Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and 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!

406 - Weird Bri Wamplervic and don't click random youtube links

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!

Next Episode

408 - Metal Lords and the correct strategy for dealing with bobcats

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!
