This has been a long time coming! I'm so stoked to get my dude Awol (Aaron) on the show. This was a great chat about how he got started in music, his experience building pedals, Nashville food, and of course we top the whole thing off with a criticism of…

STOKED! Lucero is one of my favorite bands of all time, so it was an honor to sit down with Brian Venable. We get a behind the scenes look at the origins of the band, his take on guitar playing, gear, and life in general. We also talk about sneaking…
Hey there! I made a song! I hope you like it. It’s pretty mellow, and laid back. I think the vibes are good. Which is always what we need, right? Because this is a gear related channel....... I used my Mule Resonator guitar plugged into a Bowman Audio Endeavors Klone,…
Danny Black is a guitarist, tone nerd, and a real cool dude. He plays in a band called Good Old War, and has a string of excellent solo records. The most recent of which is called Black Ryno and it is out wherever you get your music. Check it out…
Limited run guitar pedals. Like everything these days, they’ve become controversial. So what is the deal? Are limited run pedals cool, lame, just fine, or pure evil? Well, I give you my take on it for whatever that is worth. TEXT ME at (503) 751-8577 Check out the podcast at…
Hello! Welcome to a bonus episode of the show!!! Today is a little different than normal. This is a discussion around working as an independent artist in this weird digital age we are in. De'Von and I are going to be embarking on a journey together to push his musical…
It is time for an update! I know a lot of folks have been wondering what is happening with The Pedal Movie, and the dudes thought it would be a good idea to come back on for an update. They fill in some gaps, tell some tales, and give a…
Today we are exploring the Digitech/DOD Grunge Distortion Pedal when used with a baritone guitar! Lets see what this weird, dirt box can do! The Grunge Pedal was originally released under the DOD brand and received a few different aesthetic treatments over the years, but it always remained its dirty…
This was a very fun and very on topic episode for a change! James has been in the band Against Me! for a long time, and recently started Bowman Audio Endeavors. He is a great dude, and this was a really fun chat. It turns out...... we both have an…
Nick and met in a Fred Meyer parking lot on a weird day in Portland, OR. We had a good chat about pedals and whatnot before we parted ways. A month or so later we recorded this podcast and we got into some interesting territory! Enjoy the chat! Check out…
Sometimes late at night I plug in and just see where the sounds take me. But I believe this is the first time that I properly recorded the guitar and gave it any kind of a mix. I used the Adventure Audio Demogorgon set as shown, and ran into my…
Today I’m running through the 8 main modes that are inside the Big Ear Pedals Albie!! Albie is an “Ambient Modulator” with simple, easy to use controls and an epic sound. Big Ear Pedals are manufactured in one of my favorite places, Nashville TN by a small team that is…
This was an awesome conversation! Rob is the man behind Chapman Guitars, an extremely popular YouTube channel, Snake Oil Pedals, and a whole bunch of music! This was a really, really fun episode and a long time coming! Enjoy this one folks. This was a blast! Check out Rob's YouTube…
I’ve heard about this “trick” for years. Boiling your gross old guitar strings to clean them off, improve the sound and save some dough. I’ve never tried it before, so I thought I’d take you all along for the ride. What do you think? Does this old Telecaster sound better?…
Alex has returned! He came on the podcast way back in 2016, which is like, an entire lifetime ago! Coppersound Pedals had the opportunity to develope a pedal with none other than Jack White himself. (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Third Man Records..... Yeah, that Jack White.) So we go over what…
Such a fun episode!! Aisha and I really hit it off. A lot of nerdery about gear, music and a whole bunch of other nonsense. I really enjoyed this chat and I am betting that you will too.

This one was so much fun! A while back, I was in Nashville, TN, and Grant & Karen from Big Ear Pedals organized a small get together for us to record a podcast. On this one I'm chatting up a storm with Jesse from Rude Tech, Awol from Awol Pedals,…
Sean Pierce Johnson is a dude who I've been meaning to have on the show for a very long time. Some things just happen for a reason it seems, and now is the perfect time! Sean is a content creator, musician, and great dude. He also has been closely following…
I tried to make 30 videos in 30 days and I didn’t even come close. Like barely over 50%. That’s what I call an F. A big ole FAIL in my book. But I didn’t come out empty handed. I learned some stuff, felt some stuff and it helped plot…
I had an epic chat with Aisha from Loe Sounds a few weeks back (stay tuned for that episode wherever you listen to podcasts!) This little box of wonder showed up here today, and I decidedly cut a short video for it. A simple, one knob fuzz loaded with texture.…
We've got a hot one for you! Dan is the DSP dude over at Old Blood (amongst other things). He is a really good due, and he has an interesting story to tell. And this time I pulled off a successful interview with a member of the Old Blood crew…
I took a poll on Instagram and the people wanted to hear this pedal! The Peavey Dual Clock Stereo Chorus, isn’t the rarest of birds, but it’s isn’t the most common either. This pedal can usually be picked up fairly reasonably. It’s a pretty fun little unit. I highly suggest…
Yeah I said it. This is their crown jewel. Their Mona Lisa. This is it. It’s the cat’s pajamas. It is my favorite pedal that Strymon makes. The Deco is a Doubletracker. It brings that classic studio effect to your pedalboard and it does it in a really cool way.…
