Are You Down To Clown? w/ Cassandra & Clark of AmpRx

We have got a good one for you this week!

Clark and Cassandra from AmpRx (the makers of BrownBox) share the story of how they met on stage in Nashville as professional musicians, and eventually how they came to run the company. It is definitely not a traditional route to owning a music gear company! (You are going to like this.)

We discuss the clean/dirty power, what problems their products address, troubleshooting noise issues, ELECTRIC VIOLIN, power conditioners, MYSTERY NOISES, favorite pedals, VINTAGE BASS, and a whole lot more!
