    Ep. 204 - Gearbuds Bingo

    Happy Monday friends - it’s been a week! Hank went down to KC and ate alll the BBQ he could find, so we decided to slather on some sauce for a spicy ‘sode. The Gearbuds tackle a few questions: what would happen if Dave was named CEO of Fender? And is AI going to start showing up in every piece of gear in 2023? Also discussed: Kirk Hammett’s black 59, overpriced Digitech, guitar tone YouTube, Black Sabbath ballet, Rare Feet, Walter Becker’s Gibson GA79RVT, Jet Harris from The Shadows, Mattoverse Electronics Solar Sound, Seymour Duncan Hyperswitch, Positive Grid Spark Go, new Headrush flagship, and new Fender Michael Landau signatures. Gettin’ balled up.

    Ep. 203 - Looking through the Scope

    Hey Daylight Savings Time, you’re the worst and never come back. In this light and airy meringue-like episode your buds talk through a new Hankquisition, the Korg Nu-Tekt NTS-2 Oscilloscope and multi-tool bundled with the Bjooks Patch & Tweak Korg hardcover. As if that isn’t tasty enough, the fellas also get into Dave’s recent trip to NYC and Rivington Guitars. Also discussed: cleaning house, SVTs & JC120s, card chords, Metallica pressing rekkids, Rare Feet, even more JHS trolling, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, the Chase Bliss Mood MKII, and the Epiphone Chris Stapleton Frontier signature acoustic. That made my bones hurt.

This episode your buds pack in a ton of content; Hank attended the Chicago Vintage Guitar Expo (and beefed up the DODfather Collection) which begs the question - are guitar shows the last bastion of gear deals? The Buds also close out the episode through a discussion of signature bass amps pursuing to the release of the new Fender ACB50 Adam Clayton amp. Also discussed: Gibson v Dean lawsuit, Gary Rossington, Cooper Timecube, Way Huge Doubleland Special, Sweetwater Rig Builders, Mesa Mark VII, Gretsch Rally II, Walrus Audio Fable, Bergantino bass amp in a box, GFI System Douphony, Solar Chug, and Smart Studios.
