332- Limited run pedals and the dangers of TikTok Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Blake join forces for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Derek is an IT security guy and a fan of the podcast. He recently reached out to Brian about some concerns over the use of the TikTok app. The guys talk about it.

A recent post on the Facebook group Pedalboards of Doom pointed to some frustration over “limited Run” pedals. Is it an unfair marketing ploy by companies? Brian and Blake take a look at the issue.

Gear demos can be a great resource when you are thinking about investing in a new pedal. But is there an over saturation of demo videos these days? It leads to an interesting conversation.

If you spend anytime on social media you have no doubt seen someone’s picture of their pedalboards. Some are saying that shows that pedals are becoming a status statement. Brian shares his opinion on the matter.

331 - Simple modulation pedals and Analog VS Digital Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Blake join forces for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Blake recently got his hands on a Big Ear Albie pedal. It is an 8 mode “ambient modulator” that is very straight forward simple with very limited user control. Blake likes it and the guys talk about the pedal.

Brian went on a little road trip and his mind wandered to thinking about the differences between analog and digital circuits. It makes for an interesting conversation.

This year has been challenging to say the very least, especially on those artist that have depended on live performances for income. There are options out there and Brian and Blake look at those are.

Show notes

Brian and Blake join forces for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

A recent post in the Wampler Tone group about the topic of boiling guitar strings came up. It is said to be a way of rejuvenating old strings and was a technique used by old blues players and maybe even EVH. Blake tried it and the guys talk about the results.

Amazon has wandered into the gear world with a line of Amazon Basic guitar pedals. More interesting is their marketing picture for the line. It has been a point of conversation in the gear groups and Brian and Blake muse over the inventive signal chain.
