Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!
I love this podcast! It has shown me some great new techniques.
THis is great 4 guitar geeks!!!
This is a wonderful podcast to master the pedal board! THIS HAS EVERYTHING!
RS
I've tried submitting a negative review a couple times, for some reason it has never posted, hopefully this time. I've been trying to find good gear/tone podcasts and this has almost nothing of the sort. All about shred... how about some pedal demos etc... Instead of horrible over the phone interviews (yeah great sound quality to demo their tone!)
