  • 511 - Brian breaks out a surprise pedal and it is smoochie time!
    May 1 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 511 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Brian makes a case for playing with his toys and not throwing them out of his stroller - and gives us a sneaky listen into a new product he is working on. In completely unrelated news, our good buddy Jordan over at Poison Noises has made a new Reverb and Delay pedal and Richard loves the finish he picked for it. This leads Brian to reminisce wistfully.

    Richard asks an important question about knob labeling and the guys debate it momentarily before Richard makes an awkward confession. He also tells us about how sometimes testing pedals can be a bit too enjoyable. Synergy have made a new module, the DRECT which is based on "that" high end Californian sound and the guys then talk about some of their favorite amps and Brian gets instant GAS.

    There was an early leak of a pedal and the guys skirt around it rapidly before reflecting on the sad news that Dickie Betts from the Allman brothers had passed away. There was a recent article about how male dominated the guitar world was and the guys dig in to it and on the way Richard discovered a new artist to get into. And it isn't that "Snake Guy"

    British Shorts Time, Mesa Boogie Stiletto, AI rant, ENGL Ironball, Friedman IRX, Joan Armatrading...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 510 - The amazing Stringboy and the greatest guitar pedal ever?
    Apr 24 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 510 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Brian is in a special new place...or not...and apologies are made for his button pressing as a world record is set and we talk about the world's crankiest Englishman. Said Englishman has questions about IEMs and he asks for a reasoned debate and he gets some, and some unreasoned debate.

    Someone threw terrible boomer based accusations and Richard has familial drum machine excitement. Brian and Richard found a tweet relating to Chumbawumba and it made them both giggle muchly and a hero of the week is elected. Do you know what the greatest guitar pedal (yet to be released) is? The guys stumbled upon a series of new guitar pedals and discuss them at length. Brian gives away pedal company secrets.

    Fender have come up with an interesting color choice for a limited run release, they also have a new Tom Delonge signature Starcaster, and the guys have split opinions - shock horror! Richard makes some Coke confessions. Brian lies about lack of GAS and Blake has tax woes.

    Elgar, Electric Love, Epi-thief, Ecosystems, Elevation, Extra Jaffa Cake duty...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

  • 509 - The other side of the moon - and the mystery watcher returns!
    Apr 17 2024

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 509 of the Chasing Tone Podcast

    Martinsville Lulu meets Portland Grunge and it is all the fault of solar activity as Brian experiences totality and Richard experiences Indianapolis live. The guys discuss their various eclipse experiences and there is some general foolishness all round. Oh boy, it's a wild episode I warn you now.

    Brian shows off his cool guitar slide which makes for some unique and riveting audio material and Richard had his head turned by some LED infused guitar picks and a "herb" grinder shaped like a tone pot. He also finds a new style of headstock tuner. Meanwhile our good friends over at Keeley FX have had some pedal name change drama and we speculate upon why despite being bereft of informed or intelligent opinions.

    Kiss have sold their back catalogue and the guys discuss the implications of the impending holographic mega tours that may now become a reality. Richard has some news about his potential band which is not called Think Ployd. He has observations and Brian gives some great advice to anyone who's thinking of joining a band...and some barely average advice too. Blake spreads some GAS.

    Eclipse news, Cheese shortages, Nutmeg warnings, Curb your enthusiasm, Friedman IR-X...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!
