Delay Pedal Shootout! Which One Rules Them All?

This week on Gear & Beer, Derek & Sam dig into some of the most inspiring delay pedals on the market — the Walrus ARP-87, the Keeley Halo Dual Echo, and a slew of others!

We cover everything from:
🎸 Building a compact pedalboard and why top-mount jacks can be a lifesaver
🎸 Comparing tuners — Walrus Canvas, Polytune, Peterson, and the legendary Boss TU
🎸 Tap tempo vs. manual dialing — which actually works better in a live set?
