Dan DeMay is a builder in the Pacific Northwest that is building fun pedals that he would want to play and put on his pedalboard. He's working to build community around his pedals in the music scene in Bellingham, WA and I was thrilled to get him on the podcast and talk about how he got started, what his goals are, and what his creative process for pedals looks like! I hope you enjoy!

Charles Henry knows audio. He's got magic ears (this podcaster's opinion anyway) and we talk about how he went from hi-fi audio to the guitar amp and pedal building world and is making some of the coolest and more unique guitar gear available today. I think you're going to love this episode as much as I did.

Corey Congilio is an incredible guitarist, songwriter, educator, and has some of the best hair game in the guitar world! I finally got to meet him in person at the 2024 NAMM show and he's as kind and genuine a dude as you're going to meet in the guitar space. We sat down and had a chat about how he came to the guitar, how he got his first gigs, and just generally about his approach to guitar and life. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

In this episode we talk about David's journey into the lunacy of starting a pedal company after years of writing about guitar gear.

Nully (Steve Nall) is the director of manufacturing for Collings Guitars but is so much more than just that - he's a guitar builder, player, former paratrooper, and an all around great hang.
