Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
606 - The Art of the Stompbox, Blake has ghosts, and Brian falls down another rabbit hole
Feb 25, 2026
Wampler Pedals
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 606 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The Art of the Stompbox, Blake has ghosts, and Brian falls down another rabbit hole.
The guys open with cartoon-based nonsense, plenty of questions, and an update from the British King of Fuzz. Meanwhile, a book celebrating the art behind some of the world's most iconic pedals has just been released - and it features a section on Wampler, which left Richard simultaneously proud and bemused. Brian has been deep down the Mandela Effect rabbit hole.
Have you ever had a rehearsal where you thought everything went badly? Some rookie errors led to a situation and raised some new questions. Wampler released the Golden Jubilee last week and the guys discuss why it is absolutely not a Tube Screamer - despite being green. Brian also goes a bit too far with the medical stories. Again.
Rush has announced a new European tour and the guys debate it, somehow dragging Lars Ulrich into the conversation along the way. Wampler has won an award for the greatest Klon clone of 2026 and the guys are too legit to quit. Meanwhile, Brian gets very angry at Richard, who is thinking about going to see some country music.
Captain Caveman, The Matrix, Nefarian 11, Tone King, Scratch-'n'-Sniff pedals... it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
