Donovan Johnson, founder of Cryptid Audio Investigations, joins us for some in-studio hijinx. Cryptid is a local guitar pedal brand in our backyard here in Columbus, Ohio, and we were thrilled to get to play with a bunch of his pedals. We discussed the creepy backstory of how he got twisted up in pedal fx creation too of course!

Mike is a 25-year veteran of the recording engineering world so the desire to go to great lengths to find the unique tones and effects are instinctual to Monkey Riot pedals. If you want your guitar to "do the roar!" you are in the riot place.

The Knobs interview German guitar maker Marcel Fehse founder of all aluminum Fehse Guitars. We ran into Marcel at NAMM 2024 and were truly blown away by his unique guitar design. The innovations go beyond simply being aluminum guitar body and necks. From the string-through nut  and the proprietary bridge to the faceted hollow neck, Marcel has outdone himself.
