Shawn Tubbs Visits TPS [Awesome Pedalboard, Session Playing Insight & More!]

One of our favourite guitarists drops in for spectacular tones and life-affirming guitar chat

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome Nashville-based guitarist Shawn Tubbs to the show! Shawn was in the UK with Revv Amplification in September 2022 so we jumped at the opportunity of a visit.
In this video Shawn explains the basics of his tone and shares some insight into his unique style. It’s also early days for Shawn’s new pedalboard so naturally, we take a good look at that too!

Please check out Shawn’s channel on the ‘toob!    / shawntubbs  

Enjoy the show!
