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!Buy the new Cory Wong Compressor HereWe 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

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.

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!Check out Henning's awesome new songwriting course here Buy the new Wampler x Cory Wong Compressor HereWe 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

458 - The Wampler x Cory Wong Compressor pedal is here!
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake kicks off with a demonstration of his new super (annoying) powers (which nauseates Richard immensely) before the guys go straight in to some news from the music and Ai worlds. Someone has managed to make an Ai Kanye and it sounds particularly impressive so the guys debate what this means with their normal levels of detail and insight. Blake has been playing with the new BOSS Gigcaster which despite being used as a torture device against Richard is actually a very neat piece of kit.Wampler Pedals have released a brand new pedal - the all new Wampler x Cory Wong Compressor & Boost - and the guys are excited to talk about it. Richard is proud of his extended April Fool joke and Brian struggles with words. In the words of the super talented Cory Wong, this is not your Dad's compressor - this is an EGO style compressor but also has a great MDX style boost circuit. In a first for Wampler pedals it also sports an "Always on" function and a simultaneously active XLR output so you can go to your recording interface and your amp together. Blake has been to NAMM and tells us about some highlights. The guys are in love with the Binson Mechanical Echorec and chat a little bit about that. Richard makes bad jokes about the hall and some obscure Alan Partridge references before looking at some game-changing hardware that he thinks will change the guitar industry forever.

457 - Every new pedal all at once and the Neural Miku
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake comes in fast and cold with what he describes as a "mini rant" about a shopping experience he had whilst looking for a particular rare pedal and the guys discuss the joys of trying to get ones own money refunded. Meanwhile Richard has discovered that a famous rock band takes sustenance from a very traditional British drink whilst he laments about his lack of NAMM. Somehow Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved. Speaking of NAMM, Brian tells us why he also didn't go this year whilst Blake tells us why he is excited while the guys talk about a plethora of new pedals from a number of manufacturers. Spraying may occur. There is also some sad news from the Oliver household and Richard tells all while Blake manages to cheer him up with a random story. JHS released a new octave fuzz pedal and the guys attempt to talk about it without any knowledge of what they are speaking about - so nothing new there - and Brian mentions that we have a limited amount of quality B-Stock on the Wampler website. There were also some new pedals from Universal Audio which the guys dig and Richard is becoming more American by the minute and also gets so many things wrong but we shall excuse him for once.

456 - Well this is awkward...
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Richard almost accidentally leaked a new pedal on the video version of the show and somehow this leads into a discussion about Chat GPT and pizza. Only one of those topics is worthy of the attention and it isn't the one Brian chooses. We also learn of the nefarious activities of the Welsh Secret Service whilst enjoying an almost intelligent discussion about the internet. Blake's off to NAMM and he is worried about what he may once have said and the guys chat a little bit about this years show and the attendance thereof. He makes some interesting points about the value of the show and Richard laments the fact he has never been despite hating trade shows. Blackstar have released the third in their line of floorboard amps and the guys try and debate it and the market space it sits in and Richard fails to describe his thoughts accurately.  There was big news recently in the world of Marshall amplification and the guys dig into it and what it might mean for the brand moving forward before Richard gives us an update on his band project. Babbage's machine, Gene Hackman, Hot toes, Crate G40, New Synergy 6505 module, Loose goose philosophy, Sega Dreamcast...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.com Support the show

455 - What is a plugin? it's the final part of the DAW deep diversion!
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake has got some new toys and it causes much annoyance to Richard within 60 seconds and this in turn leads to irregular vitamin suspicions and a tale of Blake's Grandfather's Mexican shopping adventures.  Meanwhile Brian has established what day it is and Richard schools him in the ways of time traveling and 90's rave moves.It is the final part of the DAW deep dive and it starts off with a disclaimer about terminology and professionalism in journalism. Brian then goes into the nature of Reverb and plugins and IRs and talks about using it in a recording environment a little before telling us about some Wampler Pedals that he are available from IK multimedia.  There is some exclusive plugin news and Blake has a neat hack for increasing your ability to add effects to tracks in your DAW. Richard then manages to confuse himself by multitasking and gets various things wrong multiple times.There were some leaked pedals which the guys discuss and pay particular attention to a control choice. Gibson have launched an expensive tribute to the original "Greeny" Les Paul and a friend of the show has bought one which leads to some silly product placement and a discussion about why it actually represents great value for money.Tetra high cannibal, Alien abductions, Morley volume pedals, Red Leicester, Dirty pot...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

454 - Who's a Bad Monkey and part two of our deep(ish) DAW dive
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian has been burning the candle at both ends as they say as he has been working on number of new circuits. This leads the guys onto a discussion about a certain green simian themed pedal that has been literally meme'd to death. There has also been a lot of slightly dubious information circulating the interwebs about the circuit design of this particular pedal so Brian breaks it down and gives us a look at what made this pedal different. Brent Mason is being inducted into a very prestigious event and Brian has been asked to pick out his favorite songs and it has caused his brain to melt and provokes Blake and Brian into some very bizarre a capella guitar stylings. Richard does his best to ignore and tells us a little about some playing he's been enjoying. Finally the guys get onto Part Two of the deep dive into DAWs and Richard immediately goes down the wrong path. They guys correct him and start off by talking about miking up a guitar and recording into a DAW and Brian gives us a few choice tips on placement, phasing, and mullets. Richard lets us in on his delay secrets and also offers practical tips for not frying your cpu.

453 - Deep Dive into DAWs - Part 1
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Richard suffered some time travelling issues as he rolled into this show and feels a new affinity with his American chums as a result. Brian, on the other hand, goes political again and Blake indulges in some Anglophobic aquatic hate speech before announcing his undying love for a new piece of gear.Brian has to write a lot of "Q"s and the guys are suspicious about his motivations for doing so and of course Chat GPT comes back in to focus. Richard has been learning about how some educational establishments are tackling the growing problem of Chat GPT teaching and Brian quickly dismissed his views.  There was a message from a listener this week (Thanks Nick) which asked whether the guys would have a little dive into the world of DAWs and guitar recording so the guys attempt to do just that with mixed results. This episode feels extremely on topic. Must be something in the water. Oh look Richard messed up another initialism, business as normal then.Tropical fish capacitors, Ai generated podcasts, Bill Microsoft, Fungi, Focuswangler 2000, Lemon Curry?...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

452 - The Fastest New Guitar Day ever?
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian advises that Blake should isolate himself in the shred shed as he appears to have developed several interesting strains of virus in his household, and is then amazed at the girth of baritone strings. This leads into some admiration of the current Squier range and Baritone scale length discussion. Brian then goes into a mysterious black hole and Richard does his best to rescue him but fails miserably as it degenerates into a local politics discussion. Richard has bought a new guitar - and the time it took from telling Brian and Blake it existed to buying it was a new show record. He's changed his mind about reliced guitars and Brian manages to drag the conversation back to the gutter. There is also some discussion about the new Marshall pedal reissue range, including Brian breaking down part of the schematic, and he also gets called out in public.Brian has been educating Richard on amp setup with predictably amusing results before attempting to do an a cappella tap solo.  Meanwhile Blake ponders whether Dave Grohl is the nicest man in music. He's certainly up there. Like the UFO that Richard saw. Yes you read that right. Theres also some talk about the weird emotions that one goes through when selling a guitar.  Monstrous swords, Mallard updates, Lying Ai, Time travel conundrums, Qunintruple denim, the court of the crimson king,...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

Blake's also been working a new harmonizer pedal with Mr. Black and tells us all about it while Brian yells at clouds before breaking down some facts about the Tennessee Twanger. JHS released some new fuzzes and a battery sag utility pedal and the guys talk about it despite horrendous lag before looking at other random pedals. Brian laments the difficulties of pedal naming and Richard points out a problem he's come across more than once. Blake has found a new favorite frequency with some practical results and tells us all about it. Why do we stop exploring new music as we get older? The guys talk about an article that breaks down some of the reasons we may have for looking to new music more in certain parts of our life.

Welcome to Chasing Tone!Blake has his new Tube Amp expander and the guys talk about this and some battery powered tomfoolery too.  If Brian can put a switch and a blue LED on it, he's definitely gonna be doing it.  Richard wants a new pedalboard and has some wood envy and the guys look into how to fix this.  Have you ever wondered how much money guitar players actually make?

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!The saga of Brian's use of Chat GPT to avoid him ever having to communicate with other human beings continues, much to the annoyance of Richard, and the guys look at the issue of who owns the intellectual property to AI generated material.  There was also an interesting article about the state of the music industry and the revenues of each form which the guys take a look at before tackling the recent Superbowl half time show. Richard has learnt something about the production of a classic 1970's song and it blew his mind, but before he tells Brian and Blake about it, he first has to teach Brian about the song.  He also reveals a terrible fact about the band's name before moving on to the gift that keeps giving, the ongoing saga of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters.Marshall are re-releasing a bunch of pedals, including the Bluesbreaker and the Guv'nor, so the guys break down the news and Brian inevitably returns at Chat GPT for answers.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian is a blowing in the wind melodiously as we start this episode with some good ole' fashioned brain foggery and he admits to one common mistake that people make when building DIY pedals. By people he means him. Meanwhile Blake has been reaching stereo tonal nirvana thanks to his new Wampler Pedal.Richard is unwell again with round 2 of the winterflu and looks at the twitter war between Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and David Gilmour's wife and writing partner, Polly Samson. Somehow this also involves Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. Richard also rants off about unsubstantiated personal views that are in no way endorsed by the podcast and he makes some highly idiotic statements before revealing a shocking secret that he instantly regrets. Brian has invented a new cryptocurrency and the guys need convincing to a degree. Meanwhile Blake lets us in to an industry secret involving Mr. Dumble and why he wouldn't be part of a cashless society.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!We get off to a good start when Brian plays the wrong theme tune, it's only gonna get worse I assure you...we also livestreamed this episode with mixed results so if you want to hear Richard without the chipmunk voice, this is the place to be. There was a leak of a Strymon pedal this week and the chaps talk about it - there are some mixed views. There was also a peak at the new IK Multimedia AmpliTube Tonex and the guys also talk about it and Blake has had a sneak peak at the software. Blimey guv'nor, thats almost on topic! Google have been making Ai generated elevator music and the guys have views - also Richard may or may not be a massive liar - and the debate on AI rumbles on. Sarah Connor?  Richard also discovered the backstory behind the John Lydon Eurovision attempt and it was not what he expected - he feels guilty for being so judgemental, but why change the habit of a lifetime?

446 - Johnny Depp will not be here in a minute
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Our glorious leader has returned from his sickly malaise and although he is not quite firing on all cylinders he is at least  semi-coherent.  He has discovered some unusual effects from his illness though and opens up with some interesting observations about how his playing has changed as a result. You may have seen a little bit of controversy over the recent Pink Floyd (take a shot, spray yourself etc.) logo redesign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It is possibly the dumbest story that the guys have discussed but discuss it they do! I wish Debs hadn't left me...Blake weeps for humanity as we dissect some of the comments that the internet has churned up. I'm just going to say that if you are playing the Pink Floyd drinking game, you will want to choose something very low in alcohol...Meanwhile in the Shred Shed, Blake has been recording some heavy sounds with his children and tells us all about his new career as a music mogul. He's also had a new (old) amp day experience and he is a little excited by it as we discover and then the conversation focuses on the Boss Tube Amp Expander as an adjunct to our conversation on attenuators.  Do you like tone knobs on your guitars? Are they essential?  The guys debate this important subject via the medium of Spice analysis, and there is no spraying!

445 - Error! Brian Wampler not found, press CTRL + ALT + GAIN
Blake and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast - I'm sure someone is missing here...Brian is feeling a little under the weather (to put it mildly) so Blake and Richard try and persevere whilst hoping the Indiana goat overlord recovers quickly. There will be much silliness. There will also be some sadness and very raw emotions as the guys react to the news that Jeff Beck passed away just hours prior to recording this show.  Richard may say a few minor swears too - fair warning issued.  Blake has got a new Amp in a Pedal and he is blown away by it, and tells us all about it in glorious detail.  Somehow this turns into a conversation about back massages and soldering irons. Richard has noticed a raise in the price of a guitar he purchased for someone and it has excited him - has he finally bought something that will go up in value ?  Richard has overdosed on UAP videos and it mixed with the hallucinations his illness brought on and tells us about it before salivating over the new Fender gold foil pickup equipped guitars.  He also comes up with a new Mandela effect suggestion and blows his own mind. It wasn't difficult. Then the guys chat about Henning's Gear Island and speculate on what's next...

444 - What's the difference between an attenuator and a master volume box?
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Despite thinking it was a minor tickle, Richard has been suffering with weeks of illness, and the guys experiment with recording the podcast's video - and with mixed results. How much banana is required to power a distortion pedal? This crucial question is at the forefront of the guy's minds - well, kinda.Do you practice standing up or sitting? Brian wonders how he could possibly swing a Stratocaster around his neck from a seated position and there is some debate about optimal strap displacement theory. There is also a question about what happens when you take long breaks from guitar playing and some interesting points from experience are discussed. Brian has a requirement for a custom shaped thumb-pick and Richard and he came up with an alternative solution that may or may not (definitely may not) change the world as we know it.  Have you ever performed extreme winter sports while being dressed in a foolish costume? Blake has, and you are not going to want to miss this story. Do you use an attenuator or a master volume pedal in your rig? Brian breaks down the differences between the two...Nuno Bettencourt, The state fruit of Indiana, Kramer Triax, Boss SL2 Slicer, Pokemon, The Chatterless Shartzard, Costco pizza wars...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
