This week's podcast features a bonus signal chain episode. Alan and Paul explore several pedals that don't fit neatly into typical categories. They discuss various types of pedals, including glitch, tape saturation, pitch shifting, and octave generation, and share their experiences experimenting with them. The hosts also emphasize that not every unusual pedal suits everyone's needs, and it's perfectly fine to avoid following every trend in the pedal world.

Alan and Paul begin their signal chain series by discussing compressors. This episode kicks off an introductory series that will explore the components of a pedalboard. A compressor is an effect that evens out the volume of your guitar playing by reducing the level of loud sounds and boosting quieter ones. This can add sustain to notes and create a more consistent overall sound. Our hosts will talk about their experience with compressors, how they fit into their sound, and how they use them. This episode lays the foundation for upcoming discussions on other pedal types, helping listeners understand how to build and optimize their signal chain. Whether you're new to effects or looking to refine your tone, we hope this series will provide valuable insights into crafting your ideal guitar sound.
