Guitar Nerds
New JHS Fuzzes
This week The Guitar Nerds Podcast is sponsored by Shergold Guitars, Ernie Ball, Nobels Effects and Reverend Guitars
Shergold Guitars:
Celebrated by Total Guitar Magazine as “one of the most refined single-cuts on the market, with endlessly satisfying playability and a flawless set of tones”, the Shergold Provocateur combines remarkable specification with a retro vibe for a unique and bona fide rock guitar.
You can find your nearest Shergold dealer here … And if you’re not in the UK, don’t fear, many UK based Shergold dealers have super awesome international shipping options to guarantee your Shergold will make it to you in the most far-flung of places.
Ernie Ball:
One of the most popular Ernie Ball Music Man models, the John Petrucci Majesty, is being welcomed with 4 brand-new, striking finishes.
Now offered in Pink Sand, Red Phoenix, Smoked Pearl, and Ember Glow, the 2020 Majesty features a lightweight okoume body, signature DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher pickups, and an onboard piezo bridge system that gives the guitar a focused and highly versatile palette of tones.
Check them out here.
Nobels:
Speak to a lot of Nashville session greats about their favourite overdrive pedal, and plenty will point to one box, the ODR-1 from Nobels.
This legendary drive pedal now includes a built in bass cut allowing the player to tame some of the that wild low end whilst Single coils users can still access the harmonically rich full range of the ODR-1.
There really has never been a better time to own this absolute cult classic transparent overdrive pedal to deliver creamy, natural overdrive – Everything from pushed clean amp tones to gain filled stacks!

Reverend Guitars:
Check out Reverend Guitars Incredible range of Artist signature models. With nearly as many artist line guitars as they do in their standard range there is something for every type of player and always with a wonderful twist.
Check out the series of Reeves Gabrels signature models, each one with it’s own unique style and purpose.
Check them out here.
This week on The Guitar Nerds Podcast, the team take a look at a whole new range of vintage inspired fuzzes from JHS. Matt has bought more Danelectro pedals and Joe has discovered just how good the Boss GT-1000 really is.
