Fret Talk Episode 142 - "Chevtone and other stories"

Welcome, welcome, welcome listeners and this week we have not only our resident Mr Matt Quine, but also a very special guest that gets mention quite a lot on the cast due to him a) being a close personal friend and a reason for my guitar collection being so large and b) one of our special patronisers, Mr Adam Yeomans of Chevtone FX. We have a chat about being old and grumpy sods and how it might fall in our favour after this global "Backstreet Boys Reunion" blows over, seriously, no rubbing up against people! We also discuss some of the finer points of the Variax and how Matt has got on with the software side of things (spoilers: not good). We also dive into Yeomans' newest endeavour with Chevtone FX and how he plans to bring some boutique, vintage inspired guitar pedals to the modern market as well as discussing the two pedals that kick it all off. This is a blooming good episode if I do say so myself and I had an absolute blast making it, as did Matt and Adam. We hope you enjoy it even just half as much as we do, thanks for sticking with us.
