  • 520 - The Birthday Roast of Brian Wampler and new guitar day!
    Jul 3 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 520 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Our glorious leader has reached a milestone birthday and the chaps kick off by looking back at the Roast video that the team at Wampler put together for him. Richard notes an interesting horological coincidence and Brian gives us his views on aging. In a twist of pure Irony, Brian is struggling to find a compressor, and the guys listen to his tales of woe.

    Have you got any Tube based drive pedals? In a bizarre twist of fate Brian has decide to educate Richard on the best way to get the "Classic" David Gilmour tone and there is some ill advised political commentary as Richard reviews a recent piece of marketing from a political party. Blake has had some unexpected musical adventures and tells us all about it.

    Richard has taken delivery of a lifetime's supply of spices and Brian has a request. He also went to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets with his schoolfriend and gave pedals to the band. This leads onto a discussion about a very high end delay pedal that commands a premium price. There is a very scary AI credit read from RoboBrian.

    Bob Ross, Luggable Computers, Fancy Components, Palm Bay guitars, Siri Threepio, Rockonteurs ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 519 - Why you should always record yourself playing...
    Jun 27 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 519 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Ai has finally gone to far and we have an Ai version of Brian and it causes some emotional distress. Brian also has a rubber device. Richard tells us about his first experience with IRs and IEMs in a band practice scenario. It was a a partial success. Richard also has purchased new gear, has learned some important new lessons, and Brian continues to hellishly rebuke him.

    We've had some really interesting suggestions for 1980's themed shredding guitars and Richard talks about some of the candidates and it provokes reactions from Brian. Brian then makes some gangland confessions. There's a new Fender artist Telecaster and it has caught the guys' attention so they talk about it before revealing some interesting statistical facts about Brian;'s pedalbuilding career.

    What do you think about companies that make completely identical pedals to the original they're based on? There was a release this week that was close to home and the guys all have reactions. David Gilmour released a new track and Richard is a big fan. Take a shot. The guys had a message from the listeners about modern Country music and have some suggestions for artists to listen to.

    The Karate Kid, Westone, Redline BMX, Big Mick, Waylon Jennings, Andy Wood...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 518 - The Power of Fuzz Compels You!
    Jun 19 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 518 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Blake has been standing to work for a long time and it is energizing him so the guys discuss the merits of office furniture. Yes, you read that correctly. This turns into a conversation about how you apply Tolex correctly as Richard thinks about building his own amplifier. Do you wait before you switch on the stand-by switch on your amplifier? The guys ponder this age old question.

    Richard invokes a hellish rebuke from Brian when he tries to convince him that MIDI is the future for amplifier control and a robust and bizarre conversation ensues. Richard has been thinking about digital modelling and Brian is not happy with him, but he and Blake also have some new gear and it somehow involves the Insane Clown Posse. Richard is also worried about taking his favorite combo amplifier to gigs until his personal amp tech intervenes...

    What size pick do you use when you play guitar? This question provokes a variety of responses from the chaps and Brian desires a new sponsorship. Speaking of Brians, Brian May has just made a not particularly surprising announcement about a collaboration with Gibson. Richard makes bizarre confessions about his follicular obsessions. He is a mean and awful person and tries to explain British humor - badly.

    Chair Rugs, Pain and Anguish, Synergy IICP, Rivera Chubster 55, Secret Aardvark, Blue Chip Picks, Guitar Auctions ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Entertaining and Insightful

if you're looking for something completely different to distract you from your daily pandemic drudgery, this is it. The hosts provide interesting historical insights to both gear and music. Love the unscripted, random discussions. Fun!
