• Julia, one of the best selling chorus/vibrato pedals out there has an update!
• Now in stereo! Pedal sends dry to one amp and wet to the other
• Tap tempo footswitch with subdivision as well as an external tap/expression input
• Expression can control dept, rate, or both.
• Toggle switch for wave shape (triangle, sine, and random)
• Momentary secondary controls
• Hold down the bypass switch allows you to set a secondary LFO rate and control the amount of drift added to the LFO
• Drift gently speeds and slows the LFO rate. Not randomized, but still variable.
• Hold the Tap switch to activate secondary sounds.
• Controls for rate, depth, lag, and D-C-V
• Lag lets you set the center delay time that the LFO modulates around.
• D-C-V blend is setting the ratio of dry to wet signal through the mono channel. Vibrato fully clockwise, chorus around noon, dry fully counter-clockwise

00:33:24 Rhett Shull joins us! (stab: Deepspace Devices Golem)

• Atlanta/Nashville based guitarist and youtuber with over 240,000 subscribers!
• How did YouTube start for you? Was it something to try and supplement the life of a working musician? Was it just for fun?
• What’s your process like for creating a video? How long does it take?
• Tell us about Backstage Live. Is playing to a live stream even coming close to a “real gig”? How do you even begin to set something like that up?
• From Eric, one of our Patrons: Is being a professional guitarist what you expected it would be? What about it isn’t what you thought it would be
• What tremolo would you walk into a store and buy right now? (also from Eric)
• Is there some new piece of gear you’re most excited to try out?/What piece of gear is on the top of your wishlist?
• Check out Rhett’s Discord server: https://discord.gg/hMTvsRb
