These guys take innovation seriously and you can learn all about the line up of pedals from the man himself, as we...

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 a...

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fret Talkers! This week we continue with our isolation-busting banter, which is filled with the massive tangents you've come to expect and love from us at the Fret Talk Podcast.

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by the one and only Mr Matt Quine for a spot of personal therapy after the absolute storm of a week we have all had to endure. Setting aside global events for a moment, we entirely base this podcast around stuff that would make us chuckle, so expect odd-ball segments, fun and games, and just general off-topic discussion. Thank you to each and every one of you for joining us on this journey, especially during times like this. We appreciate the time that each an...

Welcome listeners and this BudgetPedalChap is joined by the amazing and wonderful Matt Quine for a journey of guitar exploration. We talk about not the Birmingham guitar show as that is on yesterdays live cast/next weeks episode so we tackle some questions and mop up some of the newsiest news around, including some rather region specific Fender news.

Welcome, welcome, welcome podcast listeners and this week BudgetPedalChap is hanging with the one and only Mr Matt Quite for some weekly shenanigans! We tackle some listener questions this week as the news is pretty light and, quite frankly, we didn't want to do the research. We talk about low output bridge pickups, the 70s phenomenon of backmasking and some many more. It is always a great hang and we are glad you chose to come along for the ride too. If you feel generous and want to throw us so...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Mr Lee Pedabadadoo for some guitar chat this week. We talk about strings, for quite a long time. We get the whole team involved getting you live viewers involved too.

Lee tells us all about the little live stream he did with some rather nice flamps he is currently in receipt of, it was a bit of a victory for him…. Get it? Wink, wink. We talk about a rather tasty thing from the Harley Benton lin...

This week Mr BPC is joined by none other than Mr Matt Quine. Both of our poor asses were ill this week and the amount of times I had to edit out coughs was immense, if I left any in, do excuse them. We focused so much on how Gibson were making leaps forward in their line up with the Epipohne line, that we completely ignored the other big company and what they have done over this NAMM period, so we crack open the Squier paranormal line up and touch upon the hotly anticipated sequel in the paralle...

Lee had a massively productive week and got to try out the newest offering from Victory amps as well as the Sandblasted PRS SEs and the new Fender Ultra series. Lucky gent, I know! We talk about some of the releas...

BudgetPedalChap is joined by Mr Lee Padabadadoo and Will Rocket-Complex for another live show turned podcast.

We talk about recent offerings from Chase Bliss and Crazy tube Circuits, as well as try our very own impressions round with the synth sounds on the new budget-friendly Mooer ...

BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by a quadrilateral of quarsome… I’m sure there is a 4 based pun here somewhere, but that sure aint it. Matt, Lee and Will join us for a live shebang where we pontificate on some listener questions, talk some news and get involved with the live chat like a boss.
