About this episode

The episode discusses gain staging, guitar skills, and features updates on their live show and a viewer's rig review.

On today's episode, Rhett, Zach, and Addison dig into a stack of Patreon questions: how to properly gainstage your drive pedals into an amp without going harsh and farty, whether the Jazzmaster's bridge design cost it the throne from the Stratocaster, and the non-gear skills every guitar player should be building (learn to solder, learn to play bass, record yourself). Plus, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's rig — and it does not go well./ JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/dippedintoneMERCH: https://www.dippedintone.com/merchFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/dippedintone DIPPED IN TONE IS:Rhett Shull https://www.rhettshull.comZach Broyles / Mythos Pedals https://mythospedals.com & https://highvoltageguitars.comProduced & Edited by Addison! https://www.instagram.com/addisonsauvan 00:00:00 Intro00:00:35 Directionally challenged00:05:30 E-Bikes00:06:25 Addison Update00:07:47 Zach Update00:10:10 Rhett Update00:11:48 We’re going to be at Fretboard Summit!00:15:16 Thanks so much Patrons!00:16:23 HOT TAKE00:24:20 Gain Staging Overdrives00:30:24 Being careful with wet effects00:36:23 In a recording…
