Wampler Pedals

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 605 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - We are the weird ones and is this the ultimate collection of gear ever?  

Blake tells us about his CB radio close calls and Brian ponders whether he should be training monkeys and cats. Richard has been playing with AI music generation and is both impressed and depressed at the same time. Somehow a Trans-Am and various wild predictions are involved. 

Brian admits he is not the typical guitar player and we get some insight into his creation process as he has re-discovered an old favorite pedal. Meanwhile Richard and Brian discuss the all new Wampler release and there are unrepeatable stories. Blake has been playing with a classic Wampler pedal and it has made him feel warm and fuzzy but Richard ruins it all with his bad reading.  

Richard has been digging through the items coming up for auction in the Jim Irsay collection and he is bowled over by the quality and Britishness of the collection. He also explains the concept of pancake day. Meanwhile Paul Reed Smith made some comments about the Telecaster and it has drawn some views and created an interesting question.

Hot Cake, Leviathan secrets, Silver Jamboree, Chris Shiflett Tele, Small Venues...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!
