On the show today we have boutique guitar amp maker, Jesse Hoff. He is the man behind the very popular and sought after Lazy J guitar amps.
His amps have been used by guitarist such as Joe Bonamassa, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and has won awards such as Guitar Amp of the Year over £1000 by Guitar Magazine, twice.
It’s a killer amp and if you get a chance to try one I can highly recommend that you take the opportunity.
It was great spending time with Jesse and really geek out about guitar amps and understanding more about the electronic side of it.
So if you are into guitar amps, electronics, speakers, pedals and all that, I’m sure you will love this interview.
In this interview, we spoke about:
• How Jesse started Lazy J
• The benefit of booster pedals and how they work in conjunction with the preamp
• Different types of transformers and how they can affect the sound
• The relationship between resistors, capacitors and tubes
• Why you might want to use FX-loops
• The effect speakers and capacitors have on the sound of your amp
• If “recapping” an amp actually make a difference • The typical signal flow of a guitar amp
• The up-and-coming Lazy J tequila and guitar pedals
• Why you have to pay more attention to what you hear rather than read
• The effect warmed-up tubes have on your amp
