Hacking Your Pedals Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts talk about their favorite off-label uses for pedals: an Expression Ramper as an expression splitter, a trereo overdrive pedal as a lofi tape machine, a pedal with perfectly spaced knobs as a phone holder, etc. They take calls and some comments from the Discord, all focused around pedal usage that goes beyond the marketing and expectations of the user interface into unexpected sonic corners.

Philippe Herndon and the Art of the Normie Pedal May 29, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts welcome Philippe Herndon of Caroline Guitar Company. He talks about their latest pedal, a self-proclaimed normie pedal called the Aaron Graves Overdrive. We talk about specific design choices, the story of its namesake, and the importance of versatility even in a fairly fundamental pedal. Plus, we get the scoop on why they use pictures instead of labels, and Philippe has a surprise for us in lieu of the traditional object talk. It's basically a two parter, so fire it up and get listening!

Andy Plays the Planetarium May 22, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts welcome themselves! Andy talks about his recent show at a planetarium: the gear involved, the style of preparation, and the experience of performing with previous guest Matt Kidd. Then they take some calls with questions about a variety of things, and their answers range from "we've never heard of it" to "sorry, that was a lot of information and I don't know if I answered your question." It's another hour of unabashed whatever this is!

He also brings with him the Caroline Guitar Company Wave Cannon, a rad distortion pedal that likely set him on the path toward being a go-to collaborator and in-demand brilliant mind of our industry.

Dave Gill and the Boss PS-5 Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts welcome Dave Gill of Baltimore Sonic Research Institute. Dave is a long-time hog, first time guest, and we have a great time getting into a lot of specifics about Boss pedals, particularly the PS-5 Super Shifter. We ponder the historical arc of Boss' popularity, the different considerations looking at a company that size vs a company like Old Blood vs a company like BSRI, and we reiterate that the best thing about this industry is the people. It's a good hang, and you're invited!
