Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 566 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - A once-in-a-lifetime experience on a tour bus and do you like gigantic pedalboards?Blake and Brian have some band name suggestions whereas Richard is struggling for ideas and he has questions about audio plugins for Brian. Meanwhile American names have confused Richard. Brian has had a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the uber talented Zach Top. Richard fanboys about a famous drummer and the guys don't believe his name.Julie from EarthQuaker Devices has been instrumental in bringing the plight of the American musical instrument manufacturing sector into focus. Brian and Blake dig deep into why it's important to listen to what she has to say and work through the repercussions. Richard rants about why you should support smaller builders and Brian wants to crowdfund an industrial adventure. Richard has had his musical ego stroked and tells us all about it before figuring out why he was too loud for everyone except himself. We return to drummers with news of a few band departures before Richard offends Brian with modeling talk.  Waves Plugins, Dave Matthews, Steely McSteelerson, Mine Germanium, Richard & the Funky Bunch...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastAwesome 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/Contact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

I was psyched to dust off a few pedals that have been with me for many years and put them in a signal chain with a pedal that, while not new to the market, is new to me. A friend of mine in Europe who is visiting soon ordered this to my house, so while I wait for him to pick it up I get to put the pedal through its paces and share the results with you. From Stevie Wonder to Nine Inch Nails, the Doom 2 from 3leaf kind of has you covered for fuzz and synth bass sounds. I'm using my original 3leaf Octabvre and a vintage Pearl OC-07 for octaves, the Doom 2 in "Safety Orange", an Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe, the Avalanche Run from Earthquaker Devices, and a pair of Teletronix TDIs to record in stereo.If you want to be one of the first people to own the new book "The Bassist's Book of Scales and Arpeggios", get your signed pre-sale copy now:Domestic Shipping (USA)International Shipping (Outside of the U.S.)More soon, Janek Get full access to Janek's Newsletter at janekgwizdala.substack.com/subscribe

During the episode, Brenda is getting her hair and makeup done in preperation to usher Tanya Tucker into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Is Lizzo a monster? What about Morrissey? What about Jimmy Page or David Bowie or Ryan Adams the guy in that local band who always hits on teenagers or the myriad other artists who have allegedly engaged in behavior that has harmed others? How do we interact with them and their art once the harm is revealed? How does art intersect with the artist's identities and experiences or our own? In today's episode, Hilary digs into the nuances of these questions (and *spoiler* there are more questions than answers!). Huge thanks to this episode's sponsors!

Mikey is one of my favorite people. As bandmates in Persistent Aggressor we would often talk music before (during) and after practice at length – it was always a good time. So it only made sense to have him on! Warning. For those of you with sensitive souls that can’t handle real talk about pay-to-play […]

We've featured loud rigs. We've stood strong in front of Matt Pike's octet of Oranges, been washed over with waves of volume from Angus Young's nine Marshalls for AC/DC's “small gig setup” in an arena, trembled from J Mascis' three plexi full stacks, and even withstood Bonamassa's barrage of seven amps at the Ryman, but nothing prepared us or compared to the Godzilla-rising-from-the-Pacific roar that is Sunn O)))'s auditory artillery. And it's more than the sheer sight of 14 amps and 16 cabs or the dishing of deafening decibels; it's the interplay of these characters and their conductors.“The third member of the band is the amplifiers!” laughed Greg Anderson in a 2014 interview with PG. “We use vintage Sunn Model Ts from the early '70s. They're a crucial part of the show. I've got more amps than I have guitars.”Stephen O'Malley takes a more metaphysical outlook to the connection between him and the thundering Model Ts. “My philosophy is that I'm just part of this bigger circuit of the instrumentation,” he says. “You have, of course, the amplifier valves, the speaker, effects pedals acting like different and various voltage filters, the air in the room, and the feedback generated from all this equipment, so who's in the band is immaterial.”We learned more about O'Malley's perspective when, following a 90-minute drive southeast from Nashville to Pelham, Tennessee, and a short descent into The Caverns, the Sunn O))) guitar tag team welcomed PG's Chris Kies onstage for an amplifying chat. O'Malley details his signature Travis Bean Designs SOMA 1000A, while Anderson explains how a broken guitar led him to his beloved Les Paul goldtop. Both pay homage and reverence to the eight Sunn Model Ts that form the band's foundational tonal force, and explain why the LM308-chip Rat influenced their Life Pedal collaboration with EarthQuaker Devices.Special Silver 25th anniversary edition of the V.3 Life PedalSunn O)) Official WebsiteBrought to you by D'Addario XPND Pedalboard.
