BudgetPedalChap is joined by Matt Quine and Ayrton Tracey as we hurtle  head-first into a steaming vat of Christmassiness! We take you through a  tour of the year in the Fret Talk podcast and look back fondly on some  of the amazing releases this year. We talk about the journey that  certain companies have taken through this year *ahem, Gibson* and talk  about the winners, losers and stuff we expect more from in the new year.  This is an extra-mega-super-long edition of the podcast and, of course,  being Christmas and all, we thought we would spoil you with the return  of the segments ‘you’s views’ and ‘pedal, weed, minds-eye’ and much  more. It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid… unless you are  scared of podcasts over the two hour mark, then you should probably be a  bit afraid.   This is the last episode of Fret Talk for 2018, we will be returning  early 2019 with new episodes, fret not! (We just will have a bit of a  break for the holidays too, we are probably going to be too hungover to  talk, let alone podcast)  The podcast this week and for the month of December will be sponsored by  Tate FX, an independent pedal manufacturer from the UK. I urge you to  go check out the podcast interview with him on released earlier in the  year and even urgier you check out his pedals at www.tatefx.co.uk. If  you would like to win one of his flagship BMB overdrive pedals also, you  need to head on into our podcast facebook group (link below) and join  there, as well as finding Tate FX on Facebook and liking and following  that also. So get liking and good luck!  Throw us a 5-star review on Itunes to help us soar up the ranks and  sharing the cast helps us immensely also.  Don't forget to have your online on the Fret Talk Podcast group on  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/690366661155328/?ref=bookmarkssay  Find your host at: BudgetPedalChap www.Facebook.com/budgetpedalchap www.Instagram.com/budgetpedalchap https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRgWgj6py1MhgMq4Htw2sQA or search ‘budget pedal chap’ on YouTube Ollie www.Facebook.com/OllieMilesMusic Matt www.Facebook.com/SwitchIOM Paul M www.Dontpanic.com www.Dontpanic.co.uk www.Facebook.com/dontpanicblackpool www.Instagram.com/showmaster87  Paul F www.Twitter.com/VitaminnP Chris www.Facebook.com/demolabstudio Moog www.Facebook.com/Rapscallionmusic Andrew ‘The Guitar Geek’ Ferris https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5i6aBbINMIEkYW3b6olHg www.Instagram.com/theguitargeekyt Ayrton https://www.facebook.com/TheSinCircus/ 

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Matt Quine as we speed hastily in the  muscle car made of guitar news to the horizon of factually inaccuracy.  This week we tackle the new Fender American Performer series, where it  sounds like we actually may have done some research. We talk about an  interesting release from pedaltrain. We also have the return of a  surprise guest on today’s cast who has been on a rather shocking  journey. Hope you enjoy the episode this week and don’t forget to  subscribe and share if you like what you hear.  The podcast this week and for the month of December will be sponsored by  Tate FX, an independent pedal manufacturer from the UK.

BudgetPedalChap is joined by an extravagant troop of awesome cohosts  that includes, Mr Matt ‘the man from Man’ Quine, Ayrton ‘Green fingers’  Tracey and Ollie ‘the bike horn’ Miles. We tackle some of the weeks most  pressing news, well not all of it because we ignore the large series of  guitars released by Fender, but we have to have something for next week  eh? We talk about the new Hendrix strat, yup, another one. We also get  in-depth about the new efforts from EHX, yup, another one and end up  with a discussion about a PRS so vile, that they couldn’t even be  bothered to finish the back of the body. Ollie sometimes sounds a bit  like a bike horn this week, which is a bit odd, but hey, I’m not here to  judge.  The podcast this week and for the month of December will be sponsored by  Tate FX, an independent pedal manufacturer from the UK. I urge you to  go check out the podcast interview with him on released earlier in the  year and even urgier you check out his pedals at www.tatefx.co.uk.

BudgetPedalChap and Matt gently marinade this week’s podcast in the  sauce of guitar news. We pontificate for a luxurious amount of time  about our own guitar journeys this week, that happens to include some  telecaster chat, the TateFX BMB and Matt’s Beatles awakening. We discuss  a question about som small amps to gig with, including some solid state  and valve choices. We sink our teeth into the news about a particular  surf green tweed pedal, the next thing in solid state amplification  (unless it isn’t, which we suspect) and many more things that I can’t  remember now and really won’t be getting up to find the notes for the  show to find out. The competition running until December is now over, to  check out if you are the winner of some awesome prizes, you’ll need to  check out the follow up interview with Mr DaveRage himself and keep  checking back because there is some more exciting stuff to happen during  the month of December.

BudgetPedalChap , Matt and Ayrton battle through an army of guitar news  and valiantly bring you the latest. This week we talk about some tasty  drops from Friedman amps in the form of a new pedal and an update on one  of their best-sellers too. We chat about a new departure from the usual  by Chase Bliss, which had a little controversy on running up to the  release. We also get super-high-brow when talking about the new  game-changing release by BOSS in the form of a reactive load, IR,  Reamper, USB interface and more. I am somewhat convinced that it might  also fill in your tax returns and most likely has a mode that will make  you fresh coffee in the morning too. We also answer some questions about  your dream headliners for a festival and what your ideal dual pedal  would be. Remember, the competition is stull on so hop over to the  DaveRage Instagram or BudgetPedalChap channel to find out all of the  awesome details and some updates on the prizes too.

 BudgetPedalChap and Matt ‘the man from Man’ Quine pull out their  machetes and chop down the brush whilst bravely traversing the jungles  of guitar news. We discuss a huge bunch of guitary stuff we have played  this week and there is some immense news regarding the telecaster that  almost wasn’t. We use a listener question as a great excuse to do some  research into the often overlooked univibe and rotary sim pedal market,  with some surprising results (and it may also have given me some gas far  a decent univibe). We also smash through some pretty fantastic news  from Bogner, Reverend and Mooer.  Remember, the competition is stull on  so hop over to the DaveRage Instagram or BudgetPedalChap channel to find  out all of the awesome details and some updates on the prizes too.

BudgetPedalChap and Matt hop into the space craft of news and explore  the vast expanses of guitar space. We talk about a new effort by the  good people at Mad Professor pedals, who may or may not be the same as  T-Rex pedals, or I may just be getting things mixed up. Gibson also drop  some pretty sharp news about a bit of a throwback, which may or may not  have been intended for last week, but hey ho. The other big guitar  company released two biggies this week and you will have to just listen  if you want to hear what we think of the ugly-ass monstrosi…ah, gave the  game away there didn’t I?

BudgetPedalChap  and Matt hang 10 on the waves of guitar news this week. Mr BPC gets  self-indulgent with all of the stuff that he has done this week, which  includes playing a bunch of guitars that are bloody expensive. If you  are curious about some actual playing experience of the PRS Silver Sky  rather than just wild speculation (as we tend to do ourselves quite a  lot tbf). Mr BPC also got his hands on a Line 6 HX FX and the results  may shock you somewhat, they did for me! We talk about some of the  really cool stuff that Matt has theoretically got through the post this  week and one of which is something a bit special. There is also some TC  electronic news and something Fender are doing finally, seriously, why  has it taken them this long to sort this one out?! Oh, yeah, there is  also a competition going down. The rules are outlined on the podcast,  but are elaborated on in the most recent interview and is being  plastered over the BPC Instagram and DaveRage channel to, so check it  out if you’d like to get your hands on some free stuff!  If you’ve  enjoyed the cast today, share it with your friends and get onto iTunes  give us a sub and drop us a 5-star rating too!  Throw us a 5-star review on Itunes to help us soar up the ranks and  sharing the cast helps us immensely also.  Don't forget to have your online on the Fret Talk Podcast group on  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/690366661155328/?ref=bookmarkssay  Find your host at: BudgetPedalChap www.Facebook.com/budgetpedalchap www.Instagram.com/budgetpedalchap https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRgWgj6py1MhgMq4Htw2sQA or search ‘budget pedal chap’ on YouTube Ollie www.Facebook.com/OllieMilesMusic Matt www.Facebook.com/SwitchIOM Paul M www.Dontpanic.com www.Dontpanic.co.uk www.Facebook.com/dontpanicblackpool www.Instagram.com/showmaster87  Paul F www.Twitter.com/VitaminnP Chris www.Facebook.com/demolabstudio Moog www.Facebook.com/Rapscallionmusic Andrew ‘The Guitar Geek’ Ferris https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5i6aBbINMIEkYW3b6olHg www.Instagram.com/theguitargeekyt Ayrton https://www.facebook.com/TheSinCircus/ BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by good friends and frequent  contributors Matt Quine and Andrew 'The Guitar Geek' Ferris. We discuss  this rather slow weeks events in the world of guitar, which includes  efforts from Epiphone and TC Electronic. BudgetPedalChap also gets ranty  over some irksome terminology in the guitar community and we have some  general spirited guitar banter.  The team also unearth a scam warning about epiphonebuy.com, which I  believe since the episode has been recorded, has been taken down. Be  vigilant of scammers online, as just because the site is down, it won't  go away.
