Pretty exciting stuff already happening in the guitar pedal world! Keeley Electronics and F5 Metalworks have teamed up and are getting some SERIOUS new equipment up and running. Soon, Keeley will be able to produce custom enclosures for their pedals which will allow even greater design freedoms and unique possibilities.…

A while back there was some strange activity associated with Harmon's (the owner of DigiTech) website. I made a YouTube Short covering what was publicly available knowledge at the the time, and it became one of the most watched videos on this channel. Fortunately there has been some updates on…

On this very special video episode of the podcast I invited my friend Dewey Halpaus of The Peer Pleasure Podcast to the Shred Shed for a TWO HOUR conversation of epic proportions. We intended on this being a recap of our podcast lives in 2022, and we definitely got into…

Once upon a time I was a fledgling guitar nerd who didn't know the difference between a bass, a ukulele, an acoustic, or an electric. I certainly had no idea how to choose between an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. And unfortunately, I didn't have the resources of the…

This episode is absolutely insane! Big KO and I sit down with the guitar legend Eddie Martinez for one of the most epic chats in the history of this show. Whether you know it or not, you have almost certainly heard Eddies guitar playing. The tracks are too numerous to…

Last week I subjected a Behringer Super Fuzz Guitar Pedal to some brutality that it would likely never see in real life. I dropped this cheap fuzz pedal off of my roof, I lit it on fire, I hit it with a hammer... Heck, I even threw this affordable effects…

I got a random box in the mail from @stewmac and I have literally no idea what is in the box. If it is a glitter bomb, I'm going to be quite upset. I don't think it is though... Only one way to find out!

Earlier this year, Victory Amps and ThorpyFX joined forces to bring out the V1 series of dirt pedals. They are all based on the sounds found in the non-stompbox version of Victory’s incredible amplifier lineup. Today I’m plugging my 8 string ESP into the Kraken, going into a clean amplifier…

Mo Tedder is a songwriter from Nashville, TN who has an extremely interesting story! I met her on one of my plane rides back home from Nashville, and we talked for basically the entire flight. Once she told me about her work with Healing Heartstrings, I knew I had to…

Up until recently, I did not own any Behringer branded gear. Which seems kind of crazy given how much musical equipment they make. When @jhspedals published a video stating that the Behringer SF300 was the best selling guitar pedal ever sold by @sweetwater , I had just had to see…

Chris Gill has worked in the music industry in many different capacities over the years, but is most well known for his long tenures at Guitar Player & Guitar World Magazines. He has interviewed the most famous guitarists on the planet hundreds of times, (Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Billy…

I was feeling experimental yesterday. In anticipation of an upcoming longer form video, I decided to run all three of my SF300 fuzz pedals in a row to see what that sounded like! I’m playing my ESP LTD M-1008 8 string and just bringing the FUZZ. Full disclosure, I love…

Sweetwater was selling these Behringer Super Fuzz pedals for $14 last week. So of course I had to order some to try! I think they are normally just under $30 normally, so it was a blowout! 🤪 I have plans for a much more elaborate video when the weather clears…

Today I am talking to Dan and Krystal from a company called Online Marketing. (No it isn't necessarily THAT kind of online marketing). They hold a rather unique position in the musical instruments market that I do not think most people have considered or are even aware exists. We talk…

Hemorage are a San Francisco based band who have made a name for themselves by performing heavy thrash metal out of their van. They just pull up outside of a venue (oftentimes venues that refused to book them) and rip a fantastic set right in the street. We talk about…

Podcast listener Jason sent me this 90s Ibanez AD99 to try out because he knows I’m an analog delay pedal fiend! I’m not sure why I felt compelled to put out a video of it on bass first. Perhaps because both the pedal and the bass were made in Japan?…

Kurt Cobain’s Boss DS1 just sold at auction for $75,000!!!! What an insane timeline we are living in. Let’s pretend you are Jeff Bezos and money doesn’t matter anymore. Would you buy this? I don’t know if I could mentally process that. Let me know in the comments!

This is definitely one of those "pinch me" moments. Chris Shiflett is not only a member of one of the raddest bands of all time, but he also is the host of a podcast that I love called Walking The Floor which you definitely should be listening to. This was…

Today we are taking a look at the Summer School Electronics Science Fair. It’s a cleverly designed box that stuffs a classic Screamer style circuit and a classic Rodent style distortion into the same guitar pedal. The blend control allows you to mix between the two flavors so you can…
