Fret Talk

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 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.

Thank you to each and every one of you fo...

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.
