EFFECTS AND LOOPING WORKSHOP
Come to this 2 week pedals intro course that will introduce:
- pedal practicalities types
- pedal order and building effects
- looping
- troubleshooting
- creative sound
Do you know your Phaser from your Flanger?
Our first skills development workshops are now available to book! Taking place over 2 weeks, 2 experienced local musicians will be covering all things pedal related.
With introductions to pedal types, set-ups, looping and experimenting with creative sound, you will get the chance to learn about using pedals to enhance your music. The sessions are focused on guitars, but can be applicable to bass, vocals and other instruments. You are encouraged to bring your instrument and any pedals you own, but there will be equipment available to use on the day.
The two 3-hour sessions are £50 inclusive of both weeks and include tuition, rooms and provided equipment. There are also some discounted sessions available for those on a low income. Session 2 builds upon session 1, but please get in touch if you can only attend one of them. Both sessions will include both looping and creative sound.
Learn in a supportive environment with other emerging musicians – beginners welcome!
Bring any pedals you have, try pedals and different equipment in the workshop, and take part in our open bring/try/swap/buy session at the end of the course.
These sessions are aimed at women, trans and non-binary people who are generally under-represented in bands.
