This week we discuss the latest pedals, guitars and guitar news!Strymon released a blacked out version of the Cloudburst, Native Audio announced a looper that has already sold out of the first several pre-order batches, and Source Audio is coming for the Strymon Flint with Pathways, a super versatile reverb and tremolo. KMA Machines announced a feature-packed headphone amp, and Gibson continues to sell $20K custom shop signature guitars. This week's topics include our recent trip to a local music shop and comparing good vs. bad experiences in big box vs. mom and pop shops. We also discuss trying to keep up and stay relevant as a small YouTube channel when the algorithm only rewards larger, well-known creators.
