Welcome to the Chasing Tone Podcast! Join Brian Wampler, Blake Wyland, Richard Oliver, and other guests as they talk about guitars, guitar pedals, amps, and other guitar gear, answer questions, and discuss all things guitar related as well as how to get the most out of your gear to get the best guitar tone. There will be a healthy dose of off-topic nonsense as well as a look at all things happening in the world of guitar, music, our work at Wampler Pedals, and the music industry in general. If you suffer from G.A.S. or just simply like to listen to gear podcasts, you'll love Chasing Tone.

464 - Soldering irons are dangerous and everyone loves a heavy pedal....
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Blake has been collecting Brians and we discover what on earth this actually means this week in an all new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast! He also has a new pedal from Origin and has fallen in love with it so he spills the beans. Not literally, that would be messy. Meanwhile Brian has a new obsession that leaves Richard distinctly unimpressed.
Richard has been learning about the importance and power of good arrangement in music production and tells us an anecdote or two about what he learned before Brian and Blake break out the cowbells. Richard also tries to convince the guys about the Fender Acoustasonic and may as well be talking to a brick wall so he creates a new sitcom revolving around Brian and his love of patch cables.
Brian admits to some very strange beach habits before tackling the opening topic Richard had prepared, and then steals Richard's idea which almost causes an implosion. He also makes some bold predictions about the future which are possibly insightful. And then the credits. Oh, the credits.
Gordon's alive, Natural born genius, Royal Blood, Hi Ren, Swimming laws...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

463 - The $48,000 Stratocaster and Brian visits Brent Mason in Nashville
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian has been banned from using a certain AI program and Blake has eaten a mighty breakfast which the guys open up with. Meanwhile Brian has been to Nashville - and there is discussion about castles - and he also went to see Brent Mason and ended up one incredibly beautiful Strat better off! The world's least secret proto-type-type gets a mention again while Brian suffers from some serious whammy bar distress.
What sort of tuners do you like on your guitar? The guys have views and they discuss it via the medium of weak family guy references and the Wu-Tang Clan. Meanwhile Blake has been breaking guitar hardware and Brian has been down the 3D printing rabbit hole on Reddit and considers a range of products he could print himself.
Fulltone have announced they are coming back to the market and the guys chat about it and the bubble in prices that happened recently when they announced they were ceasing production. Boss have released a new twin delay pedal, with a special EVH inspired version, and so the guys take a look at it while Brian tells us about how old he is and how he wants to revisit his Strat tossing days.
Robust drinking fellows, Granulated turrets, Underground mushroom cellars, How Brian Djents, Withnail & I, The many temptations of Richard...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

462 - New Soldano amplifier and insubordination!
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Blake is excited about his new clothing purchases and Richard admits to certain middle age features. Welcome to the dad fashion episode. Meanwhile Richard got to visit the studio of McFly and gives us a report on what he found. Mainly guitars. Lovely guitars - and awesome solos too...
Brian's been thinking about Strats again...will this result in a new mini obsession for Captain Wamps? Well lets wait and see...charts may be involved. The boys do well to uphold a new ban on Brian's favoured technology fetishes and Blake tells us all about his incoming new guitar.
Richard made an incredibly foolish bet on the Eurovision song contest and tells us of his observations from the performance including the appearance of a guitar he has never seen before. Brian has found an advert looking for a new musician in Craigslist and is thinking of applying to join the band and the guys look at a large security breach.
The genius of George Lucas, Meteora...Bass?, BA Baracus, Borderline Toxic, Gentle Yanks, the squarest venue in Squaretown ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

461 - John Mayer is using three separate pedalboards on his solo tour?
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian fantasises about British Hulk Hogan as we slip into todays crevice of disorderly and disjointed discussion nuggets. Firstly there is some talk about female vocalists and Brian reveals who his favorite female fronted band is. There is a new CEO at Gibson so the guys talk about what this might mean for such a prestigious and historic brand. Richard drops his greatest / worst (delete as applicable) pun ever.
Blake has a very rare pedal that he is willing to part with for a serious amount of cash and Brian is instructing his staff to hit more pedals with hammers. There has been some paradigm shifting news in the world of DAWs and the guys discuss this and what it means for everyone before arguing over the power of Garageband.
Richard tells us about a secret Eric Clapton gig and wonders why there were not enough guitar solos involved in the coronation of the King. He also has some technical issues and looks to his favorite guitar people for advice. Then Richard gets asked to read the end credits in an American accent and the resulting idiocy gives Blake serious breathing problems due to uncontrollable laughter.
Idiocracy, We love Henning, John Mayer memes, People pleaser strat, Cocking tubes...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

460 - Is Klonageddon upon us?
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Brian makes a confession which disappoints Blake and delights Richard so the episode begins with some serious GAS with an additional helping of buffoonery. This leads into a discussion about DIY guitar building and Blake channels his inner Bruce Dickinson.
According to the internet Blake is a string billionaire and we look into the rumors circulating about his collection of superyachts and Richard gets a well deserved spraying. Richard's been to two gigs this past week too so he tell us how they were and how he was pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised by a number of potentially amusing things.
Have you ever bought a counterfeit pedal ? the guys discuss why thats really not a good thing before looking at the longevity of Klons and repairing gooped pedals in general. The inevitable Ai discussion occurs and there are some scary thoughts and accusations that Richard is an automaton.
Romance scams, Here are the old men, Jake Shears, Dr Wamplers Degooping solution, Unexpected comfortably numb...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

459 - If Johnny Bravo played a guitar, it would be this...
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast which this week has been sponsored by Henning Pauly's new songwriting course!
The guys start off with a little look at how the Cory Wong compressor first came to be with a couple of fond memories of our much missed tone brother Mr. Alex Clay who was integral to the conception of our latest pedal. Blake has been eyeing up new pickup sets and has settled on a brand and asks the guys for advice and almost immediately regrets it.
Richard went to see a movie and tells us all about it - Brian cannot compute - so we start speculating about everyones favorite bazillionaire social media owning rocket melon. Richard has also fallen in love with a new guitar design and almost expires whilst looking at the price of it and Brian dips his toes into the world of MusicMan guitars.
Blake has been listening to Dwight Yoakam and he and Brian reminisce via the medium of Elvis tainted vocal impersonations and bizarre anniversary related thoughts. Inevitably Brian finds a way of shoehorning more AI content in and so does so whilst plotting the ultimate prank and Richard is not convinced...
Piloting tip of the week, Cheese sections, Brian's strat confessions begin, Steamed hats, Peshwari Nan ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Good podcast
Just 3 guys talking about random stuff, sometimes including guitar pedals
Awesome podcast
Good gear talk and funnier than any comedy podcast out there.
Used to be better
Fun guys… but I liked it better when they talked about guitar stuff. 🤷🏻♂️
