We'll be discussing a handful of the wonderful pedals that I've been checking out at this year's Stompbox Deli in London.We're also delving deep on two pedals in particular; firstly, the Meris Mercury X, which Blake has been a huge fan of since its release, but I didn't realise just how good it really is until this week.Secondly, we're having another look at the Great eastern FX Co. XO Pedal...still currently unreleased, but Blake has one, and he's having a great time with his, so we thought we'd continue our embargo breaking trend and make some sound samples with one!

    Hello dear listener, This week, Matt and I are discussing the art of downsizing one's guitar rig/collection to the essentials! We'll be reviewing the Guitar Nerds Group Facebook Poll to see what ONE guitar you would keep over everything else, and we'll be discussing how Matt can downsize his pedalboard to a selection of essential tones!(On a side note; apologies for any sync issues between Matt's audio and my own this week. We were trialling a new platform that was so bad we had to abandon the video, and I had to spend hours trying to deal with near constant audio glitching and drift. Normal service will resume next week.)
