494 - Happy New Year, Happy New Gear!

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for episode 494 of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Richard has been suffering badly with the Covids and opens up with some interesting confessions about the worst crimes he has committed. He is a terrible man. Brian and Blake also 'fess up and all the guys may - or may not - be in serious trouble as a result.  Richard tells us some guitar based tales of his family, of wandering minstrels, and the resultant jamming that occurred and his tonal observations thereafter.

Analogman made a video demonstrating his impressive Germanium diode surplus and Brian admits he is interested as Blake fantasises about growing another eye. The guys talk about mixing guitar based music and some of the common mistakes one can make in the process. Oh and there is some lag and more noiseless pickup talk. Richard also asks about New Years resolutions and Brian hints at something monumental. Well, 'hint' might be pushing it to be fair...

Brian talks about Big Muffs and ways to improve the classic circuit while Richard asks about the way the controls are designed and this leads into a wider discussion about pedals and naming conventions. Blake then proceeds to blow Brian's mind with nothing other than kilohertz and Richard tells us about his new guitar as the guys discuss guitar setup tips.

The Wyland magic mailbox, Mini Amps, American chips, Notamuff, Rockit Tone hats, Brian's weird problem, Joe Bananamassa...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Happy New Year to all our listeners!
