The Black Fountain Special Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

Object Worship is BACK! After an unplanned hiatus (make your own pun about being delayed), your hosts return to report on the new Black Fountain Oil Can Delay, which we also call Black Fountain V4, Black Fountain Stereo, or The Final Black Fountain. We're joined again by Brady Smith, cofounder of Old Blood Noise Endeavors, to give some more insight into the delay pedal that even people who don't like delay pedals like. We take some questions, we make some noises, and we just get back into the swing of things.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
