Switchers to switch switchers, which switch pedal boards. Pretty sure just having one of his cables is gonna be a major score.

🙏🏾 It was an honor and a pleasure to hang out with the PG fam and do this Rig Rundown - big thanks to John, Perry, and Chris. Really stoked about the giveaway as well - good luck everybody!

Nobody does a rig run down like John Bohlinger and RJ Ronquillo's demos are always interesting. He did a great job here of sampling the gear without falling into the ego trap of making a performance out of every opportunity. 👍

Oh man, my brother had that exact Gillian Kruger amp - back in the 80's. I never see those anymore. If I remember correct - that thing could peel the paint off the walls. My God, that thing was so heavy and dense sounding. It was so freaking loud. He was a big Iron Maiden fan.

Great Rundown and seemingly a real sweetheart of a guy. Believe it or not, I gigged for a couple years in the 80’s with a GK ML 250 through a Marshall 4/12 Slanted Cab. It sounded huge, wish I’d never offed it!🙁

I played through that Gk250ml with a Marshall 2x12 bottom from 90 to 93, it was the bomb dizzle. Surprising how much output it had, it filled out the bottom well. The tuned Marshall helped fatten and warm it up so it sounded almost like a mesa boogie…it was easy to toss into the backseat and move without breaking your back hah. I rememberr seeing Alex Lifeson using one as an onstage monitor in a Rush video ~ I forget which song. Great post - enjoyed listening to you both.
