Show notes

This week's episode was sponsored by Barefoot Buttons. They make smashing on your stompboxes easier than every before! Welcome to episode 123. We get straight into the thick of it with a fuzz built into a human skull. Next, we talk about KISS and how...something...they were. I mean, KISS, right? They were a thing for awhile. Lastly, we look at a signature Epiphone with some custom appointments that actually might be cool. Ryan and Steve talk about the Eastwood and Airline instruments they received from Eastwood Guitars. This week's music was sent by Andy Phipps for his band Casa Bonita. This song is called "Peacocking"

Show notes

This episode was sponsored by Greer Amps, who will be releasing their 18th Anniversary Black Fuzz on 5/30/16. This episode was also sponsored by Ian Anderson Guitars. Ian A Guitars builds high quality, vintage styled guitars that are mind-blowingly beautiful. Let's see. I helped Ryan work on his deck today. Now I'm drinking a beer. I'm tired...here's your show notes. This week Ryan talks about his new Subdecay Spring Theory reverb pedal. It's cool I guess. Then we go through some ads. The first one is full on #20sixdean. The second is Godin's take on a classic surf guitar look. Lastly we talk about the Beat Farmers and Country Dick Montana. This week's topic involves Ryan telling Steve that he used to be better at guitar. Well, it's possibly true. Really what we talk about what our early guitarist selves would think about what our older guitarist selves have done with music. This week's music is a selection Ryan made from the Beat Farmers' music collection.

AD-Venture Time #4 - Bunch O Stuff May 26, 2016

Show notes

Sometimes people put more than one item in an ad and you have to figure out exactly what is and isn't a good deal about it. This is sort of one of those times.

Ad-Venture Time! #3 May 19, 2016

Show notes

Ryan and Steve attack another ad from the sticky depths of Craigslist. This week's ad is a mid-90s Stratocaster that is begging to be loved by someone after the obvious abuse taken by its current owner.

120 - Pizza Trade May 16, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 120. If you've been watching our Instagram account, you already know that we got a Chase Bliss Tonal Recall. If you don't...well now you know. We talk about it for a bit. Ryan's been messing around with it a bunch, but I haven't. I will though...oh yes, I will. You ever think about making a crazy trade on Craigslist. Would you ever order a pizza just to make a trade happen? This guy hopes you will. Lastly...ever feel like your kid gets ripped off at Chuck E. Cheese? Just imagine how this dude feels. This week we talk about the importance, or unimportance of public persona and image for gear companies. This topic was suggested to us by Ryan at Fuzzrocious pedals. This week's song was submitted by Paul Pennington for the band The People They Kill Get Up and Kill. This song is called "The Best Thing About NASCAR are the Crashes".

60 Cycle Hum - Vintage Mustang Pickguard May 12, 2016

Show notes

Here's our next ad of the week! We're still looking for a name for this special midweek series. In the meantime, check out what this guy did to these vintage mustang pickguards.

119 - Macaroni Ducks May 09, 2016

Show notes

This episode was brought to you by Sinasoid, a Pro Audio Couture providing high end, custom cables for the discerning musician. In Episode 119 of 60 Cycle Hum we get right to work with an ode to The Offspring, or so we think. Next we talk about a guitar that we probably should hate, but we don't. We found Music Man's inspiration for the St. Vincent signature model before looking at a Harmony with a slight body warp. This week we take potshots at our listeners. Why? Because we're consumers who can't ever be satisfied, lest the market collapse. Seriously, why aren't we ever satisfied? Why are we dissatisfied with products that don't do the things we want even though they aren't designed to do that to begin with? Come on guys... This week's song is "If I Knew a Thing" by Hume, sent in by Michael Lodge.

118 - Between My Body and the Bass May 02, 2016

Show notes

This episode was sponsored by Barefoot Buttons, maker of the Barefoot Button. This pedal gadget makes the classic stomp switches so much easier to stomp. Trust us. You want to check this out. In episode 118 Ryan and Steve gush about the sweet hookup they got with Eastwood guitars. Steve got a great short scale bass and Ryan got an Airline electric guitar. These guitars are a ton of fun. Next we talk about a really crappy guitar. This was followed by a pair of Melody Makers. The first was not so great, but the second one was beautiful. Last we throw out a little PSA from Pittsburgh. Recently someone asked us what we thought was the best was to get started with playing shows. We've had some experience with this so we share some stories and do our best to answer the question. This week's song was sent in my Aaron Abubo and is called "Daybreak".

117 - Bird on my Boner! Apr 25, 2016

Show notes

This episode was sponsored by Killer Otter Electric, maker of the Aerostat, a truly original overdrive design, and the Party Animal, a fuzz that reminds you that, yes, we do have bear. Ryan and Steve sit down at the Salvage Custom Shop 4th year anniversary party to take in the vibe and record a podcast. Ryan talk about his new job as a digital piano filmer and Steve talks about two pedals he just ordered. We transition into talking about a Fender Stratocaster, a refinished Epiphone Thunderbird bass and the latest trend in speaker micing, the Stormtrooper mic stand. This week's topic was sent by Josh Bradt who asked us to talk about the Fender Magnificent Seven and wanted to get our opinions on limited run guitars. We totally answered all his questions...I think. This week's song was "Sea Turtle Migration" by the band Regal Beast. Thanks to David Danielson for sending it in.
