267- Buying & selling gear, and NAMM is dead Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

Brian welcomes Wampler’s own Jason Wilding and Alex Clay for another episode of Chasing Tone.

It has been a mixed bag Summer NAMM weekend for Brian. From famous visitors at the Wampler booth to one of them being shut down by the noise police, some video fun with some well known gear Youtubers and hanging with the Wooo girls. Brian expands on the experience that was NAMM.

Yes, Alex sold another Silver Sky, in fact he buys and sells a lot of gear. Not only does that spark a conversation about the mindset to be able to let gear go, but also a discussion about Reverbs new owner and the direction the famous gear sales site may be going.

Jazz is hard y’all, Wampler branded New Balances, and be careful opening anonymous packages. It is all in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.

266 - A NAMM Announcement and Pawn Shop Gear Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Brian has been on the road of late for some business travel. You will not believe the famous guitarist he ran into at Sweetwater. Brian talks about the experience.

Blake will have a chance to sit in on a recording session where the band will play live to vinyl, just like them olden days. The guys talk about the opportunity.

“Back in my day” the pawn shop was a great place to find great gear. Now with the existence of Reverb and eBay, the pawn shops, for the most part, are lacking in gear. Brian talks about the differences he has noticed of late.

Brian needs more fiber in his internet, A NAMM announcement, looking for an iced coffee sponsor, and a new Wampler office? All in this weeks Chasing Tone podcast.

Show notes

It’s Brian. It’s Blake. It has to be the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Blake has learned the bliss of running a stereo rig. Brian shares in his excitement and expands his insight into the power of it all.

There is so much new and good music being produced, but why is all you hear on radio these days regurgitated 40 year old music? The guys ponder the answers to one of life’s mysteries.

Brian’s exhausting but satisfying birthday week, clones need to stop and how to use the mimiq. All in this weeks Chasing Tone podcast.

263 - Shipping gear internationally, Twitch gear podcasting, and the new Boss 200 series Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

Brian welcomes Blake back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Another social media platform. Twitch. Do you use it? Would you watch a gear stream on it? The guys ponder that question and if it would be worth pursuing.

Selling gear can be challenging enough without shipping problems. And shipping internationally can be quite the nightmare. Brian and Blake share some of their own shipping woes and why it is such a problem.

Brian needs some new dad kicks and apparently New Balance has a page on their website dedicated to “dad shoes”. Listen in as Blake helps Brian find some new “crispy bois”*

Playing like Jimmy Olander, the new Boss pedals, and Blake’s dad voice. It is all in this episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

261 - Do you really need an EQ pedal? And .... Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

One thing that can have a negative effect on your tone is power. A necessary evil that can wreak havoc on your sound and your nerves. Brian explains ways to troubleshoot the problem.

259 - Gear demos and angry social media May 20, 2019

Show notes

Brian welcomes Blake back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

We all try to get a look at the latest gear demos before we make purchases, but do you know how those come about? Do you know the difference between a demo guy like Andy Martin and reviewers like Phil McKnight? The guys talk about it.

You mad bro? Is it the anonymous nature of the internet, or are people just getting nastier? There can be some venom in YouTube and Facebook comments. Why? Do we all just need a hug? It is in the discussion.

4 cable method? What has happened to Apple? And a shift in the host duties? It is all in this episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.
