Love it

I like a lot of guitar and music podcasts and this one is different from the others. It has all of the things I like about most podcasts with news and reviews and stuff but there is a lot more interesting and funny stuff in the banter.

Mattxyzed ,

Excellent podcast but not true bypass.

If, like me , you love the Guitar Nerds or 60 Cycle hum, you may find this podcast jarring because the hosts appear to actually have some professional level knowledge of how effects work, and what recording music is like. However, don’t let that turn you off because if you slog through all the useful information, you will eventually get to the butt related jokes and other nonsense, and everything will be all right.

briangowerhc ,

Great back & forth with the hosts

You can genuinely hear that they're two buds who like to chop it up about guitar gear. I dig their honest take on gear news and product reviews. Check it out
