Barton McGuire doesn't believe a guitar pedal should politely prevent you from making a bad sound. Where's the adventure in that? In this episode, Blake sits down with the founder of Cosmodio Instruments to talk about accidental self-oscillation, homemade noise contraptions, imposter syndrome, and the long road from stuffing circuits into RadioShack boxes to running a growing pedal company. Barton explains why Cosmodio builds “adventurous pedals for adventurous people,” how the Gravity Well helped put the company on the map, and why a pedal should offer more than a carefully fenced pasture of acceptable guitar tones. Sometimes you need a beautiful chorus. Sometimes you need the machine to cough sparks and open a portal. They also dig into the realities of launching a small business, learning from criticism without being emotionally flattened by it, assembling the right team, and accepting that anything worth making will eventually irritate somebody on the internet. Plus: the Cosmodio Splinter Twin, glitchy pitch shifters, no-input feedback, Ryan Burke's approach to trolls, New Zealand pizza, and the enduring importance of twisting the knob you probably shouldn't twist.
