BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by our guest from across the pond,  Josh Wood, who is an absolute guitar monster and good friend, and our  favourite man from Man, Matt Quine. We get to know Josh and take a tour  through some stories from his guitar journey and discuss some of the  questionable gear decisions of the past. We also look to the future in  our modern guitar special where we discuss the new AZ range from Ibanez  and briefly talk about other modern brands and our view on the future of  guitar.  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 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. Remember: if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably  is.  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 Facebook.com/budgetpedalchap Instagram.com/budgetpedalchap Ollie Facebook.com/OllieMilesMusic Matt Facebook.com/SwitchIOM Paul Dontpanic.com Dontpanic.co.uk Facebook.com/dontpanicblackpool Instagram.com/showmaster87 Chris Facebook.com/demolabstudio Moog Facebook.com/Rapscallionmusic Andrew ‘The Guitar Geek’ Ferris https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5i6aBbINMIEkYW3b6olHg Instagram.com/theguitargeekyt

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by the man, the legend, one of the  most frequent contributors: Mr Matt Quine. We discuss this week’s events  including a little chat about the tremolo we all love to hate (when you  are restringing at least), the bigsby along with a long rambling about  our experience of amplifiers through the ages and what we have finally  settled on now, as well as some top picks at a couple of price ranges.  We also talk about the snow!!! Snow is magical and doesn’t come around  too often, so please excuse our detours to mention it. Thanks once again  for your listenership, you make this all possible.  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 

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by the man-titan Matt Quine who  began the podcast freshly off a 24-hour live stream moderation. We  discuss the quality of beginner instruments and range available from  around 10-15 years ago versus what is available today. We regale tales  of our first guitars and the quality standards the shift in quality  standards that we have perceived over the years. We also answer a  question from our good friend Ollie Miles about beginner bass guitars  for tracking bass tracks, which isn’t usually in our remit, but we can  spread the love to the 4 strings every now and then. The episode is a  little shorter than usual due to it being a very last-minute recording,  the episode originally prepared for this week was lost due to a  technology problem and will be rerecorded and coming to you another  week. Thanks once again to Matt for being a huge help and jumping in not  only last minute, but also after a marathon 24-hour live stream  support. I urge you to go and donate (the links are detailed in the cast  by Matt around 5 minutes in).  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
