This week we discuss a ton of new releases. The obvious big ones are the new Fender Vintera III and Epiphone Futura lineups, followed by some great pedal drops including the Summer School Electronics Fuzz 101, Matthews Effects Cartographer MkII, a collaboration Fuzz Wah from Morley and DOD, FruitFX's Space Cube, and Diamond reissuing their long-discontinued phaser! We also discuss the latest Synergy Module based on the JCM 800 and Marshall released, of all things, a Sex Pistols 50th anniversary JCM 800 half stack!This week's topic dives into the announcement from Mythos Pedals to wind down operations to a smaller team and switch from a dealer network to direct sales. This comes at a time where American small businesses and consumers are struggling with the cost of living and a constantly shifting economy. Is this a signal of what we can expect to see from other small and medium sized builders in the Musical Instrument space in the near future?Find us on Instagram and Threads @badguitaristpodcastHelp us get to 1000 channel subscribers so we can give back to our audience and host an awesome giveaway.
