Object Worship episodes

April 10 Dave Gill and the Boss PS-5
Today our hosts welcome Dave Gill of Baltimore Sonic Research Institute. Dave is a long-time hog, first time guest, and we have a great time getting into a lot of specifics about Boss pedals, particularly the PS-5 Super Shifter. We ponder the historical arc of Boss' popularity, the different considerations looking at a company that size vs a company like Old Blood vs a company like BSRI, and we reiterate that the best thing about this industry is the people. It's a good hang, and you're invited!

April 03 Blair White and the Rickenbacker 330
Today our hosts welcome Blair White, owner of Eastside Music Supply in Nashville Tennessee. As a stockist and a friend, Blair's history runs in parallel with Old Blood's in a lot of ways, and we talk a lot about what it's like to create a business around the idea that a Nashville guitar store should actually be weird and cool and a good time. We focus the object talk around his Rickenbacker 330, and talk about the many ways he experiences music, whether at the shop, playing out, playing at home, or on the road teching for Adrian Belew.

March 13 Andy and the Roland JC-40
Today our hosts talk about Andy's experience recording with last episode's guest, and his discovery of the Roland JC-40 through that process. An amp that manages to be both a direct-in silent recording solution and an in-the-room tool. We talk about various tonal revelations, and get reminders that sometimes you need the confidence to say this is good and I will now perform well. Also we're both coming off head colds so who knows what we were on about!

February 27 Jeremy SH Griffith and the Reason for Modular
Today our hosts welcome back Jeremy SH Griffith. He's guested, he's guest-hosted, and now he... well we don't know, he's just a friend making great conversation. He has a few objects to talk about, chief among them the Vhikk X Forge-TME, and opens the conversation with a question about objects more broadly: what is the value of a complex hardware setup to a young producer in an in-the-box world?

February 20 Experiments in Gear
Today our hosts discuss experiments in gear: those times where you buy something, experience or learn something new with it, then realize it is no longer for you. They revisit one of Dan's objects of the past, take a lot of calls, and analyze a lot of common thoughts around what drives a gear purchase and, eventually, a gear sale.

February 13 Knobs and the Montreal Assembly Count to 5
Today our hosts are joined by Scott Harper, aka Knobs. Scott is a quiet figure who's had great influence in the world of effects pedal demos, bringing depth, fun, and true knowledge of the product to his presentations. He's also been creatively involved in bringing to light some modern classics from Chase Bliss, like MOOD and Blooper. Today we talk about the weirdo delay microlooper that marks a turning point in his journey, as well as many of ours: the Montreal Assembly Count to 5. There's also one and a half minutes of fountain pen conversation, and etc.

February 06 Emily, Russ, and Parting
Today, our hosts welcome Emily Hopkins and Russ back to the show to discuss the newest Old Blood Noise Endeavors pedal, Parting! They were the creative force behind it, and have a lot of tales to tell about working with Dan to create, hone, and fully realize the vision of this glitchy and wondrous object. There's a lot of behind the scenes product development talk, and then some voicemails for good measure.

January 16 The Spin Semiconductor FV-1
Today, our hosts discuss the Spin Semiconductor FV-1, the chip at the heart of many digital pedals from the boutique pedal boom. They talk about what makes it special, both in strengths and weaknesses, and how key it was to Dan's arc as a pedal creator. Listen, enjoy, and ask yourself: is this really cool pedal made with an FV-1?

January 09 Tom Cosm and the Nintendo Game Boy
Today, our hosts are joined by Tom Cosm, electronic musician and technical director of Telepathic Instruments. We talk about the beauty of music composed on the highly limited computing devices of yesteryear, and ways those workflows are still inspiring to this day. We get a bit of insight into the musician, producer, and tinkerer that is Tom Cosm, as well as the device he's been developing over the last five years, the Orchid ideas machine.
