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 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...
Touching knobs, Niq Scott is awesome, Blake consumes, Glitchers, Frank Iero, More specs...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

410 - The Guitar Geek takeover and Richard meets one of his heroes

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 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?
Powerful Watery Osmosis, Slummery, Blake's sour face, Biscuit mislabelling accusations, Deluxe Paint, 3 dimensions of goodness...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
