00:45:40 Doug Christ from Thirty7 FX joins us! (stab: MP ? No idea)

\\n
    \\n
  • People have heard us talk about the Fat Guy Little Coat fuzz a lot lately. Tell us about how you started pedal building.
  • \\n
  • The thing I love about it is, it\\u2019s a fuzz but it behaves like a distortion or overdrive. Hard to explain but it\\u2019s about how it feels when I hit the string. How do you even do that?
  • \\n
  • Tell us about the new PCB version. How does it work to translate a circuit design?
  • \\n
  • What else do you have in the works!?
  • \\n
  • Check out Masters of the Cinematic Universe!
