Sonic Artifacts

 It's not everyday someone invents something totally new.  We sit down with Andy Alt, founder of A Little Thunder Pickups and talk about his designs, the patent process and the nitty gritty of his invention.  Based in LA, A Little Thunder offers a very unique line of pickups that add bass signal to your low strings while preserving all 6 organic guitar strings.  This unprecedented design has caught the attention of Billy Gibbons among others.

Based out of Brooklyn, NYC Redeemer Electric Labs are turning vintage radios into guitar amps. Founder and musician, Nadeem Salaam, has been around electronics his whole life and tells us how it all got started.  We talk old New York City, we talk about the right to repair movement and of course gear.  Redeemer also offers luthier and repair services, along with some very unique microphones – remember supplies are always limited!

We sit down with Lee Downer, musician and sales rep at Guitar Center’s vintage room on Sunset Blvd here in Hollywood, CA to discuss the acquisitions, rising prices and how the market has changed through the pandemic.  Not to mention tales from the floor of Guitar Centers flagship store and the public bankruptcy.  Lee has a wealth of knowledge, experience and tells it like it is.

It was truly a treat to sit down with mastering engineer and editor Rhonda Schoen of New York City’s Sterling Sound.  Working at Sterling from the mid-Seventies till the late 1990's, Rhonda was at the forefront of post-production.  Her clientele included legends like Mick Jagger, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton to name a few.  Beginning her career in fully analogue studios and ending with a transition to digital technology we hear some great stories and of course gear talk!
