Hello dear listener,


This week I'm joined by both Matt Knight and JD Short, and we're chatting all about our favourite things at this year's Brighton Guitar Show!

Hello dear listener,


This week, Matt and I are counting down the 8 new wonderful BOSS stompbox plugins now available through the Roland Cloud. They've gone for a rather retro range of 1 series pedals from 1977 and a bit after. We'll be going through each stompbox and building a track using the bulk of the collection!
