The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.

episode 364: British Bass Amps w/ Mark & Dan of Ashdown Engineering
This one has been over a year in the making! I had the opportunity to sit down with Mark and Dan Gooday of Ashdown Engineering to chat at GearFest and we had an absolutely incredible chat!
Ashdown is a UK based amplifier company that is most widely known for their innovations in the bass amplification market, and the iconic VU Meter adoring their equipment.
Mark starts off the discussion by diving into his history as a driving force behind Trace Elliot, and we dive into the nuances of running a manufacturing operation.
Dan also chimes in and talks about his story of joining the family business, helping form the brand identity, the "Ashdown Forest" and a whole lot more.
