Object Worship

Dan Pechacek, Andy Othling

OBNE Presents: Object Worship. A podcast about creative tools and the people who use them. In each episode, hosts Dan Pechacek and Andy Othling sit down with a creator, from musicians to engineers to visual artists, and ask them about a tangible object that’s been important in their journey. They’ll talk about the creative process, early inspirations, and the magic of tactility, all the while getting to know each other. As friends in the effects pedal corner of the music industry, Pechacek and Othling aim to capture the feeling of post-show chats, where technical deep dives and tangential absurdity are equally welcome.

Object Worship - Dan and Andy and the OBNE Pardner
play

09/05/24 • 82 min

Today's all about the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Pardner! Well, mostly at least. We begin with the very exciting conclusion of Andy's Wes Borland saga and give confirmation that sometimes you should meet your heroes. Then we throw it to the hogs for questions about the latest pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors: an oddball fuzz with an overdriven effects loop referred to as PARDNER. From there we talk about some of our favorite uses of the pedal, naturally meander a bit, and end with some chatter about the upcoming Dark Star.

Object Worship - Brady Smith and the Marshall JMP
play

09/19/24 • 102 min

Today we're joined by one of the founders of Old Blood Noise Endeavors: Brady Smith! You may know his history with Keeley, Walrus, and Old Blood, but today we're here to talk about his history with a particular amp you may know as Marsnall: the Marshall JMP that's been his mainstay for decades. We start with a lot of discussion of the Eastside Music Supply 10 Year Anniversary party and the fun people and gear we encountered there, then take some voicemails aimed specifically at Brady, then finally get into his object and how it's informed not only his playing but his ear as a pedal designer, through both its presence and its absence. This is a fun one folks!

Today we, well, forgive us but: express ourselves. We're joined by Damian Kastbauer of Pedal Brainz to talk all things expression. His journey starts with a gutted Dunlop Crybaby adapted to control the trimpot on an Ibanez DM1100 delay, and leads to his own unique expression control products. We get some calls from the hogs about their favorite pedals to express, and try to give some technical info on both expression and CV while exploring the creative realms that open up when you don't take sound so linearly. Andy and Damian find a commonality in their approach to musical gear setups while Dan periodically reminds the listener that Old Blood just came out with the Expression Ramper X3.

Object Worship - Alex Goldman and the Boss RV-3
play

06/22/23 • 71 min

In this episode: Dan, Andy, and special guest Alex Goldman of the now defunct Reply All podcast, Slow Fawns band, and more join together for Episode 7 of Object Worship. Leading off the episode with an odd call from the HOG-LINE HOT LINE* where we found out something before the rest of the world(!!). Alex brings his Boss RV-3 pedal as his Object of Worship and the conversation twists and winds all around it—smashing melodies with the Meris Ottobit and a Prophet 6, new discoveries in magical tone loss, and is the Boss BF-2 really called the Boss Boss Flanger 2 Flanger?

Object Worship - Sean Mackowski and The Noise
play

12/05/24 • 115 min

Today we're joined by Sean Mackowski of Tallon Electric. Before the episode, we thought his object was going to be an amp, but as we get into it, we realize it's all about The Noise, his new pedal collaboration with the band Alpha Wolf. We talk about pedal usage in modern medal and heavy music in general, and various approaches to gain, octaves, and momentary bursts of sound. This one's inspired by the new wave of players using pedals as instrumental elements of the heaviest riffs around. Also, Andy and I are taken aback when we find out what band Sean used to be in. It's a fun one, so dive in!

Object Worship - Chris Benson and the Bogen Challenger PA
play

10/24/24 • 103 min

Today we're joined by Chris Benson of Benson Amps. We're catching up with him after a busy year of releases and Benson Fest, and talking with him about the Bogen Challenger PA that became the first Monarch. This one's a casual conversation, where we take roughly an hour before we get to the object, distracted along the way by discussion of how we interact with the internet, breaking assumptions about the sound of any given component, taking time to play the devices we've created, hot soldering, and getting some absolute gems of wisdom from Chris. It's a great time with our favorite amp builder, now dive on in!

Object Worship - Mike Rugnetta and the Field Recorder
play

03/07/24 • 85 min

Today we're joined by Mike Rugnetta, a sound explorer of many forms. We get into music, podcasting, and a bit of sonic philosophy. Mike teaches us about field recorders, specifically the Sound Devices MixPre-3, and how they've been a part of his creative output through the years. Expect discussions of the meditative nature of capturing and manipulating sound, the value of a ping pong ball, and why Mike nearly chose a hard drive as his object. Oh and of course if you have an opinion on Kierkegaard's favorite pedal, drop us a line at 505-ODD-HOGS.

Today we're joined by Andrew Tasselmyer, prolific musician you may know from his solo work or as a member of Hotel Neon, Gray Acres, and Mordançage. Andrew and Andy have a long friendship, and Dan gets to meet Andrew for the first time. After some chat about technical difficulties and our favorite instrument mods, we get right into the Elektron Octatrack MKII, and Andy and Dan nod their heads along as if they understand half of what's being talked about. It's a deep dive on a deep device from the deep mind of Andrew Tasselmyer. Dig in!

Object Worship - Courtney Swain and the Chase Bliss Blooper
play

06/13/24 • 98 min

Today we're joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Courtney Swain, to talk about her first pedal: the Chase Bliss Blooper. We start with some voicemails about musical flubs because silly old Andy goofed the prompt in Discord, then move into the beginnings of Courtney's pedal journey and how it opened up her creative practice. We talk about processing voice through pedals, the different ways Courtney and Andy use Blooper and other Chase Bliss pedals, blending of effects in parallel, how the aesthetic of a pedal designer can inform the aesthetic of a performer, and how creativity isn't a well to dry up but a self-sustaining ecosystem. It's a big one, get into it!
