In this duo cast, GH talks: NAMMin all over Anaheim, intentional vaguery, a free gift from Access Analog, getting upset over the lawsuit-era price bubble, bolt-on Les Pauls, RIP Ginger Baker, the Metallica S&M2 premier, the Empty Bottle, Easy Demon at Virgin Hotel, and maybe but not really renaming the podcast

Then: Hank’s new/old Rane mixer from NPR studios, Behringer cloning headphones, TechZone Audio Products cloning Neumann, Townsend Labs Sphere L22 cloning all the mics, famous guy eBay buys, visiting the Lakland factory, and Hank’s custom Fender Villager body build
