"THE" John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments joins us again to discuss the upcoming release of his new pedal. John is well known in the guitar gear industry for his high bar of excellence and imagination, but his generosity in helping other builders of all levels achieve their technical goals just may start to overshadow that. Oh yeah, and he is an actual quantum physicist, so he has that going for him.
Max Lord of Reflective Digital joins us to discuss his upcoming guitar pedal release of Chambers C2. Max shared the prototype, which he calls a 'Portable Resonant Environment,' with us, and we couldn't stop playing it.
