Object Worship

Dan and Andy and 2025 Jan 31, 2025

Your hosts with the most return from a trip to California where many discussions were had about Old Blood's future plans, lunch was had with Wes Borland, and all ended in the Effector Market Anaheim popup. So, they wanted to catch you up and also catch up with you: this one's full of listener voicemails and all about the year ahead.

Tyler Gilmore (BlankFor.ms) and the Trumpet Jan 16, 2025

We return from our holiday break with Tyler Gilmore, who you may know as BlankFor.ms! Tyler is most known as an electronic artist, using tape loops, pedals, synths, and other textural elements to create evocative slow-moving songs. It may surprise the listener, then, that his object is the trumpet! It's the instrument that started it all for him, and we all learn about his journey with it, then away from it, and perhaps back to it? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we talk about the bodily experience of instruments, some different things our listeners bought over the holidays, Andy's rabbithole of servicemen strats, and a lot of other things along the way. Enough reading start listening!

Sean Mackowski and The Noise Dec 05, 2024

Today we're joined by Sean Mackowski of Tallon Electric. Before the episode, we thought his object was going to be an amp, but as we get into it, we realize it's all about The Noise, his new pedal collaboration with the band Alpha Wolf. We talk about pedal usage in modern medal and heavy music in general, and various approaches to gain, octaves, and momentary bursts of sound. This one's inspired by the new wave of players using pedals as instrumental elements of the heaviest riffs around. Also, Andy and I are taken aback when we find out what band Sean used to be in. It's a fun one, so dive in!

Dark Star Special Nov 28, 2024

Today’s all about Dark Star! After many cagey teasers, we reveal all about the new pedal and what it means for Old Blood. We take your voicemails, we tell tales of what it took to make the thing, and we get consistently distracted. Hope you like your hosts as much as you like our latest lofi reverb instrument!

Dan and Andy In A Very Special Halloween Spooktacular Oct 31, 2024

That's right, this week it's just your hosts with the mosts talkin ghosts. Just kidding, this episode's pretty low on tricks and treats and frights and whatnot, but we did get some voicemails about spooky gear and we go off on some tangents from there. We're pretty confident this is the only podcast in the world that links discussion of what makes for a scary sound with the specifics of the treadle action on a Danelectro Shift Daddy, so if that's up your alley, boy have you landed in the right place. We also talk about dreams and other inevitabilities. Dive in!

Chris Benson and the Bogen Challenger PA Oct 24, 2024

Today we're joined by Chris Benson of Benson Amps. We're catching up with him after a busy year of releases and Benson Fest, and talking with him about the Bogen Challenger PA that became the first Monarch. This one's a casual conversation, where we take roughly an hour before we get to the object, distracted along the way by discussion of how we interact with the internet, breaking assumptions about the sound of any given component, taking time to play the devices we've created, hot soldering, and getting some absolute gems of wisdom from Chris. It's a great time with our favorite amp builder, now dive on in!

Dispatches from Dan ft. Jeremy SH Griffith Oct 03, 2024

Ok wow, what an episode for you here. Hope you're not easily spooked!! Anyway, Dan is in Europe, so in lieu of the normal format we will be listening to voice messages dispatched from Dan himself during his travels to Guitar Summit in Germany. A few very special guests are featured! Andy is joined by our first returning guest, Jeremy SH Griffith. Jeremy talked about a TEAC reel-to-reel on a previous episode, but he's learned some new things about it since then. Jeremy has such good stories. God I hate writing these, Dan please come back.

Shouts out to Dave Mantel for some sick RX on Jeremy's recording.

Brady Smith and the Marshall JMP Sep 19, 2024

Today we're joined by one of the founders of Old Blood Noise Endeavors: Brady Smith! You may know his history with Keeley, Walrus, and Old Blood, but today we're here to talk about his history with a particular amp you may know as Marsnall: the Marshall JMP that's been his mainstay for decades. We start with a lot of discussion of the Eastside Music Supply 10 Year Anniversary party and the fun people and gear we encountered there, then take some voicemails aimed specifically at Brady, then finally get into his object and how it's informed not only his playing but his ear as a pedal designer, through both its presence and its absence. This is a fun one folks!

Dan and Andy and the OBNE Pardner Sep 05, 2024

Today's all about the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Pardner! Well, mostly at least. We begin with the very exciting conclusion of Andy's Wes Borland saga and give confirmation that sometimes you should meet your heroes. Then we throw it to the hogs for questions about the latest pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors: an oddball fuzz with an overdriven effects loop referred to as PARDNER. From there we talk about some of our favorite uses of the pedal, naturally meander a bit, and end with some chatter about the upcoming Dark Star.

Michael Nicosia and the Hiwatt DR103 Aug 22, 2024

Today we're joined by Michael Nicosia, purveyor of incredible tone and owner of one of our favorite brick and mortar shops: Relic Music in Red Bank, New Jersey. We start with some of our most disappointing pedal purchases, talk about dream collaborations and the new EHX POG3, then get to Mike's object: the Hiwatt DR103. We talk about his journey toward finding a vintage example, pairing it with various cabs and speakers, and how it's been a central part of his sound for the last two decades. This one's about good gear and good people - get into it!

Matt Kidd (Slow Meadow) and the Expressive E Osmose Aug 08, 2024

Today we're joined by Matt Kidd of Slow Meadow, longtime friend of Andy's, ambient composer, and solo artist whose journey from guitar through piano eventually leads us to a very modern instrument, the Expressive E Osmose. We talk a lot about physical interaction between player and instrument, the magic of squishy keys, and the variety of elements that give us control over sonic textures. Also we get into Andy's Big Day, wherein he goes viral and gets a message from none other than Wes Borland.

Dan and Andy In: OOPS ALL HOGS Episode 1 Jul 25, 2024

The suspense is killing us: will they have a guest this week? Finally, we can confidently say, no! But at the same time, kind of, yes? Here's the deal folks. This is an episode of Andy and Dan catching up and answering some questions from the hogline. We talk about recent and upcoming pedal shows, the new Old Blood Noise Expression Ramper, the etiquette of pinging someone on Discord, folk-punk, and of course we check in with Clint, who we will see in December.

Nick Diener and The Low-Tuned Guitar Jul 11, 2024

How low can, and should, you go? Today we're joined by Nick Diener of Oneder Effects and Oneder Guitar Company to talk about notes below the standard six string. We start with the early magic of a Strat in E flat and follow it through baritone guitars and his recently acquired seven string, learning about his influences and creative processes with projects like The Swellers and The Apology Tour along the way. There's a lot of 90s music talk and a lot of modern pedal talk. At this point, if we don't mention nu metal and parallel routing, is it even Object Worship? Anyway quit readin and get to listenin!

Andrew Prahlow and Literally the Amp from Adam's Song Jun 27, 2024

It's Outer Wilds round two as we're joined by composer Andrew Prahlow. We start with some of our favorite video game soundtracks, then get into Andrew's object, a Fender Dual Professional. We go deep on how using an amp in a room can help create memories of music-making, what it means to access the history of a piece of musical equipment while creating your own history with it, and how non-traditional compositions like Jon Brion's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind inspired Andrew's approach to emotion in a soundtrack.

Courtney Swain and the Chase Bliss Blooper Jun 13, 2024

Today we're joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Courtney Swain, to talk about her first pedal: the Chase Bliss Blooper. We start with some voicemails about musical flubs because silly old Andy goofed the prompt in Discord, then move into the beginnings of Courtney's pedal journey and how it opened up her creative practice. We talk about processing voice through pedals, the different ways Courtney and Andy use Blooper and other Chase Bliss pedals, blending of effects in parallel, how the aesthetic of a pedal designer can inform the aesthetic of a performer, and how creativity isn't a well to dry up but a self-sustaining ecosystem. It's a big one, get into it!

Robot Graves and the EHX HOG May 30, 2024

It's hogs all the way down this week as we're joined by Alex Paul, guitarist in Girih and design and manufacturing brain behind Robot Graves Industries. You might think we talk about aluminum guitar necks, but we get too busy asking the hogline about their favorite Electro Harmonix pedals, then dive deep on Alex's favorite: the HOG Harmonic Octave Generator V1. We talk about the utility of six footswitches vs a suite of MIDI functionality, and the je ne sais quoi of sound quality across pedal versions. We also talk a lot about what it means to perform music, and the way technology can both help and hinder the interaction between artist and audience.

Damian Kastbauer and the Modded Crybaby Expression Pedal May 16, 2024

Today we, well, forgive us but: express ourselves. We're joined by Damian Kastbauer of Pedal Brainz to talk all things expression. His journey starts with a gutted Dunlop Crybaby adapted to control the trimpot on an Ibanez DM1100 delay, and leads to his own unique expression control products. We get some calls from the hogs about their favorite pedals to express, and try to give some technical info on both expression and CV while exploring the creative realms that open up when you don't take sound so linearly. Andy and Damian find a commonality in their approach to musical gear setups while Dan periodically reminds the listener that Old Blood just came out with the Expression Ramper X3.

Andon Whitehorn and the Mitsubishi M65850 May 02, 2024

This one is a bag of chips and also all that, as we're joined by Andon Whitehorn of Lantern Manufacturing. Andon tells us about the Mitsubishi M65850 delay chip, a largely overlooked relative of the infamous PT2399, and how it served as a gateway to designing pedal circuits around esoteric chips. We circle back to some familiar ideas, touching on old technology vs new and the way inspiration can come from limitation, and dive deep on how Andon makes things difficult on himself by prizing process as much as product. We do also yes talk about potato chips.

Joel Korte and the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky Apr 18, 2024

Today we're joined by Joel Korte of Chase Bliss! Joel's an inspiring figure in the gear industry, both for his engineering and his being-a-great-human. We get to know his story through the lens of the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky, a unique design using the ChipCorder voice recording chip to create short, compressed, warbling loops. We learn how Joel found himself at ZVEX, how he went from being a fan of the pedal to reinterpreting its sound as the Instant Lo-Fi Junky, and how he eventually went on to create Chase Bliss. This episode is about perseverance, engineering, and some goofs along the way - get in!

We talk about his favorite controller, the Dualshock 4, as part of a wider conversation about how we interact with games. We get some insight into the development of Outer Wilds, talk about its emotional impact, and get into some other games that influenced Alex. Plus, Andy gets to talk about Fortnite, we all try to remember what the deal with that Seaman game for Dreamcast was, and Clint shares with us a traumatic memory via hogline.

Today we're joined by Randall Taylor of Amulets to talk about a four track tape machine: the Tascam 414. We start the podcast with a full circle moment, then follow Randall's journey with tape: how he got started with it, how its particular quirks and challenges inspire the music he creates both live and on record, and generally why it's worth the hassle. We also get a tour of some pedals around his room, hear about the freedom of an uncomplicated setup with his project Jenny Haniver, and answer the burning question: what's the best song from the 90's?

Today we're joined by Mike Rugnetta, a sound explorer of many forms. We get into music, podcasting, and a bit of sonic philosophy. Mike teaches us about field recorders, specifically the Sound Devices MixPre-3, and how they've been a part of his creative output through the years. Expect discussions of the meditative nature of capturing and manipulating sound, the value of a ping pong ball, and why Mike nearly chose a hard drive as his object.

Leading off the episode with an odd call from the HOG-LINE HOT LINE* where we found out something before the rest of the world(!!).

Jesse Honig and The Many Objects From Which He Could Not Choose Jun 08, 2023

In This Episode: In this episode: Dan, Andy, and special guest Jesse Honig of 29 Pedals and Believeable Audio join together for Episode 6 of Object Worship. Starting the episode with some odd calls from the HOG-LINE HOTLINE*, move on to discuss the philosophy of object definement as a prerequisite to worship. What is Jesse's Object of worship? I think we landed on it's the act of worshipping an object. And then the universe turned inside out and how we're all bubbles floating in the ether of a parallel dimension. Pretty cool. Thanks a lot, Jesse.
