Rabbits and opossums scurry in the underbrush.  Hawks scream and desert their craggèd aeries.  Behold: the hour draweth nigh; the Centaurs have awoken.

In the third and final part of this series, professional man of sounds @DanBoeckner and MSJ take an exhaustive look at the history, design, evolution, and grand global economic crises intertwined with the epidemic spread of, guitar effects pedals.  PLUS: Dan chronologically picks out the most important sounds in his personal pedal biography and explains how he used them to build the distinct soundworlds of various Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, and Operators albums.

[One correction: the Delay Llama is made by JAM Pedals, not Wampler.  They're both great.  Check out the JAM Harmonious Monk and Rattler pedals.]

Michael, I love guitars... but any chance to go back to the normal programming on conspiracy, geopolitics and world order? I would particularly love an episode on the dismantling of Yugoslavia, the funnelling of weapons to jihadis in Bosnia through the Third World Relief Agency, NATO support for Nazi separatists in Croatia and Bosnia, Serbian paramilitary groups and the messy violence that unfolded, and why Western intervention ushered in a new imperialist strategy.

thank you for this delightfully wholesome guitar nerd discourse (meant in earnest) and for reminding me of the wagoneer w/ the fake wood panel exterior dad had in the mid 80s. what a time to be alive 🖤 now excuse me while i call my mom and ask if that box with my old mixtapes in it is still collecting dust in the attic

Ordered a bass chorus pedal because of you guys. Another great ep. Had no idea about Sovtek.

I haven't listened to the episode, but if you do touch on Sovtek, oh my God, I want to hear about that. I'm sure the real story is a fantastic one. Never seen one in person, though.

Used to have a Sovtek Mig 100 AND a DL4. This brought back some serious trauma.

Does anyone here know anything about the Dyna Comp "Weed Mod"? I've been searching for a half hour as to what it actually does, since these versions sell for 3x a normal Dyna Comp. Just curious...

Owen Martial

Just putting this out there: Death/Corner brand amplifiers and/or pedals

Will Camfield

Do you guys really not even fuck with Love Over Gold? 🥺🥺🥺

Panic

thank you so much for putting this series out! it reminded me so strongly of hearing people in the back of venues and shitty basements shooting the shit about gear pre-virus and it made me miss shows even more (but in a good way)

Little connection to earlier DIJK content, but isn't Ronson a MK1 Tone Bender user?
