Sound check with Josh Alley of Epigaze Audio

There are a few key elements we are trying to represent with the brands we carry via Coast Sonic; passion and hand made quality are the two most prominent. Epigaze Audio is a fairly new brand to the pedal building world but their offerings check off both of those boxes perfectly. With the just released Custom Shop Singularity Fuzz currently  turning heads we sought out Epigaze's Josh Alley to dig in a little deeper to where things started, what drives the brand and what we can expect in the future.

Coast Sonic: Thanks for taking the time to talk with us Josh, can we start with your telling us about how you first discovered the guitar?

Josh Alley: When I was 12 I really started to take more notice of music, and stated to obsess over everything I listened to. After finding some old LP’s in the garage over the summers I was big into Kiss, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, and Black Sabbath. I didn’t exactly want to play guitar until I watched Motley Crue’s Uncensored VHS. One of the first videos to play was Live Wire and I was just in awe of the whole thing. Mick had this killer sound and I was glued to the TV. I wasn’t the same after that.
