Pride and Brands
Happy Pride to our LGBTQQIAAP+ friends and listeners! This week, Emily talks about playing out with a band for the first time (and some upcoming gigs), Andrew talks about the two beers he's drinking and his move, and Emily shames him for not knowing who the frontman for The Who is. This episode's topic, however, is about Pride and our limited thoughts (as cis-het folks) about brands involving themselves within Pride, especially when monetization is involved. Related, here's a link to brands that give back to LGBT+ charities. Sponsored by…you? Join our Facebook group and join the conversation! The Mt. Hood fuzz pedal by Spruce Effects is still available! There only three left in pink, so don’t wait too long to buy. The Mt. Hood has its humble beginnings as the first ever series of Big Muff, the Triangle version. We ditched the tone control for a passive 3 band eq tone stack, added a presence control after the last gain stage for more tone shaping, put a footswitchable Germanium boost with gain and tone controls, and a diode switch to add an extra order of magnitude of tonal options.
