  • 75% Rambling, 25% on Topic

    The podcasts were decent but far too much off-topic rambling on this. I listened to hear an interview about specific pedal brands, and this 1.5 hour show could have easily been 20 minutes long.

  • Great show!

    Love the banter. The dude who doesn’t want to listen to strangers talking is missing the point of podcasts. Lots of interesting things are revealed in the unscripted conversations. Rock’n’roll, keep chatting.

  • Mostly Great!

    The best is when Jared, Tony and Todd are on together, with Rob Chaffe also great. One of the most enjoyable guitar related podcasts anywhere. Todd gets cringeworthy when inexplicably shaming his good natured co-hosts or blowing smoke up guests skirts. He too can sometimes run episodes as if they were infomercials instead of keeping it real. But even with those annoyances I rarely miss an episode. More Jared!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

467-Interview with Sketchy Sounds V2
Q: What digital-recording techniques do you use to demo pedals effectively?
I rely on DI capture and reamping using pedals like the Walrus canvas DI to create authentic test signals, then reinsert them through the effect chain to show how the pedal behaves in real playing scenarios.
467-Interview with Sketchy Sounds V2
Q: Brandon, what is your Four on the Floor concept about?
Four at the Floor is a program for our top patrons to select four pedals from our library to be tested on the show and then shipped back and forth with us, connecting listeners to the gear in a very tangible way.
465-10th Anniversary Interview With Dr. No
Q: What inspired the Kukulkan concept and its three-gain-stage design?
Dr. No traces the idea to Maya-era symbolism and his interest in creating a three-stage preamp that could be engaged in different combinations, which also reflected a storytelling approach rather than a simple stompbox function.
457-Interview With R2R Electric V3
Q: What recommendations do you have for someone looking to buy your pedals?
If you have a small broken-up amp, my pedals sound great with those, especially treble boosters.
457-Interview With R2R Electric V3
Q: What is your biggest project right now?
I'm always on the hunt for something new and I still want to do a Selmer Buzz Tone.
