Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone Wampler Pedals

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 511 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Brian makes a case for playing with his toys and not throwing them out of his sandbox - and gives us a sneaky listen into a new product he is working on. In completely unrelated news, our good buddy Jordan over at Poison Noises has made a new Reverb and Delay pedal and Richard loves the finish he picked for it. This leads Brian to reminisce wistfully.

Richard asks an important question about knob labeling and the guys debate it momentarily before Richard makes an awkward confession. He also tells us about how sometimes testing pedals can be a bit too enjoyable. Synergy have made a new module, the DRECT which is based on "that" high end Californian sound and the guys then talk about some of their favorite amps and Brian gets instant GAS. 

There was an early leak of a pedal and the guys skirt around it rapidly before reflecting on the sad news that Dickie Betts from the Allman brothers had passed away. There was a recent article about how male dominated the guitar world was and the guys dig in to it and on the way Richard discovered a new artist to get into. And it isn't that "Snake Guy"

British Shorts Time, Mesa Boogie Stiletto, AI rant,  ENGL Ironball, Friedman IRX, Joan Armatrading...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 510 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Brian is in a special new place...or not...and apologies are made for his button pressing as a world record is set and we talk about the world's crankiest Englishman. Said Englishman has questions about IEMs and he asks for a reasoned debate and he gets some, and some unreasoned debate. 

Someone threw terrible boomer based accusations and Richard has familial drum machine excitement. Brian and Richard found a tweet relating to Chumbawumba and it made them both giggle muchly and a hero of the week is elected. Do you know what the greatest guitar pedal (yet to be released) is? The guys stumbled upon a series of new guitar pedals and discuss them at length. Brian gives away pedal company secrets.

Fender have come up with an interesting color choice for a limited run release, they also have a new Tom Delonge signature Starcaster, and the guys have split opinions - shock horror! Richard makes some Coke confessions.  Brian lies about lack of GAS and Blake has tax woes.

Elgar, Electric Love, Epi-thief, Ecosystems, Elevation, Extra Jaffa Cake duty...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 509 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Martinsville Lulu meets Portland Grunge and it is all the fault of solar activity as Brian experiences totality and Richard experiences Indianapolis live. The guys discuss their various eclipse experiences and there is some general foolishness all round. Oh boy, it's a wild episode I warn you now.

Brian shows off his cool guitar slide which makes for some unique and riveting audio material and Richard had his head turned by some LED infused guitar picks and a "herb" grinder shaped like a tone pot. He also finds a new style of headstock tuner. Meanwhile our good friends over at Keeley FX have had some pedal name change drama and we speculate upon why despite being bereft of informed or intelligent opinions.

Kiss have sold their back catalogue and the guys discuss the implications of the impending holographic mega tours that may now become a reality. Richard has some news about his potential band which is not called Think Ployd. He has observations and Brian gives some great advice to anyone who's thinking of joining a band...and some barely average advice too. Blake spreads some GAS.

Eclipse news, Cheese shortages, Nutmeg warnings, Curb your enthusiasm, Friedman IR-X...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 508 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

It's podcast day, and Brian has avoided being sucked into a funnel cloud, so we start the episode of with an extra dose of frivolity and nonsensical mutterings. There is camping talk and weather talk and Richard campaigns for moderate weather conditions. Wampler Pedals made a social media post involving Brian's take on the infamous Rockman and the guys chat about how it was created.

There were some great April fool's gags this year and the guys talk about some of their favorites and Blake tells us all about the one he was involved in for Gun Street Wiring. Richard makes an apology. There was a question submitted to the guys about buffers and the guys go deep into the weeds with it, the importance of impedance, and other general nerd topics. Brian redefines important technical terms.

Richard is a little nervous about an upcoming band rehearsal so distracts himself by talking about his pedalboard and the choices he made. Somehow this ends up back at a chat about the Rockman sound again and Brian makes musical impersonations. Blake shows Brian some vintage Bucket Brigade chips and he gets very excited. There's been some controversy with some deepfaking of guitar impresario and UFO enthusiast Rob Chapman and the guys debate it.

Mullets aplenty, Cusack's jacks, Squelch, Harley Benton, Agnes Obel, The Specials  ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 507 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Brian opens up in his own inimitable yet peanut buttery smooth manner and a certain guitarist makes a telephone call to the studio as we open up with some low brow shenanigans and hot takes. Richard has been bowled over by a famous guitarist and gushes lovingly about them before talking about an extreme case of buyers remorse.

Can you listen to instrumental guitar music while working? The guys discuss the fact that they all differ slightly when it comes to music choices while concentrating and this naturally turns into a conversation about boy racers and loud exhausts. Richard has seen an amusing rockumentary TV show and the Brian and Blake immediately dismiss him as an idiot. 

Our buddy Josh over at JHS released a limited edition of the Superbolt and the guys chat about it and some potential customisation options that may or may not make people on the internet angry. There was a report recently about the values of different vintage guitars and so the guys discuss it. Meanwhile Richard had a disappointing update on a piece of hardware and Blake expresses his disappointment by proxy.
 
Yokel and the Dokels, Alison Gardens, Brian Pern, Conspiracy theorists, Paul Gilbert jams...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 506 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

There  is an unharmonious introduction to this episode and Richard finds the weirdest thing to be envious of and Brian admits to ramping up his plugging. Richard was surprised to learn that one of his favorite bands didn't make it big in the US during the lifespan of their lead singer and this leads onto a debate about awesome tones. And Guinness. And Blake's weird sausage based memories.

Brian has been doing a bit of a press work and a couple of his articles and podcasts got spun out of all proportion on the internet - would you believe it? The Internet going crazy? Never. He breaks down what happens via a conversation concerning male pattern baldness. Germanium may get a mention. In a surprising revelation we discover that Brian Wampler doesn't set the rules for the global second hand market.

Have you ever played Fortnite? Well if so you can now go and jam with official Fender instruments in a "Guitar Hero" type sub game and the guys discuss the clever marketing tactics that the big F have employed. Brian wants to put Wampler Pedals into the game.  Richard has a stupid idea about guitar strings and invents the slide-o-matic neck and the guys debate whether they would ever spend $50k on a guitar. 
 
Stick poking, Matey boy, King Flippy, Strange water fixation, the Gibson Theodore, Synyster Gates ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
