Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard talks too much and this has been officially published to the interwebs so we immediately turn to making Brian feel all warm and fuzzy via entirely legal means and debating whether or not we are indeed the wisened Grandpappys of the Podcast world. Josh Scott did some analysis on Sweetwater's pedal sales and their best selling pedal may take you by surprise so the guys talk about this also and this turns into a brief investigation into the origins of said pedal.

Brian then takes Richard through some basic electronics schooling and he learns him good....Warning - you may also learn about pedals in this episode. Richard also uncannily predicts the latest Walrus fuzz pedal a week before he knew about it and fungibles weren't even involved.

Would you watch a hologramatic representation of a band?  Richard poses the question on the back of his better half seeing the new Abba tribute show and the subject is expanded and depated somewhat. Well that is until Brian announces that he desires a working light saber and Blake offers some very good advice about emails. Richard has observations about portable rigs for music, and Brian's night time dancing habits are examined in detail..and then it gets even sillier as the guys discuss what their X-Wing call signs should be.  Oh boy, I did warn you!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake is not in the Shred Shed today because he is saving the planet and Richard refuses to rap on microphone and instead speaks briefly about the rather monumental events in his own country. Meanwhile, Brian finds a way to turn this to George Lynch, and Blake brings up a related fact about Adrian Thorpe of the mighty Thorpy FX that you may or may not know.

EHX have taken the concept of a pedal with a plugin to the next level with their new hybrid Big Muff pedal which promises a kind of seamless transition between hardware and software output - so the guys poke around this with the abandon of a bored schoolchild. Richard has a genius idea to build something thats already been invented and Brian improves it before destroying everyone's hopes and dreams once again.

Brian gets forced onto facebook for a nanosecond and you can actually witness the moment his brain melts in real time while Richard and Blake discuss typographical legends and the legendary fonts of doom. Is rock music making a comeback? There are some signs that it may be and the guys talk about that before Brian teaches us some of his amazing zen-like tactics for casino success.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard has "Borrowed" a vintage 1963 Fender Stratocaster and he tells us about it - there are some surprising differences with modern Strats that he has uncovered so the guys chat about vintage guitars and that special magic they can exude.  This also leads on to a fascinating and enlightening discussion about switch positions and Brian refuses to listen to Richard's utterly flawed logical fallacies so gets hard evidence to finally prove Richard is indeed a massive fool.

Brian wants a giant tractor and a private plane and a plot is hatched to make this happen...maybe...ok it got silly real quick.  There was a massive tribute concert to Taylor Hawkins and the guys chat about it - it was emotional, and there were guitars involved. There was also a very special performance from Wolfgang Van Halen and it pleased the guys greatly.

Brian has serpentine problems in the shape of a water snake and the guys ponder over potential solutions to this problem which is consuming the fishery livestock of Martinsville. Richard is concerned about the barbarism in Brian's approach to despatching his unwanted guest so explores alternatives.  Meanwhile, Blake introduces us to the king of the methedestrians while Brian admits that he has the brain of a small tree dwelling rodent...

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Welcome to the all new lag-free world of Blake! Richard is asking for donations for the purchase of a certain guitarist's sea front house and Brian is quick to give him sound financial advice.  This leads on to the mention of a certain pedal company that had some leaked news come out and the guys decide to chew it over...yes we are talking about Fulltone

Starting with some historical context, and Brian's bizarre requests for wearing costumes, the guys take a look at where the industry began, in the context of this particular company, and some of the early companies that shaped it - if only there was some form of documentary that could assist. Wild speculation and historical inaccuracies may ensue - you have been warned.

After a small Jazz interlude Blake breaks down some of his favorite pedals from Fulltone and Brian shares some of his insights too before we look at the insane price gouging on the interwebs. Josh Scott released a video asking the question "Is Boutique Dead?" on the back of the Fulltone news and the guys also look into this and also what it really means to be "Made in America".

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake believes the Universe is conspiring against him because he dared to have a good time and he tells us all about the awesome Pedal hangout he went to and the various foods he sampled on the way.  He returned to find all was not well in the shred shed and this then leads into a conversation about quirky British words.

Is Brian becoming more puritanical in his old age? We ponder this deep and meaningful philosophical question with all the scrutiny of a bored teenager and move swiftly on to BMX and Electric Scooter talk. At some point we may talk about guitar stuff again.  But first - Banger Racing!

Brian also confesses to his Guitar based Dungeons and Dragons childhood tomfoolery and Richard wonders if he has been writing hit Netflix shows. He's also noticed a bit of a price hike on certain Fender guitars and puzzles over what this means for the guitar industry.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake has mahoosive internet lag so the guys are beset by a whole new level of latency -  apologies for the 40,000ms of delay you may experience from the Oregon connection.  Richard reveals that he is inexperienced in another area of American culture and Brian sighs himself to death whilst the guys attempt to discuss the new JHS Solo boost.

Richard spotted the new fender Kingfish artist model and it causes quite a reaction from the crew and Brian invents the first smellable paint finish for guitar pedals. This causes some in-fighting and Brian brings out the spray multiple times to keep the filthy language down to a minimum while Richard ponders if he is once again in a simulation.

There was some controversy about a Kickstarter funded modular guitar and without any expertise or knowledge of the situation the guys weigh in with unqualified and unsubstantiated nonsense.  There are puns, there are bad bits, there are funny bits. No apologies are given. Then Brian tells us about his battle against Mother Nature and it is a story you will not want to miss.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake introduces us to the Wyland car bomb, something that may or may not be illegal in 14 states, and instructs us on the special methods he employs when it is in play. Richard has fallen in love with Jazzmasters and Blake tells him I told you so in a much nicer way than if the tables were turned.  This eventually turns into a conversation about Squier's 40th Anniversary range via ridiculous torque wrench pressure measurements.

Richard then tries terribly to retell the story of "Trigger's Broom" as an analogy but gets nowhere fast whist accusing Blake of reading classical greek literature and Brian purges his cache live on air. There's been some industry news from Fender with a  number of layoffs changes and the guys discuss this and the ramifications for the industry and the consumer.

There have been some interesting new stats around the consumption of "New Music" versus "Old Music"  and the guys dig into the implied consequences not just for music but also culture in general.  This then expands on to predictions for the future of music and possible use of AI. Brian also makes a little apology before repeating himself.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Wampler Pedals have announced the new Moxie overdrive pedal and it makes sounds! Lots of different sounds! Well, according to Blake anyhow. Brian explains the topology of the circuit to a somnambular Blake and an ever sarcastic Richard. Did anyone mention John Mayer?  Brian then goes into the modifications in detail before Blake brings the conversation to food  again and Richard talks a bit about origins of the name and the graphics for the pedal.

Richard signed up for the Dall E Ai image generator and he is mightily impressed and tells us of his early exploits creating foolish imagery of limited use. Brian has finally decided to go Wireless so tells us all about it. He's also been playing around with his Captor X a fair bit too, he has a lot of views, and has found some sounds that thrill him greatly so he flexes his EQ perfecting abilities.

There are a few shocks as the guys analyse some data about the top touring artists in the world - mainly that Richard hasn't heard of half of them.  Brian has a story about a guitar center in Sarasota. Blake has a strategy to help.  Richard wants a hurdy gurdy.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

It seems that a certain British gentleman made a rather unfortunate mistake in the misty haze of the morning after, and he explains his calamitous schoolboy error in a single improvised monologue of utter idiocy. He will never live this down - well not while Brian and Blake draw breath at least. Richard makes up for this slightly by telling us about his Birthday where he decided to go roadtesting a few incredibly expensive guitars at Andertons.

Brian confesses that he is pickup stupid and then lets us in to a BIG secret about a guitar he may or may not have on order. Richard has finally bought a guitar, and yes it is that one, it is also one that Brian is disgusted by, and Blake insults his new purchase - or does he? Brian is also thinking about going wireless and talks a bit about his gigging setup and then of course the talk morphs into a bacon based discussion. 

Blake's been playing with a new Tube Screamer and he likes it. Yes you read that right, a Tube Screamer that Blake likes. Brian is curious about the unique features of the circuitry and so Blake breaks this down in great detail and Brian goes into a deep dive on tubescreamer circuits...and then we look at the Mike McCready exploding guitar video that one or two of you may have seen...

Brian, Richard, and Blake are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian has finally blown his top after a multitude of issues with software and so we have leapt from platform to platform like a team of skilled adventurers in an 80's arcade game. There is also BIG news from the Wampler Family and Brian breaks it down for you and you alone dear listener!

Blake was barely alive in the conventional sense of the word as we recorded this show but he is definitely on the mend as he explains about how he didn't go to a carpentry festival. Meanwhile Richard accidentally stumbles into more cuss word territory with his quaint cultural differences and frankly disturbing and bizarre language. 

There is a controversial rock band reunion planned, you may have read about it on the internet on one or two pages,  and the guys definitely have views before inventing a brand new energy liquid based product...oh boy it gets silly...all whilst Richard melts as England swelters in record heat.

Brian, Richard, and Blake are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian attempts to pay Richard a compliment but falls flat and then breaks out some devastating goat related news before the talk is returned to happier farm based topics such as pork rinds.  We are then treated to a blast of Black Sabbath 'a capella'  before Brian invents a new drinking game based around his love of prog rock.

Richard has finally pulled the trigger on a guitar that will definitely divide opinions and tells the guys about it.  Blake has bought a special bass. Brian gets aroused by a Les Paul and ignores the gorgeous Cabronita telecaster that the guys try to entice him with whilst expanding on his theories for the widdly widdlies.

Brian has a fantastic tip for keeping your pedals clean and Richard has been learning more about cabs and resistance versus amplifiers. Blake, however, has been prodding around the dark web and he is scared of what he found so the topic returns to pork based products and all is well as the guys come up with the greatest Indiana Jones sequel ever.

Brian, Richard, and Blake are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

The guys are a little bit stressed, as they recorded this show, and then realised that thanks to changes in the software they use to record this, they had lost all of Blake's contribution, and so immediately had to re-record. So it's fair to say that their energy is a little weird and this show is offered with a warning to all listeners - it is of variable quality and anger levels. Welcome to the world of Buffoons!

Does expensive gear make you a better player? Richard has found something that made him challenge his conceptions before he was bought back round to normality by folk on the internet and Brian has to calm him down and explain how the internet works and Richard gets his Bruce Willis films completely mixed up. I warned you once, I will warn you again, this is a weird and hideous episode.

Guitar Kiosks! What! Yes its a thing and Brian has the low down on this new phenomenon but the guys remain sceptical about it. Richard then gets double schooled when he is forced to admit Metallica is bigger than his beloved Iron Maiden. If you listen close enough, the exact moment where he realises he is a complete idiot has been recorded for posterity. The guys then talk a bit about music sales in the last 100 years. Look, I can't warn you again, this is a terrible episode.

Brian, Richard, and Blake are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake has been a travellin' and has tales of wonder and merriment for us all to enjoy, but first, wrestling talk! Yeaahhhh! Brian on the other hand has been ruminating over his musical discipline and has come up with a new plan to boost his creativity. Richard has a vision for a new law firm and it definitely sounds like a watertight plan.

Richard has been experimenting with the new Metaverse plugins in his DAW and has discovered that they are seriously handy, especially with other genres of music that he didn't expect.  He's also been swapping speakers to create the ultimate 8" mini cab and Brian thinks he has been a bit too cautious and maybe over-engineered the solution...If only he had someone who knew anything about audio electronics to hand to guide his foolish ways.

Blake has played through a large stack of amplifiers - or has he? The internet doesn't believe him, so and he and Brian are ready to show them the error of their assumptions before Blake experiences an extreme and confusing level of lag. Brian also admits to liking MIDI and this almost opens up a tear in the fabric of space and time.

Brian, Richard, and Travis are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Wait, what, Travis? Again? What the deuce? All shall be revealed in this episode with big BIG news from the gear world, while Portland Blake is away at the Sweetwater Gearfest hanging with all the cool kids and eating pedal shaped pizzas.

Wampler Pedals are super proud to have released the new Metaverse multi-delay pedal and the guys address some issues that they know are gonna come up before breaking down what the pedal is capable of and why Brian thinks it is a special pedal. We also talk about the origins, everyone falls asleep, Richard tries to explain things badly, and Travis gives us some feedback. 

We've also released a full plugin suite to accompany the pedal and it is available free for anyone that registers a Metaverse. This is so meta we have already sent ourselves a cease and desist order from the future to make sure we litigate against ourselves pre-emptively. Wow - theres a lot of pedal content this week.  And it's all about one of our pedals. I need a lie down.

Travis has the most ridiculous luck with Guitars and this has materialised once more with what can only be called the biggest score since 1966. He already has a 64 strat, now he has extra bits, he deserves them though! Richard is making a silly little mini amp rig so tells us all about that and the guys talk about speaker choices.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard finally caught the Covid, he obviously doesn't have enough MetalZones in his arm, and he has lost his taste completely...and thats why he now likes Bro Country...but apologies in advance for everything he says as some of his brain cells appear to have deteriorated. Brian's made a new Tik Tok and he is mightily upset that a certain someone hasn't watched it yet.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you may have seen that Kate Bush has climbed the charts  in various countries as a result of Stranger Things and Richard tests Brian's Kate Bush knowledge and unsurprisingly, it is lacking. There is Gilmour content...and Dokken rebuttals - you know the drill...and the discussion finally turns to gatekeeping, music, and internet folk.

Were you recently Rick Rolled by Blake? If so you may be entitled to compensation. Call 1-555-BLAKEROLL to claim your free piece of Oregon cheese as compensation. Please note cheese may have been partially eaten by the time you claim and no promise to deliver cheese is made. Have you got a guitar made out of food? Why not! The guys find a luthier that specialises in it and discuss this.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

What's kinda green and covered in lights? It's not a Christmas tree that's for sure. Brian has new toys and he has been analysing them in the manner that only Brian can and gives us his unadulterated views. Richard has learned a bit about early effects and is keen to share his findings like an over eager but slightly warped and demented puppy dog.

NAMM has happened and there have been so many gear releases that the guys struggle to talk about them all - but by golly they try - despite floppiness of aspiration. The dynamic this year was different so there is some earnest analysis of whether or not NAMM needs a rethink and Brian has an idea. Uh oh. Richard has had the saddest burger he ever ate and it made him very upset. Also, there are some rumors about a certain PRS guitar that Brian is very interested in...

Both Blake and Richard have been to see some live music and try to  tell us their tales but get waylaid multiple times on the way.  But eventually we get there, and Richard talks about his renewed love for Queen having seen them live in London and it's fair to say he was blown away, and as a result, he has bought some new gear...

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian tells us how he wants to kill more trees but before he does he's gonna buy a cheap knock off James Burton telecaster while Richard contemplate's opening up his own version of Ali Express.  Elsewhere in the world of gear there has been the settling of an infamous law suit and the guys break this down into great and meticulous detail before figuring out they are all just as clueless as previously before Richard suggests a carpentry based solution.

Blackstar have released a new range of amplifiers with amazing lightweight designs and Richard is very confused about the type of wood it is made from. He also finds the electronics intriguing and Brian has to dig deep. Blake has been using some percussion techniques with an empty pedal box and tells us all about it whilst also doing the most disturbing impression we have ever featured on this show. You have been warned. 

NAMM is happening! The guys talk about some of the changes they have noticed with the email marketing and wonder whether it has anything to do with the numbers of attendees. Blake has views! Richard has hook and loop nightmares. Brian has a standby mode?

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake has been hanging out in Nashville and got to go visit the Gibson Garage with none other than Mark Agnesi himself - all thanks to a very generous hook up from one of the internet's fluffiest trolls - and he played a very valuable guitar. He also schools the double entendre dispatching Richard in some basic guitar construction history and gives us a bit of a look behind the scenes with some antiquities from Gibson's past.

Richard took his daughter to see My Chemical Romance and while he was not cool enough to watch the band, he did indulge in some fine Punjabi cuisine and it made him very very happy. He also asks the time honored question of which is harder to play - the drums or the guitar?  Brian and Blake have views and they share their experience.

 Brian then drops the earth shattering news that he has gone to the Dark Side and is looking into some modelling options. Digital modelling, not fashion modelling I hasten to add. He's ordered a new toy and he has plans - is the world coming to an end? Is this the Bri-pocalypse? Or is this just the Mandela effect in action? There is only one way to find out...

Brian and Richard are joined this week by the Guitar Geek himself, Andy Ferris, for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

We welcome our good friend Andy Ferris this week as Blake has gone to move some heavy machinery in Nashville and so we find out about the Guitar Stories podcast which intriguingly, is about, stories related to the guitar. Meris have released a super cool looking pedal and the guys debate it - wait - thats almost on topic. There has also been a major announcement from Chase Bliss that the guys chew over and Andy gives us an interesting viewpoint or three. 

Richard had an amazing experience at the recent Saucerful of Secrets gig where he got to meet one of his lifelong heroes, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, and some other fine folk and he is suitably dumbstruck and impressed with the musicianship, the show, and the aftershow party. Andy is now in a band too and he tells us all about the adventures of Black Velvet Creme whilst Richard fantasises about becoming the new Peter Grant whilst the guys also celebrate the English entry to the Eurovision song contest.

Brian asks Andy about his view on the guitar pedal industry and gets his take on the changes since the pandemic and some of the opportunities it opened up. This weeks Patreon also features Andy and a much more personal and in depth chat which we think you will really enjoy

Campervan portapotties, Lovely Life Inc., The new king of dad jokes, Spinal Tap Pt. II, 3D Printed pedals ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian's been to a Country (and Western) gig and it has inspired bizarre vocal transformations and we apologize in advance as this goes immediately off the rails. There is some schooling, there is some fooling, but mainly there is some fooling. Brian the reveals a little bit of insight into his connection with one of Garth Brooks' amazing guitarists, Chris Leuzinger, and Richard is taught a little bit more about the finer points of Country and Western styling.

Should you ever meet your heroes? Richard asks the question and the guys chat about it before discussing the Grand Ole Opry and Wampler's own Elmo making his mark there.  Richard's also received his new Keeley Moon Op-Amp Fuzz and he is over the, er, moon with the results and waxes lyrical so the guys chat a little bit about Keeley pedals they love. He's also been buying Honey Picks and is a big fan so gives us his views on why they work for him and how they improve his playing.

There was a post on a popular internet forum that caused a little furore in the previous week which the guys feel duty-bound to discuss as it hit 40 pages before finally spiralling into oblivion...there is some cleaning up of myths in this bit too which may or may not be slightly ranty...and speaking of rants, its time for the next instalment of Brian's Camper experience...

Grape soda, Brian's top hat, Crazy Glue, Pedal dollars, Fruity dreams, the JHS mafia, Dangerous slicey stuff..it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian digs a hole immediately because the whole team is lacking in sleep and this derails into animal based nonsense early doors.  Richard recommended the movie "Metal Lords" to Brian and he kinda liked it. Blake is not convinced so the guys discuss why he needs to re-evaluate his life choices.

Brian's been rehearsing with his band and he is loving it but there is definitely an odorous side factor he hadn't bargained for.  He tells us a bit more about his love for G and B-Bender equipped guitars and we have an acoustic player recommendation from Blake.  Richard has been playing with the new Neural DSP Tone King and Soldano SLO-100 plugins in ProTools and he has a question about how to minimise plugin processor utilisation when recording multiple tracks of guitar.

Blake's made his first Impulse Response - based off a throwaway comment from Brian - and it is better than he anticipated so we congratulate his mastery of science as he embraces his new IR driven life. Guitar Center have a new logo and Richard has managed to forget about it for a week or so but is excited to weigh in with his semi-qualified views.

Quaggas, Fence jumping, Specialist peanut butter content, Scarypoolparty, Mr. Monoamp, Man the Helm, He has the hat, You cant spell Wampler without Ample ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake tears the roof of the sucker as we slide into another week's episode of rambling non-sequiturs and amusing musings whilst Brian dreams about wooden construction and Richard falls off a ladder.  What sort of guitar picks do you swear by? Blake has ordered some fancy laser-cut picks from our good friend Rick over at Honey Picks and tells us why we all need one now but disclaims that he is never 100% accurate...Richard almost manages to keep it clean.

The Mandela effect confuses everyone once more before Richard reigns it in and then lets it loose again when he talks about his domestic appliance saga and how he tried to leverage social media to fix his woes.  Elon Musk has been eying up a well known social media platform and the guys weigh in with their entirely uninformed and random views and Brian throws more shade.

The Plexi Drive Mini has been out for a while but the guys are still in love with it and talk about why - which leads into a conversation about what makes a pedal react well to a guitar's volume control. Brian refuses to let us into all of his secrets but he does like simians, Robert Keeley was awesome to Richard, and Blake has Coachella related news.

The breakfast buffet, Cat 5 cabling woes, Hybrid picking for the widdlies, Wampler trucker hat awesomness, Monkey butlers, Boobeedoobeebobdoobedoop...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Welcome to the world's premier dot matrix and laser printer related podcast, this week we tackle important subjects like how to shake a toner safely, how to spool 300 feet of paper into an Epson Dot matrix, and Thermal Printers - here to stay or just a fad ? Sorry, my bad, normal service will resume.

Richard's been learning some 80s power balladry and the guys chat about it and discover a disturbing cover version and then going off into the weeds immediately and start talking about Tony Hawk and Skateboarding (again) and Richard reveals the inspiration for the Tumnus graphic. Whats the longest you have ever waited for a new Guitar? Blake has been waiting for about a decade (maybe) for his special Epiphone and the guys also take a look at the new signature Joe B amp. Brian's been countrifying more music and he tells us a bit about his methodology whilst simultaneously impersonating Kermit the frog.

How many distortions does a person need? Brian has been posing this question so the guys ruminate and conclude it's at least seven. No eight.  Plus one.  And another one maybe. What about stereo distortion - and stereo rigs in general - Brian has views and Blake has some fancy new plugins he is raving about so the guys talk about recording techniques and plugins and all that goodness.

Cowboy talk,  Whitesnake, Police Academy, The Stupid Faces, 1975 Gibson Les Pauls, Component Doohickery...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard is giddy with excitement like only an Englishman can't be at the new Pink Floyd release, Brian does his best to ignore everything he says about it, and Blake analyses the Machine Gun Kelly memes. Phews - its all go. Richard also demonstrates an embarrassing lack of knowledge about American sports people and Blake schools him before disappearing mysteriously into the ether. 

Some of the greatest players of the guitar have one thing in common and the guys chat about it and share some common views on the subject. Blake then explains why he's not a fan of a particular pedal and Brian is astounded and befuddled. Richard saw the new Tony Hawk documentary and tells Brian about what he saw as they both reminisce about the days they were young and hip enough to skate.

Do you believe everything you read on Wikipedia? We found some subtle edits to the Wampler Pedals Wikipedia page which we had to change and it shows just how the gargantuan infobeast operates. Brian believes this to be episode 420, which is erroneous, and neither is it episode 404 as Richard miscalculates (closer though), but it is coming out on 4/20 day so let's hope that confuses absolutely nobody. MAIDEN! Richard is impressed with Ed Sheeran for once, and tells us why. 

There are a couple of swears so be warned...its very mild and infrequent

Brian, Blake, and Richard welcome Ryan Burke from the 60 Cycle Hum podcast for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

The newly shorn Ryan  joins us as we consider the important issues of the day, like Austin Powers and black pudding, whilst Brian cast forth a multitude of scurrilous rumours. Richard and Blake have fallen in love with the new Marshall special edition Mini and this leads to a number of revelations about why Brian walks funny.

Is a tractor a truck? What about a lawn mower? Is that a tractor or a truck? These questions need to be answered and the guys debate this with zero research or preparation. Ryan and Richard talk a little bit about the graphic design elements of classic guitar logos and Brian dreams about designing everything in MS Paint.

Naming pedals is so hard sometimes so Ryan helps the guys out whilst Blake worries that he has contracted a rare medical condition.  This leads into a concentric circle of non sequiturs, medical speculation, and random conversations that are not even vaguely sensible.  You are not gonna want to miss this episode...

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Mondays are a little rough sometimes...and there was controversy at the Oscars that the guys feel compelled to discuss, including the impact on society and the impact on social media follower numbers such incidents have.  Brian then dreams about cantaloupes and the guys talk about rebuilding from scratch in the light of some incredibly sad news in the music world. 

Richard introduces the guys to a new word - Stonking - and Brian refuses to believe it is not a rude word. Irrefutable proof is found in a strange place that involves David Gilmour and Mr Bean. Brian then tackles some good natured criticism he faced from the internet about our discussion on solid state tube replacements and opens up the discussion once more.

Classic BOSS Multi Effects pedals - some people love them some people hate them. Richard and Brian chat about which ones they have owned and how they helped them both discover the tones they wanted to get into. Blake has been dialling in some lovely gain sounds and Richard drops a hint. 

Lightsabers at dawn, Genesis, Tortoise based japery, The global gain pedal shortage, Brian's special dances, Dr. Something, Chair regrets...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian rewrites Tolkien with an all new character and it is established early on that Brian has some weirdness within him as the guys talk about his new hobby of turning songs into country versions. Blake has been talking to the fine folk over at Chibson and tells us a little bit about the mighty meme wizardry that they produce. Richard is impressed with Mark Tremonti and discusses why the world needs more nice people right now before Brian drops one or two names and then an Eagles based pun fest ensues.

Do you like to learn guitar solos note for note? It's not easy to memorize every solo and a lot of players choose not to but Richard makes a point about why sometimes it can be a good idea for pleasing an audience that may not care about your shred speed. Brian is listening to Taylor Childers and his faith in country music is being restored and the guys touch on this before the guys talk about early Rap and Hip-Hop via Brian's hideous vocal stylings.

The shortage of vacuum tubes is dominating guitar threads all over the interwebz so the guys discuss the false article about about Joe B manufacturing tubes and the market for tubes for guitarists and high end audiophiles alike.  Line 6 have re-released the classic DL4 delay in a new package and Brian is excited! The price at the time of recording was given as $420 but that was inaccurate however amusing.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake's had an odd week and is fatigued but the guys have zero sympathy as they are more worried about the news regarding vacuum tube availability. EHX came out with a statement and the guys chat about their perspective on this before Brian reveals an amazing solid state replacement for tubes as Richard brings up the subject of high end solid state amps. This in turn sends Brian off onto a schematic treasure hunt...

Brian gets excited about the prospect of a Scotch egg and Richard tries to convince him that Special Brew is something he wants to try. The guys then discuss a solar powered guitar pedal before discussing the effects of the power crisis on the production of certain herbal substances.

Blake has been wearing an Anti-negativity helmet as he has been privileged to demo the new Aquabats pedal and Richard wants one. The guys then talk about plugins and DAWs a bit more and Blake has a secret. Richard went to his first gig since lock down and got to see friend of the show Paul Cuddeford doing his thang and it was good!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by special guest Katie Zaccardi for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

We wanted to give all our listeners a little gift for our 400th show so we asked the hugely knowledgeable and inspirational Katie Zaccardi to join us and tell us a little bit about herself, about her career, and give us some insight into marketing a music act in the age of Web 3.0 (ugh), social media, and viral videos. Once again, Brian will indulge in some TikTalkery. But not an inappropriate amount. 

Katie tells us about her career and her journey to date and how she found her niche after spending some time in the world of app development and yoga (no goat yoga yet though...). Initially focusing on helping women in music, Katie has words that will resonate with everyone who has ever thought about taking their music to the next level, and you are not going to want to miss this episode.

Has the landscape changed for an artist these days, and what about the mechanisms with which an artist makes money? Sure they have, and if we don't adapt, we may get left behind -  yesterday is a lonely city! Is art content or is content art. Brian ponders this question in real time and you can practically hear the diodes inside his robot brain light up. 

Social media hatred, Flossing, Karen central, Myspace, Richard's guitar playing dog...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake is having issues with his computer peripherals so has jumped onto the TikTok train temporarily and so the guys open up the conversation with more algorithm analysis and other random TikTalkery, This then develops into a conversation about Blake's new camera and cameras in general before the guys figure out this is a guitar podcast. Well, kinda.

Our buddy Josh at JHS has launched a new pedal and he sent one to Brian and Brian is very happy about this so the guys dig in and Blake educates Brian about how to get the best out of it. This leads the guys into a chat about gain pedals and stacking and Richard tells us about how he likes to save something back before Brian admits to having a crush on Ryan Burke's beard.

Brian has bought himself a new amp, a BOSS Katana head, which he thought he bought before but was mistaken.  He gives his views and expertise on it so far but hasn't quite figured exactly what he feels about it yet. Richard chimes in with some of the extended features he should check out and waxes lyrical about the software functionality.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

BOSS have released a new version of the Space Echo in a compact pedal form and the guys get a bit excited, Brian makes some wild boasts, and Blake gets very excited until...well until Richard pops his balloon by talking about the nefarious gouging of the Slice of Pie pedal.  It all gets silly and Richard suggests a ritual to cleanse the situation.

How do you power your pedals? The guys talk about a stalwart of wall warts, the Truetone 1-Spot and Brian admits to the occasional daisy-chain violation. The conversation turns to the world of power supplies and Brian and Blake grace us with some amazing audio impersonations that you definitely won't want to miss. Sorry. Will want to miss. Yeah thats it.

David Crosby has being saying stuff about Spotify and Blake is not happy about it and tells us why and the guys chat about it at length. Richard has been watching big aeroplanes trying to land with massive wind...sorry in massive winds...and Brian tells us about the Wampler Family Flying Circus before then detailing his near death experience in the air.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian's been hanging out with Cory Wong and tells us a bit about it,  the hip and happening part of Indianapolis that he got to visit, and why he loves sound checks more than actual concerts. Meanwhile in merry olde England, Richard tried to watch the Superbowl and is less informed about the rules of football than he was before, but he did enjoy the half time show.  Of course we discuss the Silver Silver Sky too, and get treated to Brian and Blake rapping in unison. Treated, yes, thats the word I meant to use.

Richard's been playing around with Protools again and he got Antares Autotune and is blown away by how powerful that plugin is. Brian has some plugin related views and the guys chat a little bit about production with a DAW before Richard challenges a seemingly innocent word and then they go off into the sea weeds.

Blake's pizza themed pedal, the Big Ear Slice of Pie, has finally been officially released, and he talks a bit about it. It's a work of art and indeed a veritable  labor of love as it took quite a long time to get all the details correct despite not being able to mist the box with pizza aromas. Mmm...Cheesy. Brian then explains how gravity works - you wont want to miss this...

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Firstly, an apology. We tried something on this episode and it didn't work. Consequently the people who are responsible for this atrocity have been fired. And the people responsible for hiring and subsequently firing them have also been fired as a precaution.  We apologise most profusely and it wont happen again.  
 
Richard has a few minor but controversial rants after not feeling the love on various internet forums and Brian finds this most amusing as he taunts Richard from the security of his fortress of polystyrene. This serves us right for recording on a Monday. Never again. Have you ever taken an inordinate amount of time to learn a piece on the guitar? Richard mentions the Failure to Fracture blog and then dives off in a completely different direction before we discover that Blake has been unwell and not just in the brain.

Brian is obsessed with making every band sound like Nickleback and he tells us why. Well kinda.  Its all about riding the Tik Tok train and not engaging in the meme wars! But if you are getting into a war, you are going to want the Martinsville Terror, aka Billy Bob Wampler on your side.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined this week by Phillip Carter, the host of the 40 Watt Podcast, for an all-new episode of Chasing Tone!

If you haven't yet heard the 40 Watt Podcast you really should - Phillip is an awesome musician and a great interviewer and his shows are well worth checking out. He joins us this week and almost certainly regrets it immediately. Richard attempts really hard to stop his fellow hosts talking about NAMM because he feels left out and, well, he fails.  So we chat a lot about the NAMM show, guitar shows in general, leather quantification, and Richard gets a well needed 40 winks.

TikTok is Brian's new hobby. He spends upwards of 21 hours a day dancing in front of a mirror wearing different costumes and he discusses this at length and in great detail with our guest. Phillip has being duetting with Brian, and Richard wonders if it is like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell...or should that be Tammy Wynette ? We then discover some frankly disturbing facts about Brian's mind and his crazy obsessions - and mathematics and NFTs are indeed involved.

Have you ever bought a Fender guitar pedal? What did you think ? They have released the new Hammertone pedals and the guys debate  them despite not having had any to play with. Come on Fender, send us some to play, and while you are at it, a few Acoustasonic Jazzmasters wouldn't go amiss. Richard points out that these pedals look very similar to some design work he has seen but can't quite place it...or can he?

Then there is pizza, fuzzy, warm, gorgeous pizza pie. Well its a new fuzz pedal from the mind of Blake and the chaps over at Big Ear pedals which got released today. It's sort of an exclusive. Sort of. We're really excited for Blake and the future of Pizza shaped fuzz pedals.

I'll get you Blakey, Library conferences, Brian's middle finger, The dot com crash, Hobbits, Deepfakes ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

This week we have big (ish) news for our Patreon members with an all new level for those who want more than just our undying love. You will get the undying love too, but also some extra special stuff!

The legal eagles at Gibson have allegedly been filing trademarks over historical body shapes and the guys speculate about what it's about. Richard is characteristically sceptical but becomes pacified when he thinks about simian beings. Brian has some interesting trademark related views so weighs in with his experience before deciding to rename an op amp chip. Blake is coming to Nashville! There will be pizza, oh yes, there will be lots of pizza.

Richard demonstrates a shocking lack of knowledge relating to the wild west and Brian and Blake are shocked, horrified, and feel the need to educate him...and the timing could not be better as he has just been sent a cowboy hat by his cousin in America which leads the guys to a new invention...and then Blake fesses up to some disturbing trucker related history.

Can you microwave tea? Maybe, Richard is not sure he hates the idea as much as Blake thinks he will, and Brian remains confused. A certain guitar player that divides opinion greatly has been talking about YouTube hypnotising its audience. The guys tread sensitively around the subject and conclude that he should just play guitar and not spout nonsense.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Welcome to the Number 1 rated guitar podcast in Martinsville, Indiana! Blake comes in hard with some Dad related subject matter, which takes Richard by surprise, before letting us know about his new musical project as Richard laments his mouldy case related woes. Meanwhile Brian commented on a technical thread over on Facebook before his morning coffee but thankfully nobody was hurt by his crazy suggestions.

Brian has discovered that he can fly to outer space in his flight sim and this makes the inner child in him - which is about 99% of his brain - very happy. There has been some big pedal news this week but Blake is not yet convinced and tells us why. There has also been some business related news and Richard approves so much he goes off on a bit of a rant...

Richard paid a trip to one of the UK's finest Guitar shops and has ended up GASsing really badly for something that looks very wrong, but feel very right. He admits to having problems with testing guitars in a shop environment and offers up a solution before Blake and Brian attempt to impersonate electric guitars with their mouths.

Guitar case love, The return of the idiot hound, Crypto joy, Pedalboards of doom, Brian's dog form, Switchable effects, Mildly angry NFTs...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake joins us over dial-up as we dive headlong and foot-short into another episode of vaguely guitar based musings and mutterings. Richard hurts Brian's feelings - both of them - before Blake gives us some insight into some workings in the gear market right now - you may have a valuable pedal that you didn't realise was in demand as Blake has.

Speaking of pedals, young master Blake teases us with a brand new pedal release that is coming up before Brian takes us through a TikTok video that tickles him somewhat. This bit is definitely not to be taken seriously. Except Blake's bit. Richard then drags the conversation several layers lower when he talks about a lady with an interesting business model that literally backfired.

Richard has been thinking about getting a 7 string, maybe even a PRS? He and Brian discuss it and Brian's brain melts on air before they move to talking about bass guitars which in turn leads to some simple amplifier related questions.

Brian's secret voiceover work, Blake's weird flex, Bottled methane, Shakira or Calvin Harris, Massive pedal hints, The silver squier, Brian's organ harvesting scam...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are joined by live looping maestro Døvydas for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Our guest has come from relatively humble roots in Lithuania to international fame, via "Lithuania's got talent" and the Eurovision song contest, and his journey both geographically and musically is discussed at length. It's been a funny and interesting journey so far - if you have never seen one of his YouTube videos you should definitely go check one out now - and the guys have a great time chatting about the cultural differences and quirks that have stood out.

We hear about how he started off with borrowed gear,  his earliest influences, Brian tells us about how he first met Døvydas, and Richard mistakes Am for Dm.  We dig into his style, his skills, and how he puts his performance together, and we get some great wisdom that stops Brian in his tracks.  Blake points out that it's not just the Rock and the Roll that Døvydas excels at either before committing a hideous and nefarious audio crime.

Døvydas has been having fun at a guitar store and tells us of the story which pleases everyone, and then explains how being a solo artist can be a real time saver, and why his pursuit of physical fitness is a lifestyle choice.  He also gives as a raft of valuable wisdom. You are not going to want to miss this episode - it's a rollercoaster from start to finish. The medium IS the message.

Red Elvis chickensuits, Pointless awards, Pork Butt and Blues,  Rick rolling, The fresh prince, Steve Vai ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Happy new year to all of our listeners! The guys have been indulging in merriment and chocolate and are feeling the strain - well their waistbands are - and they discuss their gear hauls over the festive period. Brian is still having humidity related issues so Richard suggests a change of location but Brian is not keen.

Brian bought himself a new toy for Christmas and tells us all about it and all about his (non peanut butter flavored) cookies.  Blake and Brian also discuss the worrying supply chain issues in the electronics industry and it isn't happy listening. Hint: Prices are not going to be going down this year in the music gear industry. It seems as if Brian has fallen into the matrix over the holiday season and Richard wants to pull him back out so he can make some more pedals.

Alexa has become dangerous and has proved we are not ready to embrace a fully AI driven life just yet. Bad Alexa. Blake has an amazing Dan Armstrong lucite guitar and the guys love it, it has some interesting technological features plus it weighs less than a baby elephant. Ooh. shiny things. I cant believe we didn't make the Transparent tone gag. The guys also got some amazing gifts from some of our listeners and are bowled over by the generosity so discuss what they got...

Important note: several stupid and dangerous things get discussed. Do not listen to anything from these idiots, their brains have been badly affected by the consumption of holiday foodstuffs. Yes foodstuffs, that's it.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

This week we are joined by Paul Cuddeford, a British guitar player who has graced many a record and many a stage, and is currently part of the touring David Bowie alumni supergroup "Holy Holy". He tells us about how he met Jimmy Page, got the playing bug, and how he started out as a musician in LA as a result of a meeting with guitarist Rick Dufray.

He's a self confessed gear-head and has been around a fair few legendary individuals and part of the guitar scene through some interesting times so has a unique take on what it was like to play on the road with some big name acts. Brian also gets the opportunity to use his new-found British vocabulary to simultaneously categorise and criticise Richard and his 90s music tastes.

Paul is a left handed player and Blake has a really interesting question for all 'lefties' everywhere so the guys explore it and Paul gives us his views based on his experience. Paul is also a Wampler artist and the guys talk about the Tumnus and the Pantheon and why he loves them.  The guys then look at Paul's career making music for Film and television and there are some great insights in how to get started.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake predicted the future and the guys look at how this could be turned in to a money making scheme. Brian fancies the life of a crypto billionaire so is all ears and Richard offers forth some infallible logic that essentially underwrites the deal. Note: Under no circumstances should you listen to any investment advice from the Chasing Tone Podcast. Unless it involves Pedalcoin (tm).

There was some controversy on the internet with a review of a budget guitar that provoked some ire from someone claiming to represent the company. Richard points out the nature of reviews and how they work and Blake then adds some color to the conversation with his perspective on the event. 

It was the birthday of an industry legend and the guys look at this and the impact that he has had on the music industry. This then turns into a conversation about AI art and it gets very silly, very quickly. Blake has been playing with synths and the guys chat about awesome soft synths and MIDI controllers. Brian then lets us into a secret about the Chasing Tone theme tune...

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard has no idea about American Sports, especially Wrestling, and he demonstrates this with gusto  whilst Brian has been at a function with John Cena...or has he? The guys then discuss the new Tim pedal - although maybe it isn't new?

The guys look at some of the reaction to the launch of the Pantheon Deluxe - and Brian dissects some of the inevitable comparisons that were made with another pedal - and also the fun mechanics of releasing a pedal  while also keeping a leakproof ship. Hint: It's nearly impossible. Blake has some great insight on the timeliness of information and product releases and Richard waxes lyrical about demo artists. 

Brian tries to convince Richard of the life enhancing properties of chewing tobacco but he isn't convinced but it leads to further disturbing revelations from Brian and Blake. This leads to a potentially even more shocking revelation about Richard's father's reality show career.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

This week we have a new pedal to talk about - it's almost an on topic episode! I need to take a seat...but not drink too much coffee it seems. Richard has seen the new Beatles docuseries "Get Back" and it was an inspirational and magical experience for him and he tells us why. Is it worth 8 hours of your time? Well listen and find out what Brian, Blake, and Richard think about the Beatles, making music in a band,  and do check out the blog on the main Wampler pedals website too!

Wampler have released the new Pantheon Deluxe Dual Overdrive pedal and it is a pedal that brings the guys a lot of pleasure. It is Wampler's first MIDI switchable gain pedal and it has so many great tOaNZ. Brian is naturally modest about his work but Richard waxes lyrical about why the dual Bluesbreaker config is such a great combo and why this may be the ultimate gigging pedal. Then he goes off in a sulk...or does he? Also the Gearbox is finally back in stock - although it is selling quickly but its return pleases everyone.

Dave Mustaine has come out with a Megadeth Cryptocurrency and the guys chat about it. Brian definitely wants to create his own and the Blake talks at length about NFTs and Richard spies a "get rich quick" scheme for himself before leading the other guys astray.

Do you have a limited databank for your musical tastes? Richard has a pondering and Blake and Brian weigh in with their views and some scientific findings.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian has found a new 335 style semi-hollow, and he is dreaming about buying one, but it's not in stock and he is not happy. His search continues, and Richard mentions an off-the-wall brand for him to try but Brian is hanging on to his pedal bucks. So the guys talk about Brian's DIY skills and his levels of desire to build his own guitar line.

Richard's favorite female crooner, Adele, has changed the way we listen to music on Spotify and this sparks some debate. Blake is not a big Spotify user and has some good reasons for this including their streaming royalties. He also made a different dinner for Thanksgiving and tells us all about it whilst Brian looks on in wonderment.

Brian has played a gig and he had a fantastic time and the guys chat about it and rapidly discover Brian may have forgotten one or two significant details...but it is not really an issue as the amount of joy in Brian's voice is palpable and wondrous.  He took his 335 too just to be extra punk and no one buys it. The guys then chat about Country music and Richard shows his complete lack of knowledge despite watching a documentary and getting Kenny Rogers mixed up with Willie Whatsisface...

Blake's lighting arrangement, Thrice plugging, Xbox naming hassles, Unpopular Guitarpinions, Tater guitars, Brian and the Unknowns...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blake tells us all about his pirate fantasy as we delve back into the world of tone chasing once more and he talks about an interestingly housed pedal from an eco friendly source. Richard has seen the new Fender Player Acoustasonic and he still wants one but he feels he isn't ready to spend that much money. Brian on the other hand is not interested unless it's made by Charles Whitfill and diverts the conversation into the painful world of pedal naming.

It's the 2 year anniversary of the launch of the Wampler Terraform and the guys talk about how much they love that particular tiny little bundle of modulation goodness. Richard also drops some hints about some products that Wampler have been working on.

There was some news this week about the lead singer of a band called Brass Against - you may have already heard about them in the news - and their lead singer's now infamous stunt at a festival. Was it a travesty or was it marketing cunning at its finest - we are certainly all talking about it and Brian considers the pros and cons of this type of approach to marketing.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

The guys have some technical issues as they go to record and this makes Richard 5% more angry and so Brian and Blake take it upon themselves to audition their British accents.  Richard nearly bought a new pedal but was confused by the wording in the specs. Luckily Brian pointed out how stupid he was being (well, actually he lets us into a little industry secret) and all was well in the world. 

There is an untypical serious moment as the guys look at the tragedy that occurred at the Astroworld festival and some interesting views are shared. It is not a subject that gets the normal lighthearted treatment, and there is a lot of speculation as nobody knows the full details,  but the guys felt it needed to be discussed.

There's a gorgeous looking new Wah pedal on the market which the guys look at before complicating matters with scurrilous rumors. Industry experts have made a large prediction about the state of the industry which the guys discuss before looking to the aforementioned Taterson "Shwifty" Shwift.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

The guys reflect on last week's guest appearance from the GristleMeister Greg Koch and Richard has already ordered a beanie. The guys then talk about the news from Chase Bliss and Cooper FX and Blake has some insights into the origins and back story of the deal - some of which sound very familiar to the situation Brian found himself in.  Brian then gives us some insight into the inner workings of a pedal company and the things that excite him about the business. 

Fender have bought Presonus in a move that brings them firmly into the world of DAW software and hi tech music production hardware so the guys talk about what this may or may not mean before flying off on a total tangent.  Brian then tells us about a video that Mike from Analogman posted showing him destroying fake King of Tone pedals which caused some controversy on the internet.

JHS bought out their take on the classic RAT circuit with their new multi rat pedal and Brian gives us a view on the technology with a wry look at some of the criticism that has been unfairly piled on JHS. Richard then imagines an ultimate fighting competition between Josh and Brian and it just gets very silly.

Brian, Blake and Richard are joined by special guest Greg Koch this week with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Disturbing and glorious! This episode opens at full speed and doesn't let up - so strap yourself in and prepare for the journey. Greg gives us a vast number of cool insights into his background and musical career whilst keeping us all hugely entertained with his trademark sense of humor and gristle based panache.

Greg has some signature pedals - including the Diabolical Gristle Tone Manipulator -  so Brian asks a little bit about them and how they came to be before the inevitable conversation about food leads on to a little talk about Greg's journey to his current tea(coffee)-total state via Keith Moon's biography...I did say it would be a wild ride.

There are some serious points raised when Greg raises his own unique personality traits and how they defined the beginning of his life - he speaks pretty candidly and doesn't shy away from the truth. He also gives some great advice about how to get started in the music business, what it takes, what it doesn't take, and how he made it through all of the pitfalls that were placed in his way. You are definitely not going to want to miss this one!

We had a great time recording this show, Greg was a lot of fun and we definitely enjoyed our brief trip to electric gristleland so sit back, pour yourself a coffee, and enjoy this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Would you buy a Brian Wampler action figure ? Of course not because you are not deranged, but if you did, what accessories would it ship with? What about super cheap pedals? Are you into those? The guys have their say on a new range of ultra budget pedals that have just been announced. 

Brian has one simple trick to make your battery last longer in your pedal - you don't want to miss this stunning revelation. There have been more guitar related crimes (and not just Richard's playing) but there's a nice twist in this story, which leads us into a fascinating mini history of a surprising custom shop that made some interesting guitars. 

Richard attempts (very unconvincingly) to hoodwink Blake into believing there are bizarre fashion related rules in the UK and fails. The guys then talk about playing a guitar with a bow and it turns out Brian has already bought something...

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian woke up one day to find the Wampler Instagram account had disappeared. What happened to it ? Did Richard's memes cause more offence than normal? Did Brian's singing cause some form of sonic weapon based activity which resulted in a ban? Or was it just a hideously horrible random incident? The guys chat about the incident, the major annoyance it caused, and how they resolved it with some assistance from Blake and some other utter legends.  

Whats the longest you've gone between starting to learn and finishing to learn a guitar solo ? Richard had a mental block over something relatively simple but set himself a challenge to fix a multi decade laziness issue.  Blake cannot remember when he last learned someone else's solo and the guys chat about learning other people's work and the concept of finger acrobatics versus playing music. 

Do you have a nice acoustic guitar? Brian maybe entering his new age hippy period and he's thinking about a new acoustic so the guys have a little chat about it before exploring the capitol city of pedal builders. Google have included a guitar tuner in their search page and it works pretty well so the guys check it out as well as some new tube based pedals.

Follicle related challenges, Blakealikes, Brian speaks yoof, SMS stylings, VR Headsets, The Vibrating Oscillation ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Blakes been to Nashville and has eaten his entire bodyweight in biscuits and gravy and various animal products  - he may have also bought some new toys. Brian has taken note of some new guitars with built in Chase Bliss effects and the guys chat about how it might work for them and Brian offers to become fully sponsored by Chase Bliss as long as he can wear his Wampler brand Boxer shorts.


Was Elvis Presley a Spy for Richard Nixon? At the peak of Beatlemania, it is alleged that Richard Nixon asked Elvis Presley to go and spy on John Lennon and report back on how the Beatles were destroying the youth culture of the innocent American children. The guys chat about this and why Elvis possibly wasn't the best choice of undercover spy...


How do you get started as a small band? And how do you make money? A lot of musicians have had to take side jobs to create a stable income on top of gig money and the guys talk about the challenges of playing and earning in 2021.

Brian, Travis and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

This week we are joined once again by the legend in his own lunchtime, Travis Feaster,  who immediately raises the tone by discussing his wife's Tik Tok activities and Richard doesn't notice that he was using his room mic for the first 10 minutes and berates himself muchly. There are some beeped swears.  The guys chat about other long running podcasts in the same space and touch a little on the history of the Chasing Tone podcast and gear podcasts.


How good are you with a bottleneck / slide on an electric? Richard has been practising and realised he has a long way to go, and the guys chat a little about Derek Trucks and slide technique in general.  Do you like sunburst finishes? Apparently John Mayer doesn't and this also becomes a point of discussion. Travis uses this as an opportunity to mention his '64 Strat which makes small parts of Richard very envious. Ok all of him. 


Do you visit your local Guitar Center while high? No of course you don't - you are not that guy from Chattanooga...or are you? Travis introduces us to his new invented word and the guys chat about various substances and immediately regret it.  He then gives us some valuable insight into how to find the vintage guitar of your dreams - you wont want to miss this bit as he gives a clue about the next bargain collectable guitar.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

We have a bit of a different episode this week as we are joined by the insanely talented Dave Kilminster, a musician who has come from the mean streets of Bristol, UK (very similar to Indiana according to Richard - but he mixes up two Wurzels songs so what does he know?) via Keith Emerson, Steven Wilson and Roger Waters. Thats not a bad CV and we haven't even touched on half of it!


Starting out with a catastrophic injury that would have finished many people off before they started guitar wise, Dave went on to win a UK competition and had an established music teaching career before playing with some cast iron UK legends and he tells us about his early influences and the musical journey so far. There is a fair bit of Pink Floyd content here (I wonder who is to blame there), and he talks extensively about emulating David Gilmour, but there is also a whole load more and Dave gives us some very cool insights into touring and playing to a global stage. 


We touch on Dave's Gear of course, and we learn some of the secrets he has learned about Gilmour's tone, and Richard fails massively to not be awestruck or convince Brian of his need to listen to more Floyd.  He may be convinced to buy a Tele with a Whammy bar though. We talk about pickups and we talk about Dave's solo work and his upcoming album where he gets to be himself and how starting off listening to diverse musical styles really helped hone his skills.  Blake is not to blame for the rise of streaming and tells us so pretty concisely. 


Black Sabbath,  Dave Grohl,  How to audition properly, Electrocuted finishes, Dub side of the moon....it's all in this weeks Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Have you ever foraged for mushrooms? No, not the ones that make you see faeries, the ones that offer sustenance...Blake has and tells us about it. Richard has listened to a podcast where Jo Wood, the former wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, interviews some  of her fellow celebrity UFO fans, and he tells us the story that stuck in his mind about Robbie Williams before Brian tells us about his schoolyard fighting days.

Whats the largest concert you ever went to? The guys talk about some ridiculous numbers Richard found out about whilst looking into some of the world's biggest concerts. This leads Brian to worry about the practicalities and then discuss bass guitar heroes including the bass player Darren Wall who stopped a shooter and is our Hero of the Week. Someone stole some instruments from one of Blake's friend’s bands (Kaonashi) and he is mad...and rightly so! In terms of thievery, almost nothing is worse than stealing someones tools and stopping them from working. 

Some people use the term "Bedroom Guitarist" as an insult to the level of skill a guitarist has, but the guys do not agree.  However you make your music, as long as you enjoy it, it is all good.  What if you work with guitars for a living - is it still fun? Find out what the guys think in this episode. Richard has one of Brian's new prototypes and it has surprised him despite his familiarity with the architecture...

Crowds of millions, Inverting Op-amps, Joe Perry, Studio toys, 1972 Plexi amps, Tremelo pedals, Smokey amps, Investing in guitars ... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


Support Woes! Brian is feeling mega-ranty because he doesn't understand why internet induced impatience has led to people asking social media for support first instead of  contacting the company's support. Hear him seethe as Richard and Blake poke the bear with a big stick.  He does have a point though.


Brian is finding the internet a stressful environment currently and Richard suggests some relaxation techniques. One of them involves Bacon and Ice cream. It didn't quite have the desired effect on Brian but he says he will try anything once if bacon is involved. But not if cookies are required. Richard teases us with the next Wampler release but is typically coy, and he also has a page turner for when he practices learning Tab but he feels he also needs a big cape for his keyboard solos.


Should Brian downsize his guitar collection? No of course he should not. Blake and Richard reassure him that 16 is the very bare minimum he can live with. How do you decide how many you should keep? Do you get emotional with guitars as art pieces? And what about rotating them in your playing - do  you like to swap out your playing guitar regularly?? By the time you answer this we may have all been transported to Proxima Centauri to reseed the human population with Bruce Dickinson anyhow...


Ratsbane, Zuckerspammary, Punching koalas, Angry answerphone messages, Superbrian, Neon green guitars, Portishead... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


Brian's been to the Woodshed Guitar experience in Nashville and relays the event's happenings. He was not happy with his initial choice of accommodation but it was probably all forgotten about as soon as he discovered the ancient art of drunken trampolining. Are you a high maintenance individual? Turns out Brian might be...listen in on his outrageous demands and his morning routine nuances and caffeination expectations. Oh he also jammed with Brent Mason and (virtually) salivated over Robben Ford's Dumble.


Brian has secret Jazz leanings and this has blown Richard's mind. Its not just cabbage related but maybe there is a a reference point. Can Richard influence Brian with more random prog rock? Probably not, but he tries, and discovered Brian knows his 80's pop! We also discover that Brian played another instrument in the past...


Blake has had a go in a Tesla and he liked it...he liked it a lot. So much so that Brian really, really wants one. But he hates driving! He wants something totally autonomous that drives him around his estate in style so he can just kick back with a craft IPA and his crispy new balance shoes. Did you know there were Eggs hidden in the Tesla ? And not the chocolatey type either.


Are pedals the baseball trading cards of the music world? Brian laments over his new revelation, possibly formulated under the influence of excess caffeine, and the guys talk about the concept of collectables. Richard has opinions, some of them make vague sense, the rest are just his normal ranty outbursts.


Angry Englishman, Some artists are terrible people, Brian's Flippage, a terrible dad joke, Redbull bike festival, Horse dancing ... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


Is Brian the Larry David of the pedal world? He certainly resembles him according to Richard and the guys chat about some TV before Blake notices Brian isn't paying full attention. Strymon have released a new Phaser with an interesting name and Richard loves the look of it. Brian is not yet convinced but the guys chat about it and whether or not you need that many options for a phaser before Blake waxes lyrical about the depths of modulation he wishes to reach before the guys talk about pedal aesthetics and minimalism.


Fender have announced the new Player Plus range and they are going to sit right at the top end of their "Made in Mexico" line with some colors that got leaked. This causes Brian to go to an Italian website and he becomes confused by cookies. Mmm...Cosmic Jade...and is Dark Night the Antigua burst of this generation of Fender guitars?


Richard has attempted the simplest piece of guitar modification possible - and it went horribly pear shaped - so he tells us about exactly what went wrong and why you should listen to the advice of others. Except him. He's one of the top three stupidest people on this episode. The guys try and sell him on the benefit of a decent soldering station. Yes, it got nerdy as hell at this point.


Is there anything nicer than a sea-foam green guitar? What about a sea-foam green guitar back scratcher? How about one branded by Joe Bonamassa? Yes, we have sent our hard earned dollars to the Joe B marketing machine and the guys perform a "live" review.  At the time of recording Blake was preparing to talk to Misha Mansoor of Periphery and the guys look a little at his music and his business.


Maximum Self Oscillation, Nu-X or Nux, The Hot Tub of manly diseases, The Geriatric Eagles, Disgusting plastic wrap, Soldering stations... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back and joined by Daniel Steinhardt in an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


This week we are stoked to have Daniel Steinhardt from The GigRig.com and That Pedal Show joining us for a lengthy chat about capacitors and resistors. He tells us a fantastic story about Yoshi from BOSS and his origins in engineering, and then spins off into telling us all the story of how he went from a touring guitarist to running his own electronics company. It's sounds very much like it has been quite the awesome journey so far!


Brian get's to test his hillbilly Englo-stralian accent on a real Australian, and Dan talks a little bit about his early influences and the music scene down under before he had his first quasi-religious experience with a classic pedal.  It sparked a lifelong love of pedals and that certainly comes across with a natural passion that shines through in Dan's stories. 


Dan also tells us a lot about his amazing relationship with industry legend and his partner in crime Mick Taylor, and the guys find out about how That Pedal Show came to be. He also tells us about the work that goes into that show before breaking down his dream rig - and Dan has definitely played played through one or two pieces of kit in his time.  He's even given Brian some more food for thought and perhaps a new purchase looms on the horizon? 


We all take a different musical journey in life, and Dan's video last year made us all think about our own love of the instrument, of music, and the circles we keep as we make our own way through this journey and our own connections to creativity. The podcast may get deep at some points so strap yourself in for a ride it's not your usual episode...


The Last Blockbuster, Elgar's beard, Hear the guys all say 'wow' like Owen Wilson, Roger Mayer, Natural feel for pedal order, Brians RF Chicken coop ... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


Something has happened to Brian and Blake - they've started to talk all polite and well mannered - has Richard infected them with a dose of Britishness? Did you catch Dave Grohl trolling some mean folk? The guys chat with reverence and awe over his amazing prank delivery and the concept of a mobile stage, arial guitar licks, and paintball guns.


Is Brian wearing any pants? Are they underpants or overpants, it's all very confusing for him, and becomes doubly so when the conversation moves on to the famous actor Idris Elba who Brian has never heard of. Logan Paul? Different story...Remember last week when Brian found a four inch snake? Well this week he encountered a relative and had to dispatch it humanely. He expounds on his theory about snakes, you wont be disappointed by it before he and Blake ponder life on the road.


Brian has come up with a new circuit! Its got him all excited and he drops a hint about what it may be...#itdefinitelyisntametalzone. Meanwhile, the gear industry is suffering from a major parts shortage, and we find ourselves bidding against major companies and governments for precious  OpAmp chips.


Theres a special jack socket out that makes a bold claim about its advantages. The guys chat about this and the marketing of it and then a little bit of schooling on jacks and TRS connectors. Brian's off to this years Woodshed Guitar Experience and gives us a little preview.


Smoking caffeine, Richard's rumored water bong, Frog / Centipede horrors, Digi-der-oos, Mojo by the gallon, Never fix your bosses sons' laptop... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!


Do you think the best part of Gear Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S) is the chase? You know, that period when you have ordered something but it is yet to come and you soak up everything the internet has to offer? Its Blake's birthday and he has ordered a special guitar and is almost ready to graduate to long trousers, Brian is contemplating giant displays, and Richard is shaking his fist at a cloud...before some rude person with a clipboard angers the resident canine alarm system. 


Greta Van Fleet have turned a series of humorous memes aimed against them into marketing success via TikTok so the guys give us their views on the platform before breaking down some old fashioned marketing trends versus more modern personality based marketing. Blake hasn't taken to TikTok as much as Brian but maybe this is about to change.


Is there about to be a tube shortage? Mike Matthews' latest prediction may not be all its cracked up to be and Richard shows off just how stupid he is before professor Brian Google schools him...and what about tube based pedals, how will it affect those and how in fact do they do what they do so darn well?


Brian took a trip to see Brad Paisley and hung out back stage. He may drop a hint or two and may have accidentally played one or two guitars that perhaps he shouldn't have...

RIP Dusty Hill, Dirty Honey, Tiny snakes, Giant monitors, Frogs... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast! 

Gibson has announced that it intends to launch a record label and the guys chew this over before pondering the idea of the Mega Music Corporation. Will this be a positive move? Will they take over the world? Is Joe B flying to space in a Gibson Rocket? Brian is a fan of the idea, and wonders if he can start something similar and Blake talks about the "New Artist Model" that is prevalent. Do you care about the views of artists you love ? Richard doesn't always, and  believes that social media has made everyone a critic / journalist and not always with great results...


Richard tells us why he hates websites that autoplay music, especially loud music, and doubly especially when an advert plays in a window he cant find, and the one time he was asked to make a website in Comic Sans. It nearly ended his career and it then turns his ranty boomer mode up to 11. 


EHX's Mike Matthews has posted up a cryptic page on his website that talks about how he is planning to tap into a massive free energy source that could solve energy problems for all of us on planet earth. Will it work or not? Who knows, but if anyone can save us, it is Mike Matthews. Or perhaps this is a sinister plan to take over the worlds via a mesh network of Big Muffs?? 

Have you ever found something inside a pedal that wasn't supposed to be there? One of our listeners sent in a picture of a Wah pedal that had clearly been used for someone's stash...


Greasy chicken, Glenn Medeiros, Big Pharma, Hendrix plays a Gibson Strat, Brian has a new guitar, toys for idiots,  Podcast-B-Gone... It's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast! Brian trolls Richard expertly before telling us about his experiences at Summer NAMM and it’s not like any Summer NAMM he’s been to before so he gives us a run down of the show before literally almost performing a different kind of run down as he tries to take out the competition. He’s also been checking out some new music…well new for Brian anyhow….and Richard attempts to educate Brian on early German Power metal. Brian then speculates about Winter NAMM and the attendance levels that may or may not manifest themselves. 

IK Multimedia, the creators of Amplitube, have come out with some cool looking pedals, and the guys chat about the concept and the large footprint IK have chosen. This brings up the subject of digital versus analog pedals and then the guys talks about how digital sounds different to different people and how age affects hearing. Taste and hearing loss have varying effects on our chase for tone as mentioned by one of our listeners, so the guys chat about it. 

Rick Beato has had some copyright issues with an episode about “The Cars” and Brian discusses it before smoothly transitioning into the newly stoked up debate about streaming which has gone as far as the British parliament. Will the men in glitter be round? Blake admits he likes Wham and Richard discusses the generosity of George Michael.

Brian wants to move to Nashville, Woo-girls and pedal cars, Dodgy rocket designs, Aluminium necked guitars, it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
 
The guys talk about the Rockman and a meme that Richard made about a number of requests Wampler have been getting to make their take on it. Blake and Brian educate him a bit about the history of the Rockman, Tom Shultz, Boston, and the sounds it can make before reflecting on price gouging and rare fuzz.

Brian suffers from temporal goat non-remembrance and Blake has a new Tolkien inspired pedal that brings him much joy. The guys then realise Brian may not be up to date on his Tolkien when he crumbles under mild interrogation and Richard struggles to keep it together.

It's new amp day for Bri! Find out all about his new "dumble" inspired amp and why he had to buy it. He's also off to Summer Namm and the guys discuss the glittery outfit Amanda needs to make for Brian as he struts his stuff in the summer heat.

Brian wants to go to space, and predicts he will do one day, and the guys discuss flat earth theory, UFOs, and the myriad alien races that control the planet earth.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
 
Brian is tired, so very tired, and has been burning the midnight oil on his travels to see Josh Scott from JHS Pedals in Kansas City, Missouri. He and Blake swap sleep accessory tips before Brian is forced to remove his headset as Blake tells an awful story. Richard discusses his sleeping superpower before Blake points out it may be a legitimate medical issue. 

Blake and Brian compare notes about the amazing setup JHS have and we learn a little of the professional media environment Josh has put together with his team. From broadcast tips to jamming with the guys, Brian breaks down his experience and how much he enjoyed it, and there was no mention of a giant ham but some mention of Dave lee Roth’s alternative career as a Paramedic. 

Does a popular piece of free audio software have spyware embedded? The guys chat around this controversial issue. This leads into a conversation about Ai generated music and the specific concept of bringing artists back from the dead using new technology. 

Originality is something that is often discussed in the pedal world, even though we know they are all basically tube screamer clones, and Brian has some views on this but most importantly has discovered a truly unique and original guitar pedal. We then discover a shocking dark secret about Richard's Epiphone 

Epoxy Guitars, Bone Saws, Van Halen, Custom 335s, Joe Bs Salty Vee, New Fenders, Crossroads (the movie), it’s all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian,  Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian suffers from permanent timezone confusion and so the guys talk about universal time before they drift off onto AI powered tractors, lawn mowing meditation, and why Richard’s dad is not the lead guitar player in Saxon. Brian reveals he off to Kansas to see JHS, and will be going live with Josh this week, lets see what comes out of that meeting of minds…

Blake tells us all about his new Orange cab and was surprised by the head he found he liked the best with it. He got some interesting information direct from Orange and shares his findings with everyone. 

A meme has been circulated relating to 3 stereotypical podcast hosts. Apparently all podcasts have the same three hosts and the guys wonder which apply to them. Sadly Brian doesn’t watch movies so has no idea what this means. But he has confessed to liking some Pink Floyd. Or has he?  The guys then discover that if you draw a Venn diagram to figure out where the common musical thread between them is it ends up with a surprising result.

Brian has a rant about people who unnecessarily fiddle with trim pots inside their pedals. It is not something he approves of (to put it mildly).  Richard invents the Scissor-Lift pedalboard (tm) and performs a fascinating radio mime to describe this. Is there a shortage of guitar strings? Blake has insider knowledge and Brian taps him up for his unique requirements, and the guys discuss coated strings.

Metallica covers, Blake and Brians impersonation of the St Anger snare sound,  Canadian Les Paul purchasing, Peaches, Headless guitars, Epiphones, the dark art of truss rod tweaking, its all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian,  Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian bemoans the software industry as he has technical issues and it fires him into rant mode. Wampler made a pedal once that people thought was too weird for us, Brian tries to relate this to cars, and the conversation drifts into hillbilly territory…

Richard discovers that Brian, and Blake, have never heard of stadium dad rock giants, Status Quo, and is audibly shook by this telecaster based injustice. We discuss the infamous telecaster mods of Francis Rossi and then Brian reveals that the team have been working hard on some new products before he fantasises about breadboarding in Starbucks.

Blake gives us an update on his Rickenbacker to vintage Orange cab trade, Richard admits he not really into vintage amps so the guys pour well deserved scorn on his silly views.  They then have a little bit of a look at Orange as a brand and Brian lowers the tone and reveals why he is the worst medical doctor to have. 

How do you approach learning? Do online methods and apps work better for you than say traditional sheet music or tab ? The guys have different views on how they take in info and which learning style works for them. Brian then declares victory on the music taste front when Richard confesses to downloading Skid Row and Dokken.

ASMR for electronics nerds, mean comments, Dad metal, Bigsby and Grunge pedals, did we mention Patreon? It’s all in this weeks episode of Chasing Tone!

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast, and this week they are joined by Travis Feaster. 

Blake's conundrum - Should he swap his 6 String Rickenbacker 360 for a vintage Orange cab? The guys discuss how Rickenbacker manufacture their guitars and Travis shares some insider info on their production process. Travis describes his haggling nature and the guys talk about gear trading in general. 

Travis taps into Brian's hip and happening nature with a question about impulse responses and the guys have an in-depth discussion about IRs and Amp simulations…and then concludes what we all know, that the SLO 30 is the greatest amp on the planet.

Brian also has a conundrum with mixing again and has been to Youtube university to learn a bit more so the guys have a chat about mixing while Blake becomes increasingly nervous about his vintage cab falling into the hands of someone who wont love it as much as him.

What are the two biggest factors in an amplifier's sound ? You may be surprised to hear it isn’t the tubes…

Blake gets angry with realtors, Travis plays “older” country gigs, Magnetic arm foolishness, it’s all in this weeks episode of Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast. 

This week Richard learns about the wood shortage and rising prices of wood as a result whilst Brian once again avoids talking about capacitors and resistors, and Blake explains his totally legitimate theory of how to make playlists make him money whilst he sleeps....ok maybe it is slightly dodgy...

Is vegan jerky just dried bell pepper ? Perhaps rope is as tasty ? Brian and Blake are not convinced...really, Richard just needs to try Blake's Backyard Burgers and BBQ.

Spotify Premium vs Apple Music and streaming services in general - whats your preference ? Richard uses both but has some logic for why. Brian tried to listen to some of Bowie's seminal 1972 album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust..." and is not a fan. He fails to guess what American thrash band Richard loves and then goes off on a debate with Blake about what is thrash and what is not. 

Brian is not happy with the stacked hum-bucker he installed in his Tele style Friedman guitar - he is disappointed with the lack of beef...and potentially crispiness...and then he sees an Epiphone with 3 P90s and needs some private time to reflect. The guys also touch on a little bit of the history of Bigsby too.  Brian also examines a facebook rant about pedal cloning and discusses his industry insider take on this.

John Mayer does Toto, Ninja weaponry, Aliens in 1987, the Mandela effect returns, Pedalboard Monopoly - it's all in the latest episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast. 

The guys discuss the horrendous news that happened prior to recording - the factory where our pedals are built was damaged by a severe fire. It has caused some temporary delays, and a lot of "fun" issues, but we were absolutely bowled over by the support shown by some industry legends including Robert Keeley, Jamie from Earthquaker, and a number of other super cool folk.

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast. 

Blake has been accused of fabricating the truth a little, so the guys explore why this was not the case,  and put the world to rights. Richard observes that the full moon may have created undue amounts of internet stupidity and then promptly puts his (size 13)  foot right in it.

Brian falls victim to multiple incidents of this stupidity and wonders why people are anti-tuner, why people think Jimmy Page didn't like pedals, and why people keep offering him "adult cuddles" in return for gear...

Richard attempts to explain the Eurovision song contest and fails miserably but does spot a Longhorn bass on stage with the Italian winners so that's ok. 

Guitars made from ammo, special edition pedals and guitars, Facebook is spying on us again, Shazam, Lasers, the Matrix - it's all in the latest episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

So hot on the heels of his DS-1 DIY book, Brian talks about the newest release in the series. Are you ready to get your hands on an depth DIY book on the Blues Driver? Brian talks about it.

And all this E-book talk has got Blake thinking about using the platform to share some of his cooking chops. Could a Tone Mob cookbook be in the making? He discusses it.

And there is a lot of talk about “through hole” vs “surface mount” pedals, but a recent post of the internal build on a pedal really displayed how awesome a hand wired pedal can really be. The guys look into it.

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Last week Brian told you about his new Kindle book on modding the DS-1. And you should go get it, but Brian isn’t done yet. He talks about the next e-book he is about to release. 

This quarantine sucks, but there is a positive trend that is pretty exciting. Music gear sale trends are showing that people are looking to make music. From a spike in gear sales to soaring searches for Garage Band, there could be some really cool new music emerging in the near future.

Have you ever watched a gear demo on YouTube and thought “I can do that.” But where do you start? What does it take to get gear companies to notice you or send you stuff to demo? It’s an interesting discussion.

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

A recent visit to a gear forum raised the question of where to place an ADA MP1. In front of the amp or in the effects loop? This leads to a discussion on pre-amps and shows you shouldn’t always believe what you read on the internet.

This quarantine has changed a lot of things in our personal and professional lives. This includes some of the things Wampler does as a company. Brian and Blake take a look at how this all translates to the gear world.

Brian has just released a new DIY Kindle E-book full of DS-1 info and mods. Perfect time to “shelter in place” and do some rad mods on that DS-1 sitting in your closet.

Ryan Bruce of the Riffs Beards and Gear YouTube Channel recently highlighted nine apps and programs that are being offered for free or on extended trials to help you make music during these times of quarantine. The guys discuss the list

So we are all just a little stir crazy these days. Our way of life and the way we do business have drastically changed. The guys talk about what effect this may have on the gear industry moving forward.

Blake picked up a couple of new pedals and Brian’s sidewalk chalk schematics lead to a discussion about Rat pedals. It will all make sense when you hear the discussion.

Brian and Blake are back for an all new episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

As 2019 comes to an end the guys look back on the history of the Chasing Tone podcast and look ahead at what the next decade holds for the podcast and guitar gear. 

Another Tone group question sparks another great conversation about effective ways to practice guitar. There are some interesting techniques. They also talk about a guitar hero who practices 12 hours a day.

Brian welcomes Blake back for an all new episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

A simple question from a presumably new guitarist sparked an interesting conversation about how we all had to start somewhere. While some info in the gear world can seem old hat to the veteran tone chasers, we have to remember what it was like for all of us in the beginning. The guys expand on the concept.

Blake’s been on the mend and been unable to enjoy some new gear. He finally got his hands on a new Satellite Adam Amp that has all the tone he has been looking for. Brian also got some new gear from JHS. He talks about the Colourbox and his thoughts on it.

Components. Does the size of a transformer in an amp make a difference one way or the other? Do cloth wires sound better than standard wiring? Is hand wired gear better than machine produced circuit boards? Opinions are shared.

Brace yourselves, Winter NAMM is coming, Weather Apps and health warnings, and Brian goes in full "ok boomer" mode. All in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.

Philipe Herndon put out four rules for any guitarist playing on stage. The guys discuss their feelings about the rules and even add a couple of their own.

And Wampler Tone Page regular Niq Scott posted a question about “Pedal Platform” Amps. This leads to a discussion about finding your clean tone on an amp that works best for you. The differences of opinions are very interesting. 

Compression. Do you use it? Travis doesn’t use it while Brian uses multiple compressors. Is it a difference in taste or is it driven by styles? The guys sort through it. 

The Wampler diet plan, Christmas cookies, and Travis’s thoughts on the Terraform. All in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.

Brian is joined by Blake for another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Trash Cat Pedals is a new start up on Etsy. That sparked a conversation about what it takes to start up a company and how to effectively market yourself. In this world it is all about content creation and being real with your audience. The guys talk about it.

Apparently there is a Black ’65 available on eBay for a cool $1600. And to add to the “mystery” is the title for the listing. A “One Puller” pedal? That phrase shows up in quite a few other listings as well. The guys talk about the reasons you should NOT pay $1600 for a Black ’65 and what may be driving those kind of prices.

Blake’s new microphone, 5g Technology, vacation planning, and Wampler Austrailia?  It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

On some delay/reverb pedal it is not uncommon to lose the trail effect when you switch the pedal off. This raised the question why do delay/reverb pedals need a buffered bypass for trails? Brian gives some insight into what is really going on.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface, or MIDI, is a versatile tool that has been around for some time. Blake dove in to learning what it can do and is amazed by the depths of control that MIDI brings and what it can do for the guitar gear world. The guys talk about it.

Neural link technology, “they” are listening, and Brian tries not to burn his house down.  It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

So Blake was loaned a multi-scale guitar by Jaymar Guitars. This lead to a discussion about tele’s, benders and Brian’s obsession with the telecaster. The guys also discuss what a multi-scale guitar actually is.

Fender did a study and discovered 90% of new guitarists abandon the instrument in the first year. Brian and Blake discuss some of the nuances behind this discovery.

Some wondered if it was really going to come out. Some people even pondered the idea that it was not even real. But finally, the Terraform has hit the market. The guys celebrate the accomplishment.

Blake needs a bender, Bill Murray, and The Matrix V2?  It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

So Blake posted a picture of his Boss BF2 Flanger on Instagram, and it started an interesting discussion about how people perceive voltage affecting the pedals tone. Some believe the more the better, while others claim cool effects with low voltage. Brian talks about what may be happening.

There seems to be a little Facebook fatigue affecting the volume of traffic in some of the gear groups. Is it just Facebook, or is the trend happening across all of social media? Where is everyone going to discuss gear? Brian and Blake discuss it.

What constitutes a “sell out”? Is success a sign that you have “sold out”? The term is used quite often and the guys take a look at some of the reasons.

Reverb’s shooting a film, Brian wants to build his own pre-amp and does pitch correction work? It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Apparently Fender sent out a little teaser for a new guitar they are ready to release. The design puts some new twists on the Fender look. The guys talk about the new developments and where you may be able to get your hands on one.
 
Internet trolls. They can be annoying and even sometimes amusing (to a point)  Brian shares the posts that had he and Josh Scott (JHS) scratching their heads.

NGD. Usually means New GEAR day, and for Blake that is true. But for Brian it means new GOAT day. His goats had a couple of kids (awwww) but the runt has to have some extra TLC. Find out what new pedal Blake got and how Brian is spoiling a goat.

Neckbeards in grandma’s basement, Ukuleles with B Benders, germanium myths.  It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake got their hands on new pedals. Blake landed a Digitech Freakout and Brian got a Dualist. Blake played his, Brian dissected his. They talk about the results.

Creating content can be daunting, and sometimes you need to mix things up for your viewers almost as much for your self. Brian talks abut how he is dealing with the issue

So it was an unintentional mistake or a stroke of marketing genius, but Strymon has the gear community abuzz with the leak of info and pics of their new pedal. What is it? What does it do? Brian and Blake unravel the mysteries.

So who doesn’t know the iconic Beatles album Sgt Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band? Apparently Brian’s family. (Face Palm) Brian reveals the dinner time revelation and talks about his failures as a father. (Not really failures, but it sounds dramatic, right?)

We just need more time in a day, Brian’s gig woes, Blake’s amp experiment, and electric Lutes. It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Over the years there have been a lot of pedals introduced to the market, but have some classics like the OD 808 been forgotten? The guys muse the issue and remember some classics that may surprise you.

We know pedals are all about tone, but does the artwork and graphics on a pedal matter? Does it make a difference on purchase decisions? Brian and Blake talk about it and Blake issues an interesting challenge to Brian for the next NAMM show.

And Blake has noticed  an increasing number of Helix and Fractal units becoming available on resell sites like Reverb and eBay. Are players drifting back to pedals? It is an interesting topic for discussion

Brian has new circuits in the works and don’t go the gym at 7pm. It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

So Brian has been in “fuzz state of mind” lately toying with some fuzz circuits. This has Blake excited and sparks a conversation about where this could be going. Is a new fuzz coming from Wampler?

Is Blake putting down his guitar to play the synth? He talks about his desire to acquire a Fender Rhodes piano and how that led him to purchase a Yamaha synth with some Rhodes modules. Can effects be used here? The guys talk about it.

Brian and Blake are at it again with another episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

Just when the dust had seemed to settle on the drama surrounding Gibson they have to go and delete all their videos from their YouTube channel. And then there are rumors that Mark Agnesi is gone? It is an authentic conversation.

A meme is circulating comparing modern day musicians with the rock stars of 1987. The guys talk about the image and if there is any merit to it’s theme.

Song writing. Some are able to collaborate with bandmates to create their songs, while others are more comfortable writing with a click track and their DAW. Brian and Blake talk about the advantages to both.

275 - Giving Away Pedals is Hard

Brian and Blake are back for another Chasing Tone podcast.

Brian and Blake are back for another Chasing Tone podcast.

Do gear companies have a “DNA”? Would it be too much of a shock if Wampler dabbled in the tc Electronics realm, or JHS came out with an Earthquaker style pedal? It is an interesting concept that Brian and Blake explore.

Renaming the podcast? Brian’s “escape”, and a hard host to listen to. It’s all in this week’s episode of the Chasing Tone podcast.

NAMM is behind us but Brian and Blake share some of their amazing stories from an extraordinary show on this epic episode of Chasing Tone. (Oops, dropped my thesaurus)

Brian and Blake came home with new axes. Blake picked up an Equitz Rayburn guitar, and Brian got his hands on a Friedman Tele with a B bender. They talk about the new acquisitions. 

Pick ups can make a world of difference in the tone of a guitar. Brian put some new Vaughn Skow pick ups in his PRS. He talks about the difference they made

Most times Brian comes back from NAMM happy to avoid NAMMthrax (If he did) and in need of some Exederin(tm) and rest. But this NAMM re-energized Brian and his love of music. He talks about it.

Steve Vai in the Wampler booth, Paul Gilbert crashes a video Brian was involved in, and the convention center wants to cater your pizza party, just one problem. It’s all in this edition of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

NAMM is this week, but Brian and Blake took some time to produce a new Chasing Tone Podcast.

Wampler is presenting a new pedal at NAMM this year. It is a multi effects modulation pedal with some cutting edge tech that will blow your mind. Brian talks about the depth of the latest offering from your favorite Indiana pedal company.

Blake has found an interesting way to record audio for his gear demos. It is a bit unique and Brian and Blake talk about why it works.

The Meris Enzo. A synth pedal. Blake has one and loves it. He explains what it does and why it is different from other “synth” pedals on the market.

Blake’s NAMM pizza party, Brian is working on his dad figure, and EarthQuaker’s Jaime has no beard? It’s all in this edition of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

**NOTE - Put a reminder on your phones, Brian will be doing an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit on February 4th starting at 2pm. Bring your questions and join the conversation.

It’s a new year and Brian and Blake are back for a new Chasing Tone Podcast.

So imagine going into the studio and laying down tracks only to find the producer bypassed your rig and applied different effects in post. This happened to a member of the tone group. Brian and Blake share their thoughts on the situation.

Do you buy gear on Amazon? Are you sure you’re getting the real deal? Counterfeit gear is becoming a real problem on the popular site. The guys have some thoughts on the matter.

NAMMs a comin’, peaches, Blake is getting old and Google searches. It’s all in this edition of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

**NOTE - There was a hiccup in the recording of this episode. i.e;Brian did not hit record. So Brian's audio is from the Skype recording. We apologize in advance for the diminished audio quality.
