Guitar Tone Network

In podcast 008 we compare two "S" style guitars in the interest of illustrating how two very similar designs can sound different. This is a 101 type podcast and may not be for everyone but have a listen to the HQ samples and see how a Fender Stratocaster with Lollar Blaclface pickups and an Acme Guitar Works wiring harness compares to a Nash S-63 with Fralin pickups. This episode includes some Strat History, The inevitable Strat Shootout, Post Mortem discussion, and some Listener Feedback.

In this podcast we take a listen to a few different power cables and a couple of different power conditioners to see if and how they affect tone. The claim is that an expensive power cable will dramatically improve live sound. We're just the guys to test that claim. :-D We debut a new News segment in this episode. We'll discuss Dirty vs. Clean Power, Industry Dogma, share personal power conditioning experience and the more recent history of clean power for guitar rigs. We've got a Shootout for you, and we'll discuss our findings in the Post Mortem.

Here we go with our second cable shootout. Our first cable shootout was the most popular episode to date, however we neglected to include some of the more common cables. So, this time we got it covered. :-) We also have some Feedback and Corrections to share.

In this episode we compare three different and fairly common guitars with a variation on the "Single Coil" Pickup. We'll have a brief history of single coils and single coil pickup construction. We also have a new segment called GTN Listener Feedback where we answer questions, take suggestions, and make corrections.

In this podcast we introduce ourselves and discuss what the Guitar Tone Network Podcast is all about.
