Blair White and the Rickenbacker 330 Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts welcome Blair White, owner of Eastside Music Supply in Nashville Tennessee. As a stockist and a friend, Blair's history runs in parallel with Old Blood's in a lot of ways, and we talk a lot about what it's like to create a business around the idea that a Nashville guitar store should actually be weird and cool and a good time. We focus the object talk around his Rickenbacker 330, and talk about the many ways he experiences music, whether at the shop, playing out, playing at home, or on the road teching for Adrian Belew.

Andy and the Roland JC-40 Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts talk about Andy's experience recording with last episode's guest, and his discovery of the Roland JC-40 through that process. An amp that manages to be both a direct-in silent recording solution and an in-the-room tool. We talk about various tonal revelations, and get reminders that sometimes you need the confidence to say this is good and I will now perform well. Also we're both coming off head colds so who knows what we were on about!

Jeremy SH Griffith and the Reason for Modular Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts welcome back Jeremy SH Griffith. He's guested, he's guest-hosted, and now he... well we don't know, he's just a friend making great conversation. He has a few objects to talk about, chief among them the Vhikk X Forge-TME, and opens the conversation with a question about objects more broadly: what is the value of a complex hardware setup to a young producer in an in-the-box world?

Experiments in Gear Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts discuss experiments in gear: those times where you buy something, experience or learn something new with it, then realize it is no longer for you. They revisit one of Dan's objects of the past, take a lot of calls, and analyze a lot of common thoughts around what drives a gear purchase and, eventually, a gear sale.

Knobs and the Montreal Assembly Count to 5 Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Today our hosts are joined by Scott Harper, aka Knobs. Scott is a quiet figure who's had great influence in the world of effects pedal demos, bringing depth, fun, and true knowledge of the product to his presentations. He's also been creatively involved in bringing to light some modern classics from Chase Bliss, like MOOD and Blooper. Today we talk about the weirdo delay microlooper that marks a turning point in his journey, as well as many of ours: the Montreal Assembly Count to 5. There's also one and a half minutes of fountain pen conversation, and etc.

Emily, Russ, and Parting Feb 06, 2026

Show notes

Today, our hosts welcome Emily Hopkins and Russ back to the show to discuss the newest Old Blood Noise Endeavors pedal, Parting! They were the creative force behind it, and have a lot of tales to tell about working with Dan to create, hone, and fully realize the vision of this glitchy and wondrous object. There's a lot of behind the scenes product development talk, and then some voicemails for good measure.

The Spin Semiconductor FV-1 Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

Today, our hosts discuss the Spin Semiconductor FV-1, the chip at the heart of many digital pedals from the boutique pedal boom. They talk about what makes it special, both in strengths and weaknesses, and how key it was to Dan's arc as a pedal creator. Listen, enjoy, and ask yourself: is this really cool pedal made with an FV-1?

Tom Cosm and the Nintendo Game Boy Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

Today, our hosts are joined by Tom Cosm, electronic musician and technical director of Telepathic Instruments. We talk about the beauty of music composed on the highly limited computing devices of yesteryear, and ways those workflows are still inspiring to this day. We get a bit of insight into the musician, producer, and tinkerer that is Tom Cosm, as well as the device he's been developing over the last five years, the Orchid ideas machine.

Closing Out the Year Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

Today, our hosts try to fend off the December doldrums, the cold weather sleepies, the fog of too many video conferences, by thinking broadly about the year that was and the year to come. It's the last episode of the year, so let's be honest: they're taking voicemails and chitchatting. Come be a fly on the wall!
