Choosing Gear for Gigs on the Go
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2026 9:23 am
Hey everyone, I'm gearing up for a short tour next month and I'm struggling with what to take along. I normally rely on a pretty extensive setup at home – multiple guitars, pedals, and my trusty amp – but lugging all that around just isn't practical. I want to find a balance between sound quality and convenience.
Has anyone found a good way to narrow down their essentials? Do you stick to just one guitar, or do you take a backup? And what about pedals – do you go for just a couple or try to fit in everything you think you’ll need? I’d appreciate any tips or strategies you’ve used to make packing for travel easier. Cheers!
