Academy of Tone: Surprise Q&A!

Описание: Sometimes the best moments are unplanned…

During a technical hiccup with episode #265 of Academy of Tone, something special happened:
We turned the issue into an opportunity and hosted an unexpected, spontaneous Q&A session – and it was packed with insightful discussions and great vibes from our amazing community!

What came up in the chat? A LOT!
Here are just a few of the exciting topics we explored together:

How to play faster – technique tips and practice advice

The secret of the Homebase Pick – why it’s so effective
Gain stacking – how to layer drives for the perfect tone
Improvisation ideas – what to do when you keep repeating yourself
Transformer magic – the tonal qualities of the BluBOX

Staggered pole pieces – what they do and why they matter
AMP1 Mercury vs. Silver – what sets them apart
Studio vs. guitar preamps – understanding their differences and role
Finger health on tour – tips for keeping your hands in shape when gigging daily

It was real, raw, and 100% live – powered by your questions and Thomas’s decades of experience.
