  • 3 tickets to tone town, baby!

    After 200 episodes I’m still amazed these dudes are giving away this hard earned knowledge for free. It’s rare to find an expert nerd that can also be articulate and teach complicated subjects in an easy-to-digest format. But there are 3 such nerds in one place! Thank you, Chairmen.

  • Love and appreciate this show!

    I’ve been listening for a while now and have found some great insight for improving my tone, streamlining my rig, and having gear that serves my music and not the other way around.

    Brian, Grant, and Mason are a wealth of knowledge in the community, but also very approachable. I’m a member of the FB group as well and have received lots of free help and advice specially from Mason. Thanks for all the help and here’s to 200 episodes!
