  • Great interviews, loving it!

    Just started with the Solodallas podcast. Liked it a lot. Now onto the Lollar one and I’ll no doubt find another interesting one. More interested in the interviews with companies that have items on my pedal board, but I don’t have any Lollars (yet) so that was a discovery! Great content guys. One suggestion: listening in the car at relatively high volume and not all voices are levelled. Some are very loud, others less audible.

  • 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!!

472-Interview With Cosmodio Instruments V2
Q: What was the last moment that triggered a new idea or direction for you?
He describes a recent spark involving toy-era chips and a quest to pull sounds from them, which could lead to a potential new product if developed further, though timelines are uncertain.
472-Interview With Cosmodio Instruments V2
Q: What was the driving force behind starting Cosmodio, and do you feel you've met it?
The driving force was a longing to work with effects, inspired by early boutique builders; Barton explains that it began as a labor of love and has evolved into a meaningful, though still small, company with ongoing aspirations.
472-Interview With Cosmodio Instruments V2
Q: Where would you like to start, Barton?
I walked through the journey from Pet Yeti to Gravity Well and beyond, outlining how each pedal expanded Cosmodio's identity and how the company grew a small team around ambitious designs.
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.
