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.
Stout hacks, Silver Strats, 4000 PSI, Buff Brian, Thought experiments ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

501 - Who invented Heavy Metal and did Punk come first?
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
02/22/24 • 47 min
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 501 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian and Blake question Richard's genetics and open up discussing the spectacular 500th episode and Travis gets the blame for everything as we take a fascinating (not) look into the world of podcast production. Richard has DIY questions so Blake take a nap and Brian gives us all some tips on safety at the soldering station. He's very happy with his latest enclosure and the guys talk about different ways of making DIY labels and prints.
Blake put a post out recently and it caused a minor furore on the Internet so we dig down into the history of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock and try and figure out what makes them different. Richard tries to sell Brian on the influence of The Kinks to heavy metal and music in general and fails spectacularly. What is it that differentiates Metal from the other genres? Is it the tones or is it the riffs? The guys try and figure it out but largely go off in different tangents.
The conversation stays heavily focused on the music that we all grew up to and there are various points of interest. Richard saw the new H.E.R. Stratocaster and absolutely loves it and it is swiftly added to the list. Staying in the world of Fender, we talk about the new Eric Johnson Strat with built in overdrive, and the guys postulate over what the circuit might be...
Toning Chase, Enclosure tips, Dicks peds, Black Sabbath, Vanilla Fudge, Questionable things ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

395 - Blake's Pizza Pedal and the all new 41 Watt Podcast with Phillip Carter
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
02/09/22 • 49 min
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!

454 - Who's a Bad Monkey and part two of our deep(ish) DAW dive
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
03/29/23 • 56 min
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian has been burning the candle at both ends as they say as he has been working on number of new circuits. This leads the guys onto a discussion about a certain green simian themed pedal that has been literally meme'd to death. There has also been a lot of slightly dubious information circulating the interwebs about the circuit design of this particular pedal so Brian breaks it down and gives us a look at what made this pedal different.
Brent Mason is being inducted into a very prestigious event and Brian has been asked to pick out his favorite songs and it has caused his brain to melt and provokes Blake and Brian into some very bizarre a capella guitar stylings. Richard does his best to ignore and tells us a little about some playing he's been enjoying.
Finally the guys get onto Part Two of the deep dive into DAWs and Richard immediately goes down the wrong path. They guys correct him and start off by talking about miking up a guitar and recording into a DAW and Brian gives us a few choice tips on placement, phasing, and mullets. Richard lets us in on his delay secrets and also offers practical tips for not frying your cpu. There is BIG coyote news this episode too...Ponzi pedals, Spongebob Brianpants, Mass spray confusion, Google plus, Shameless plug, Hot meth and fresh coffee ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

390 - Happy New Year, Happy New Gear!
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
01/05/22 • 57 min
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.
The Fast show, E-sports, The rise of Skynet, Brians radio headset, Blues driver mods, Thalia capos ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

479 - Rise of the ring modulators!
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
09/20/23 • 59 min
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian starts off with some pure filth and Richard tells us tales of the life of an English school kid which massively confuses Brian and Blake. Meanwhile, Richard has graduated from pedal kits and has made his own pedal from scratch and tells us about it. He makes a slight tiny mistake, well, many, and informs us of his errors in great detail.
Brian lowers the tone further before the guys talk about solder, op amps, tone stacks, and fuzz benders. He redeems himself by schooling Richard in some fundamentals and they discuss the next project. Blake then wakes up. Richard has been generating AI music and tells us of his adventures whilst offending Blake massively and then they create a new Sci-Fi film.
What do you think the most famous guitar in the world is? Blake asked this question on social media and has a debate with the guys, and you might be surprised by the conclusion. Also, if you haven't joined the Patreon yet, this week the guys announce the some exclusive Wampler Pedal news exclusively for Patreons. Oh, and you definitely won't want to miss this weeks credits...
Gerald T Opamp, Bad anti-static advice, Frank Sinatra sings Brad Paisley, Daleks, Papaw Wampler ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
01/23/17 • 28 min

504 - The Wampler Ego 76 and the best demo ever?
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
03/13/24 • 53 min
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 504 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Blake has been drinking from the special cabinet again and Richard is contemplating a new hobby and thinks he saw one of the best demos he has ever seen for the new Ego 76. Brian learns a new technique for equipment usage and it shatters his mind. Richard tells us of how he recently reconnected with someone who was also making DIY pedals and reflects upon legendary tales of yore.
You don't need a bicycle if you have a horse according to our friend from Portland, and Richard laments Brian's recent decisions and tries to shut him up. The industry reacts to the death of the Bob Heil, inventor and innovator, and the guys look back a little at his legacy and his most famous product, the Heil Talk Box.
Epiphone have released an expensive new 335 and the guys are obliged to discuss it in detail and Blake has quite the tale to tell. Richard tries to invent a new game and fails with spectacularly mediocre results. Meanwhile Brian is lusting after amplifiers and manoeuvring skilfully but becomes alarmed at words that fall out of Blake's mouth. There are some bizarre impersonations.
The Iron Horse pub, Peter Frampton, Dave Grohl, Vox guitars, The thickiest, Auction losses, Victory amps ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

435 - Brian plays the Bluebird
Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
11/16/22 • 56 min
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Blake is making content in a hotel room, and it has come to pass that Brian is now indeed a Country and Western megastar. He may deny it but he has played at the legendary Bluebird cafe in Nashville, TN and the guys cannot fail to be impressed. Some heavy names were dropped, and some food talk also occurred. It was also livestreamed on Onlyfans of Electronics, no wait, the Wampler Metaverse, no wait, I forget...Anyhow, Bri gives us a great breakdown of his gig and a little bit of history as he tells us about the amazing acts that graced the stage before him.
Eventide have brought out a rather special effects processor, the H90, and the guys cast their opinions over it and its predecessor, the mighty H9. The guys have also been checking out the new Morley analogue flyrig board and thats definitely turned a few heads. But not Ranger Brian's. Richard has also been on the Fret Talk pedalboard so tells us a bit about that and why he love analog knobs. Spray yourself immediately!
Brian has bought a new guitar and he tells us all about it despite the faux protestations from the crew - and it may surprise you. Well at least 50% of it will. It turns out the guys all have the same piece of gear and they all love it and talk about it in glowing terms. There is almost total agreement here, its a bit disturbing.
Peanut butter cheesecake, Pitchshifting mistakes, Forehead presence, The Shaggs Mk2, Free market research, You are a cheap no name wall wart...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
