This episode: Trevor, Juan, and Jake get to know Nick Sadler, guitarist from the band Daughters. Be sure to check out their brand new album, "You Wont Get What You Want", via Ipecac Records. Available now.

Nick represents a side of guitar culture that Guitarcaster has never really explored before; those that are disciples of song structure and timbre rather than the gear that makes those noises. In addition, Nick divulges everything he is allowed to involving what it's like on tour, other projects such as Way Out and Mythless, as well as insights into recording the past couple albums. The boys surprise Nick with a couple of games, some with more success than others, all of which are a blast to play along with at home.

Guitarcaster Smoke Break brought to you by Daughters and is titled "Long Road, No Turns"

Show notes

Trevor tasks Juan, Cool Josh, and Jake to bring in some of their favorite pieces of gear. Notable mentions include Juan's heavily modified pedals, Trevor's SL-20 Slicer, Jake breaks down his pedalboard for gigging, and Cool Josh brought his slide instead of the super famous guitar he owns.

This episode announces, "Bon Voyage!" to Cool Josh. He is headed to Vermont to study bread baking. After that he plans on heading to Ireland to work at The Happy Pear. In addition, Juan surprises Jake with a pedal version of one of his amps, Juan and Josh wonder where Becca has been from Tonereport, Trevor wonders if the phase pedals from Australia swirl the opposite direction as those made in America, and Jake shows off some really interesting octave pedal tricks.

Be sure to have Juan modify a boring old pedal of yours collecting dust in the closet or just have him build you something from scratch by getting ahold of him at juanM@steamboatampworks.com or his Instagram @PedalsByJuan.

Show notes

This episode marks a new giveaway

Send a screen shot of your Apple Podcasts review to Guitarcasterpodcast@gmail.com to win a Juan Magana modded CE-1 style preamp.

Juan fixed two different BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedals in the same week and asked Trevor to bring up his for a shoot out this episode. Upon further review, each one was different: Guitarcaster shoots out an original versus two differently modded units done by Analogman.
Of course, Juan and Trevor speculate, pontificate, and educate upon seemingly every known fact about the Boss CE-1 featuring multiple sound clips.
