This segment is where we answer your questions and comments – hopefully every Monday.
The main focus of the Q&A will be the main show that went out on the preceding Friday, but we'll answer other stuff too.
This one is slightly unusual - it's Christmas, everybody is strapped for time, so we did it during the TPS Christmas Beverage.
Here's the link to the main show being discussed – it was posing the question of whether there are ‘bad’ pedal platform amps. Or not. https://youtu.be/GFr6_Hs2guo

• Extra info on TCM’s question about companies paying people to use gear in general…
“Hello TCM - there was a bit of the question I didn’t answer… ‘Do companies still pay artists to use gear?’. Erm, yes, but it’s not very common. It’s more likely to be a percentage on sales of signature equipment. Nevertheless, some companies still pay some artists a fee to use gear. As I say, it’s relatively rare.
“Far more likely is that the artist will be provided with the gear either free or at a vastly discounted rate in order to be an ‘artist'. That's the main benefit of being an artist.”
