Gosh Amplification founder Josh Jordan joins us to talk about his guitar amp line. After years of development with a special focus on the power sections, his hand-wired designs are built to be expressive, responding to the player’s touch and creating a closer connection between guitarist and amp.

Tallon Electric's co-founders Sean Mackowski and Luke Shomo join us in The Guitar Knobs studio for this episode. They brought two of their latest pedals for us to dive into: The Champ octave overdrive and The Banshee octave fuzz. We love a good twist on an effect and these come well equipped to make some serious noise.

Tone Ranger Guitars' Jeff Leavitt drops in again with his pal Ben of Resto-Wraps to discuss a special creation they've been working on. We didn't know we needed a matched guitar & amp set from Tone Ranger, but it turns out we ALL do!  These are rare builds and will go fast, but we have the full story on them.

He also digs into the follow-up LVL boost pedal and how versatile it is across a wide range of guitar rig setups.

All Them Witches guitarist Ben McLeod joins us as he gears up for their 2026 tour. Ben conjures atmospheric, almost meditative riffs one moment and unleashes soaring leads the next. His tone shifts constantly within a single song, from delicate and spacious to heavy and searing, but what really sets him apart is his timing and balance with the drums and bass.

Guitar builder Lazer Tyree joins us from Kobe, Japan, to share his story. We had lots of double-takes on this one because Lazer's California-based guitar journey is pretty remarkable, especially because of some truly top-shelf mentors. He is in Japan now, following his own path and putting his knowledge to work, and trying to learn the language ;-)
