Decided to do something this week that I wanted to touch on. A new series I'm starting called "Mornings With Manuals". The focus is to pull out the instruction manual on pedals I own and delve into the features to learn how to better use and implement them! First up is the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Minim Delay/Reverb pedal. This thing is NUTS. With a separate modulated delay and reverb, a reverse function that allows some unique playability, and an order switch that changes where in the chain the reverse comes, safe to say its gonna be awhile before I'm 100% confident with this pedal. Check Old Blood Noise Endeavors out below and let me know what you think!

I've been thinking about the "best in show" gear that I came across at NAMM this year, as we discussed in our recent episode with guest Collin Adler. I mentioned a few pieces that were my favorites but I glossed over quite possibly THE best in show for guitar world: Dover Amplification!

I go over their offerings on the website and give a few sound clips from NAMM I found.
