Welcome aboard! It's another season of Guitar Nerds, and would you believe it, Matt and I are back for another year of shooting the s**t about our favourite guitars, amps, and effects!

In this first episode Matt and I are discussing yours and our new acquisitions and intentions for 2026. Will this be the year for valve/tube amps to make a triumphant come back after the surge in modellers over the last few years?

Hello dear listener,

Welcome back! This is the third chapter in 2025's Gear of the Year journey. Today is Phillip Carter's favourite category, amplifiers!
