Welcome to the Rig Doctor




Welcome to the Rig Doctor channel, where I’m giving out remedies to soothe your ailing tone and fix your sick pedalboards.
I’m your host Mason Marangella, aka the Rig Doctor. I’ve been building rigs for over a decade for many of the industry’s top pros, and now I’m telling all my secrets to DIYers, just like you! I’m giving away all the tricks, tips, resources, and easy hacks that I’ve learned over the years, so you can build a pedalboard just like a pro.
