Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 571 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Guitar pedals vs. inflation and amazing Brad Paisley facts

Richard has joined the Martinsville Truckers Club thanks to another mysterious gift and tells us terrible tales of his misspent youth. The guys also look at the cost of guitar pedals versus other consumer luxury items and ponder why inflation hasn't hit them the same.

Do you practice different technical aspects of picking when you practice and did you know Brad Paisley is a secret master luthier? This is amongst the random questions burning through Richard and Blake's illness addled minds. Blake also has some aviation facts to share and the guys talk about how to transport guitar gear on a plane.

Pete Thorn is playing a dream gig right now with Satch and Vai and one of his guitars has caught the guys' attention. Brian played a gig and drops a massive hint about what's coming from Wampler. Meanwhile PRS have dropped a very good looking new guitar.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 570 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - A mysterious fuzz appears and is this the worst gig of all time?

We start off with pangolin based connotations and it's honestly not going to get much more intelligent beyond this point. Brian on the other hand has gone back to his carpentry roots and is in pain as a result so perhaps he should join Blake in his new sauna. Richard saw some live music and has observations and has finally completed the Ultimate MIDI Course!

The death of the legendary Brian Wilson had Richard taking a long needed deep dive into the Beach Boys and was very pleasantly surprised and somewhat blown away...Meanwhile our good friend Andy Wood was on the Rick Beato show and the guys all discuss how much they love this before a pick falls out of Richard's beard.

Line 6 have just released a new modeler and the guys feign vague interest. Brian may or may not be about to play a gig in the nude and Richard has suggestions for avoiding injury and has been sent a mysterious fuzz. Brian has fallen in love with a vintage Marshall...

Pulp, Mini horses, The days of innocence, Neighbor Tom, Back in Black...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 569 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Don't touch Mr Frost's Muff and Brian makes a huge confession

Good Morning tonechasers! Brian van Winkel has aroused himself from his slumber and he is suffering from a severe case of builders' crack but has invented the successor to MTV so all is well. Do you enjoy making music? Some Ai feller thinks that the fun is not in the playing and the guys rage apoplectic at this outrageous notion.

Brian tries to describe a famous cryptid and fails and the irony is observed. The rise of Ai videos has got the guys worried (again) so Richard asks the machine what Brian thinks about Pink Floyd...and he makes a huge surprise confession! Richard is sad about the death of Sly Stone and pays tribute to one of his favorite musical bandleaders of all time.

Should Wampler make a new tweaked Tumnus? There was a post in the Wampler Facebook group and Richard challenges Brian with the idea. Richard has an idea for a new video series and Blake is not impressed as he repeats his explanations. He has also has visited the worst pub in the world and tells us about it. Blake is excited by the Wigan kebab.

Kirk Hammett's secret sales, Zappa, Thierry Henry, The Tumnus company, Holy Holy, Scotch Eggs, Roadhouse Blues...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 568 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - In the court of the crimson Klon and everyone has a Tubescreamer, right?

The band is back together as Brian returns to the recording studio and Richard has some ice cream tips for cannibals and a returning finger pain. He has a new pedal idea for a compact board and the guys tear him a new one...Meanwhile the Earthquaker story got on to the mainstream news and Blake uses a big word. Twice!

There was big pedal news just before we recorded as pedal legend Bill Finnegan of Klon Centaur fame issued a legal statement via social media so the guys dig into it. This once again tuns into a new business idea that is legally questionable at best and then the guys develop the ultimate formula for podcast success.

Brad Paisley had the Rick Beato treatment this week and Brian cannot hide his undying love for Brad and Vox style amps. Somehow the conversation jumps from Ai to pole dancing and there is much confusion and some hilarity.

Weird Canadian potato chips, Wampcoin, Goop, Iron Maiden, Jarvis Cocker, The honk...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Ai Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 567 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The great JHS Notadumble-fumble humble-bumble and is this a new golden age for guitarists?

This week Brian is temporarily waylaid by "stuff" so Blake and Richard tackle the show without him for the first time since records began, although there is a very brief appearance from his Ai alter ego. Meanwhile there has been some division of opinion in the guitar community about a revelation from JHS.

Meanwhile the Big F have released a new DAW that is essentially free for any guitarist and Richard is a big fan. Does this signify a new shift in focus for gear manufacturers and are we now in a new golden era for guitarists? Blake drops a hint about something for beginner guitarists coming from StringJoy and Richard wants the new Tone King Imperial MKII module from Synergy.

Valeton have released a very interesting mini multi fx pedal and IR loader and its so inexpensive Richard feels compels to buy one. Meanwhile Blake has received and email about NAMM Next and breaks down the implications. We also pay tribute to Jim Irsay, billionaire guitar collector extraordinaire, who sadly recently passed.

Bionic eyes, Mysterious Pink Pedal, Harry Potter, Cheese highs, Becoming Led Zeppelin...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!

Richard rants about why you should support smaller builders and Brian wants to crowdfund an industrial adventure.

Richard has had his musical ego stroked and tells us all about it before figuring out why he was too loud for everyone except himself. We return to drummers with news of a few band departures before Richard offends Brian with modeling talk.
