Have you ever thought, “Gee, I really need to ruin my Tele…”? Put an iPad on it! (This will make more sense once you listen to this episode, scout’s honor.)

This week, in our first episode with a live studio audience (sup Cappy), we get into how we listen to and make judgements of gear. Specifically, we talk Josh Homme revealing the tone secrets of crappy amps, and scientists science-ing the hell out of some wood and fungus to make a modern “biotech Stradivarius.”

Also discussed: catching up with old bandmates (hi Mike), a heroic bass player saving lives, Reverb updates, Winter NAMM delays, Dave Mustaine’s butthole, Black MIDI ripping up Sleeping Village, Marshall Amps, Boss’ new IR-200 and SY-200, and Players Grade Vintage.

Drugs are a hell of a drug.
