All Them Witches guitarist Ben McLeod joins us as he gears up for their 2026 tour. Ben conjures atmospheric, almost meditative riffs one moment and unleashes soaring leads the next. His tone shifts constantly within a single song, from delicate and spacious to heavy and searing, but what really sets him apart is his timing and balance with the drums and bass.  Hosted by Todd Novak with Tony Dudzik   #guitarpodcast #electricguitar #pedaleffects #pedalfx #theguitarknobs #guitarknobs #guitarinterview #guitaramplifier #guitarpickups #guitarsetup #fuzz #overdrive #reverb #distortion #guitartips    Visit us at theguitarknobs.com Support our show on Patreon.com/theguitarknobs

Guitar builder Lazer Tyree joins us from Kobe, Japan, to share his story. We had lots of double-takes on this one because Lazer's California-based guitar journey is pretty remarkable, especially because of some truly top-shelf mentors. He is in Japan now, following his own path and putting his knowledge to work, and trying to learn the language ;-)   Hosted by Todd Novak with Tony Dudzik   #guitarpodcast #electricguitar #pedaleffects #pedalfx #theguitarknobs #guitarknobs #guitarinterview #guitaramplifier #guitarpickups #guitarsetup #fuzz #overdrive #reverb #distortion #guitartips    Visit us at theguitarknobs.com Support our show on Patreon.com/theguitarknobs
