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!

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!

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!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 517 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Welcome to late night module talk with Brian Wampler....no - wait that is another show...and Blake makes some extreme Sasquatch related confessions. Meanwhile Richard has a new hat and it is magnificent. Well, maybe it isn't but he loves it. He is also having middle aged band related problems and he shares them with us all.

The guys look at 1980's style guitars and weigh up the differences between the main contenders - Charvel, Jackson, Ibanez...and Kramer. What's the correct number of pickups on a guitar for you? The guys don't know which way they fall on this - seemingly they simultaneously want one or three pickups - and Brian manages to steer the conversation to the guitar he wants.

Richard has a new amplifier from the fine chaps at ENGL and he is very happy and tells us all about it and Brian is not impressed with something Richard suggests and makes his feelings known before wondering if this maybe one of the greatest amps in the World? Richard gets confused by the special special edition. Blake has some industry news about a well known brand and Richard butchers greek mythology.

Bigfoot, Norman Rumormill, Right Said Fred, The Hummus League, Rattlesnake cables, ENGL Ironball SE...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 516 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Brian welcomes us all to a different podcast and Richard question's reality as we roll in hot this week. Brian is also geeking over the Ernie Ball Axis and he is close to pulling the trigger and tells us all about his bending technique and questions Richard's pronunciation.

Would you take a different stage name as a performer? The guys chat about this before invoking some painful memories and discussing the rarest record ever made. Paul Reed Smith has defended his products from critics and the guys discuss the merits of PRS guitars. Richard has a terrible business idea and Blake does not want to go down a dark path.

Blake has some useful guitar case storage tips and also reports on his vermin and wildlife situation before debating home made Laser weapons. Take a sip in advance. Meanwhile Richard went to a reunion of the legendary Iron Horse pub and discusses what made it so special. Blake is filled with a mighty need. Brian makes a big mistake and nearly reveals something. Richard swears about 5 star.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 515 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Blake is back from his cross-country vacation and he has tales to tell and the guys are almost approaching normality. The Wampler Mofetta has been a hit with fans of "amp -like" pedals and Brian tells us why he loves it and Richard tells us about the origin of the name and the design. Wrestling celebrities may be involved.

Brian has been compelled to purchase a new amplifier and it has taken him by surprise and leads on to a discussion about branding and markets. Somehow lightsabers and a nuclear bunker near Stone Henge are involved. Blake has been to Dollywood and Richard is intrigued and amused what this entails. Blake also saw a famous haunted guitar.

Richard has an idea to rejuvenate some old pedals and Brian immediately quashes his ideas before discovering that Maddog 20/20 exists. Richard tells us about a minor sports accident and how he discovered the ultimate palm sized travel amplifier setup. Brian asks about the differences between professional in-ear monitors and Apple earbuds and he also has some interesting views about Guitar Center.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by the legendary Jay Leonard J for Episode 514 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

We start off with some exclusive hair clipping tips from the super talented Jay Leonard J and this eventually turns into a discussion about gain clipping and Wampler's latest release, the Wampler Mofetta. Brian had an idea one day. He loved the Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion but wondered what would happen if he used MOSFETS for clipping. The Mofetta is the culmination of his rumination!

Brian asks Jay about his creative process when it comes to pedal demos and he gives us an awesome candid insight into his flow. Is the Tubescreamer the ultimate wingman pedal? Jay thinks so and has a compelling case to consider and Blake is in an educating mood. Are you a fan of the Beach Boys? A number of cool products were released in the last week that were officially licensed by the Beach Boys and the guys discuss them.

Richard asks Jay about his musical career and he tells us a wonderful tale of how it all began with a special guitar. Jay takes us on an international journey with his early career before he tells us about how an unconventional piece of equipment became part of his demo rig and how he became a stunt double for the top martial artist in Hong Kong.

You are not going to want to miss this episode, Jay is hilarious and hugely interesting, and he joins us on Patreon too for some amazing stories that involve international diplomatic peril!

Shaving heads, Brian is awesome, Blake is a heathen, Richard Rants, Baby monitors, Album release news, Velvet Fuzz...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Brian, Max, and Richard are back for Episode 513 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

Our good buddy Max is back once again, as Blake is out of town on important string business, and he has a new job which causes some speculation before the guys chat about the gear they have been gassing over. Richard attempts to describe a form of small British boat and Brian is most confused by both Richard and Artificial Intelligence.

David Gilmour is going on tour and the British King of Fuzz tries to get tickets - and this leads to a discussion about ticket prices, free pedals, and naughty romps. Richard has been sent a pedal as a gift from an old friend and tells us all about it and he also has a theory about the re-release of a certain pedal. He is of course wrong.

Max and Brian discuss the classic Danelectro pedals and reflect on the used market for them and Richard has fallen in love with the new Thorpy FX WOPR purely for aesthetic reasons. Do you use an attenuator with your amplifier? The guys discuss the pros and cons of a few different models. Richard grills Max for dirt on Brian.
