What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

New to the pod, saw TSO for first time in Dallas 2025. Incredible is not strong enough to describe, but when angus came into the crowd and gave me a fist pump, that sealed the deal for best concert ever, and at age 65, I've seen everyone

james from waco · Feb 2026

I have been binging episodes and really like what I have heard so far. The host and guests have great knowledge and passion for music and guitars. There have been some great guests on the show. The host does have opinions as do we all! However, they don’t seem to be overbearing.

Geoff.D · Jul 2024

Likable host with deep knowledge of products and practices; ultimately well worthwhile. The delivery, though, can be excruciatingly egocentric (not egotistical!) with lots of divergence into the host discussing himself and his preferences without lots of value to the listener. We’re glad you love Super Reverbs, but can we get back to discussing amps — plural — and hearing what a guest might think? Thanks for the podcast… just try to remember that amps and gear are the subject, not you.

Nicky McNickname · Feb 2023

One of my favorite guitar podcasts. Feel I learn a lot and have a lot of fun.
