🎧 Inside This Black Friday Edition of the ThroBak Guitar Lounge Podcast:
Jon Gundry and Matthew Quail demo three of our most requested pickups and pedals—all included in the 20% off sale.
1️⃣ SLE-101 MXV P.A.F. Reproduction Pickups
Hear these vintage-correct P.A.F. repros in:
• A Heritage H-150 Les Paul-style guitar
• A Gibson ES-335
Played clean and dirty so you can hear how the SLE-101 MXV responds in two classic P.A.F.-equipped body styles.
2️⃣ T-’59 MXV Telecaster Pickups
Demoed in a Jimmy Page Signature Fender Telecaster, both clean and overdriven.
These hand-wound Alnico 5 Tele pickups deliver the punchy, articulate tones that make the T-’59 MXV one of our most popular Tele sets.
3️⃣ StrangeMaster Treble Booster
Our tribute to the legendary Germanium Dallas Rangemaster, expanded with a Silicon mode inspired by the Zonk Machine and similar boosters used by:
Eric Clapton • Tony Iommi • Rory Gallagher • Brian May • Marc Bolan • Ritchie Blackmore
Hear how the StrangeMaster nails those classic treble-boosted rock tones—with even more flexibility.
🎵 Rorschach Riffs: Treble Booster Edition
Matthew takes you through iconic riffs associated with booster-driven tones—your chance to hear the StrangeMaster shine once again.
🗞 Plus: Matthew’s Musical Musings
