Andy Wood At TPS [Playing Insights, Pedalboard Run-Through, Suhr Signature Guitar & Much More!]

The woodshedder extraordinaire wows us with playing, tone and insight! Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome our dear chum Andy Wood to Schwangri-La. Andy is a Tennessee-based artist and session/tour guitarist/mandolin player who, in addition to his own solo career, has played with Locash, Scott Stapp and Rascal Flatts among others. He also has a Suhr signature model guitar and a couple of pedals to boot. His mesmerising playing style is a constantly shifting amalgam of traditional Americana, country and full-bore technique rock: it’s quite the experience as we can attest! We chat about all kinds of topics today - tone, technique, influences and all the good stuff you’d expect from an extended TPS show. Please subscribe on YouTube - it’s free and it helps us. And of course… Please enjoy the show! Andy’s website: https://www.andywoodmusic.com/ Andy on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/andywoodmusic Andy’s amp setup today… Andy runs a stereo rig from his pedals and the G3 switcher. All the pedals go into the front of amps, no effects loops. Today, one side is a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature into a Mesa 212 cab with EVM12L speakers (bottom/closed speaker only). The other side is a Two-Rock TS-1 combo with a TR1265B speaker. We set the amps up to sound as similar as possible with plenty of headroom for all of Andy’s pedals to go straight into the front end.
