“Now, hear this!”

Hi Strands fans. Another pretty straightforward puzzle, this. When I saw the word TREBLE spelt along the bottom of the board and VOLUME above it, I knew it was going to be about sound in some capacity.
With that in mind, I found the word "sound" at the top of the board, and then extended it into the spangram of SOUNDCHECK. That neatly isolated REVERB in the top-right corner for my third answer.
Three words were still outstanding. I found BASS just above the spangram at the bottom, followed by FEEDBACK in the top-left corner. That meant I just needed to connect MIDRANGE between the two to complete the puzzle.

“Unusual companions”

Hi Strands fans. At first this puzzle seemed very confusing, but then I spotted the two 'X's on the board and focused on them.
The one in the top right finally clued me in, when I realized I could spell AXOLOTL (though, admittedly, it took me a few goes to get the letters in the right order).
That revealed what the other 'X' was, and I duly spelt out the spangram of EXOTICPET backwards from the bottom of the board to the top.
Now it was just a case of listing off unusual pets. I found PARROT in the bottom-right corner, which just left PYTHON to complete the right-hand side.
On the left, I found CHINCHILLA in the top corner, followed by GECKO below it. That meant I just had to connect SKUNK in the bottom-left corner to complete the puzzle.
