    To top it off, we'll explore how to musically recreate sounds from the Nintendo series "Luigi's Mansion." Get ready for a ghoulishly good time!

  • This week's podcast features a bonus signal chain episode. Alan and Paul explore several pedals that don't fit neatly into typical categories. They discuss various types of pedals, including glitch, tape saturation, pitch shifting, and octave generation, and share their experiences experimenting with them. The hosts also emphasize that not every unusual pedal suits everyone's needs, and it's perfectly fine to avoid following every trend in the pedal world.

  • On what some might consider to be just an extension of the Delay episode, Alan & Paul continue to wax poetic about the joy of end of chain: Reverb. In this episode you’ll find out which reverb pedals and reverb types they enjoy, and what the purpose of this effect holds for the way they play. You’ll also get a sense of some of the various types of reverb to be in the hunt for as we all go on this journey together!

  • We finally made it everyone! Alan and Paul's favorite effect: delay! We'll talk about what the effect is as well as how reverb is just delay when you really think about. On this episode we'll continue exploring the signal chains and talk about our favorite delays, artists who inspire us using the effect, and a whole lot more. We also got so excited that Paul forgot what Alan asked him and started talking about all the pedals he's played in the delay space.
