  • 531 - Tube based Pedals, Tuna Fuzz, and On-stage Punch ups
    Sep 18 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 531 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Tube based Pedals, Tuna Fuzz, and On-stage Punch ups

    We have a rare musical treat as Brian and Blake serenade our listeners with a country ode to one of Brian's most favorite substances in the world...no not that one...or that one. He got a flat tire and Richard is shocked at his lack of preparation and surprised by a pedalboard with wheels. Richard has also received a brand new pedal and he is very excited by it despite is gargantuan size.

    Richard will be going to the ball! Yes - there is Gilmour news - he can’t contain himself or his vast knowledge of American geography. Brian destroys all his hopes and dreams. Deservedly so too. The guys got a sneak peak at the new Neural DSP Nano Cortex Modeler and chat about it and also the new update to the baby Line 6 pedal. There is unlimited confusion.

    Fender have released a new amplifier in conjunction with Jack White and the guys check it out and are suitably impressed. Would you buy an extended warranty for your gear? The chaps discuss a new concept that Fender seem to be playing with and Brian makes an announcement. There was quite a well covered dispute on stage this week as the members of Janes Addiction threw punches so we close with a brief look at that.

    Claus Grabke, Quality inventions, Omega 3s, Simon Pegg, Hillbilly activities, the Oliverb...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 530 - Brian checks in with uncle Brad and is this the ultimate portable practice rig?
    Sep 11 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 530 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian checks in with uncle Brad and is this the ultimate portable practice rig?

    Brian is in cowboy mode and Blake tells us about his cattle rustling days. Brian tells us about how someone he know likes to try and wrestle sedentary bovine creatures - yes you read that correct. Richard is suspicious. Richard also has views about the new David Gilmour Album, Luck and Strange, and he can't wait to tell us. Brian is not thrilled. But it leads onto an interesting conversation about acrobatics vs feel in guitar playing.

    There was other big news in the music world with the re-emergence of Linkin Park and the guys have a lot of views about this - especially Blake who grew up on their music - and it spins into an interesting and candid conversation about music in general. Somehow the Doors are involved too. The Wampler Tumnus got a little acclaim in a publication and the guys debate this and the mechanics of commercial songwriting.

    Richard has tales of woe and, err, stagnant Guinness and regales us with his germ ridden views and does not invent anything at all. Brian takes an important call from a certain legend of the guitar and goes to an intimate concert and eats world beating hot fudge cake. Finally there is some massive gear news - and Richard is excited.

    Blue Bloods, Rockonteurs, Vince Gill, The Wets, Gibson Victory...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 529 - A legendary Les Paul and the Circle of Wahs
    Sep 4 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 529 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - A legendary Les Paul and the Circle of Wahs

    We open up with an international weather report from the guys and Brian tells us about his mini vacation that saw him make a wild return to nature. Kinda. The big news across the pond is all about Oasis (still) and their ticket prices so the guys debate the policy of surge ticket pricing and supply and demand.

    Do you have an upper limit to how much you would pay for a concert ticket? Blake reached his when he went to see Pantera and Metallica with his kids and he tells us all about it. He has zero regrets. But he did make an interesting observation about the sound dynamics of the venue and breaks it down to the chaps. Brian talks about his home made hearing protection and Blake solicits the views of an audiologist.

    MXR have released another signature pedal and this one has magical powers - or so Richard believes - so the guys discuss this and a rather special Flying Vee. Brian is still in love with his Explorer. Richard had band practice and tells us about this and his new pedalboard. He discussed the problems he had with his amp's distortion, his memory, his love of the Gearbox, and his memory.

    Gilmour tickets, Charlie Benante, Tattooed toddlers, Travis Feaster, Recording idiocy, Germanium JFETS???...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!
