Fret Talk Episode 179 - "World Cup Fever!"

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Lee Pedabadadoo for an amazing new series we are going to extend over the next couple of months, which is the Pedal World Cup 2021. This episode we get votes on group A and group E of the group stages of the Pedal World Cup. If you want to take part, tune into the livecasts over the next couple of weeks to get your say on which of your favourite pedals go through. Your votes matter and the winners were only swayed by 1 vote each way! We also talk about the purchase of Mesa Boogie and what that might spell for the brand, as well as a bit of the backlash from the community. We also discuss an unusual new signature Gibson that was released recently. Thanks to all that tuned in live, thanks for all you who are downloading and listening too.
