The Guitar Knobs

Rob Chafe our very own Professional guitar amplifier repair master joins us to provide answers to the burning question "Are you powering your amplifier correctly?"  Rob is a stickler regarding correct amplifier use and shares his advice on power conditioners, variacs, etc., and just knowing your way around the business end of an amplifier. As usual, we all learned something new!

The Knobs are joined by return guest and author Chris Gill to discuss "sleeper guitars" — what they are, where to find them, and what to be mindful of before buying. Chris knows his stuff because he has written for the leading guitar magazines and other media for the last 30 years. And with Tony and all his guitar knowledge at the other end of the canoe, we are in good hands for this trip.

The Knobs interview Brian Bicknell, founder of Spruce Effects to catch up on his latest release. We were wowed by the NEW Junior Ranger Series' first upcoming release—the ACADIA. There is some great thinking behind this reimagined line of familiar pedals and a great way to get into the Spruce Effects brand.

The Knobs interview Dave Jordan founder of Non-Human Audio. We had a great time talking with Dave, a very enthusiastic tone-shaper making pedals for the people in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We love Dave's enthusiasm for musical creativity which comes out in spades with his pedal designs. We discuss the Slow Loris dynamic slapback delay and the Unclean cascading distortion two fantastic pedals we had the pleasure of playing. Thanks Dave!
