Steve Rowe Returns: NAMM Chaos, Silent Pedal Rooms, and the Future of Guitar Media

February 2
1h 23m

Episode Description

Steve Rowe from 60 Cycle Hum returns to the show after an eight-year gap, and we immediately time-travel back to the era of wired earbuds, headphone jacks, and recording next to a wall outlet like it’s a survival game.

From there, it’s a full spiral through the modern guitar media landscape: audio vs video, why interviews work when “can I talk to you for an hour?” absolutely shouldn’t, and how NAMM feels different depending on whether you’re stuck at a booth or sprinting the floor.

We hit the silent pedal room (eerily quiet), Woodwire Volts (chill, boutique, intentional), Effectors Market (dangerous for your wallet), and the existential questions, like: if you pair an internal speaker guitar with a fart pedal… do we delete the universe?

Also: favorite Boss pedals, pizza opinions, and why the secret sauce is still just showing up and doing the work.
