Hold onto your air guitars, because Big Shiny Tones is the podcast equivalent of a glitter-bombed boombox cranked to 11! Hosted by Jay Leonard J and Jonathan Lindsay. This show's got more pizzazz than a keytar solo at a roller rink. They're out here yeeting musical wisdom like it's a clearance sale on kazoos, probably debating if a ukulele is just a guitar that skipped leg day. Launched on YouTube (@tapestrymusicshop) with a premiere on August 26, 2025. Check it out!

    THE GREATEST WHAMMY BAR OF ALL TIME 🎸 BIG SHINY TONES #jayleonardj

    Big Shiny Tones dives headfirst into the beautiful, unstable world of guitar tremolos. Vintage, modern, floating, decked, locked, half-broken and held together by hope — if it makes your pitch wobble, we’re talking about it. Some trems stay in tune. Some absolutely do not. All of them have opinions.We’re not here to crown a winner. We’re here to yank on the bar, ignore the manual, and find out which trems actually inspire riffs… and which ones just inspire regret.

    Special Guest: Carlo Redl 🎸 BIG SHINY TONES

    The Line 6 Helix Stadium XL is back and flexing harder than a prog drummer in 7/8, the Jacob Collier GS Mini 5-String is out here bending physics and feelings, and Rigs On Trial returns with a spicy community submission from @Heni_Jimdrix. Plus, we’re unleashing the Tube Screamer of the Day—don’t ask which one, it’s probably the wrong one and that’s the point. And bringing this whole circus together is Carlo Redl, armed with the smoothest voice in the room and guitar grooves so cool they should probably come with a wind chill warning. So, get ready, buckle up and faceplant into tone paradise.
