With a lot of humour and some stellar guests, Al & Kasper tackle the topics in the unending quest to be six string gurus.

    #117 Strange Nomads with Templo Devices

    This week the boys are visited form their old pal Scott Strange from Templo Devices. Scott makes a little of everything from effects pedals to guitars but what he’s really building his temple on is solutions. He’s building a premiere battery powered professional level amplifier that can runs for hours upon hours, as well as power your pedalboard. Add to that his clever Splyce pedal which is a mixer/boost/solution device and you’ve got a unique approach to an often tired guitar products market, plus he’s a funny as heck dude! Enjoy! https://instagram.com/templodevices?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.templodevices.com/
