Adrian Thorpe is a former Major in the British Army and a qualified Ammunition  Technical Officer (ATO) who decided when he left the military that it was time to put his technical training and love of blowing things up to good use - building guitar pedals! While it's not the most direct or common route, Thorpy has translated it into one of the most unique and highest quality pedal brands in the business in ThorpyFX and has additionally lent his expertise to his partnership with musician Mikey Demus in forming Redbeard Effects.

In this episode we talk about how Adrian got into building pedals, what kinds of sounds he likes, and yes, we talked about NAMM!

David Ross is a guitar repair technician who has started his own line of pedals. He has built his business in Binghamton, NY.  His dad was a Jazz musician and educator and it came to David naturally as he got older and inevitably he got into electronics and tinkering with guitars and guitar pedals. That has manifested into starting his own business.

I had a lot of fun talking to David on the podcast and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

With a unique approach to the guitar, Adam Miller's music is groovy and approachable, whilst having a melodic sophistication that only comes from years of cross genre hopping. His inclusion of complex rhythms and dissonant haunting phrases, combined with breathtaking riffs and melodies are his signature. His jazz influenced style with finger-picking mastery creates a improvisation filled live performance that is beautifully unpredictable. This has seen him share stages with Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Matt Schofield, Russell Morris, Charlie Hunter, Adam Levy, Ariel Posen, Tony McManus, Ben Gillies (Silverchair), and more!

Tyler is a guitarist, tinkerer, and home recording enthusiast who decided he wanted to try his hand at building microphones. His story is a common one amongst many makers that I've interviewed on the podcast - he saw a need in his own musical life and decided to build it instead of buying it and in the process created a wonderful microphone that he now offers to the rest of the gear world. He is dedicated to making quality, top-tier, pro microphones at an affordable price that musicians can afford and access.

We had a great time in this conversation and I hope you enjoy it!

Gecko Pedals is an example of what happens when a dare between bandmates ruminates for 15 years and then is finally brought to fruition. Riley at Gecko Pedals has designed and released one of the most ambitious first pedals I've ever seen and it's incredible.

On this episode I talk to Riley and Pete about the beauty of tape delays, the marvel of the echoplex, and why the Geckoplex EP-5 is such a wonderfully perfect pedal. We also hear more about Riley's story, how he got into making pedals, and how it was Pete's love for an Echoplex EP-4 that spurred the creation of Gecko Pedals.

Jesse Honig is obsessive - and I mean this in the most amazing way possible. He has a singular focus for audio integrity and authenticity. He's worked in some incredible studios, on the road for some incredible artists, and that's because he knows audio. This obsession with tone has lead him to create 29 Pedals, a branch of his bigger audio enterprise - Believable Audio.

Jesse introduced the EUNA and the OAMP to the pedal community - an auspicious start to have a pedal company with your first pedals being an input and an output buffer! He's made a name for himself in the quality of his pedals and artists are taking notice with more and more of his buffers showing up on pedalboards of some of the best players in the world.

I really enjoyed this conversation - Jesse is the best kind of podcast guest. He's gregarious and full of wonderful stories to tell. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!
