On what some might consider to be just an extension of the Delay episode, Alan & Paul continue to wax poetic about the joy of end of chain: Reverb. In this episode you’ll find out which reverb pedals and reverb types they enjoy, and what the purpose of this effect holds for the way they play. You’ll also get a sense of some of the various types of reverb to be in the hunt for as we all go on this journey together!

We finally made it everyone! Alan and Paul's favorite effect: delay! We'll talk about what the effect is as well as how reverb is just delay when you really think about. On this episode we'll continue exploring the signal chains and talk about our favorite delays, artists who inspire us using the effect, and a whole lot more. We also got so excited that Paul forgot what Alan asked him and started talking about all the pedals he's played in the delay space.

Alan and Paul begin their signal chain series by discussing compressors. This episode kicks off an introductory series that will explore the components of a pedalboard.

A compressor is an effect that evens out the volume of your guitar playing by reducing the level of loud sounds and boosting quieter ones. This can add sustain to notes and create a more consistent overall sound.

Our hosts will talk about their experience with compressors, how they fit into their sound, and how they use them.

This episode lays the foundation for upcoming discussions on other pedal types, helping listeners understand how to build and optimize their signal chain. Whether you're new to effects or looking to refine your tone, we hope this series will provide valuable insights into crafting your ideal guitar sound.
