Welcome Fret Talkers and this week we have a lovely chat live, well live then but not now obviously, to the wonderful Lee Pedabadadoo about some guitary things. We pontificate largely about the weeks events and largely shoot the breeze, but we do actually do some news this week. I know crazy as it may seem, we actually get onto the news. You will, of course, have to listen to find out. Thanks to a...

Welcome listeners and this week we are joined by the one and only, Mr Matt Quine! What a leegend eh? We talk about how we are coping with the lovkdown and the various stuff we have bought because of it. Namely, Matt getting his hands on the pre-production Chevtone Messiah and once he told me that you can get the Knopfler Brothers in Arms tone from it, I had to go finding it after the show finished...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by a full house of hosts including Matt Quine, Lee Pedabadoo and Will ‘with the hair’ Powell. We chat about some of the things we have been up to this week, which I’ll be honest, it has been a while and I forgot about it. We talk about some news for the first time in about a month, which includes the newest offering from Strymon, The new PedalPatch Input Butler (not the o...

Welcome podcast listeners and today Mr Budget Chap is joined by none other than our Man from Man, Mr Matt Quine. We socially distance ourselves from any kind of new news-like stuff and instead veer into a whole host of general guitar chatter as is the "business as usual" approach we have been taking during this entire lock-down period. We take some time to answer a listener question which was sent...

Welcome x3 Fret Talkers and this week we are joined by the effervescent Mr Matt Quine for a week of weekliness, which as you can probably tell, there isn't a great deal of news. Instead, we talk about some of the pitfalls of doing some good old DIY pedals, the newest purchases, red light fever and we sneak in a cushty little music quiz for you too. If you like what you hear, do a share of the cast...

Welcome and we are joined by very special guest this week Mr John Tron Davidson from the Heavy Repping blog/youtube channel/the plectroverse.

We discuss some of the greatest makers in Heavy Repping opinion and even get into some of the scienc...

this week we have a special addition to the usual podcast release with an interview and chat with Ilja with Game Changer, who are the company that bought you the crazy piano sustain pedal that works on any instrument with a jack input, the drive pedal with lightning in the middle of it, the analogue synth that has motors to create the sound and the light powered spring reverb pedal. These guys tak...

Welcome, welcome, welcome listeners and this week we have not only our resident Mr Matt Quine, but also a very special guest that gets mention quite a lot on the cast due to him a) being a close personal friend and a reason for my guitar collection being so large and b) one of our special patronisers, Mr Adam Yeomans of Chevtone FX. We have a chat about being old and grumpy sods and how it might f...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by a full house of hosts including Matt Quine, Lee Pedabadoo and Will ‘with the hair’ Powell.

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers! This week we continue with our isolation-busting banter, which is filled with the massive tangents you've come to expect and love from us at the Fret Talk Podcast. We also, to our surprise, manage to unearth some guitar news and have a little bit of a T-type special as well. We are hoping these casts are helping you get through the oddness that is the curren...

We discuss the beginnings of the Zander brand and through some of the details that make them really stand out from the crowd. We talk about some of the musical influences that...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by the one and only Mr Matt Quine for a spot of personal therapy after the absolute storm of a week we have all had to endure. Setting aside global events for a moment, we entirely base this podcast around stuff that would make us chuckle, so expect odd-ball segments, fun and games, and just general off-topic discussion. Thank you to each and every one of you fo...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Lee Pedabadoo and Will Powell to discuss The Guitar Show Birmingham, YAMM 2020.

Welcome listeners and this BudgetPedalChap is joined by the amazing and wonderful Matt Quine for a journey of guitar exploration.

As always, Matt and myself go off on some extra...

Welcome, welcome, welcome podcast listeners and this week BudgetPedalChap is hanging with the one and only Mr Matt Quite for some weekly shenanigans! We tackle some listener questions this week as the news is pretty light and, quite frankly, we didn't want to do the research. We talk about low output bridge pickups, the 70s phenomenon of backmasking and some many more. It is always a great hang an...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Mr Lee Pedabadadoo for some guitar chat this week. We talk about strings, for quite a long time. We get the whole team involved getting you live viewers involved too. Who knew, something we all use would be a thing we all had an opinion on? Lee tells us all about the little live stream he did with some rather nice flamps he is currently in receipt of, it was a bit of a...

This week Mr BPC is joined by none other than Mr Matt Quine. Both of our poor asses were ill this week and the amount of times I had to edit out coughs was immense, if I left any in, do excuse them. We focused so much on how Gibson were making leaps forward in their line up with the Epipohne line, that we completely ignored the other big company and what they have done over this NAMM period, so we...

This week, Budget Pedal Chap is joined by the live crew of Will "A Rocket Complex" Powell and Lee Pedabadadoo for a week of NAMMly news.
