Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Bad Gear, you know, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Is this relentless roast of Bad Gear, the AudioPilz YouTube channel, its meme laden comedic music tech content and the accent of its weird talking host Florian the long overdue revenge for years of synth, drum machine and groovebox trolling? Is every music tech YouTuber, synthfluencer and music production social media person in there? Is it ticking all the boxes?

Big thanks to all the people involved:
