Summary
This week, we're chatting with Rhys John Stubbs, founder of UK-based Bigfoot Engineering. Rhys is best known for his effects pedals, but he just released a beautiful album of original acoustic guitar instrumentals called 'Zems.' We love it. We talk about Rhys' journey through music (and how a Fretboard Journal video with the Milk Carton Kids shaped his playing!), his love for acoustic guitars, pedal production, and so much more. https://www.bigfootengineering.com/ Listen to 'Zems': https://www.bigfootengineering.com/music.html#/ Our next Summit takes place August 20-22, 2026, at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
