David Ross is a guitar repair technician who has started his own line of pedals. He has built his business in Binghamton, NY.  His dad was a Jazz musician and educator and it came to David naturally as he got older and inevitably he got into electronics and tinkering with guitars and guitar pedals. That has manifested into starting his own business.

I had a lot of fun talking to David on the podcast and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

Tune into the 40 Watt Podcast for a grounded, gear-focused conversation about the sounds that shape our world. This isn't just a rundown of news and new releases; it's a deep dive into the tools and techniques that actually create the music. We get into the specifics-the hum of a particular tube amp, the history behind a classic guitar model, the subtle magic of a well-placed effects pedal-and trace how these elements ripple out to influence both contemporary artists and the legendary recordings of the past. Through candid interviews with people who live and breathe music, alongside our own straightforward commentary, each episode connects the technical dots in a way that’s accessible to both players and passionate fans. The 40 Watt Podcast serves as a workshop and a listening room, exploring not only what we hear but how it came to be, making the craft behind the art form the central story. You'll come away with a richer appreciation for the decisions made in the studio and on the stage, hearing your favorite tracks with a new, more informed ear.
