Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and we are joined with Lee and Will once again for another live show. This week we talk about a certain Earth-shifting release from the complete BOSSes of the budget amp world as well as some updates on some rather iconic pedals too. We pontificate a whole bunch about where the heckers Lee has been and talk about all of the amazing things that he got to try out and all of the awesome people that he got to talk to at the Guitar Summit in Germany. If you were...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and this we are back to business with Mr Matt Quine. It has seemed like such a long time since we have managed to cast together, we spend a whole bunch of the time on this cast just catching up. We talk about where you might start as a beginner coming to pedals as Matt helps sort his singer out with a board, we talk about possibly the most fun you can have for under thirty quid (pedal wise, ahem) and we chat about the PRS Sandblasted SE range also. Throw us...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers and this week BudgetPedalChap is joined by Lee and Will of PBOD for our fresh off the press LGS post show review. We got to see some amazing things and some of the stuff we talk about are interspersed with some interviews taken live at the show. We also did half of the cast directly after the show for some fresh off the press opinions of what we got to see. This cast was great fun to do and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording and doing it. Throw...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Lee as we vault the gates of guitar news and frolic in the garden of spanky new stuff. We talk about a rather tidy little unit by Supro as well as a reimagining of a classic TC rack unit in a handy new floor-based unit. We crack open some game changing news about the marmitey headstock of Epiphone as well as some rather interesting similarities that have been unearthed in one of the most prolific relicing shops, which has raised some moral isses. What a wonderful epi...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Mr Matt Quine and bloody Lee Doomly Doomington! Yes, you hear right, even though it isn’t a live cast, we have dusted off our Lee and put him on one of these non-live casts. We talk about the correct way to pronounce piezo, yes, it definitely isn’t the way Lee says it. We swing back to our song a month challenge, which we may have had summer off for and we chat about the benefits of the HSE rangemaster. We revisit a rather special segment, which long term l...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by Lee of Doom to bring you some of the weeks most exciting news stories in the world of guitar. We talk about our exciting new BOSS inspired videos on the PBOD YouTube channel and discuss whether the super overdrive is more super than the overdrive, go and check it out now, it’s a great video by the way. We get in depth about the new 66 range from JHS and talk about some alternatives for those who don’t want to reach that deeply into their pockets. We also to...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt ‘the Mattman’ Quine hit the guitar news hard, and by that, I mean, of course, swerve it like a fluffy kitten in the road. We shoot the shit and catch up in what was some uncharacteristic heat. We talk about some of the new releases from TC also, but mainly the procrastination and jokes about inappropriate things. Throw us a 5-star review on Itunes to help us soar up the ranks and sharing the cast helps us immensely also. Don't forget to have your online on the Fret Talk ...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by none other than Mr Matt Quine! Welcome Back to the live casts our Matthew, we have missed you like a kid missed cake.

We chat this week’s guitar news, shoot the shizznit and just generally have a great time. If you haven’t already, share this episode with a friend because more audie...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt Quine get all guitar-newsy this week and report on some of the hottest guitar topics around. By that, I mean SNAMM has come and gone and the news is extremely dry, but we get handed lemons by the guitar press and start doing tequila shots instead of making lemonade. We have a little speculative news about the PRS Silver Sky, the most marmite guitar of recent years, and we talk about the new offering of EHX too. The podcast does a live stream in the PBOD group every other...

BudgetPedalChap, Uli Von Doom and Eric the Pedal Board Jedi are joined by some adorable little padwans this week for another exciting and informative episode of the Fret Talk Live Podcast. This is the podcast that almost didn’t happen with some emergencies happening and general scheduling nightmare, so we appreciate the fact that you are tuning in this week. If it is your first podcast, I would urge you to go check out one of the previous weeks for a slightly more organised one. That being said,...

BudgetPedalChap and Mr Matt Quine run head-first into the news this week, nowhere near as quickly or with as much ferocity as last week’s live episode, but that is to be expected. We get to grips with some of the SNAMM late comers and some news that didn’t make the first cut, but don’t be fooled into thinking that they are lesser products because we have some absolute stonkers coming up. Get some audio joy into your ears and let us know what you think of this week’s episode. We release this podc...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt just have the most fun ever. There is a podcast, we talk about stuff, most of which is at very least semi-guitar related, but the general vibe is me and Matt just hanging out, which is em effing awesome. We talk about the spectacle of rock legends KISS, have a little analytic inspired British/American-off, which brings us to the realisation that our respective countries are really good at certain things. Back in the 90s where there was a thing with secret tracks on album...

BudgetPedalChap is joined once again by the main man from man, Mr Matt Quine. I would to say that we approach the week by professionally journalising the crap out of some guitar news, but any veteran listeners will know that it simply isn’t the case. We chat guitar stuff about our week’s events, we throw another couple of things into room 101 and might sneak in a tiny little touch of news at the end, but mostly me and my good friend shooting the proverbial shit: the way things should be. Throw u...

BudgetPedalChap and Matt are joined by our very special guest and long time Fret Talk host, Mr Ayrton Tracey to tackle the weeks guitar news head on…and of course by that I mean procrastinate for most of an hour about what we have been up to and then cram some news in last minute. I mean, come on, give us a break, we haven’t had Ayrton on in a while so of course we are going to catch up with our main man. We discuss some of his most recent gigging exploits and varying degrees of success with thi...

We are opening the podcast with an apology this week as the audio quality of my microphone seems to dip about half way through. It is still rather listenable and a lot of the talking is done by Matt so he once again saves the day. Sorry guys and gals, I am working on this issue and I’ma get all ass-kicky with a certain company for their stuff letting me down. BudgetPedalChap and Matt completely swerve any guitar news this week as our Matt has been on a tonal discovery. We discuss some of the mos...

BudgetPedalChap and Lee go it alone this week with the absence of Mr Quine, who decided to go for a right old jolly! We don’t blame him as he is one of the hardest working men in showbusiness, so he deserves a good week off! We chat about all manner of guitary nonsense this week, including an inuendo named blend unit, the most expensive single pickup signature guitar I think that has ever been created and a transparent fuzz circuit! Oh also, you may want to pay extra close attention because deta...

BudgetPedalChap, Matt and Ayrton jump headlong into a steaming vat of guitar news for this weeks Fret Talk Podcast.
