Today's Object Worship is a chit-chat among hosts about pedals that do "the thing." Andy has a new song he's obsessed with, there's a bit of recent pedal news discussed, but mostly they take voicemails and ponder the question: what is the thing?

Today Object Worship is joined by Angelo Mazzocco and Terry Burton of Meris! Many a Meris pedal has come up in conversation on the cast, so the hosts were glad to welcome two of the company's founders to talk about their music gear journeys. We begin with Terry's Marshall 6100 amp, then discuss Angelo's Ibanez RG570 guitar, and trace various parallels of their development as musicians, tinkerers, and now engineers at the forefront of guitar pedals.

Today our hosts are joined again by Andy Pitcher! Longtime listeners may remember his first appearance discussing the DL-4, and today he returns to discuss his second place object: The Mutt (How To Skateboard And Not Kill Yourself) by Rodney Mullen and Sean Mortimer. They talk about its influence in Andy's adolescence and the new lessons it holds in adult life, many of which manifest in his recent debut solo album, Dot. A number of topics both musical and personal appear along the way, both very heavy and very light - much like the album itself.

Object Worship is BACK! After an unplanned hiatus (make your own pun about being delayed), your hosts return to report on the new Black Fountain Oil Can Delay, which we also call Black Fountain V4, Black Fountain Stereo, or The Final Black Fountain. We're joined again by Brady Smith, cofounder of Old Blood Noise Endeavors, to give some more insight into the delay pedal that even people who don't like delay pedals like. We take some questions, we make some noises, and we just get back into the swing of things.

Your hosts with the most return from a trip to California where many discussions were had about Old Blood's future plans, lunch was had with Wes Borland, and all ended in the Effector Market Anaheim popup. So, they wanted to catch you up and also catch up with you: this one's full of listener voicemails and all about the year ahead.

We return from our holiday break with Tyler Gilmore, who you may know as BlankFor.ms! Tyler is most known as an electronic artist, using tape loops, pedals, synths, and other textural elements to create evocative slow-moving songs. It may surprise the listener, then, that his object is the trumpet! It's the instrument that started it all for him, and we all learn about his journey with it, then away from it, and perhaps back to it? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we talk about the bodily experience of instruments, some different things our listeners bought over the holidays, Andy's rabbithole of servicemen strats, and a lot of other things along the way. Enough reading start listening!

Today we're joined by Sean Mackowski of Tallon Electric. Before the episode, we thought his object was going to be an amp, but as we get into it, we realize it's all about The Noise, his new pedal collaboration with the band Alpha Wolf. We talk about pedal usage in modern medal and heavy music in general, and various approaches to gain, octaves, and momentary bursts of sound. This one's inspired by the new wave of players using pedals as instrumental elements of the heaviest riffs around. Also, Andy and I are taken aback when we find out what band Sean used to be in. It's a fun one, so dive in!

Today’s all about Dark Star! After many cagey teasers, we reveal all about the new pedal and what it means for Old Blood. We take your voicemails, we tell tales of what it took to make the thing, and we get consistently distracted. Hope you like your hosts as much as you like our latest lofi reverb instrument!

That's right, this week it's just your hosts with the mosts talkin ghosts. Just kidding, this episode's pretty low on tricks and treats and frights and whatnot, but we did get some voicemails about spooky gear and we go off on some tangents from there. We're pretty confident this is the only podcast in the world that links discussion of what makes for a scary sound with the specifics of the treadle action on a Danelectro Shift Daddy, so if that's up your alley, boy have you landed in the right place. We also talk about dreams and other inevitabilities. Dive in!

Today we're joined by Chris Benson of Benson Amps. We're catching up with him after a busy year of releases and Benson Fest, and talking with him about the Bogen Challenger PA that became the first Monarch. This one's a casual conversation, where we take roughly an hour before we get to the object, distracted along the way by discussion of how we interact with the internet, breaking assumptions about the sound of any given component, taking time to play the devices we've created, hot soldering, and getting some absolute gems of wisdom from Chris. It's a great time with our favorite amp builder, now dive on in!
