This week, Joey and Derek dive into one of their favorite pedal brands — Mythos Pedals — and talk about the story, the sounds, and the friendship behind them.

Joey shares how his connection with Zach Broyles (founder of Mythos) goes all the way back to the very first Brothers Landreth show in Nashville, and how that led to his own signature Mjolnir and High Road Fuzz pedals. The guys plug in multiple versions of the Mjolnir, compare tones, talk NOS germanium diodes, and joke their way through what “scrungy” really means.

They also get into how feel changes everything — why the Mjolnir reacts differently than you’d expect, what makes the High Road fuzz so unique, and how subtle tweaks can make a pedal feel more alive.

There’s plenty of tone talk, nonsense, and accidental product promotion along the way.

🎛️ Pedals featured:

Mythos Mjolnir (various versions)

Mythos High Road Fuzz

Bonus: references to Hendrix, Ghostbusters, and the “Maillard effect” (don’t ask)

🎸 Guest shoutout: Zach Broyles — Mythos Pedals

EQ Pedal Shootout | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 44

This week, Joey and Derek go deep on one of the most underrated tools on your board — EQ pedals.
What started as a “clean boost side quest” turned into a full-blown shootout between classics, mods, and a few surprises.

The guys compare the legendary Boss GE-7, the XTS and Analog Man mods, the bargain-bin Behringer EQ700, the Earthling Designs Preamp, and of course the wild Chase Bliss Condor.
From subtle tone-shaping to straight-up sonic surgery, they find out which one actually makes your rig sound better — and which one just adds noise.

Along the way there’s LaCroix, shameless self-promotion, some serious nerding about frequencies, and one or two jokes at each other’s expense.

Grab a drink, turn it up, and hang out — because it turns out EQ pedals are way more fun than anyone admits.

The Rock Slide | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 43

This week, Joey and Derek dive deep into the world of slide guitar — and if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to actually play slide in tune, this is the episode for you. Joey breaks down everything from basic open E tuning and muting technique to vibrato tips that make your playing sing.

The guys also check out a full box of Rock Slide guitar slides that Danny Songhurst sent over — glass, brass, nickel, and of course Joey’s signature Rock Slide. They test them all, talk tone differences, and even give Derek a crash course in slide playing (with plenty of laughs along the way).

You’ll also get a sneak peek at why the Revv D20 – Joey Landreth Edition now ships with a Rock Slide included — the perfect way to start exploring slide for yourself.

Grab a beverage, hang out, and let us know in the comments which slide you prefer: glass, brass, or nickel?
