Hello dear listener,


Welcome to another episode of Guitar Nerds!


This week, Matt and I are discussing the brand new BOSS XS series of pitch shifting pedals! It might seem like they're a little late to the game to make a Whammy, but it's loaded with the usual ludicrously comprehensive level of customisation-ability!

Hello dear listener,


Welcome back to another episode of Guitar Nerds. This week we've got a new guest host in the form of Matt Parker. Matt is a session bassist who specialises in Bass VI.
