Today on the Rig Doctor, we meet up with Theo Katzman to build his first pro-pedalboard! With his new record released, Theo needs to recreate the album’s tones in a live context. The rig is straight forward: no switcher, no FX loop usage— just a smattering of great pedals (including the Ultraphonix HRM and the Boost!).
