Reviews
- Practical amp repair advice from the trenches. And fun too!
I’ve been listening to this from the start. After years of sketchy advice from questionable books and the internet, it’s great to hear practical advice from someone who knows what they’re talking about and isn’t recommending questionable “upgrades.” Plus I enjoy hearing the side stories about life, food, goats and typewriters. Makes me feel like my side interests aren’t so eccentric. It takes a guy like Jason to get Skip to open up, and it’s great to witness. Keep fighting the good fight.
