402 - The return of the DL4 and breakdance in a day the Mel Bay way...

52 min • 30 mars 2022

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!

Brian rewrites Tolkien with an all new character and it is established early on that Brian has some weirdness within him as the guys talk about his new hobby of turning songs into country versions. Blake has been talking to the fine folk over at Chibson and tells us a little bit about the mighty meme wizardry that they produce. Richard is impressed with Mark Tremonti and discusses why the world needs more nice people right now before Brian drops one or two names and then an Eagles based pun fest ensues.

Do you like to learn guitar solos note for note? It's not easy to memorize every solo and a lot of players choose not to but Richard makes a point about why sometimes it can be a good idea for pleasing an audience that may not care about your shred speed. Brian is listening to Taylor Childers and his faith in country music is being restored and the guys touch on this before the guys talk about early Rap and Hip-Hop via Brian's hideous vocal stylings.

The shortage of vacuum tubes is dominating guitar threads all over the interwebz so the guys discuss the false article about about Joe B manufacturing tubes and the market for tubes for guitarists and high end audiophiles alike. Line 6 have re-released the classic DL4 delay in a new package and Brian is excited! The price at the time of recording was given as $420 but that was inaccurate however amusing.

Also, Gnomespores...

Why can't we be friends, Australian pirates, Brians Bells, Nammthrax, CD commitments, Doug. E Fresh...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
