  • Webfingers & Co
    Mostly Great!
    The best is when Jared, Tony and Todd are on together, with Rob Chaffe also great. One of the most enjoyable guitar related podcasts anywhere. Todd gets cringeworthy when inexplicably shaming his good natured co-hosts or blowing smoke up guests skirts. He too can sometimes run episodes as if they were infomercials instead of keeping it real. But even with those annoyances I rarely miss an episode. More Jared!!
  • SW41
    Great podcast
    It is a nice blend of humor and information
  • Rowlander11
    Podcast perfection
    I’ve listened to a lot of guitar / gear podcasts and this one is my favorite. There’s a good mix of banter and actual gear related content. The featured guests are always good if not awesome. This show is a must for gearheads.
  • theroostercrow
    Great guitar gear show
    Awesome guests, fun hosts and a format that works. They have a good time but keep it on track. It’s cool getting insight into new stuff happening in the gear world, hearing about upcoming companies, and learning more in-depth about how the gear we love works.
  • Craebel
    Boring
    So. Boring.
  • brady action
    5 starz
    Finally a guitar podcast that’s actually fun to listen to!! Yass! Keep up the good work, y’all are hilarious and I learn a lot too!
  • Scone Mason
    The best guitar podcast
    Knowledgeable dudes who go off the beaten path of guitardom to find people who are really trying new things and creating a niche world of great pickups, pedals, guitars, and amplifiers. They don't just read aloud all the ads from Guitar Player and call it a podcast, they interview the people doing the creating, fascinating non-conformists who are trying to push the envelope of electric guitar-generated sound. Fly in the face of convention, guitar beings! Turn up The Guitar Knobs!
  • religion=sheet
    The knobs knows
    Have to say this is probably my to go podcast to listen too highly recommend it!!
  • Potato factory laborer
    Rad!
    Really rad and entertaining, always need more excuses to think about pedals and this podcast feeds my crippling addiction really nicely. Also appreciate the use/invention of the term "Burgundy'd".
  • Jesse Rude
    Love it
    I love the podcast! These guys are super weird and I’ve learned about so many small companies that are making awesome gear
  • Millett138
    Awesome gear show with fun angle & segments
    These three are good friends and hosts - love the four on the floor series and their take on the boutique guitar industry. Really enjoy the informational special episodes.
  • Blacknoise666
    Would yooooooooooou raaaaaaaaaaatheerrrrrrrr!?
    Would you rather listen to Todd, Toni, and Jared getting tons of new info on gear, DIY, and smaller businesses to support in the community or just some other show with a boring lame host? The answer is obvious! THE KNOBS! I’ve been listening to this show non-stop and I can’t stop.
  • Spewbag.
    Gear infotainment at its best!!
    Todd,Tony and Jared are ALWAYS entertaining as well as giving you the very best guitar gear content. The show is well put together and pro ..... BUT not glossy and homogenized ...... human. It’s great to hear about boutique gear from all over the world as well from your home town. Love this cast!!🤘😎🤘
  • Norman527843082
    Great Guitar Pod
    This podcast is really entertaining and informative. Any guitar fan would be remiss to pass this one up!
  • Flip Murray
    Thank you finally
    A guitar gear podcast that actually talks about guitar gear and not an hour of off topic subjects
  • Bretalexander
    Fantabulous!!
    Love these guys! Great content, great guests, great casting! Keep it up!
  • PiNKFL0yD
    My absolute “go to” guitar podcasssssst...
    Do you love all things Guitar?? Would you like to be entertained??? Do you like to laugh more occasionally than not??? Do you like to learn about a bunch of guitar stuff that you may not already know (referring to their “101” shows)??? Do you want to listen to people as nuts about guitars as you might be?? If you say yes to any of these, give this show a listen.. Definitely one of the best guitar related podcasts out there.. I even sacrifice some of my guitar $$$ every month to sponsor these guys on Patreon I love it so much, and I’m VERY cheap.. :) Thanks for the great podcast guys!! (If you read this of course)...
  • LikeAlotofMusic
    Great podcast for all guitarists.
    I’ve been listening to The Guitar Knobs podcast for about 4 months now. I’ve been a guitar player for over 30 years. These guys are just like you. They are into guitar gear and discussing it. When listening to their interviews they get small boutique builders of all things guitar to talk about how they got their starts. What interested them. What their goals are as a small manufacturer. They usually always have a discount for Guitar Knob listeners. Whenever I listen to an episode I feel like I just gained more knowledge about my chosen craft of guitarist. It had empowered me to rewire guitars, install new pickups, make adjustments, and even now I am converting a guitar into a fretless guitar. listening to The Knobs gives you that confidence you need to become a total guitarist, just by listening to regular guys like you and me talk about projects they are working on. Have a listen ..... you will be happy you did.
  • Conga Brain
    NOT just another guitar podcast!
    I have a few favorite guitar podcasts but I haven’t gravitated towards many of the gear related content out there because they just weren’t entertaining enough... until The Guitar Knobs! These guys are great! They not only feed my love of gear, but they have great interviews with interesting people. I highly recommend these guys!
  • GinoAmes
    Fantastic every time!
    A great weekly show that focuses on small builders in the guitar realm. Great guests and subjects. I would also like to point out that the sound quality is always perfect. I look forward to each show.
  • Garyg928
    Great Podcast!
    Very informative and very entertaining!
  • X
    A Show for guitar geeks
    Love this Show, great information on guitar petals, Amps and some music history. Each host bring great information to the table. The guests have good stories and talk about circuits they use!!
  • Bo Daishes
    Echo Park Guitars
    The dude from echo park guitars sounds like he’s Fkn high!! What was he on?
  • avasdaddy
    Jared is Correct
    I usually always agree with Jared. Except when it comes to Forever Pick.
  • Telecaster
    More amps!
    Enjoyed the Amps 101 episode a lot. More in-depth stuff on amps, please.
  • Fat Schrade
    Turn up the Knobs!
    These guys are knowledgeable informative and funny. They make you think about your gear and introduce you to pedals, amps and guitar makers you might not otherwise find. The guests are great. I keep a pad and pencil handy to write down all the interesting and cool gear they talk about that I want to research later. I learn something new every episode. They will stop and explain the terms, concepts and gear they covering so if you are a beginner or a full on gear junky you will enjoy this podcast.
  • TurtleCoveBrewer
    The Knobs are pegging at 11!
    I have nothing but positive things to say about the show. Loving the interviews and learning with every episode. I'm an amateur luthier with an interest in electronics. Bam, what a great fit I'm just like you fellas!
  • Nate Palumbo
    New Buddies!
    Man I love my podcast friends. Makes work so much better. These guys put out a great show and I cant say enough how much I have gottten out of thier interviews ... Check out the super cool series on Types of Pickups. Very Informitive.
  • Venus Armata
    Best Guitar/Gear podcast right now and I listen to 10 other ones every week
    I listen to a lot of guitar podcasts such as:Tone Mob, Gear Talk, JHS's(forgetting the name), The Mastering Show, The Tone Mob, No Guitar is Safe, Amps and Axes, Chasing Tone, and some more I'm forgetting the name of. I've also checked out a few episodes of 15+ more which I didn't end up too interested in. Guitar Knobs is currently my favorite because there is great humor, experienced and diverse opinions on gear/playing, very knowledgable hosts who are true gear heads and have yet to make an episode I have skipped or was disinterested by in the slightest. Worth the listen! Thanks for the great content knob goblins.
  • Alchemy Audio
    Great Show!
    A promising new entry to the music / gear podcast field. I recently discovered the show and was interviewed by the gang. The conversation was informative, casual and humorous. Keep up the great work!
  • Gilley151
    Great Show! Also, Dear Todd....
    If you are into guitar and gear conversation, this is a solid show. I like the format of what's new into an interview with guest knobs, or talk about gear related topic. I really appreciate the effort and the time you fellas put into this podcast. I am a store vendor that does nothing but stock shelves and drive all day, so I have look forward to listening to the next podcast when it's available. I am also somewhat new to gigging and holding down a band, so it's nice to here what others have to say about it so I too can prepare for the good and the bad. Also, I love hearing for other builders and companies that would have never known about, but thanks to you guys I do. The David Harris and Chris Graham interviews in particular were such lovely episodes. Great stuff. Now time for the "Dear Todd" section..... Dear Todd, I would like to say first you are a fine host and a good speaker, and yes there is a but to this. I wear headphones while I work when i'm listen to the show. When I first started listening to the show I was very exicited that I had found such a entertaining show that had music gear subject matter and some down right funny earlier episodes, but I have one critque for you. I know this is something that doesn't bother a lot of people but you smack your mouth a lot right before you have something to add to the conversation and it's quite a bummer. Mouth noises like that are a big turn off for me and probably for others as well, especially when I have headphones in. I know that you do this podcast out of the love in your heart for gear and music, and i can't get my free internet dollars back for listening to the show. I'm just giving you some advice and only wish you guys on the show the very best. May your guitar knobs glaze across the universe forever and amen.
