The Tone Lounge Podcast

In this episode, Frank and Jonathan have the pleasure to talk to Scott Marquart from Stringjoy LLC. Stringjoy makes very high-quality guitar strings and have gained quite a reputation over the years. They talk about the company's beginnings and how they slowly scaled up the business. Guitar strings are such a daily thing and no one seems to be looking deeper into what it takes to manufacture them, so Scott's insights are really interesting and entertaining at the same time.

In this episode, Frank and Jonathan have the pleasure to talk to Ryan Colgan, who is also known as "The Tone Geek" and runs a website called thetonegeek.com, which is an amazing resource for all things related to John Mayer and his gear collection. Ryan talks about why he started to get obsessed with this topic and also why he decided to share his knowledge. His site also runs a shop, where he sells 1:1 pedal clones of pieces that John Mayer uses (some of them either unobtainable or really expensive), as well as PCBs and faceplates for the DIY community.

In this episode, Frank and Jonathan talk about gear youtubers and their pricing & how it affects which companies can be effective with marketing via Youtube. They also take a moment to appreciate that Behringer continues to not give a sh** about naming their copy of a pedal exactly like the original.

In this episode, Frank and Jonathan explore the differences between some of the original pedal inventors and what builders in this day and age are coming up with. They also talk about the endless copy/repeat behavior of some companies, how others try to hide the fact that they just modded an original unit and why digital is way harder to clone.

In this guest episode, Frank and Jonathan talk to Roman from Shnobel Tone whose Daily Driver has gained a lot of overdrive pedal fans since its first release in early 2020. Although the pedal market has been even more saturated since the pandemic, Shnobel Tone has seen constant growth and managed to keep making pedals the traditional way.

In this episode, Frank and Jonathan talk about the current state of the MI industry, only this time they also pull hard numbers out of two Music Trades issues that take a look at 2023 international MI business and the Q2 trend of the US market.
