UAFX amps 2024: The peak of digital guitar gear evolution (Knuckles & Ruby demos & live board setup)

This video is all about why I think that UAFX pedalboards are the peak of digital guitar gear evolution. Not only will I walk you through the insane tech that powers these amps, but I'll demonstrate original Mesa/Boogie sample sounds on the Knuckles and discuss how I use the Knuckles and the Ruby for live playing and how I set up sounds.
