Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Keeley

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 535 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Nothing but a good time, how pedals work, and a skateboarding legend  Richard has been breadboarding pedals with some success and he is keen to talk to the guys about his attempts at building a modified LPB1 booster pedal. Blake struggles to stay awake. Brian talks us through his modification and talks a little bit about this classic boost circuit and this turns into a little bit of a primer for guitar effects in general. Blake has been roleplaying and it takes the guys buy surprise so they go off on a tangent into the world of robots before Brian tells us of his gaming tactics. Richard insults him before they discuss a documentary about 1980s hair metal that involves ridiculous meat based antics. He also met one of his heroes and saw some live music which wasn't related to Pink Floyd and asks the question - who is the greatest Female Telecaster player of all time? SNL made a sketch about Oasis and it did not go down well. Meanwhile the guys have been lusting over the Greg Koch "Koch Ness Monster" pedalboard and Brian finds inspiration from Robert Keeley. This flows smoothly into a conversation about compressor pedals, feed-forward designs, and the EGO 76. Meanwhile Richard has been blown away by an early pioneer of delay effects. Flossie the sheep, WASP, Tracii Guns, The Picturebooks, The Pretenders, John Martyn, Cher...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: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

On this episode I am hanging with my pal Robert Keeley to nerd out about our shared love of the VT based band, phish! We'll be walking through the first 8 studio albums discussing our favorite tracks and maybe get a little nerdy about the gear Trey Anastasio uses too. It's another episode you don't wanna miss! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the Season 4 Finale; what better headliner could we ask for, than Robert Keeley! Keeley Electronics was one of the first to throw their hat in the boutique pedal market ring and Robert is often revered as The Godfather of all things stompbox. I have been a huge fan of his work throughout my career and cannot wait to hear his story! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian has been playing with some new audio hardware and we open up hard and fast with his new purchase and why it is pleasantly surprising and why he should never be allowed near the naming of pedals. Meanwhile Fender have announced a brand new fuzz pedal which has set the internet ablaze with interest and the guys take a misinformed sidewards glance at this news while Blake salivates muchly. Our good friend Mr Robert Keeley has made some limited edition "Pepper" grinders and Richard is very envious about this exotic culinary device.  Richard also saw an awesome pedalboard hack on the Wampler Tone Group and he talks about why it is the way forward. He also has an exclusive David Gilmour related tip and he shares it all for you dear listener before making wildly inaccurate assumptions about synthesisers and trying to talk about Acoustasonics again.Did Joe Bonamassa have the greatest new guitar day ever? We think he may just have with his latest purchase from Norman's Rare Guitars...Have you ever bought a cheap imported clone guitar from abroad? How did that work out for you? Brian's tempted and the guys chat about knockoff guitars and crazy merchandise before Brian invents the greatest ever doorbell thus proving he is the ultimate in non-human intelligence.

Detroit's Via Mardot makes incredible music that evokes classic exotica and Spaghetti Western soundtracks, but her journey is far from traditional. Since dropping out of high school, she's put all of her energy into composing, playing and learning new instruments and gear. She showcases her multi-track creations on Instagram - making captivating videos where she plays ALL the parts (including guitar parts, bass percussion, theremin, and musical saw) - and has garnered an astounding 100,000+ Instagram followers. She's also become a Reverend Guitars endorsee.  On this week's FJ Podcast, we talk to Via Mardot about her growth as an artist, how she taught herself to play all of these instruments, and the perils of playing the musical saw. It's a great chat with a young artist doing something truly original.      https://www.instagram.com/viamardot/ (Vintage movie Jason mentioned on the podcast: 'Multiple Sidosis' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mblxjfh5kE) Via Mardot will be performing at The Fretboard Summit, our three-day celebration of all-things-guitar taking place August 24-26, 2023 at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. In addition to Via Mardot, featured performers include Wayne Henderson, Jeff Parker, Bryan Sutton, Jorma Kaukonen, Jake Eddy, and numerous others. During the Summit, we'll also be hosting our first-ever Germanium Chef, an Iron Chef-inspired pedal build-off hosted by Josh Scott and featuring Robert Keeley against Heather Brown.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Brian has invented a time machine and tells all about how it works in an exciting twist of fate and it doesn't get any cleverer as it progresses to Brian practicing his rolling Rs. Meanwhile in England, Richard has received a special package and gives us a live review before telling us a Twitter fuelled anecdote. Blake has been talking to Robert Keeley and he and Brian discuss the podcast they made together. He has also been thinking about guitars with extra strings like the giant spider brained genius he is and tells us of his new GAS situation. Meanwhile, Brian is dreaming of Baritone telecasters, and Richard asks dumb questions (again) before broaching the delicate subject of strap locks with Brian.What's the most you would pay for a Boss DS-1?  Kurt Cobain's DS-1 sold for a shockingly high amount of money and the guys ponder about this very question while Richard hatches a cunning plan to taunt Brian with natural pests.  Then we turn to the greatest flatulence based pedal that Brian never released and the guys come up with a few improvements.

This is a long overdue episode! I am bringing back one of my favorite people, Bob Keeley himself. When Rob agreed to come on the podcast way back in 2015, I was not only flabergasted that he agreed to it, but it was one of the best episodes of this show that has been published. Rob is back and giving us a much needed update on the state of Keeley Electronics, talking about collaborating with Andy Timmons, elaborating on some overlooked aspects of running a manufacturing business in the US, how Boss inspired him, and a whole lot more!

Ep. 123 - Andy Timmons and Robert Keeley - Halo Pedal and many other topics!

Robert Keeley joins us for Episode 78 to talk about all things Pedals and more. We enter the Pedal Zen zone and discuss what a signature Guitar Stories pedal would look like, Robert provides advise on hunting down vintage tubes, and we take a deep dive into the development of the new Keeley Halo pedal with guitar legend Andy Timmons. Enjoy this firecracker!

In this episode the guys take a look at the new Keeley Electronics Andy Timmons Halo and why they opted to buy in brand spankin' new from their local pedal dealer. Spoiler alert, they did it because Andy Timmons, Robert Keeley and Flipside Music are RAD!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake tears the roof of the sucker as we slide into another week's episode of rambling non-sequiturs and amusing musings whilst Brian dreams about wooden construction and Richard falls off a ladder.  What sort of guitar picks do you swear by? Blake has ordered some fancy laser-cut picks from our good friend Rick over at Honey Picks and tells us why we all need one now but disclaims that he is never 100% accurate...Richard almost manages to keep it clean.The Mandela effect confuses everyone once more before Richard reigns it in and then lets it loose again when he talks about his domestic appliance saga and how he tried to leverage social media to fix his woes.  Elon Musk has been eying up a well known social media platform and the guys weigh in with their entirely uninformed and random views and Brian throws more shade.The Plexi Drive Mini has been out for a while but the guys are still in love with it and talk about why - which leads into a conversation about what makes a pedal react well to a guitar's volume control. Brian refuses to let us into all of his secrets but he does like simians, Robert Keeley was awesome to Richard, and Blake has Coachella related news.

This week we finally got to sit down and have another visit with Sheldon Ens, the man behind True North Pedals and one of our closest friends of the show. Sheldon is one of Canada's most respected drive pedal wizards and can boast high praise for his pedals from the likes of Robert Keeley, Brian Wampler and many more. He was lost on to early in our show's history to close a competition, now he's back to help us launch a new one!

Brian, Blake and Richard are back with another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast. The guys discuss the horrendous news that happened prior to recording - the factory where our pedals are built was damaged by a severe fire. It has caused some temporary delays, and a lot of "fun" issues, but we were absolutely bowled over by the support shown by some industry legends including Robert Keeley, Jamie from Earthquaker, and a number of other super cool folk. Meanwhile, Brian dreams of hotdogs...and attempts to explain the content of S'mores to Richard.Blake is opening up an Only Fans account, his bodybuilding finally pays off, and the fellers also debate the newly release UAP / UFO footage. We also take a look at the marketing genius of Joe Bonamassa and his new range of gardening accessories. What is the difference between a regular pedal and pedal for Bass guitars ? Brian explains some of those differences before becoming wildly enraged by the sticker on his new Squier Bass. The guys also chat about the latest spat between Roger Waters and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and draw an analogy with pro wrestling.Pedalboard shoes, Brian sings Spongebob, then he learns to swear in English, Blake ponders Goat Yoga, Richard wants to make foot shaped shoes and regrets his chilli choices, a horrible butt shaped guitar...

"It wasn't like I was looking to make pedals my career, at all… it was just, 'I bet I can sell one to buy parts for this other one.'" –Robert Keeley, on his early work On this week’s podcast, we talk to Robert Keeley of Keeley Electronics. When it comes to the world of effects pedals, Keeley is, quite simply, a legend. During our conversation, he recounts his early days flipping hi-fi gear he'd find at estate sales; explains why he never became an amp builder; outlines the importance of a great education for all of his employees; and walks us through the lifecycle of a pedal currently in development (the ECCOS delay/looper). Whether you know Keeley for his old Tube Screamer mods or for his more recent, digital signal processing effects, you're bound to learn something during this hour-long chat.

This is the audio of our video here: https://youtu.be/hlrvMG9X8KU In this episode we deliver on a clickbaity title in only the way That Pedal Show can – well over an hour of something somebody half our age could do in about 10 minutes with loads of jump cuts AND boundless enthusiasm. Not here sunshine… Nevertheless, these are 11 ideas for using a compressor pedal, taking in some general compressor knowledge along the way as well as hearing a bunch of different compressor types. Somewhat surprisingly there is slide, bass and enough funk to sink a modest lilo. Some come on baby, let’s squash… Enjoy the episode!

What is your guitar-gear nirvana?  Is it a trip to your local guitar shop, a trip to NAMM, or perusing the internet for video demonstrations?  Maybe for your gear curiosities you should also be looking to podcasts, as there are a few that do a great job of exploring this ever-growing industry.  On episode 49 of Fret Buzz the Podcast, Aaron Sefchick and Joe McMurray bring in Blake Wyland, the host of the Tone Mob podcast and a co-host of the Chasing Tone podcast (alongside Brian Wampler of Wampler Pedals). Blake tells Aaron and Joe about his background and how he got into the inner workings of guitars, amps, pedals, etc. The guys have an interesting discussion about how a new guitarist should get started finding the proper gear to achieve their desired tone(s).  Blake recommends starting with an amp simulator/amp-in-the-box to find the "base" amp sound(s) that you like.  There is a big difference between the sounds of amps made by Fender, Marshall, Vox, etc.  Blake then recommends getting a dirt pedal (overdrive or distortion) followed by a reverb pedal and a delay pedal. This leads to talk about preferences for using a clean amp and getting your overdrive/distortion from pedals versus driving your amp (turning it up enough for it to naturally compress and overdrive) and using pedals to shape or refine that natural distortion.  This obviously leads the guys into the subject of hearing protection! Blake talks about the music industry and how pedal builders tend to share a comradery and a mutual geekiness. Blake tells the guys about his top episodes of the Tone Mob, including interviews with Robert Keeley, Brian Fallon of Gaslight Anthem, Joel Korte of Chase Bliss Audio, and Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz Guitars. Next, Blake tells Aaron and Joe about his pedalboard (which is always changing).  He talks about his go-to pedals including the Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive, the Emma Electronic PisdiYAUWot, the TomKat Green Muffer Fuzz, the Dr. Scientist Atmosphere, and the SolidGoldFX Electroman Delay. Blake also talks about amps, from the Chris Benson (a local Portland builder) "Vincent" to the Sunn Beta "Lead" to the Fender "Deluxe Reverb" and "Vibrolux." The conversation turns to building your own pedals and the large amount of labor (soldering!) it takes to build pedals, which is why they cost so much.  There is talk of Gibson's bankruptcy, low-end Gibson versus high-end Epiphone guitars, and profiling amps/amp modeling.  The episode ends with a dazzling tour of Blake's studio, filled with many beautiful guitars and amps, and an obscene number of effects pedals! Be sure to check out the Fret Buzz The Podcast YouTube channel to see the video. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq_-Theg14gom9gcgkmFk7g Check out the Tone Mob at www.tonemob.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Now time for something a little different! Many people have cited this early episode as one of their favorite TM episodes. I went back and listened to it recently, and while I'm a little wooden as a host, Rob is extremely candid and shared a ton with me. He is a treasure. We have so many new listeners, that I thought it might be a good idea to throw this back into the feed. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

BudgetPedalChap, Matt and Ayrton frolic fancy-free into the wheat field of guitar news this week. We talk of how we manage to rid ourselves of that burdensome refund money, which also may tie into a foray into the world of p90 pickups. We tackle some meaty news subjects, including some preNAMM news that includes a rather naughty-cle chorus from our friends at ThorpyFX, a rather special release from Robert Keeley and a guitar made entirely of Crayola pencils. We may be having a rather special release coming soon also, so watch this space. Get noisy upon our group and let us know what you want to hear the most with the upcoming NAMM news too.

Also…Pedal Talk: The man who launched a thousand pedals (and pedal companies): Robert Keeley. Don’t be fooled by special so-called mods - buy an orginal (they’re cheaper!) Both Dylan and Jon take a break from super guitar heavy music and focus on songwriting and tone with their listening selections this week, even guitar nerds need to give their ears a break. And Dylan has a product for the Steve Vai diet plan: Diet to Live….

Knobs on the pedal, on the amp, even on the guitar. How do you set them to get great tone? Does the same settings work the same for every player on every rig? Brian and Blake explore the subject. The guys also discuss some of the secrets to great dirt pedal design, and explain the differences between amp eq and pedal eq. Brian has some goats and my put them to work, french dressing on pizza(?), and Robert Keeley has got some mad skills in the kitchen. All in this weeks Chasing Tone. http://www.wamplerpedals.com/podcast/ for podcast subscription, or go to http://www.wamplerpedals.com/subscribe to be notified of new podcasts and videos that are uploaded to this channel. 

In this episode we take a look at the new Fender Mustang and Duo-Sonic reissue guitars and basses and Keeley Electronics Tone Workstation, Dark Side Workstation and Delay Workstation pedals. Eric and Paul discuss the origin of the 60's Fender offset guitars, their role in grunge and punk music and the artists who rely on them. They talk about the role of Robert Keeley as one of the pioneers of modifying stock effects pedals and as an integral figure in seeding the recent explosion of boutique pedal manufacturers.We also learn that giving Paul a pedal that magically recreates any sound from Dark Side of The Moon is a study in unbridled self-indulgence. 

Josh talks with Robert Keeley creator of many well known guitar pedals like the Katana, Keeley Compressor as well as many iconic modifications. Robert shares about his dynamic journey in the pedal industry, how getting sober changed his life, and his thoughts about the creative process of pedal design.

I've had the jones for some early mindbending Dead for awhile.. I finally decided this week was as good a time as any to feed it.. This week's Deadpod features fragments from two shows that took place 43 years ago, February 2nd and 3rd at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland OR. It's great to hear Tom Constantin on these tapes, I especially enjoy him on the Clementine from the 2nd.. that show on the 2nd also features the last time Bobby used these early lyrics: "When I woke up this morning, my head was not in sight I would ask the walls about it, but they vanished overnight I could not think or spell my name, or fly there was no way and the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day"The 2/3 show was supposedly one of the shows used in producing 'Anthem of the Sun'.. This features a rare 'Born Cross Eyed' and a great 'Eleven'.. Hope you lose yourself in it.. :) Grateful Dead - February 2, 1968Crystal Ballroom - Portland, OR  Viola Lee Blues That's It For The Other One -> Clementine -> Good Morning Little Schoolgirl// Grateful Dead - February 3, 1968Crystal Ballroom - Portland, OR That's It For The Other One ->New Potato CabooseIt Hurts Me TooBorn Cross-EyedGood Morning Little SchoolgirlDark Star ->China Cat Sunflower ->The Eleven You can listen to this week's Deadpod http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012712.mp3">here:http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012712.mp3">http://traffic.libsyn.com/deadshow/deadpod012712.mp3 My thanks as always to our friends at Keeley Electronics!
