Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Richard finally caught the Covid, he obviously doesn't have enough MetalZones in his arm, and he has lost his taste completely...and thats why he now likes Bro Country...but apologies in advance for everything he says as some of his brain cells appear to have deteriorated. Brian's made a new Tik Tok and he is mightily upset that a certain someone hasn't watched it yet.Unless you have been living under a rock, you may have seen that Kate Bush has climbed the charts  in various countries as a result of Stranger Things and Richard tests Brian's Kate Bush knowledge and unsurprisingly, it is lacking. There is Gilmour content...and Dokken rebuttals - you know the drill...and the discussion finally turns to gatekeeping, music, and internet folk.Were you recently Rick Rolled by Blake? If so you may be entitled to compensation. Call 1-555-BLAKEROLL to claim your free piece of Oregon cheese as compensation. Please note cheese may have been partially eaten by the time you claim and no promise to deliver cheese is made. Have you got a guitar made out of food? Why not! The guys find a luthier that specialises in it and discuss this.   The Outlaws, Fishermans friends, The Clergy daughters, The Gear Page, that one guy who hates all our fonts, Freedom rock, Blake Hogan, Benny Franko from New Jersey and his Glass Armonica...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Merch and DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!What's kinda green and covered in lights? It's not a Christmas tree that's for sure. Brian has new toys and he has been analysing them in the manner that only Brian can and gives us his unadulterated views. Richard has learned a bit about early effects and is keen to share his findings like an over eager but slightly warped and demented puppy dog. NAMM has happened and there have been so many gear releases that the guys struggle to talk about them all - but by golly they try - despite floppiness of aspiration. The dynamic this year was different so there is some earnest analysis of whether or not NAMM needs a rethink and Brian has an idea. Uh oh. Richard has had the saddest burger he ever ate and it made him very upset. Also, there are some rumors about a certain PRS guitar that Brian is very interested in... Both Blake and Richard have been to see some live music and try to  tell us their tales but get waylaid multiple times on the way.  But eventually we get there, and Richard talks about his renewed love for Queen having seen them live in London and it's fair to say he was blown away, and as a result, he has bought some new gear...Blake's moveable ceiling, I've got a plugin for that, Relic stickers, Plummaging, The two notes Gnome, Brian's release date faux pas ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian tells us how he wants to kill more trees but before he does he's gonna buy a cheap knock off James Burton telecaster while Richard contemplate's opening up his own version of Ali Express.  Elsewhere in the world of gear there has been the settling of an infamous law suit and the guys break this down into great and meticulous detail before figuring out they are all just as clueless as previously before Richard suggests a carpentry based solution.Blackstar have released a new range of amplifiers with amazing lightweight designs and Richard is very confused about the type of wood it is made from. He also finds the electronics intriguing and Brian has to dig deep. Blake has been using some percussion techniques with an empty pedal box and tells us all about it whilst also doing the most disturbing impression we have ever featured on this show. You have been warned. NAMM is happening! The guys talk about some of the changes they have noticed with the email marketing and wonder whether it has anything to do with the numbers of attendees.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake has been hanging out in Nashville and got to go visit the Gibson Garage with none other than Mark Agnesi himself - all thanks to a very generous hook up from one of the internet's fluffiest trolls - and he played a very valuable guitar. He also schools the double entendre dispatching Richard in some basic guitar construction history and gives us a bit of a look behind the scenes with some antiquities from Gibson's past.Richard took his daughter to see My Chemical Romance and while he was not cool enough to watch the band, he did indulge in some fine Punjabi cuisine and it made him very very happy. He also asks the time honored question of which is harder to play - the drums or the guitar?  Brian and Blake have views and they share their experience. Brian then drops the earth shattering news that he has gone to the Dark Side and is looking into some modelling options. Digital modelling, not fashion modelling I hasten to add. He's ordered a new toy and he has plans - is the world coming to an end? Is this the Bri-pocalypse? Or is this just the Mandela effect in action?

Brian and Richard are joined this week by the Guitar Geek himself, Andy Ferris, for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!We welcome our good friend Andy Ferris this week as Blake has gone to move some heavy machinery in Nashville and so we find out about the Guitar Stories podcast which intriguingly, is about, stories related to the guitar. Meris have released a super cool looking pedal and the guys debate it - wait - thats almost on topic. There has also been a major announcement from Chase Bliss that the guys chew over and Andy gives us an interesting viewpoint or three.  Richard had an amazing experience at the recent Saucerful of Secrets gig where he got to meet one of his lifelong heroes, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, and some other fine folk and he is suitably dumbstruck and impressed with the musicianship, the show, and the aftershow party. Andy is now in a band too and he tells us all about the adventures of Black Velvet Creme whilst Richard fantasises about becoming the new Peter Grant whilst the guys also celebrate the English entry to the Eurovision song contest. Brian asks Andy about his view on the guitar pedal industry and gets his take on the changes since the pandemic and some of the opportunities it opened up.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian's been to a Country (and Western) gig and it has inspired bizarre vocal transformations and we apologize in advance as this goes immediately off the rails. There is some schooling, there is some fooling, but mainly there is some fooling. Brian the reveals a little bit of insight into his connection with one of Garth Brooks' amazing guitarists, Chris Leuzinger, and Richard is taught a little bit more about the finer points of Country and Western styling.Should you ever meet your heroes? Richard asks the question and the guys chat about it before discussing the Grand Ole Opry and Wampler's own Elmo making his mark there.  Richard's also received his new Keeley Moon Op-Amp Fuzz and he is over the, er, moon with the results and waxes lyrical so the guys chat a little bit about Keeley pedals they love. He's also been buying Honey Picks and is a big fan so gives us his views on why they work for him and how they improve his playing.There was a post on a popular internet forum that caused a little furore in the previous week which the guys feel duty-bound to discuss as it hit 40 pages before finally spiralling into oblivion...there is some cleaning up of myths in this bit too which may or may not be slightly ranty...and speaking of rants, its time for the next instalment of Brian's Camper experience...Grape soda, Brian's top hat, Crazy Glue, Pedal dollars, Fruity dreams, the JHS mafia, Dangerous slicey stuff..it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian digs a hole immediately because the whole team is lacking in sleep and this derails into animal based nonsense early doors.  Richard recommended the movie "Metal Lords" to Brian and he kinda liked it. Blake is not convinced so the guys discuss why he needs to re-evaluate his life choices. Brian's been rehearsing with his band and he is loving it but there is definitely an odorous side factor he hadn't bargained for.  He tells us a bit more about his love for G and B-Bender equipped guitars and we have an acoustic player recommendation from Blake.  Richard has been playing with the new Neural DSP Tone King and Soldano SLO-100 plugins in ProTools and he has a question about how to minimise plugin processor utilisation when recording multiple tracks of guitar.Blake's made his first Impulse Response - based off a throwaway comment from Brian - and it is better than he anticipated so we congratulate his mastery of science as he embraces his new IR driven life.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake tears the roof of the sucker as we slide into another week's episode of rambling non-sequiturs and amusing musings whilst Brian dreams about wooden construction and Richard falls off a ladder.  What sort of guitar picks do you swear by? Blake has ordered some fancy laser-cut picks from our good friend Rick over at Honey Picks and tells us why we all need one now but disclaims that he is never 100% accurate...Richard almost manages to keep it clean.The Mandela effect confuses everyone once more before Richard reigns it in and then lets it loose again when he talks about his domestic appliance saga and how he tried to leverage social media to fix his woes.  Elon Musk has been eying up a well known social media platform and the guys weigh in with their entirely uninformed and random views and Brian throws more shade.The Plexi Drive Mini has been out for a while but the guys are still in love with it and talk about why - which leads into a conversation about what makes a pedal react well to a guitar's volume control. Brian refuses to let us into all of his secrets but he does like simians, Robert Keeley was awesome to Richard, and Blake has Coachella related news.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Welcome to the world's premier dot matrix and laser printer related podcast, this week we tackle important subjects like how to shake a toner safely, how to spool 300 feet of paper into an Epson Dot matrix, and Thermal Printers - here to stay or just a fad ? Sorry, my bad, normal service will resume. Richard's been learning some 80s power balladry and the guys chat about it and discover a disturbing cover version and then going off into the weeds immediately and start talking about Tony Hawk and Skateboarding (again) and Richard reveals the inspiration for the Tumnus graphic. Whats the longest you have ever waited for a new Guitar? Blake has been waiting for about a decade (maybe) for his special Epiphone and the guys also take a look at the new signature Joe B amp. Brian's been countrifying more music and he tells us a bit about his methodology whilst simultaneously impersonating Kermit the frog. How many distortions does a person need? Brian has been posing this question so the guys ruminate and conclude it's at least seven. No eight.  Plus one.  And another one maybe. What about stereo distortion - and stereo rigs in general - Brian has views and Blake has some fancy new plugins he is raving about so the guys talk about recording techniques and plugins and all that goodness.Cowboy talk,  Whitesnake, Police Academy, The Stupid Faces, 1975 Gibson Les Pauls, Component Doohickery...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/books Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Richard is giddy with excitement like only an Englishman can't be at the new Pink Floyd release, Brian does his best to ignore everything he says about it, and Blake analyses the Machine Gun Kelly memes. Phews - its all go. Richard also demonstrates an embarrassing lack of knowledge about American sports people and Blake schools him before disappearing mysteriously into the ether.  Some of the greatest players of the guitar have one thing in common and the guys chat about it and share some common views on the subject. Blake then explains why he's not a fan of a particular pedal and Brian is astounded and befuddled. Richard saw the new Tony Hawk documentary and tells Brian about what he saw as they both reminisce about the days they were young and hip enough to skate.Do you believe everything you read on Wikipedia? We found some subtle edits to the Wampler Pedals Wikipedia page which we had to change and it shows just how the gargantuan infobeast operates. Brian believes this to be episode 420, which is erroneous, and neither is it episode 404 as Richard miscalculates (closer though), but it is coming out on 4/20 day so let's hope that confuses absolutely nobody. MAIDEN! Richard is impressed with Ed Sheeran for once, and tells us why.  There are a couple of swears so be warned...its very mild and infrequentWade Boggs, 10,000 Lufttumnuses, Screaming Tubas, The Goatmobile, Richard makes a subtle innuendo, Gear stuff...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/books Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard welcome Ryan Burke from the 60 Cycle Hum podcast for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!The newly shorn Ryan  joins us as we consider the important issues of the day, like Austin Powers and black pudding, whilst Brian cast forth a multitude of scurrilous rumours. Richard and Blake have fallen in love with the new Marshall special edition Mini and this leads to a number of revelations about why Brian walks funny. Is a tractor a truck? What about a lawn mower? Is that a tractor or a truck? These questions need to be answered and the guys debate this with zero research or preparation. Ryan and Richard talk a little bit about the graphic design elements of classic guitar logos and Brian dreams about designing everything in MS Paint.Naming pedals is so hard sometimes so Ryan helps the guys out whilst Blake worries that he has contracted a rare medical condition.  This leads into a concentric circle of non sequiturs, medical speculation, and random conversations that are not even vaguely sensible.  You are not gonna want to miss this episode...Beard Stalking, Flight simulator, The Pantstortion, Graphic design sins, Smoky amps, Jet packs, El Fuzzo Mi Amore, Directional medication...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Mondays are a little rough sometimes...and there was controversy at the Oscars that the guys feel compelled to discuss, including the impact on society and the impact on social media follower numbers such incidents have.  Brian then dreams about cantaloupes and the guys talk about rebuilding from scratch in the light of some incredibly sad news in the music world.  Richard introduces the guys to a new word - Stonking - and Brian refuses to believe it is not a rude word. Irrefutable proof is found in a strange place that involves David Gilmour and Mr Bean. Brian then tackles some good natured criticism he faced from the internet about our discussion on solid state tube replacements and opens up the discussion once more.Classic BOSS Multi Effects pedals - some people love them some people hate them. Richard and Brian chat about which ones they have owned and how they helped them both discover the tones they wanted to get into.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian rewrites Tolkien with an all new character and it is established early on that Brian has some weirdness within him as the guys talk about his new hobby of turning songs into country versions. Blake has been talking to the fine folk over at Chibson and tells us a little bit about the mighty meme wizardry that they produce. Richard is impressed with Mark Tremonti and discusses why the world needs more nice people right now before Brian drops one or two names and then an Eagles based pun fest ensues.Do you like to learn guitar solos note for note? It's not easy to memorize every solo and a lot of players choose not to but Richard makes a point about why sometimes it can be a good idea for pleasing an audience that may not care about your shred speed. Brian is listening to Taylor Childers and his faith in country music is being restored and the guys touch on this before the guys talk about early Rap and Hip-Hop via Brian's hideous vocal stylings. The shortage of vacuum tubes is dominating guitar threads all over the interwebz so the guys discuss the false article about about Joe B manufacturing tubes and the market for tubes for guitarists and high end audiophiles alike.  Line 6 have re-released the classic DL4 delay in a new package and Brian is excited! The price at the time of recording was given as $420 but that was inaccurate however amusing.Also, Gnomespores...Why can't we be friends, Australian pirates, Brians Bells, Nammthrax, CD commitments, Doug.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake's had an odd week and is fatigued but the guys have zero sympathy as they are more worried about the news regarding vacuum tube availability. EHX came out with a statement and the guys chat about their perspective on this before Brian reveals an amazing solid state replacement for tubes as Richard brings up the subject of high end solid state amps. This in turn sends Brian off onto a schematic treasure hunt...Brian gets excited about the prospect of a Scotch egg and Richard tries to convince him that Special Brew is something he wants to try. The guys then discuss a solar powered guitar pedal before discussing the effects of the power crisis on the production of certain herbal substances. Blake has been wearing an Anti-negativity helmet as he has been privileged to demo the new Aquabats pedal and Richard wants one. The guys then talk about plugins and DAWs a bit more and Blake has a secret.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by special guest Katie Zaccardi for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!We wanted to give all our listeners a little gift for our 400th show so we asked the hugely knowledgeable and inspirational Katie Zaccardi to join us and tell us a little bit about herself, about her career, and give us some insight into marketing a music act in the age of Web 3.0 (ugh), social media, and viral videos. Once again, Brian will indulge in some TikTalkery. But not an inappropriate amount.  Katie tells us about her career and her journey to date and how she found her niche after spending some time in the world of app development and yoga (no goat yoga yet though...). Initially focusing on helping women in music, Katie has words that will resonate with everyone who has ever thought about taking their music to the next level, and you are not going to want to miss this episode. Has the landscape changed for an artist these days, and what about the mechanisms with which an artist makes money? Sure they have, and if we don't adapt, we may get left behind -  yesterday is a lonely city! Is art content or is content art. Brian ponders this question in real time and you can practically hear the diodes inside his robot brain light up.  Social media hatred, Flossing, Karen central, Myspace, Richard's guitar playing dog...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Find out more about Katie and her work here:https://www.katiezaccardi.com/We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake is having issues with his computer peripherals so has jumped onto the TikTok train temporarily and so the guys open up the conversation with more algorithm analysis and other random TikTalkery, This then develops into a conversation about Blake's new camera and cameras in general before the guys figure out this is a guitar podcast. Well, kinda. Our buddy Josh at JHS has launched a new pedal and he sent one to Brian and Brian is very happy about this so the guys dig in and Blake educates Brian about how to get the best out of it. This leads the guys into a chat about gain pedals and stacking and Richard tells us about how he likes to save something back before Brian admits to having a crush on Ryan Burke's beard.Brian has bought himself a new amp, a BOSS Katana head, which he thought he bought before but was mistaken.  He gives his views and expertise on it so far but hasn't quite figured exactly what he feels about it yet.

The guys talk about a stalwart of wall warts, the Truetone 1-Spot and Brian admits to the occasional daisy-chain violation. The conversation turns to the world of power supplies and Brian and Blake grace us with some amazing audio impersonations that you definitely won't want to miss. Sorry. Will want to miss. Yeah thats it. David Crosby has being saying stuff about Spotify and Blake is not happy about it and tells us why and the guys chat about it at length.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian's been hanging out with Cory Wong and tells us a bit about it,  the hip and happening part of Indianapolis that he got to visit, and why he loves sound checks more than actual concerts. Meanwhile in merry olde England, Richard tried to watch the Superbowl and is less informed about the rules of football than he was before, but he did enjoy the half time show.  Of course we discuss the Silver Silver Sky too, and get treated to Brian and Blake rapping in unison. Treated, yes, thats the word I meant to use. Richard's been playing around with Protools again and he got Antares Autotune and is blown away by how powerful that plugin is. Brian has some plugin related views and the guys chat a little bit about production with a DAW before Richard challenges a seemingly innocent word and then they go off into the sea weeds.Blake's pizza themed pedal, the Big Ear Slice of Pie, has finally been officially released, and he talks a bit about it. It's a work of art and indeed a veritable  labor of love as it took quite a long time to get all the details correct despite not being able to mist the box with pizza aromas. Mmm...Cheesy.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Firstly, an apology. We tried something on this episode and it didn't work. Consequently the people who are responsible for this atrocity have been fired. And the people responsible for hiring and subsequently firing them have also been fired as a precaution.  We apologise most profusely and it wont happen again.   Richard has a few minor but controversial rants after not feeling the love on various internet forums and Brian finds this most amusing as he taunts Richard from the security of his fortress of polystyrene. This serves us right for recording on a Monday. Never again. Have you ever taken an inordinate amount of time to learn a piece on the guitar? Richard mentions the Failure to Fracture blog and then dives off in a completely different direction before we discover that Blake has been unwell and not just in the brain.Brian is obsessed with making every band sound like Nickleback and he tells us why. Well kinda.  Its all about riding the Tik Tok train and not engaging in the meme wars! But if you are getting into a war, you are going to want the Martinsville Terror, aka Billy Bob Wampler on your side. Mr. Tic Tac, Chestweasles, Brian's adult stories, Phil Collins' worst album, The Silver Sky, Eddie Vedder...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast) DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/books Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined this week by Phillip Carter, the host of the 40 Watt Podcast, for an all-new episode of Chasing Tone!If you haven't yet heard the 40 Watt Podcast you really should - Phillip is an awesome musician and a great interviewer and his shows are well worth checking out. He joins us this week and almost certainly regrets it immediately. Richard attempts really hard to stop his fellow hosts talking about NAMM because he feels left out and, well, he fails.  So we chat a lot about the NAMM show, guitar shows in general, leather quantification, and Richard gets a well needed 40 winks. TikTok is Brian's new hobby. He spends upwards of 21 hours a day dancing in front of a mirror wearing different costumes and he discusses this at length and in great detail with our guest. Phillip has being duetting with Brian, and Richard wonders if it is like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell...or should that be Tammy Wynette ? We then discover some frankly disturbing facts about Brian's mind and his crazy obsessions - and mathematics and NFTs are indeed involved.Have you ever bought a Fender guitar pedal? What did you think ? They have released the new Hammertone pedals and the guys debate  them despite not having had any to play with. Come on Fender, send us some to play, and while you are at it, a few Acoustasonic Jazzmasters wouldn't go amiss. Richard points out that these pedals look very similar to some design work he has seen but can't quite place it...or can he? Then there is pizza, fuzzy, warm, gorgeous pizza pie. Well its a new fuzz pedal from the mind of Blake and the chaps over at Big Ear pedals which got released today. It's sort of an exclusive. Sort of. We're really excited for Blake and the future of Pizza shaped fuzz pedals.I'll get you Blakey, Library conferences, Brian's middle finger, The dot com crash, Hobbits, Deepfakes ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast) DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/books Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWw Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)
