  486-Interview With Lazer Tyree 15.09.2026 1ч 42мин

  Guitar builder Lazer Tyree joins us from Kobe, Japan, to share his story. We had lots of double-takes on this one because Lazer's California-based guitar journey is pretty remarkable, especially because of some truly top-shelf mentors. He is in Japan now, following his own path and putting his knowledge to work, and trying to learn the language ;-)   Hosted by Todd Novak with Tony Dudzik   #guitarpodcast #electricguitar #pedaleffects #pedalfx #theguitarknobs #guitarknobs #guitarinterview #guitaramplifier #guitarpickups #guitarsetup #fuzz #overdrive #reverb #distortion #guitartips    Visit us at theguitarknobs.com Support our show on Patreon.com/theguitarknobs

  485-Interview With Coppersound Pedals V6 08.09.2026 1ч 24мин

  Alex Guaraldi of Coppersound Pedals stops in again to share their newest edition in the DIY Cir-Kit series. The Boost-a-Drive-a-Fuzz, as seen on JHS’ Short Circuit with Josh Scott, is an incredibly fun build kit that covers sounds from Electra Distortion, the RAT, and the Fuzz Face. On top of that, the Coppersound team has probably spent even more time on a thorough and thoughtful step-by-step guide and accompanying videos. Best in class!  Hosted by Todd Novak with Tony Dudzik   #guitarpodcast #electricguitar #pedaleffects #pedalfx #theguitarknobs #guitarknobs #guitarinterview #guitaramplifier #guitarpickups #guitarsetup #fuzz #overdrive #reverb #distortion #guitartips    Visit us at theguitarknobs.com Support our show on Patreon.com/theguitarknobs
