SO STOKED we got to hang out with Balthazar who took us to Tone School on all things Balthazar Amps.

We also touched on: French rock, Harmonic Percolators, Systek, Catalinbread, Phonocut and the art of vinyl cutting, getting medium pissed, Kurt Cobain’s amps, Chicago Bears cookbooks, and Dos Santos.

Then Balthazar really helps us understand amplifier design, spending a decade working with the Smashing Pumpkins, Selmer history, variacs, and playing in Hum and Menthol.

Pleeeeeeease stick around until the end for one of the funniest stories ever told on the pod about Matt Talbot, Earth Analog, and a serpent.
