Wampler Pedals
Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 617 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The maple-topped Martin Dragnet, Hellbent for Denim, and songs of death in the key of A
We come in banging with some definitions from the old country and you will need to hang on to your hat as it gets wild pretty quick. Must've been something in the water. Friend of the show Mr. Henning Pauly put out a new video and it made Richard stop and think about the nature of social media usage. Somehow this turns into strap preferences and strap-lock woes. Brian knows a thing or two about this.
Marshall has released a premium Hendrix Amp and Fuzz Face package and it caught Richard's eye, so the guys discuss it. Brian has bought a new amp and it fooled the guys, so he tells us about it. JHS has brought out some interesting new 3 series pedals and it shifts to a discussion about pedals that inspire but don't always stay on your board permanently - despite being amazing.
What was the last song you listened to? Blake invents analog playlists and Brian is disappointed by the lack of Brent Mason, so Richard asks the question. There was a big moment in UFO/UAP disclosure this week and the guys wonder if this is all part of the plan...
Framebook, The Wampler Cuff, BrIrn Bru, Golden Girls, Heaty jets... it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
