Guitar Nerds
Gear of the Year 2023: Best Amplifier/Modeller
•
Hello and welcome to another year (the 10th year) of Gear of the Year Podcasts!
This year, Guitar Nerds have teamed up with Blake Wyland from The Tone Mob Podcast, and Phillip Carter from 40 Watt Podcast!
Together, we will be debating 4 categories: Best Guitar, Best Effects Pedal, Best Amplifier/Modeller, and Best Overall Guitar Product of 2023.
We’ll also be discussing the Listeners' Choice awards for each category as voted for on the Guitar Nerds Patreon and Facebook Group.
We have a massive list of releases from this year that we have boiled down to the Top 11 in each category, so we'll be discussing the merits of each product and then debate a top 3!
