Ep. 71 - Birthday Buds

Hank and Dave do everything together, including having birthdays. This week the Gearbuds celebrate another trip around the sun the only way they know how - by making a podcast and riffing on gear. The two main topics center around hopping back aboard the gear-swapping train and digging deep into making Profiles on a Kemper. Chats include the pros and cons of posting a big gear teaser list on Craigslist, telling the full story of Kemper Profiling with James Pepper and a beautiful ’64 Fender Princeton Reverb that belongs to Nathaniel Rateliff (including some trial and error tips and tricks for nailing the sound of your amp), and even throwing it back to our roots with a little Grindin’ my Gearbuds. Also discussed: the Diode Eins free sample pack, Alice Cooper, Mastodon’s Leviathan, editing with jackhammers, bassboi talks, and a final check-in on Jack White’s Third Man gear auction. You can’t have enough lamps in your rehearsal space.
