Get Offset

So, you get a weird pedal. What do you do? Put it on your board, or stack it on the shelf? Today, Andrew and Emily talk about why you should always put an "unusable" pedal on your board.  Sponsored by Jennings Guitars and SONICAKE. 

Happy new year! Today, Emily and Andrew have Matthew Hoopes from 1981 Inventions and Relient K. They talk about his pedal building journey, favorite guitar shops in Nashville and Cincinnati (shout out to Eastside Music Supply and Mike's Music), cheeseburgers, pizza, and more.  Episode sponsored by Lambertones.

We're super excited (I'm sorry, STOKED) for this week's Christmas episode with Chad Jennings of Jennings Guitars. We talk about how he got started in guitar building, Surf Beach, our holiday guitar gifts of days past, and so much more.  Episode sponsored by Lambertones Pickups and Jennings Guitars. 

Emily and Andrew talk about leaks (namely the lead of the Chase Bliss Dark World digital reverb) and the idea of spoilers in the gear world and how it compares to the record industry. They also talk about comparisons between illegal file sharing in the record industry and the digital effects world and ponder the legality of selling a digital pedal pre-loaded with algorithms.  Want more?

This week, Emily and Andrew talk about the Ainsley prototype, a guitar Emily designed with Kevin Equitz of Equitz Guitars. That gets them talking about general dream guitars, including doghair finishes.  This week's episode was sponsored by Lambertone Pickups. Check out his new Jazzmaster Cremas today!

This week's episode of Get Offest was recorded during a road trip to Richland, WA shortly after Matthews Effects released the Astronomer V2! We talk about the ethics of building, his wildly popular Facebook group, limited runs, and more. 

Recently, Greenchild Amps got some flack in some gear groups about their new boost pedal, which looks similar to Thorpy designs. We chat about if Mason is in the clear here, or if he ripped off someone else's design.    Episode sponsored by Lambertone Pickups. Check out his new Jazzmaster Cremas today! Note: This episode was recorded a day before Greenchild posted a questionable image on their social pages (and within several gear groups). We don't discuss that in the episode for that reason, but please stay tuned through the end for our thoughts on the matter. 

This week on the Get Offset podcast, Emily and Andrew sit down with Canadian guitar builder Leila Sidi of TunaTone Instruments. They talk about cats, guitars, and the guitar building community. Episode sponsored by Lambertone Pickups. Check out his new Jazzmaster Cremas today!

The gang gets nerdy about humidity. Zach talks about coming around to the Helix. Andrew and Zach talk pickups. Emily talks about what she'd miss most about pedals if she got a Helix. Episode sponsored by Lambertone Pickups. Check out his new Jazzmaster Cremas today!

Andrew and Emily took a trip to Yakima to do a podcast with Kurtis Lamberton of Lambertone Pickups. Zach calls in and asks some great questions. We talk about hops and pickups and coffee.

In this week's podcast, the Get Offset team talks about bad advice and good advice. Emily rags on people who promote the idea of a poor man's copyright, and Andrew tells you about your rights when you travel with guitars.

Just because you play guitar doesn't mean you'll ever actually get into gear culture. On the first episode of Get Offset, Emily, Zach, and Andrew talk about how they got into guitar gear in general. Plus, Andrew tells us one of his deepest, darkest secrets.
