Guitar Nerds
TateFX, Nobels, and the Tri Parallel Mixer
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:
A homage to the original Ernie Ball Music Man Sabre guitar of the late ’70s, Music Man engineers and design team have put a modern spin on the classic instrument for 2020.
The Sabre guitar features an okoume body, a carved maple top, and custom Ernie Ball Music Man humbucking pickups, delivering lively, dynamic sound with a striking clarity and sustain.
Aesthetically, the Sabre is equally compelling. Its bookmatched premium top is adorned with natural binding, which elegantly highlights the raw beauty of the figured maple wood grain.
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 Bob Balch and Robin Finck signature model based on the Reverend Sensei standard model these double cut, set neck Korina body classics are set apart by some wonderful subtle differences.
