BCB 119 - Wilson Canalog Delay Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

Just Shawn and Chris today. We had every intention of talking music but got sidetracked and spend the first half of the show talking about seafood and 'tinned fish'. Later we talk some Serge as Shawn spent the past week at NYU making Serge dub and getting the most out of two (!) Wilson Analog Delays. JOIN THE PATREON patreon.com/basecampbeta
