Summary

Its another "Handmade Edition" of LET THERE BE TALK.

My guest is the Tone Genius himself Mr Fil Olivieri owner of the incredible Guitar Amp and Pedal company called Solodallas.

Years ago Fil set out to find out how Angus Young of AC/DC got his incredible guitar tone on the Back in Black Album and what Fil found out will surprise you.

We run down the rabbit hole of Tone and our love of AC/DC on this episode and even if you don't love guitar or AC/DC which I find hard to believe you will love this conversation.

Fil is an incredible human and has a huge passion for Rock n Roll and i think you guys will love him after you hear us talk about all things Rock.
