Welcome to this week's episode of the Guitar Nerds Podcast! This week, I'm joined by 40 Watt Podcast's Phillip Carter, marking his return to the podcast for 2024!

We'll be discussing his favourite amplifiers from The NAMM Show 2024, as well as my recent hunt for a cool new pedalboard.

Our Sound Sample for this week is the Diamond Pedals Tremolo and Bass Compressor, and I think they sound extremely lovely!
