BOSS PX-1 PLUGOUT FX

Big Shiny Tones Episode 2: The Norlin Era Gibson Guitar Fiasco - A Comedy of Frets and Regrets. Welcome to Big Shiny Tones, where we polish the tarnished tales of music history with a side of snark! In Episode 2, we dive headstock-first into the infamous Norlin Era of Gibson guitars, a time when "quality control" was more of a suggestion than a rule. Picture this: heavier bodies, wonky headstocks, and guitars that some say sounded like they were strung with wet noodles. Join your hosts, Jay Leonard J and Jonathan Lindsay, tone-chasing troubadours with a knack for finding humor in the clunkiest of chords, as we explore how Norlin’s "innovations" made guitarists weep but gave us plenty to riff on. Were Norlin Gibsons really that bad, or just misunderstood? Tune in, turn up, and let’s shred through the controversy.

NORLIN ERA GIBSON -  YES OR NO?

Welcome to Big Shiny Tones, where we dive headfirst into the glittering abyss of guitar gear that'll make your axe sound like it's auditioning for a UFO sighting (They’re in the oceans 🛸 😉).
Today, let's talk Floyd Rose tremolos—oh baby, these bad boys aren't just bridges, they're the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of whammy bars, locking down your strings tighter than a conspiracy theorist's tin-foil hat. The Floyd Rose is the unyielding overlord of sustain and stability, turning every riff into a seismic event. 
Now bow before my harmonic perfection!" And hot off the cosmic presses, the new Source Audio Encounter pedal? It's not just a delay-reverb duo; it's a psychedelic warp drive for your signal, blending swirling, otherworldly echoes and reverbs into soundscapes so trippy, you'll swear your Strat's channeling interdimensional squirrels (They’re in the trees!).

JAY LEONARD J and JONATHAN LINDSAY - BIG SHINY TONES EP4

Buckle up, tone chasers—meet the Marshall JMP Preamp Module, the pint-sized Plexi powerhouse that's got more vintage growl than a '70s rock god stumbling out of a glitter-fueled fever dream. Born from the epic alliance of Marshall and Synergy, this dual-channel tube beast (twin 12AX7s for that authentic harmonic hangover) lets you flip between '60s smooth-operator vibes and '70s headbanger fury with a flick of a switch. Crank it through its sneaky "0-watt" power stage for cranked-amp sag without rattling the neighbors, and dial in everything from polite cleans to distortion so searing, it’ll make your strings sizzle like a stage light on overdrive.
