There is some excitement in the old country as the British King of Fuzz has finally figured out how guitars work thanks to friend of the show. He has also got a custom wiring harness from the amazing Gun Street Wiring and is very excited.Wampler released their latest DSP based pedal, the Catacombs, and so Brian and Richard talk about the 2 year+ development process, the science, and the mean things the people of YouTube have said. Richard made a dad joke and explains how the new Syntax switcher was made to be “Brian proof”. In order to get the exacting reverb sounds Brian wanted the team at Wampler had to enter new territory by reverse engineering the sound of impulse response models and Brian is very happy with the results. The worst dating site ever is unveiled and there were some queries about a new pedal. Finally the guys weigh in on the debate about Guitar Magazines - they are closing down fast and this may or may not be a good thing for us players...listen to the very end for a MASSIVE pedal hint.Good luck - I'm British, Gotoh, The Bearded Butcher, Disney mistake, Wangler pedals, Notafuzzbender, Black Friday details, Image enhancement...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: [email protected] the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 538 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Three new Wampler products and look out - it's the Chasing Tone Bandits There are explosions aplenty in the UK as Richard tells us about one of their many strange customs and Brian reminisces about dangerous childhood toys. Brian also hints that this week he will be releasing multiple products and the guys talk about the new JHS Violet. A fight almost breaks out. Richard bought a guitar and is being an idiot with it and Brian needs a new PAF.Brian suggests Richard should make his own pickups and the guys come up with a very foolish idea before they talk about the strangest band practice ever. What's the longest you have ever waited in line to see a band? Richard has set a new personal record and also simultaneously invented a new drinking game. Brian has also been to an amazing gig and he tells us about it and the pedals it involved. Fender have released a number of special new guitars and the guys debate them and consider a fictional heist that somehow involves sandwiches. Kinky pedals, Wide range humbuckers, The Cure, Zach Top, Boss...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: [email protected] the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 537 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The Wampler Fearbox, Brian gets kicked off TikTok, and New Guitar Day   Brian is having trouble rolling his Rs and there has been a slew of pedal releases from Keeley, JHS, and apparently also Wampler. But one that caught the collective eye was a reasonably unique compressor / fuzz circuit from a good friend of the show. Richard has had an IT disaster. Brian and Blake turn into British Victorian-era urchins when asked about transistors. Wampler have released a limited edition (and now sold out) version of the Gearbox - the Fearbox - and the guys chat about it. Blake has been to see some live music and Brian somehow is an expert on this. Brian has been kicked off TikTok and he is not happy about it. Richard visited Andertons an as a result he had a new guitar day and tells us about it and some of the other guitars he tested. Blake has a new pedal from Warm Audio, has confessed he is hoarding like Smaug, and foreshadows some future releases. It seems that Richard has found his ultimate 80's guitar and is suffering from some first world problems and makes an absurd prediction that angers Blake greatly. The guys then turn the conversation to selling guitars and somehow fish and trainsets are involved. Leaks everywhere, Electric Love, Gallagher World, Silver Sky SE, RG 550, Jaguars vs Jazzmasters, Trumptonshire...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: [email protected] the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by not one but two very special guests for Episode 536 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Roundtable of Chief Guitar Officers with Scott Heydt and Judd Silver  Scott and Judd have been friends for many years and after both had spent a lot of time working in the music industry they came together to create a show - the Chief Guitar Officer podcast. What on earth possessed them to do that? Madness I say! They have fantastic stories to tell and a great perspective on the music industry and we think you will absolutely love this episode.The conversation continues into a look at the state of printed and online guitar magazines and the future of music publishing and advertising. This turns into a discussion about Scott's past with Gary Vaynerchuk, and an unusual coincidence that brought all the guys together. This is quite the origin story with at least one common thread - the guitar. David Gilmour may also get a mention.The interviewers become the interviewed as Judd and Scott ask Richard and Blake about how their love of the guitar properly started and we go deep with some psychology that resonates with everyone. Richard turns the tables and we hear about Scott and Judd's early influences before talking about which guitar is the best - Stratocaster or Telecaster...Egon Spengler, VHS, Crushing It, Rockonteurs, Jim Irsay, Alexi Lalas, Fender Custom Shop...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: [email protected] the show
