12 Stomp Program

This week we revisit the theme of Episode 8 to see what gear obsession is like in the Far East. We're joined by Chris Roscoe of Rockso Music (and formerly of pop-punk veterans The Unknown) to talk about the vast differences between gear shopping and hoarding in the USA, Japan, and Europe as well as some reminiscing about buying music gear in Cleveland many years ago.

How much is too much to spend on gear? At what point does more dollars translate into meaningless pixie dust and possibly haunting mids?

Stan Simon returns to discuss the news that sent gear heads into a tizzy last week.

Has your GAS gotten worse over the years? Does the ever present and non-stop feed of gear-based content make you salivate like Pavlov's dog? This week we talk with Darrell Branch of the late, lamented, Heights Guitars about what triggered our desires for gear way back when and what we would have to go through to find it.

This week we take a break from talking about finding gear to make music, and get into the process of finding sounds to make music. Stephen Petrus of Murderous Vision is an artist who uses found sounds to create his dark ambient soundscapes (and more).

Why would you buy more than one of the "same" pedal? When does a clone stop being a clone? How many ways are there to make toast? All of these questions and more are answered, or at least asked on this week's episode with punk rock poly math Chris Pierce from Volume IV studio and too many bands to list (ok, we'll try, Doc Hopper, Sinkhole, Deadguy, Faux Replika, Mikey Erg...)

Sometimes you need to hunt for gear because you're compulsive, but sometimes you need to hunt for gear because you actually use it for your livelihood.

Would you pay a premium for a pre-distressed reliced guitar? Brent Ferguson of Cleveland's premiere guitar shop Guitar Riot makes a pretty darn convincing case for it.

Is GAS a uniquely American condition? Of course not, but since neither of us had any idea what it's like to be obsessed with gear in other countries, we enlisted the help of our friend Ed Wenn of the fantastic UK band Dealing with Damage to give us the lowdown on the trials and tribulations of gear acquisition in Old Blighty.

This week we talk to Kevin Jaworski of Pleasure Leftists (and 9 Shocks Terror, and Sun God, and Cheap Clone, and Machine Go Boom, and more...) about amplifiers.
