3. Eddie Garcia: Greasy Guitar

This is my board, from Denver, Colorado. You know it’s been a great gig when your pedals are soaked in beer and surrounded by broken glass. Greasy old blues!My pedals include: an EarthQuaker Hummingbird tremolo, EarthQuaker Dispatch Master delay/reverb, Keeley Compressor, EarthQuaker Acapulco Gold overdrive, and an Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah.

It’s that time of year, when Premier Guitar readers wow us with the intricate details of their pedalboards. A few highlights for 2019 include a surf board station, a bright board with LED lighting, a Nashville guitarist who gigs on Lower Broadway, and a pedal setup with no frills … and literally no board at all. (All this player needs is beer and broken glass.) As an added bonus, a pro pedal builder shares his demo board and tells us why and how he started building pedals from scratch.
