The Bad Guitarist

This week we discuss the latest releases, including the Orange Amplification Baby Terror, Chase Bliss small batch 2026, Third Man Hardware's latest collaboration pedal with 1981 Inventions, MXR Textures and more! We also discuss the ongoing trend of every guitar YouTuber jumping on every single trending topic and flooding the news cycle for weeks at a time. Andrew makes a shocking discovery after visiting Guitar Center for the first time in months.

Ep. 91: This week we discuss the latest guitar gear releases, including pedals from the Keeley Custom Shop, Native Audio, Warm audio in collab with Dirty Boy Pedals, Greer Amps, Catalinbread and so much more! We also discuss the Billie Joe Armstrong Marshall amp and signature Epiphone and ask "what is a ROBUST guitar pedal enclosure?"
We also dig in to the potential use of AI by D'Addario Strings in their latest ad and the irony of advertising products for creators with the least creative form of promotion.

This week we take a look at a YouTube channel that goes by the name "Guitar Gems with Chase". We dive into the suspiciously fast rise in subscribers, views and frequency in which they post. The entire channel appears to be a content-farmed project and based on their comment section, many are falling for it. Join us for our investigation into this fake YouTuber.
