    Obsessed with Pearly Gates

    Rhett and Zach catch up while Rhett is on tour with The Midnight. We dive into all that's going on and go deep on why Zach want's a Pearly Gates Les Paul now that they are coming back. We touch on why Collings are some of the best guitars in the world and much more.

    Our Current Guitar Rigs

    On today's episode, we test out YouTube's new Gemini-powered AI thumbnail generator on a clip of Rhett — and the results are so uncanny that we go on the record: any channel using AI-generated thumbnails or AI B-roll gets an instant "do not recommend" from us. Plus a quick follow-up on the D'Addario/Suno AI controversy, a spicy hot take on whether Stratocasters or Telecasters are more versatile, and an announcement that Fretboard Summit rig-dip submissions are now open to anyone attending in person. Then we get into the real stuff: Addison, Zach, and Rhett each walk through their actual current rigs — Addison's in-ear-monitor church gig board built around a Quad Cortex Mini, Zach's stripped-down Marshall JCM800 and modified Flying V, and Rhett's elaborate Axe-Fx III touring rack built to sound like his records live. We close it out by rating a viewer's wet/dry rig submission from Renan.

    Are You A Musician, Or Just A "Guitar Player"?

    On today's episode, Rhett gives an update on the AI channel that was impersonating him — it's been taken down, but the bigger story is what's happening across YouTube right now: a cycling channel getting its video ripped off nearly scene-for-scene with AI voiceover, deepfake channels targeting female guitarists, and real creators quietly slipping AI-generated B-roll into otherwise genuine videos. Then a viewer hot take — "guitar culture and music culture aren't the same thing" — kicks off a real, personal conversation about hobbyist vs. professional identity, why we all feel pressure to monetize our passions, and why keeping something just for yourself might be the healthiest thing you can do. Plus a Patreon Q&A on how to find people to jam with if you're not on social media, a round of new music recommendations, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's genuinely wild daw-less synth-and-guitar rig.

    Why Your Local Guitar Shop Might Not Survive

    On today's episode, Rhett, Zach, and Addison tackle a hot take that gets genuinely spicy: do all guitars actually sound the same? Then Rhett opens up about having his channel ripped off by an AI slop account (and what that's revealed about how broken YouTube's copyright system is), before the three of them dig into the state of the guitar store industry — why local shops are struggling, how Fender's direct-to-consumer push is undercutting its own dealers, the disappearing amp-repair trade, and what shop owners can actually do about it. Plus, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's rig — Gibson Flying V, Les Paul Jr., Dr. Z amps and all — to one of the highest scores we've ever given.

    Gainstaging and other Patreon Questions

    On today's episode, Rhett, Zach, and Addison dig into a stack of Patreon questions: how to properly gainstage your drive pedals into an amp without going harsh and farty, whether the Jazzmaster's bridge design cost it the throne from the Stratocaster, and the non-gear skills every guitar player should be building (learn to solder, learn to play bass, record yourself). Plus, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's rig — and it does not go well./ JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/dippedintone MERCH: https://www.dippedintone.com/merch FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/dippedintone DIPPED IN TONE IS: Rhett Shull https://www.rhettshull.com Zach Broyles / Mythos Pedals https://mythospedals.com & https://highvoltageguitars.com Produced & Edited by Addison! https://www.instagram.com/addisonsauvan 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:35 Directionally challenged 00:05:30 E-Bikes 00:06:25 Addison Update 00:07:47 Zach Update 00:10:10 Rhett Update 00:11:48 We’re going to be at Fretboard Summit! 00:15:16 Thanks so much Patrons! 00:16:23 HOT TAKE 00:24:20 Gain Staging Overdrives 00:30:24 Being careful with wet effects 00:36:23 In a recording situation 00:37:04 When things get harsh 00:39:56 Learning your gear 00:40:50 Overlooked skills guitar players should work on 00:43:30 Troubleshooting 00:44:10 Learning to setup your instrument 00:45:25 Listen to your bandmates 00:46:16 Learn how to solder 00:48:09 Get a bass! 00:49:45 Rig Dip 01:00:52 Zach’s Shill 01:01:51 Rhett’s Shill 01:04:16 Addison’s Shill 01:06:51 Join us on Patreon BUY COOL GEAR (Affiliate Links): Universal Audio Enigmatic - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/o42Mve Fender Triple Caster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzRMvq Suhr Classic S Antique - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DyEomG Benson Delay - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeEb4b Boss Roland DM-101 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/K0Nj5A TC 2290 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1oz26 Universal Audio Volt 876 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeko9M Boss Katana 50 Gen3 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DyEom5 Shure 545 (new production) - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/ravMyj Echo Fix EFX3 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/APzZMK Helix Stadium - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LKVnJa

    What makes a great Les Paul?

    Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! The three of us finally get into something that's been on the calendar for a while: what actually makes a good Les Paul. Zach brings out all his Les Pauls, Rhett has his R9, and Addison shows off the 2007 Studio Faded he's had since he was 15. We talk about what to listen and feel for when you're shopping — weight, acoustic resonance, how the D and G strings behave, and why the nut is almost always the reason your Les Paul won't stay in tune. Plus PAF pickup obsession, the case for unpotted pickups, top wrapping, tone woods, and why the inconsistency of Gibsons is a feature, not a bug. Hot take this week from Nicholas: flame tops and figured maple are ugly, and matching headstocks make a guitar look cheap. We're split. Rig dip goes to Matt, who spent his life working in music stores and trading his way up to a rig that might be the most expensive we've ever seen. 1964 SG, 1957 Strat, 1964 ES-335, 1952 Telecaster, two Two-Rocks, a Friedman, and a pedal board with too much gain?

    We Need to Talk About What Fender Is Doing

    Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! All three of us are back. Rhett's finally home after five weeks on the road with The Midnight, Addison has moved back to Kansas City (into the exact same house), and Zach is mid-kitchen renovation with no internet. It's fine. Everything's fine. Hot take this week: why is basically every guitar pick the same teardrop shape? We get into pick materials, shapes, Blue Chips, the Carol Kaye felt pick thing, and the Tom Bukovac acoustic strumming trick you probably haven't tried. Then things get serious. Fender has issued cease and desist letters to boutique S-style guitar builders across the EU, demanding they stop manufacturing, recall sold instruments, and destroy infringing inventory — all by Memorial Day. We dig into what's actually happening legally, why this almost certainly won't hold up, what it says about who's really running Fender now, and why LSL has launched a GoFundMe to fight back. We also talk through the vintage guitar market losing its mind — including a 1959 ES-335 at Carter Vintage listed at $107,000 — and dip a rig from Cody in Portland, who built his own SG during COVID and put Gibson on the headstock.

    Tour Stories, Kirk Hammett Guitars, and Chase Bliss Big Time

    Rhett calls in from the road, one month into The Midnight's tour. Their drummer landed in the hospital mid-tour, a monitor engineer stepped in off the couch to save the show, and a fill-in arrived on 17 hours notice and crushed it. Also: Rhett blew up a Divided by 13 at Brooklyn Paramount and accidentally came home with a Kirk Hammett signature V. Back in Nashville, Zach is keeping Mythos running and trying not to think too hard about it. We dig into the Chase Bliss Big Time, Rhett unboxes the CXM 1978, and we settle the debate on whether beginners should factor in resale value when buying their first guitar. Plus a Dip the Rig from Chips in the French Pyrenees. Thanks so much to the sponsor of today's episode, Sweetwater!
