Ep. 130 - Shocking

Don’t act so surprised; we tend to do things a bit on the nose. This week we’re leaning into spooky season and talking about some morbid shiz - musicians being killed by their gear. With Keith Relf from the Yardbirds as perhaps the most famous example, we delve into some shocking territory while providing tips for staying safe when poking around. That said, sometimes you should probably just leave it to the pros. Also discussed: Google’s new built-in tuner and song finding feature, new flagship loopers from Boss, digging deep into going direct and the all-in-one guitar amp and monitor from Amonito, Blackstar’s new tube-based pedals, native advertising on Reverb, eBay updates, Tony Iommi fossils, Randy Bachman’s Gretsch, Rick James’ wild life story, a Lego Fender Princeton Reverb, and sick kitties. Volts jolts, mills kills.
