00:45:40 Doug Christ from Thirty7 FX joins us! (stab: MP ? No idea)

• People have heard us talk about the Fat Guy Little Coat fuzz a lot lately. Tell us about how you started pedal building.
• The thing I love about it is, it’s a fuzz but it behaves like a distortion or overdrive. Hard to explain but it’s about how it feels when I hit the string. How do you even do that?
• Tell us about the new PCB version. How does it work to translate a circuit design?
• What else do you have in the works!?
• Check out Masters of the Cinematic Universe!
