the best and hope he gets a lot more recognition.

It's so great to see people get the most out of their gear with a setup like this! Getting a G3 with GigRig power and being able to build myself a "proper" board has been the most fun I've ever had on my gear journey. The best thing about it isn't even the tones or the routing capabilities, but the immediacy and inspiration to just play guitar more.

What a board, huge effort by Dan. And Jack’s playing is always an absolute joy to listen to. I was about to get anxious in anticipation of the ‘a few weeks later’ section, thinking I’d have to wait a few months for that episode… and there it was, included here!! Totally epic episode guys. That Lion looks to be quite an amazing ampless solution too.

@VaiRoth 7 ай бұрын

Everything sounded epic, the playing as always with Jack, is another level of musicality and enthusiasm. As with every single KZfaq video and indeed any recording, only the folks in the presence of the amps get to experience the live amp sensation, the UAFX Lion sounded every bit as good as the amps given I'm only hearing the recorded result, what a golden age we inhabit! Its so cool that we still have real amps and TPS are championing that, a world with only amps, or modelers would not be as magical as it is, heres to both.

I absolutely LOVE these build videos! Thanks for this! Jack is such a great player and seems like a sweetheart of a guy. I remember when I got my Schmidt Array SA550XDM and G3 (if not one of the first batch shipped, an early second batch) and all TheGigRig power and Evidence SIS cabling (as well as the MIDI and TRS), it took me about 5 days with everything laid out on my work bench before I was done... and that was with everything very planned out. It's true... these boards do take a while to sus out. And of course, there have been many changes and substitutions since then. It's a great experience doing your own pro board and a big education. I've waited decades for such a board and there's no way I would have been able to even start something like this were it not for everything I've learned from Dan, Mick, and the amazing support staff at TheGigRig.

I love his playing so much. He's so elegant, so tasteful and he never plays the same. I miss him so much at the Peach Guitars channel to learn licks and lines. And one of the things i love the most is that "he's playing a song" or playing parts, when demoing sounds and keeps the time all the time. What a phenomenal board. - Great work, Dan!! So nice to see an analog+multifx+modeller on TPS just for the everyday users like me. That kind of hybrid board is what i think a lot of people uses nowadays. Also, this has been the year of TPS Suhr players! Pete Thorn, Shawn Tubbs, Andy Wood, and now Jack! That thinline with thornbuckers is beautiful and Jack is an killer player!!

I love the whole thought process was front to back and that we were able to see it come together. TPS is a great show and this episode has someone as capable as Jack whom can explain what he is looking with TPS there to guide him on how to get there. The takeaway is we get to learn how to apply Jack’s thought process, specifically why he chose what he did.

Jack's a real rarity. It's brutally apparent that he has wildly differing musical tastes to me, but he's that good that I always love hearing him play. It's never about all the chops (despite the fact that he so obviously has ALL of the chops), and he could make anything sound great. Such a natural. I think I've wanted every guitar he's ever demoed, despite 99% of it being in his hands :D
