Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 595 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian gets a new pedal and what advice got you through your first gig?

Richard is about to play his first real guitar gig and he is somewhat nervous, so the guys give him advice on how to make it though like a pro. There is plenty of actual advice for a gig novice and there are also amusing stories and many red herrings. Somehow a new pedal is invented.

Speaking of pedals, Brian has got a new pedal that he has never owned before and he digs into what he likes about - it much to his surprise. He also tells us about his new best friend on the Internet and there is a terrible confession from one of the guys. There is also more talk about aliens.

Blake has been pumping iron and Richard is turning more American while there has been a new Badder Monkey pedal and the guys go bananas about it. Richard patents True Bypass. Brian has mullet advice.

Overthinking, Cuddly Toy, Timmy Tumnus, Back to the Future, The Darkness. James Penguin...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 594 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian breaks the Internet as Wampler debut The Compulsion Drive

Brian has turned into Pedal Santa and Richard has been making new friends by daring to try something experimental on the Internet and the guys discuss it. Fair warning - there may be some ranting as there was a bit of a pile-on and our intrepid British King of Fuzz had to fight them off at the drawbridge (insert trumpet sound here). 

Wampler released The Compulsion Drive (TCD) which was Brian's tribute to a famous circuit and it has proved very popular for a number of reasons. The guys discuss some of the modifications Brian made, the special not-so-hidden dip-switches, and talk a little about some of the design choices that were made. 

Ozzy Osbourne's estate have put out a T-shirt that made the guys giggle in a puerile way and so it needs to be discussed. Meanwhile Josh Scott of JHS has been working on a new charity project and it has impressed Richard into sarcasm submission. Fender have launched a new Masterbuilt Dave Murray Strat and it is gorgeous

Richard wishes he was a bot farm, Grizzly Wintergreen, Dog woes, The 2 Daves, Keeley Nocturne, Barry Tone...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 593 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Terrible analogies, Dirty-T, and Brian teases a new pedal release!   

Blake opens up with a revelation about a new pedal and Richard is immediately forced to make a legal disclaimer.  He also has the worst business idea ever and Brian dreams up a new rap name. Fractal engineering have released a new modeling unit and the guys think it is cool but have little else to offer. 

Richard finally got to the bottom of his cartridge based onboard effects idea when he had a communication with one of the leading companies in this field. Do you use wireless monitoring when you play in a band? The guys look at modern radio systems versus wi-fi based systems and Brian schools Richard.

Were you in a band at high school? The guys talk about the difference between British and American schools and there are notable differences. Brian went nostalgic and watched some classic movies while elsewhere there has been big UFO based news. Richard breaks some Brad Paisley news to Brian in an Internet first!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 592 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - What's happening to the price of US guitars, the rise of the robots, and Brian's goth phase  

Blake has a wallet bursting conundrum as not one but two of his favorite bands are on the same bill and he needs help which Brian and Richard are more than happy to not give. Richard bores Brian to near death with Pink Floyd related updates and then talks about his new old music discoveries. 

Richard has AI based concerns and he expresses them via the medium of terrible analogies. Brian is not convinced that he is right but there is a business idea and a possible confession. The horrors persist for Richard as he discusses a brand new release from Gibson and Brian taunts him with emojis. 

There are some language barriers that need to be broken down and there is much confusion. Marshall have released an amp in conjunction with Spinal Tap and Brian ponders the possibilities of an infinitely loud amplifier.

Brian and Richard are back for Episode 591 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Did JHS just break a pedal paradigm and has Brian invented a new type of electric guitar?

Blake has traveled back in time to the land of 56kb Internet so Brian and Richard are back in control. Brian has caught the illness that everyone else has and Richard has a remedy. Did you see the new JHS "Troika" delay pedal? The guys are really keen to discuss some of the unusual and interesting features and design choices. 

Brian drops a hint about something nerdy and circuit related which may or may not be comparable to Netflix. IK Multimedia have released the ToneX in a new format and it inspires the chaps to come up with a whole new product. Richard wishes to bring Brian to Englandshire for Christmas.  

Are gear influencer's not as influential as they once were? With the change in Youtube's algorithms and the shape of the gear industry seeming to have shifted the guys discuss this in the context of a recent video from friend of the show, Henning Pauly. Brian makes a shocking and frankly deeply disturbing guitar announcement.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 590 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian wrecks another guitar and ponders what it is like to be knobyfied!   

Brian once again eschews the uniform requirements for the podcast much to the chagrin of Richard and Blake and he now looks 20% scarier. Dave Mustaine is in the news for covering a Metallica song as a bow out on his final Megadeth album and the guys are all for it. 

Meanwhile Richard is unwell and has discovered his father had a groovy moment in the 1960's which led to the discovery of a new album. A new device called the Knobyfier caught Richard's eye and the guys discuss it whilst trying to avoid the normal grade school jokes. 

Back in Martinsville, Brian has accidentally damaged a guitar and it has bummed him out a little. He drops some major hints about Wampler's next few releases. The guys stumble across a new guitar based phone accessory and they fall in love with it and Brian dreams about owning a tricycle and not giving away billions of dollars. Job's a good 'un.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 589 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian's ears are burning and introducing the Wampler Mini EGO 76

Brian discovers someone has been talking about him and then breaks down a little bit of knowledge about his latest miniature marvel, The Wampler Mini EGO 76 . He also discovers words are difficult when trying to describe pedals. There is some questionable electronics discussion which you should definitely avoid.

The British King of Fuzz is outraged by Strymon borrowing his name for their latest delay pedal but he is worried about the strength and validity of his case. Brian wonders about how amphibians mate again and the guys are concerned. Richard has had some guitar revelations and we pay our respects to the late KISS guitarist Ace Frehley. 

The guys get misty eyed for (checks notes) vintage cell phones and this somehow turns into truck and then car talk before Richard guides it full circle to pedals. Then back to cars again.  How hard can it be to start an electronics component manufacturing company? Inquiring minds need to know!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by a true Six String Legend for Episode 588 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - It's a Trapp! We talk tone, tunes, and teaching with Nashville legend Guthrie Trapp 

Despite some tech issues (we are looking at you Jeff Bezos) the guys are joined by a total Nashville legend and all-round nice guy, Guthrie Trapp, and Brian contemplates whether he needs his Johnson rod adjusted. Guthrie has more stories than Brian has goats and you are going to love this episode as we start off with an honest appraisal of what it takes to really make money out of music. 

Guthrie has a unique way of looking a the guitar and briefly tells us about it before giving us some unique insight into his guitar clinics and Richard's interest is piqued.  This then turns into a conversation about food and then about roots and folk music. And Wales. 

This is a very special episode and we are very grateful to Guthrie for his time. We should mention that there are a few casual swears in this weeks episode so we have marked it Explicit but it is mild and infrequent. 

Billy Gibbons, John Fogerty, Loch Lomand, Battered Mars Bars, Mark Knopfler...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Brian and Richard are back for Episode 587 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Indiana Tones and the Pedalboard of Doom, and Brian has amp advice

Blake has left for a short vacation so Brian and Richard bring the rumpus and it is largely unhinged and tiny rabbits are involved. Wampler are releasing a thing this week and there may or may not be some hints in this episode. Brian has been playing a new pedal-board amp, Richard is keen to look at the box, and Brian is keen to overshare.

Richard has had the perfect Smoke on the Water moment and is excited to tell Brian about it. Meanwhile Brian is nostalgic for skinning audio players and the guys discuss why Led Zeppelin are more popular than Deep Purple with a huge smattering of unsubstantiated claims. Meanwhile, Richard is GASsing for a new guitar...Again.

JHS dropped some exciting new colorways for their recent Notaklon pedal and the guys discuss the nostalgia effect on graphic design. Richard has been watching shows about Nashville and he tells Brian about it and his secret desire to experience line dancing.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 586 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - New Guitar Day, Reverse Headstocks, and the End of Creativity?

Brian accuses Richard of many things but one that cannot be denied is his hypnotic power to make other people buy a guitar. Including you. Yes, you know you want to - treat yourself. Blake has an all new shred machine and he shows it off much to the enjoyment of Brian and Richard. 

Do you ever play a guitar with a reverse headstock? The guys question the benefits and Richard gets very confused. Meanwhile Brian has been digging into the new Synyster Gates amplifier and keys us in with the details. There was a nice completion of a My Chemical Romance related circle when we took a look at their latest rig rundown. 

There was some sad news this week as we learned of the passing of Ken Parker, one of the most innovative guitar builders of all time, so the guys talk about the Parker Fly design briefly. Meanwhile there have been some new Ai developments which the guys are almost duty-bound to discuss.
