That Pedal Show | 5 years ago
Greg Koch visits That Pedal Show with the Koch Marshall Trio band for jams and banter. We also demo his signature Reverend Gristlemaster guitar, The Greg Koch amp and of course the Gristle King pedal. Get ready for a ride of truly savage tomfoolery!
Life too short for long YouTube videos? See the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ timings below.
Ah, Greg Koch. Gregory Kochery. The Gristlemeister, Sasquatch of six-string savagery. Do you dig it? Well we dig it to epic new levels in this video as our old chum finally descends on That Pedal Show to split our sides with tales of wanton guitar heroism… and a lot of hard work and idiotic compulsion for this thing we loosely call ‘music’.
Greg tells us all about his beginnings as a pro musician, before we get into the nittiest-gritty on his signature Reverend guitar, Koch amp and Gristle King pedal.
And just when you thought it couldn’t scale any more magnificent heights, we are thrilled to welcome Koch Marshall Trio: Toby Lee Marshall on organ, and Gary Koehler on drums for renditions of tracks The Tulsa Tussle, Unrepentant and Sweet Tea. Even Dan and I get in on the action for some jams. More saggage than savage, but hey…
Do we dig it?
Dig it!
