Fret Talk

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by a quadrilateral of quarsome… I’m sure there is a 4 based pun here somewhere, but that sure aint it. Matt, Lee and Will join us for a live shebang where we pontificate on some listener questions, talk some news and get involved with the live chat like a boss. Thanks to all those who joined in on the chat, and if you didn’t make sure you get in on the PBOD grou...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Matt once again for a rundown of the week’s events in the guitar world… and of course I mean by that, we talk about what we have done for far too long and hardly get around to any news, but you knew that already. We have a blast chatting away and if you stick around to the end this week, there may or may not be some extra additional bonus stuff… I didn’t tell...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and we are joined with Lee and Will once again for another live show. This week we talk about a certain Earth-shifting release from the complete BOSSes of the budget amp world as well as some updates on some rather iconic pedals too. We pontificate a whole bunch about where the heckers Lee has been and talk about all of the amazing things that he got to try o...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and this we are back to business with Mr Matt Quine. It has seemed like such a long time since we have managed to cast together, we spend a whole bunch of the time on this cast just catching up. We talk about where you might start as a beginner coming to pedals as Matt helps sort his singer out with a board, we talk about possibly the most fun you can have fo...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and this week BudgetPedalChap is joined by Lee and Will of PBOD for our fresh off the press LGS post show review. We got to see some amazing things and some of the stuff we talk about are interspersed with some interviews taken live at the show. We also did half of the cast directly after the show for some fresh off the press opinions of what we got to see. T...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Lee as we vault the gates of guitar news and frolic in the garden of spanky new stuff. We talk about a rather tidy little unit by Supro as well as a reimagining of a classic TC rack unit in a handy new floor-based unit. We crack open some game changing news about the marmitey headstock of Epiphone as well as some rather interesting similarities that have been unearthed...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Mr Matt Quine and bloody Lee Doomly Doomington! Yes, you hear right, even though it isn’t a live cast, we have dusted off our Lee and put him on one of these non-live casts. We talk about the correct way to pronounce piezo, yes, it definitely isn’t the way Lee says it. We swing back to our song a month challenge, which we may have had summer off for and we ch...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Lee of Doom to bring you some of the weeks most exciting news stories in the world of guitar. We talk about our exciting new BOSS inspired videos on the PBOD YouTube channel and discuss whether the super overdrive is more super than the overdrive, go and check it out now, it’s a great video by the way. We get in depth about the new 66 range from JHS and talk...

BudgetPedalChap is joined for this very special episode by some of the big contributors to the guitar cartel Instagram page, which is a collective of some of the finest instaguitar content available. We have a lovely bit of banter with our chaps from Underfluked, Maybury Guitars and Everything Joeseph as well as a return visit from one of our favourite interviews JSA Effects. We get in depth about...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt ‘the Mattman’ Quine hit the guitar news hard, and by that, I mean, of course, swerve it like a fluffy kitten in the road. We shoot the shit and catch up in what was some uncharacteristic heat. We talk about some of the new releases from TC also, but mainly the procrastination and jokes about inappropriate things. Throw us a 5-star review on Itunes to help us soar up the ra...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by none other than Mr Matt Quine! Welcome Back to the live casts our Matthew, we have missed you like a kid missed cake. We are also joined by Lee, the doomiest pedalboard guy you did ever see… well, I say that, he is the head honcho of Pedalboards Of Doom, he doesn’t really do doomy guitar stuff. We chat this week’s guitar news, shoot the shizznit and just gene...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt Quine get all guitar-newsy this week and report on some of the hottest guitar topics around. By that, I mean SNAMM has come and gone and the news is extremely dry, but we get handed lemons by the guitar press and start doing tequila shots instead of making lemonade. We have a little speculative news about the PRS Silver Sky, the most marmite guitar of recent years, and we...

BudgetPedalChap, Uli Von Doom and Eric the Pedal Board Jedi are joined by some adorable little padwans this week for another exciting and informative episode of the Fret Talk Live Podcast. This is the podcast that almost didn’t happen with some emergencies happening and general scheduling nightmare, so we appreciate the fact that you are tuning in this week. If it is your first podcast, I would ur...

 BudgetPedalChap and Mr Matt Quine run head-first into the news this week, nowhere near as quickly or with as much ferocity as last week’s live episode, but that is to be expected. We get to grips with some of the SNAMM late comers and some news that didn’t make the first cut, but don’t be fooled into thinking that they are lesser products because we have some absolute stonkers coming up. Get...

BudgetPedalChap, Lee and Eric blaze headlong down the massive highway of guitar news this week as we hit all of the biggest SNAMM newsly things. We talk about... actually, I’m not going to give it away so you’re just going to have to clip on your seatbelt and hang on tight as we do the fastest, most newsiest episode of Fret Talk/PBOD you have ever heard. If you enjoyed this week, feel free to let...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt just have the most fun ever. There is a podcast, we talk about stuff, most of which is at very least semi-guitar related, but the general vibe is me and Matt just hanging out, which is em effing awesome. We talk about the spectacle of rock legends KISS, have a little analytic inspired British/American-off, which brings us to the realisation that our respective countries ar...

Disclaimer - The audio on this episode may be a tad patchy, there were a number of issues with recording and we have worked tirelessly to clean them up, but it isn't our usual quality, so apologies. BudgetPedalChap is joined live with Mr Lee PBOD himself as well as a very special guest and fellow PBOD contributor, Eric Tomerlin. We get to know some more about Eric and his early experiences with gu...

 BudgetPedalChap is joined once again by the main man from man, Mr Matt Quine. I would to say that we approach the week by professionally journalising the crap out of some guitar news, but any veteran listeners will know that it simply isn’t the case. We chat guitar stuff about our week’s events, we throw another couple of things into room 101 and might sneak in a tiny little touch of news at...

 BudgetPedalChap and Uli Pedabadadoo are joined by our very special guest and returning co-host, Mr Sean Pierce Johnson!!! We surf the waves of guitar news this week, mentioning our collectively busy schedules which include a butt-load of upcoming pedal reviews and a review of a guitar that may or may not contain a bottle opener, which is a bloody fantastic feature if you ask me. We get an in...

 BudgetPedalChap and Matt are joined by our very special guest and long time Fret Talk host, Mr Ayrton Tracey to tackle the weeks guitar news head on…and of course by that I mean procrastinate for most of an hour about what we have been up to and then cram some news in last minute. I mean, come on, give us a break, we haven’t had Ayrton on in a while so of course we are going to catch up with...

BudgetPedalChap, Lee and Matt get all reminiscency up in this hizzay for the 100th episode special. Be prepared for some of the awesome old segments you know and love, and have probably forgotten about, coming up atcha to make a nostalgic reappearance. We delicately tickle the weeks news towards the end also, but don’t let that put you off. We get all gushy about the 100 episodes thus far and gene...

We are opening the podcast with an apology this week as the audio quality of my microphone seems to dip about half way through. It is still rather listenable and a lot of the talking is done by Matt so he once again saves the day. Sorry guys and gals, I am working on this issue and I’ma get all ass-kicky with a certain company for their stuff letting me down. BudgetPedalChap and Matt completely sw...

BudgetPedalChap and Lee go it alone this week with the absence of Mr Quine, who decided to go for a right old jolly! We don’t blame him as he is one of the hardest working men in showbusiness, so he deserves a good week off! We chat about all manner of guitary nonsense this week, including an inuendo named blend unit, the most expensive single pickup signature guitar I think that has ever been cre...

BudgetPedalChap and the incredible Mr Matt Quine shoot the guitar breeze this week with a bunch of guitariness. We discuss some of the week’s spiciest YouTube guitar videos, including a video response to DaveRage’s blues lesson, why RHCP were out of tune and discuss the On The Bench - Les Paul series from the Guitar Geek, featuring our very own Matt’s lovely Gibson Les Paul guitar. Thanks once aga...

 BudgetPedalChap, Matt and Lee join forces once more to bring you the latest in guitar news. We get down and dirty with the new Gibson line up, which happens to have made some rather interesting changes, but of course, you’ll have to listen for the details. We talk about some tasty little picks in the PRS line up too, from more budget friendly models, to some American made offerings. We also...
