The Tone Mob Podcast https://tonemob.com/podcast en Blake Wyland & Sound Talent Media The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place.

]]> Blake Wyland & Sound Talent Media thetonemob@gmail.com https://feeds.megaphone.fm/JJW6988910524 What It Takes to Survive in the Guitar Industry w/ Danny Songhurst (The Rock Slide) What do you get when you mix a family legacy, a near business collapse, and a piece of gear most people treat like an afterthought? Something that refuses to disappear. This week, I’m talking with Danny Songhurst, the man behind The Rock Slide, a company that didn’t just survive but quietly carved out its own lane in the guitar world. We get into how a simple idea, fixing the sloppy feel of traditional slides, turned into a real business and how Danny ended up carrying it forward after losing the person who started it all. Along the way, we cover growing up in the shadow of grunge, early guitar obsession, building and nearly destroying a custom guitar business, and what it actually takes to stay alive in an industry where most things don’t make it past year one. There’s also talk of cold calling every guitar shop he could find, why most entrepreneurs spread themselves too thin, and how sometimes the smartest move is sticking to your lane and doing it better than anyone else. Plus cars, dad life, NAMM chaos, and the kind of perspective you only get after 15 plus years in the trenches. If you’ve ever tried to build something from scratch or wondered what it really takes to keep it going, this one’s for you.

]]> 4083 How Dan Tremonti Built FRET12 Into a Music Culture Machine In this episode, Dan Tremonti shares the full story behind FRET12, from its early days creating The Sound and the Story to building a full-blown music culture brand rooted in community, storytelling, and craftsmanship. Along the way, he breaks down how working with artists evolved into building a loyal fanbase, launching original products, and eventually opening a one-of-a-kind retail space inside Chicago’s Salt Shed. We get into the realities of building a brand in the music world, why most “merch” is missing the point, and how Dan approaches everything from handmade clothing to artist collaborations and curated gear. There’s also a deep dive into the philosophy behind experiential retail—and why the future of music shops isn’t just selling gear, but creating places people actually want to be. Plus: the origin of the “String Thing,” supporting local builders, and why analog experiences might be more important than ever. This one goes way beyond pedals and pickups—it’s about building something real in a world that’s increasingly digital.

]]> 3887 Jordan Buckley Returns, Part 2: Healing, Heavy Music, and Letting Go Jordan Buckley is back for Part 2, and this time the conversation heads somewhere unexpectedly hopeful. After years of noise, pressure, and carrying things that don’t travel light, Jordan talks about what it actually feels like to start setting some of that down. The recent Better Lovers shift becomes less about endings and more about perspective. About realizing not everything is meant to last forever, and that doesn’t make it a failure. Sometimes it just means it did exactly what it was supposed to do. There’s a lot here about growth. About learning how to exist outside of the thing you’ve always been known for. About finding space where there used to be tension, and figuring out how to move forward without dragging the past behind you like a busted amp with a bad wheel. And somewhere along the way, there’s a genuine sense of relief. The kind that doesn’t show up loud or flashy, but sticks around. It’s honest, it’s reflective, and it’s about what can happen when you finally give yourself permission to feel better.

]]> 3519 Chris Benson of Benson Amps (Vintage Reissue) This week, we’re digging way, way back into the vault for a proper Tone Mob reissue. While I was in Nashville helping move the Stringjoy shop, I needed something special for this week’s episode and decided it was finally time to revisit one of the oldest artifacts in the archive: episode two. Yep, the second episode ever. In this early conversation, I’m joined by my good buddy Chris Benson of Benson Amps, recorded in the sweltering attic of his old Portland house with no AC, a couple of SM57s in hand, and probably far more sweat involved than any podcast should require. At the time, Chris had just quit his job to go all-in on Benson Amps, and listening back now, it’s a wild snapshot of two guys at the beginning of their own strange little journeys in the gear world. We get into amp design, low-wattage magic, speaker efficiency, tape echoes, plate reverbs, why some “bad” tones work better in a mix, and the beautiful sickness that makes guitar people obsess over all of this in the first place. It’s raw, a little scrappy, very early-internet, and a whole lot of fun to revisit now that the show is well past 500 episodes. So here it is: Tone Mob episode two, reissued. Enjoy.

In this early conversation, I’m joined by my good buddy Chris Benson of Benson Amps, recorded in the sweltering attic of his old Portland house with no AC, a couple of SM57s in hand, and probably far more sweat involved than any podcast should require. At the time, Chris had just quit his job to go all-in on Benson Amps, and listening back now, it’s a wild snapshot of two guys at the beginning of their own strange little journeys in the gear world.

We get into amp design, low-wattage magic, speaker efficiency, tape echoes, plate reverbs, why some “bad” tones work better in a mix, and the beautiful sickness that makes guitar people obsess over all of this in the first place.

It’s raw, a little scrappy, very early-internet, and a whole lot of fun to revisit now that the show is well past 500 episodes.

So here it is: Tone Mob episode two, reissued. Enjoy.

]]> 3295 Colt Westbrook on Walrus Audio’s Hits, Misses, and the Gear That Still Inspires Him This week on The Tone Mob Podcast, Blake hangs out with Colt Westbrook of Walrus Audio for a conversation that wanders through guitar pedals, business experiments, digital rigs, tube amps, customer service philosophy, and the delicate art of telling your friends they can’t just show up at the factory and hang out all day. Colt walks through how Walrus has evolved over the years, from the early days of pedals like the 385 and Monument to the creation of entire product ecosystems like the Mako DSP line, Canvas utility gear, and the more affordable Fundamental series. Along the way he shares some surprisingly candid insight about what worked, what didn’t, and why “budget” pedals in the boutique world often aren’t nearly as profitable as people assume. The guys also dig into what working at a pedal company actually looks like day-to-day. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot less shredding and a lot more soldering, packing boxes, managing teams, solving problems, and trying to keep people from treating the shop like a guitar-themed coffee hang. Naturally, there’s plenty of gear talk too. Colt walks Blake through his current guitars, his pedalboard, why EQ might be the most underrated effect ever, and why he’s leaned more into digital rigs lately while still respecting the glorious chaos of tube amps turned up loud. They also get into Boss HM-2 love, the mysterious Terra Echo, Quad Cortex rigs, and the never-ending quest for consistency without killing the magic. Colt also shares some genuinely solid advice for anyone dreaming of starting their own gear company: build something great, make it meaningfully different, and treat your customers like they actually matter. Oh… and somewhere along the way we learn about a teenage band that shared one distortion pedal between two guitarists, and the Oklahoma pizza place that fueled their rehearsals.

]]> 4238 PUP’s Steve Sladkowski on Touring, Tone, and Why Tube Amps Still Matter Steve Sladkowski of PUP joins Blake for a conversation about the strange business of building a life out of noise. This one wanders into the good stuff. The human stuff. The part nobody puts on the laminate. Imposter syndrome. Burnout. Getting older. Learning that rest is not the same thing as quitting, even if your brain, like an underqualified middle manager, keeps sending panic memos in all caps. Steve talks about PUP’s early days, growing up in Toronto, falling into music through school programs, and slowly realizing that the thing you love might become the thing that carries you, if you’re willing to drag it uphill long enough. There’s also the darker chapter. The moment when Stefan’s voice gave out, a doctor delivered the kind of sentence that can rearrange your organs, and the band had to stare down the possibility that the whole machine might stop. What comes through here isn’t just the crisis itself, but the way a band survives something like that: by choosing not to let fear, blame, or bad luck rot the foundation from underneath. And then, because no Tone Mob episode can go too long without somebody describing an amp like it’s their best firend, the conversation rolls into guitars, pedals, and the slow, stubborn art of figuring out what actually works. Fender guitars. Vibroluxes. Dr. Zs. Roland Cubes. Road-tested pedalboard choices. The glorious stupidity of moving real air. Steve talks about finding gear that feels like home and hanging onto it, which is maybe not so different from finding people like that too. It’s a conversation about surviving long enough to mean it. About staying curious. About making peace with the fact that even after years of doing the thing, some tiny part of you still expects a knock at the door from a guy holding a clipboard and bad news.

]]> 4674 RJM’s Ron Menelli: The MIDI Wizard Behind the Pros’ Pedalboards RJM’s Ron Menelli: The MIDI Wizard Behind the Pros’ Pedalboards Description Ron Menelli from RJM Music joins Blake Wyland to tell the long, nerdy, wildly practical story behind one of the most essential “behind the curtain” brands in modern guitar rigs. Ron walks through his early days building circuits from Radio Shack notebooks, studying electrical engineering and computer science, and eventually bailing on the corporate telecom world to build something of his own. That leap leads to RJM’s first big breakthrough: the AmpGizmo, a solution that brought MIDI control to the era of giant channel-switching amps with giant multi-button footswitches. From there, Ron explains how RJM evolved from amp control into full rig command centers, including the RG16 and the Mastermind ecosystem, and why products like the PBC-6X became the best-selling “brain” for players who want one button to handle loops, pedal order, and MIDI commands in a single move. You also get a real talk segment on the business side: what it’s like building gear for a small, pro-focused niche (where your customers are the artists everyone else watches), why Ron intentionally keeps RJM small, and what he’d tell anyone trying to start a pedal or guitar company today. Plus: a deep dive into MIDI 2.0, why it’s taking forever, and why the promise of “plug and play” control could finally make MIDI less terrifying for normal humans. Then we wrap with the essentials: favorite Boss pedals (OD-1 love), a Rush-inspired tap-dance origin story… and Chicago thin-crust pizza supremacy.

]]> 3997 How Kris Crummett Learned to Hear What Everyone Else Missed Kris Crummett is on the show, and this one rips. Kris has been in music for basically his entire life and has worked on records by Issues, Sleeping With Sirens, Dance Gavin Dance, Alesana, Jonny Craig, Emarosa, Night Verses, and a whole lot more! If you’ve ever wondered why one record punches you in the chest and another one sounds like it got sat on, Kris explains exactly why. We go deep on his path from making demos in a garage with ADATs and a Mackie mixer to becoming one of the most trusted names in production and mastering around Portland and beyond. This is not a fluffy “studio guy” interview. Kris gets into the real stuff: how his early demos beat local “pro” studios, why bands accidentally sabotage their own masters, what mastering engineers actually need from you, and how knowing when to stop tweaking might be the most important skill in the room. We also talk about the shift from chasing the band dream to building a career behind the scenes, the difference between hearing music as a fan vs hearing it like a technician, and why AI might create less of a takeover and more of a backlash toward real, human music.

]]> 4752 Why Ian Martin Allison Built a $750 DI (And Why People Lost Their Minds) Ian Martin Allison is back, and this episode is a full-on gear-nerd thunderstorm with actual life lessons hiding in the lightning. Blake and Ian go deep on signature basses, the Walrus Mantle DI drama, and the eternal internet question: “Why is this thing expensive if it only has a few knobs?” Turns out, transformers cost money. Craft costs money. Not cutting corners costs money. And sometimes the loudest opinions come from people who were never the customer in the first place. Inside this episode: how Ian went from collaborator to Creative Director at Scott’s Bass Lessons what it really takes to design gear people obsess over why a $400 bass can absolutely punch above its class how brands weaponize price perception (and why we all fall for it) short-form vs long-form content, and where music media is headed next the creative freedom that shows up when you stop performing “cool” and just be yourself There’s also a perfect dog interruption, some very real talk about staying in an industry because you love the people in it, and a reminder that we’re living in a golden era of instruments, pedals, and options.

Blake and Ian go deep on signature basses, the Walrus Mantle DI drama, and the eternal internet question:
“Why is this thing expensive if it only has a few knobs?”

Turns out, transformers cost money. Craft costs money. Not cutting corners costs money.
And sometimes the loudest opinions come from people who were never the customer in the first place.

Inside this episode:

  • how Ian went from collaborator to Creative Director at Scott’s Bass Lessons

  • what it really takes to design gear people obsess over

  • why a $400 bass can absolutely punch above its class

  • how brands weaponize price perception (and why we all fall for it)

  • short-form vs long-form content, and where music media is headed next

  • the creative freedom that shows up when you stop performing “cool” and just be yourself

There’s also a perfect dog interruption, some very real talk about staying in an industry because you love the people in it, and a reminder that we’re living in a golden era of instruments, pedals, and options.

]]> 4089 Tone Mob 500: Henri Cash on Starcrawler, Vintage Amp Chaos, and Guitar Gear for Weirdos Episode 500, baby. And we brought in Henri Cash (Starcrawler, Plague Vendor, Cash & Skye) to celebrate the only way this show knows how: by diving headfirst into glorious guitar chaos. This episode has everything. Vintage amp obsession. Touring war stories. Studio nerdery. Gretsch evangelism. Voltage drama. Tape machine romance. Mild existential crises about digital modelers. It is a full buffet of tone. Henri talks about Starcrawler being the first band to record on Les Paul’s restored recording console in LA, how different venue power can totally change your rig night to night, and why speakers are secretly doing half the job while everyone argues about pedals online. Blake and Henri also get into production philosophy, why perfect takes can sound lifeless, and how mistakes are often the secret sauce that make records feel human. Along the way: Orange OR80 love, Magnatone/Vox combos, 5150 reality checks, old guitar neck magic, gear collecting vs actually playing, and why Gretsch might be the official guitar brand of beautiful weirdos. If you like guitar talk that’s informed, unpretentious, and occasionally unhinged, this one is for you. Hit play for Episode 500 and come celebrate with us.

]]> 5576 Yvette Young vs. The Shadow People (A Tone Mob Throwback) Here’s a vintage reissue that refuses to stay buried. This throwback episode with Yvette Young started life as a Patreon bonus… until enough people yelled “this is too good to keep secret” and it hit the main feed, where it promptly became one of the most-listened-to episodes of the whole show. So if you’re new around here, congrats: you just found a greatest hit. If you’ve heard it before, it’s absolutely worth a re-listen. This one is a ride. We barely talk about guitars, and that’s kind of the point. Instead we get into: sleep paralysis, shadowy hooded figures, red eyes, radio-static brain glitches, and why the stories are weirdly consistent UFOs, alien nightmares, and a “star” that breaks the rules like it’s trying to avoid getting reported DIY tour chaos, sketchy houses, cash hidden in books, and why “band horror” should be its own movie genre discipline, deadlines, and Yvette’s surprisingly genius riff-to-song system labels, contracts, and how to not get your creative soul pawned off in the fine print the gear world’s gender weirdness, and why sound doesn’t have a gender Content note: this episode touches on sleep paralysis, anxiety-ish brain stuff, and some heavier life experiences later on. Also, if you’re hearing this during NAMM week, come say hi at the Stringjoy booth (6300). I’ll be there, in the meeting room, or inhaling food like a man who has made poor scheduling choices. Enjoy.

]]> 8026 Turning Down Waylon Jennings: Alison Prestwood’s Nashville Origin Story Nashville bassist Alison Prestwood joins Blake for a deep-dive hang that zig-zags through the kind of career that only makes sense in hindsight: a near-miss with Waylon Jennings, a pivotal run with Rodney Crowell, getting the call to jump in with Patti Loveless on a few days’ notice, and why saying “no” at the wrong time can still be the right move. They talk shop on what it really takes to break in today (attitude, reputation, the bus factor, and yes… learn the number system), plus why studio work still has that magic when a whole band builds something together in real time. Also: a midlife detour into law school and practicing as an attorney before returning to music full-time, and a proper gear spiral, including her 1973 P-bass, vintage favorites, and why touring with Peter Frampton can actually be safer for great instruments than leaving them at home.

]]> 3980 Matt Pike, Brent Hinds, Jimmy Bower: Inside the Woodrite Guitars Machine w/ Steve Reis Steve Reis from Does It Doom returns after four years and it’s one of those “wait… you did what?!” catch-up episodes. In the time since his last visit, Steve didn’t just add a couple new pedals to the shelf. He helped turn Woodwright Guitars into a full-on operation with a growing lineup, more dealers, and signature models tied to the heavy universe with names like Matt Pike, Brent Hinds, and Jimmy Bower. We get into the real stuff behind the curtain: how a doom-obsessed niche turns into a career, what it takes to go from “I make content” to “we make instruments,” and how Steve thinks about building a brand without sanding off the personality that made people care in the first place. Then we hit the creator brain spiral: why long-form YouTube can feel like building a ship in a bottle every week, how short-form became the steady river, and what happens when you finally admit you’d rather make the thing than perform the thing. And yes, there’s plenty of gear goblin behavior: stage-played guitars with battle scars, modded vintage vs. museum pieces, and the kind of tone chasing that makes perfect sense if you’ve ever stared at a melted pickguard like it’s a clue.

And just for that, I wanted to give you a special look at one of the other podcasts I do, Tape Spaghetti! What happens when one of the biggest bands in the world takes on its industry’s Death Star? In 1994, Pearl Jam was willing to find out. On this week’s Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake revisit the grunge-era showdown that pitted a group of scrappy rock idealists against Ticketmaster, the ultimate corporate monolith. Having locked down every major venue in America, Ticketmaster strangled fans with specious “service charges” and squeezed bands with exclusivity contracts. At the height of their popularity, Pearl Jam demanded fairer prices and more transparency. They even attempted to bypass Ticketmaster altogether by playing public spaces – but ultimately they had to put up with shady politics, convoluted permitting, and the reality that they were losing millions in revenue. How did Ticketmaster go from a scrappy Arizona startup to a money-printing monopoly? In a world where we *still* pay $45 in convenience fees, this one hits home. Support The Show And Connect!

]]> 4167 “Turn the Lights Off”: Allegheny High on Charles Wesley Godwin & Cold Cheese Pizza I caught up with a good chunk of The Allegheny High boys in central Oregon while they were out doing what they do best: making Charles Wesley Godwin sound like a freight train and giving folks goosebumps. We posted up near Bend for a hang that starts off with “are we about to get murdered?” energy… and quickly turns into a full-on origin story: the Beaver County scene that shaped them, jam nights that built their chops, and the larger-than-life local legends who taught them the most important rule of all: never take a gig off, even if a guitar ends up in a popcorn machine. From there, we get nerdy in the best way: production philosophy (and why recording is basically 95% failure and 5% magic), the real behind-the-scenes of tracking big guitars, and that moment when a song hits so hard you have to sit in the dark and just… listen. Also: stoner-rock riffs hiding inside “country,” touring gear that makes your heart do the pitter-patter thing, Boss pedal picks, and a Pittsburgh-area pizza style that sounds fake until you try it.

]]> 4126 Corey Congilio on Surviving the Algorithm and Still Loving Guitar On this episode of The Tone Mob Podcast, Corey Congilio returns to hang out and pull back the curtain on what it actually looks like to build a modern guitar career in 2025. We talk about trying to survive the algorithm game without losing your mind, why memes sometimes move the needle more than music, and how Corey is building his own tiny desk style live show right out of his studio – complete with a band, multiple cameras, a switcher, and a Zoom-powered hang so fans can ask questions in real time. From there we get into the realities of being a working musician in Nashville: juggling sideman gigs, teaching, clinics, content, and trying to make the numbers add up when the live scene feels very different than it did pre-COVID. Corey shares stories from his years as a sideman, why he finally decided to step forward as an artist under his own name, and how he is approaching writing songs that are song-first with room for guitar, not just guitar-for-guitar’s-sake. We also chat about music stores, good hangs, finding “your person” behind the counter, the coming wave of AI in music and lessons, and why real human connection is only getting more valuable. If you’re a player trying to navigate this weird era of online everything while still chasing good tones and good songs, this one is going to hit close to home.

]]> 4020 From CKY Superfan to CKY Bassist: The Wild Road of Mike Leon This time I am hanging out with Mike Leon, current bassist for CKY, and Igorrr. (Former member of Soulfly, Havok and The Absence.) We dig into how a kid who was obsessed with CKY movies and weird heavy bands ended up actually joining his favorite band, and how that path wound through DIY world tours, insane lineups and a whole lot of van miles. Mike walks through his whole journey: discovering heavy music in the pre-internet days, cutting his teeth in The Absence, jumping into Havok, then getting the call from Soulfly, and finally landing in CKY literally days after leaving Soulfly. We get into the “law of attraction” side of all this, but with the real-world piece too, the boring but crucial part, consistency and doing the work for years when no one is watching. Of course we nerd out on bass gear and tone. Mike talks about his first Fender PJ that felt like opening a treasure chest, his love affair with ESP basses, how his ESP MLB4 signature came to be, why longer scale lengths and heavier strings matter for low tunings, and how the humble Boss ODB-3 and a chorus pedal get you straight into Peter Steele territory. We also get into NAMM show chaos, what good artist relations actually looks like, and how his day job at Enki has him helping other artists solve real on-the-road problems. We round it out with kids discovering heavy music, whether a new “Warped Tour era” is coming, and a spicy pizza take involving pineapple. If you are into CKY, Soulfly, metal bass tone, ESP gear, NAMM stories or just want to hear how sticking with it can literally change your life, this one is for you.

We also get into NAMM show chaos, what good artist relations actually looks like, and how his day job at Enki has him helping other artists solve real on-the-road problems. We round it out with kids discovering heavy music, whether a new “Warped Tour era” is coming, and a spicy pizza take involving pineapple. If you are into CKY, Soulfly, metal bass tone, ESP gear, NAMM stories or just want to hear how sticking with it can literally change your life, this one is for you.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices This time I am hanging out with Mike Leon, current bassist for CKY, and Igorrr. (Former member of Soulfly, Havok and The Absence.) We dig into how a kid who was obsessed with CKY movies and weird heavy bands ended up actually joining his favorite band, and how that path wound through DIY world tours, insane lineups and a whole lot of van miles.

Mike walks through his whole journey: discovering heavy music in the pre-internet days, cutting his teeth in The Absence, jumping into Havok, then getting the call from Soulfly, and finally landing in CKY literally days after leaving Soulfly. We get into the “law of attraction” side of all this, but with the real-world piece too, the boring but crucial part, consistency and doing the work for years when no one is watching.

]]> 4283 Arielle On Brian May, And Why “No Deal” Is Better Than A Bad Deal Guitarist, songwriter, studio owner, guitar designer, Brian May collaborator, and professional bad record deal survivor Arielle stops by the show this week. We get into how a shy, Queen-obsessed kid with doctor parents ended up moving to Hollywood at sixteen, landing at MI, meeting Brian May at a tiny bookstore, and eventually working with him on the West End production of We Will Rock You. From there we talk about touring with Eric Johnson, turning a Frankenstein “one guitar to rule them all” project into the Two-Tone model with Brian May Guitars, and why she keeps coming back to that original weird orangish color scheme. Arielle also tells one of the gnarliest label stories ever heard on this podcast. We dig into the contract that owned her name and guitars, the lawyers who were not on her side, hiring a litigator she could not afford, being followed by a private investigator, going bankrupt just to get her art back, and how she rebuilt by slowly carving out her own path. On the practical side, Arielle shares hard-earned advice for anyone trying to make a living in music right now: focusing on what you are actually extraordinary at, treating your art like a business, knowing when to say no, not chasing managers and labels before there is anything to manage, and remembering that in 2025 you often do not need a label to reach people. We also talk about fame being weirder than glamorous, Brian May and Eric Johnson as actual humans, a Metal Zone myth involving “Cliffs Of Dover,” Check out all her stuff on her website HERE https://imarielle.com/ Support The Show And Connect!

]]> 4421 How Zach Cooper Unexpectedly Ended Up in Coheed and Cambria Coheed and Cambria’s low-end wizard, Zach Cooper, jumps on the pod to talk about how “sure, I’ll come play bass on that” somehow turned into 14 years inside one of rock’s most intense bands. We get into the strange chain of events that took him from a random studio call to full-time member status, plus what it really feels like when your life is buses, stages, foreign cities and a rotating cast of exhausted humans trying not to lose their minds together. From there we talk survival: how to stay sane in the touring pressure cooker, why the gym can save your brain, giving people grace when everyone’s fried, and the moment you realize you’ve quietly become a grumpy dad yelling at traffic. There is dad energy, pineapple discourse, kid stories, and a lot of “okay, this is ridiculous but also kind of awesome” honesty about life on the road. And yes, we absolutely nerd out on gear. Zach walks through his evolution from a sketchy catalog bass to the rig he drags around the world now, with enough fuzz, octave and delay options to rattle a starship.

Blake and Chad catch up on what it means to keep building through hard seasons, why gloss finishes and roasted woods are calling his name, and how guitar design can be as much about patience as it is about precision. They get into nerdy territory: un-potted pickups vs. potted, why baritones with single coils just hit different, and how slowing down production sometimes means getting more guitars done. There’s talk of Tone Shepherd amps, Lambertones pickups, flatwound string nightmares, old F-150s, and the sweet balance between staying inspired and staying in business.

We rewind to our last chat in February 2020, the night the NBA shut down while he was onstage, and how that chaos pushed him to build a label with his brother Tim. We get into career math that actually works: why an email list beats the algorithm, the “bullseye” model for fans, and how to release music on your schedule without waiting for a mystery committee. There are field notes on touring without wrecking your life, saying yes to the right weird opportunities (Springsteen on Broadway with a fan), and saying no to the ones that make you a wedding singer forever. Dave’s advice for younger bands is simple: take care of yourself, your people, and your ego. Keep enough ego to step onstage. Not enough to ruin the van vibe. Also discussed: Les Paul Juniors, Jubilee amps, tiny Whammy pedals, and how dad life keeps you honest. Fun, useful, slightly dangerous. Perfect.

Guthrie Trapp drops the polite industry brochure in the shredder and talks about building a real career in music. One you can live with and live on. We get into session ceilings, artist freedom, and why “be present to win” beats waiting for permission. Broadway bar marathons? Great for tips, terrible for souls. Social media mirages? Entertaining, not a business plan.

    ]]>     4324     Tommy Emmanuel!!!! This episode is sweat, wood, and wire. Tommy Emmanuel explains why he plays for the humans in the seats, not the guitar forum in the balcony. How youthful shred became musical conversation. How he built an audience by hand with posters and tiny ads until the rooms couldn’t hold it. He tells the story of the exec who laughed at “no market for instrumental music,” then the John Denver arena run that shut everyone up. Then it gets legendary. A kid from Australia writes Chet Atkins in 1966, lands in Nashville years later, and day one turns into a marathon jam with Chet and Lenny Breau. Yes. That happened. Along the way you’ll hear hard earned lessons on building a career, touring, tone, and trusting your gut. If you’re into acoustic fingerstyle guitar, Nashville stories, Chet Atkins lineage, or just a killer Tommy Emmanuel interview, you’re in the right place. Hit play, share it with a friend.

    ]]>     4231     Bark at the Moon: Inside Moon Guitars with Kyle Wolfe Blake sits down with Kyle Wolfe of Moon Guitars to chart the journey from teenage Van Halen brain-melt to full-tilt luthier madness. Kyle gets “voluntold” into his cousin’s repair shop, learns the craft one fret polish at a time, and discovers that carving his first Tele body flips the big red switch that shuts up the brain gremlins. We get into launching Moon in 2018, ditching repair work, and the unsexy truth about small-shop economics: time costs, dust flies, and quality wins—or it doesn’t ship. Kyle talks outsourcing finishes like a grownup, chasing a truly affordable line (factory samples inbound), and his design sweet spot. We are talking familiar bones with pointy ’80s attitude. Sparked by the Fender Performer and blessed with actual John Page template tracings. We hit the Blood Moon, Troublemaker, Crescent Moon, and Zenith; the Mjölnir collab with Ravenkelt; how the Internet sometimes actually delivers; impending dad mode; and eternal laws of the universe: the BOSS OD-2 rips, pepperoni pizza is the people’s champion, and cold slices at 1 a.m. are a moral right.

In this episode, Filipe Pampuri tells the whole wild arc: teenage studio raids in São Paulo, building a home studio so serious they moved mom out of her bedroom, hopping to L.A. to mix at NRG with Jay Baumgardner, mastering at Sterling Sound, touring alongside Papa Roach and P.O.D., and accidentally launching a pedal company that turned into an art project with knobs. We dig into Beetronics’ visual identity, the leap from hand-painted customs to the signature faceplates, the breakout Royal Jelly moment, and the brand-new BeeBeeDee—an analog delay that nails the classic sound and then goes sideways with lo-fi textures and pitch-shifted octaves. Also: why São Paulo pizza will ruin you for life, what “B” actually stands for, and a reminder that you make the music, not the gear. The nickname that became Beetronics and the Comic-Con-meets-NAMM launch DIY beginnings: ADAT mishaps, studio obsession, and learning electronics to keep sessions alive L.A. chapter: NRG, Sterling Sound, and opening for big rock tours How a custom “Whoctahell” turned into orders… and then a company Designing pedals as instruments: art direction, faceplates, and community shout-outs Deep dive on the BeeBeeDee analog delay: classic tone, lo-fi mode, clever HP/LP tone shaping, and square-wave pitch tricks for “one-guitar, fake-band” madness Philosophy check: chase inspiration first, gear second Check out the stuff on their website HERE https://www.beetronicsfx.com/ Support The Show And Connect!

He grew up in rural Tennessee, moved to Portland, and in 2016 decided metal deserved its own pickup company. Now he winds coils that make your amp behave like a caffeinated raccoon and dresses his guitars like they’re headed to war.

Every Cavisum track has Arcana pickups on it, so if you want to hear what scatterwound fury does inside a mix, that’s your field test.

    ]]>     4471     From Elvis to Extreme Metal: A Chat w/ Taylor Danley Metal YouTuber and fellow Oregonian Taylor Danley shows up with riffs, opinions, and a tube-amp habit that could brown out a neighborhood. We trace the path from Elvis ukulele kid to extreme-metal lifer, then get into the real fight: cranked amps vs. modeling. We make the case for the Boss Tube Amp Expander (turn it up, keep your lease), why an Axe-Fx is the smartest carry-on, and how millimeters of mic placement beat a mile of copy-paste presets. We talk producers who actually make bands sound like bands (Adam D., Will Putney), the charm of leaving one or two “human” wobbles in the take, and why the Boss Katana is still the new-player cheat code. Gear heads get the goodies: Orange OR80, old Marshalls, NS-2 doing unglamorous hero work, the Metal Zone used tastefully (yes, it can be done), and the story behind Taylor’s Obsidian Audio boost plus a new preamp on the way. There’s record-store nostalgia, kids discovering Sabbath, a Corolla-vs-’69 Camaro tone analogy, and a very Portland pizza detour to land the plane. Good laughs, useful takeaways, zero gatekeeping. (Well, excpet for noisegates.)

    ]]>     4332     The 1-800 Number That Built Mojotone Mojotone has been “that place that has everything” for decades—but how did a parts house become an OEM powerhouse? Blake talks with Mojotone’s Andy Turner and Michael McWhorter about the wild ride from surplus pallets and a borrowed warehouse to building cabinets and amps for the biggest names in guitar. We dig into the early Mojotone years, why turning on an old 1-800 number suddenly flooded them with Fender calls, the ZZ Top/Billy Gibbons stage builds (banana-leaf wraps, anyone?), and how amp kits evolved from one-off requests into a full product line. The guys trace their OEM leap (hello, Gibson Goldtone era), the pickup journey from undercover “Custom Wound” to Quiet Coil noiseless singles, and the three-year quest to make a soundhole acoustic pickup that doesn’t, well, suck—plus the low-mid notch that changes everything. Also on deck: tubes vs. modeling, why passion beats spreadsheets in the musical-instrument (MI) world, and the classic Tone Mob lightning round... Boss favorites and pizza opinions included.

    ]]>     4021     $36, Some Guitars, and a Federal Investigation (Mike Mitchell of The Kingsmen) This week we’re dusting off a true gem from the Tone Mob archives! My 2019 conversation with Mike Mitchell of The Kingsmen. Recorded live in a Portland cigar bar, this one dives into the chaotic birth of garage rock and the most famous three chords in history: Louie Louie. Mike tells the story of how the band cut the track in a one-hour, $36 recording session — and then somehow wound up under FBI investigation because nobody could understand the freakin' lyrics. (Imagine J. Edgar Hoover, in a suit and sensible heels, spending taxpayer money trying to figure out if a bunch of teenagers were singing about naughty, naughty things. You can’t make this stuff up.) We also get into the invention of Sunn Amps, how their pants-blowing stage volume influenced Hendrix, The Who, and the Stones, and why some folks consider The Kingsmen the accidental godfathers of punk. The Kingsmen's FBI story has been making the rounds on the internet lately, and I thought it fitting to have folks hear it from the man himself.

My 2019 conversation with Mike Mitchell of The Kingsmen. Recorded live in a Portland cigar bar, this one dives into the chaotic birth of garage rock and the most famous three chords in history: Louie Louie. Mike tells the story of how the band cut the track in a one-hour, $36 recording session — and then somehow wound up under FBI investigation because nobody could understand the freakin' lyrics. (Imagine J. Edgar Hoover, in a suit and sensible heels, spending taxpayer money trying to figure out if a bunch of teenagers were singing about naughty, naughty things. You can’t make this stuff up.) We also get into the invention of Sunn Amps, how their pants-blowing stage volume influenced Hendrix, The Who, and the Stones, and why some folks consider The Kingsmen the accidental godfathers of punk. The Kingsmen's FBI story has been making the rounds on the internet lately, and I thought it fitting to have folks hear it from the man himself.

Morgoth Beatz is back, and yet again, he's got a whole lot more than just a cool name. After a couple of years off, the man behind Seven Hours After Violet talks about going from studio wizardry to touring the globe with the likes of Korn, Slipknot, and Avenged Sevenfold. What started as a small project with Shavo from System of a Down has exploded into one of metal's newest heavyweights, and Morgoth's here to spill the beans. They get into the gritty details of how this all came together, the weird evolution of the band’s name, and the musical blend that’s heavier than your grandmother's 1979 Cadillac. But hey, if you're looking for just the music, this episode's not for you. We're talking pedals, production hacks, and why a bass six might just be the best thing since sliced bread.

    ]]>     3846     Pizza, Pickups & Pastrami: Ian Galbraith of Carlson Block What do world-class pizza and handbuilt guitars have in common? More than you'd think! On this episode of The Tone Mob Podcast, Blake sits down with Ian Galbraith, owner of Carlson Block—an incredible pizzeria tucked in the tiny town of Wilkeson, Washington. Ian shares the story of how he left photography behind to restore a 1910 building, build a life in a town of 500, and create pizza that people will drive hours for. But that’s just half the pie. The other half? Guitars. Lots of them. Ian talks about falling in love with the instrument, assembling his own custom builds, and his obsession with working on guitars just as much as playing them. There’s gear talk, shoutouts to boutique pickup winders (like Sunday Handwound), Boss pedals, and a heartfelt conversation about balancing passion and burnout. Also: brisket, pastrami, what makes a perfect New York slice, and the emotional power of nostalgic pizza joints.

Rich Renken. In this episode, Rich walks Blake through decades in the gear trenches—starting as a bassist in church bands, engineering records with 90s rock royalty, helping invent products that changed the amp game, and now running the show at James Tyler Guitars. He tells the origin story of the legendary “lead/rhythm” switch, what it was like helping develop Line 6's Spider Valve, M13, and Variax guitars, and how he accidentally dissed Jim Tyler’s headstock to his face. Oh, and did we mention he played a part in shaping the tone on Thriller? From Norm’s Rare Guitars to dodging corporate spam calls mid-interview, Rich’s journey is a masterclass in gear, hustle, and absurd luck. Put your headphones on.

    He tells the origin story of the legendary “lead/rhythm” switch, what it was like helping develop Line 6's Spider Valve, M13, and Variax guitars, and how he accidentally dissed Jim Tyler’s headstock to his face. Oh, and did we mention he played a part in shaping the tone on Thriller?

    From Norm’s Rare Guitars to dodging corporate spam calls mid-interview, Rich’s journey is a masterclass in gear, hustle, and absurd luck.

    Put your headphones on. This one's basically a time machine for tone nerds.

Blake and Matt catch up on all things Relient K—from packed DIY shows at Brown’s Diner to opening for Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan. They dive into what it means to be a touring musician as a grown-up, the joys of building a “new boat” for the band, and why some of the most meaningful shows don’t happen on giant festival stages. They also nerd out on pedal design, with Matt revealing the evolution behind 1981 Inventions' DRV and LVL circuits (spoiler: the new stuff is weird in the best way), plus boost pedal obsessions, collabs with Big Ear and EAE, and that legendary Tele Deluxe of his. If you're a fan of Relient K, boutique pedals, or Nashville pizza (yes, that too), this one's for you. 🎧 Topics include: Relient K’s return to touring The magic of Brown’s Diner shows The secret sauce of the LVL pedal Why boost pedals rule Nashville’s best pizza spots CBGBs, The Gorge, and other iconic venues Check out all things 1981 Inventions at Matt's website HERE https://1981inventions.com/ and all things Relient K on their website HERE https://www.relientk.com/ Support The Show And Connect!

JD Simo is back, and this time he’s not just laying down licks. He’s coaching movie stars, babysitting vintage synths, and fixing million-dollar screwups the prop department didn’t even notice. He walks us through how a phone call from producer Dave Cobb turned into a full-blown creative rescue mission on two major films: the Elvis biopic and the upcoming Bruce Springsteen flick. Along the way, JD accidentally invents a job, teaches Jeremy Allen White to fingerpick from zero, and nearly loses his mind syncing fake guitar playing with Dolby Atmos perfection. We’re talking full-set nerdery. Telling Oscar winners their mic stands are in the wrong place. Sneaking into “video village” and somehow not getting kicked out. And yes, it all started because this man cares about the details. If you’ve ever screamed at the TV because the guitarist’s amp wasn’t even plugged in, this one’s for you.

    ]]>     4199     Mary Gauthier Wasn’t ‘Supposed’ to Make It — But She Did It Anyway In this episode, Blake sits down with legendary singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier for a deep, honest, and surprisingly gear-heavy chat. Mary didn’t pick up songwriting seriously until her mid-thirties—after years as a Boston-based chef, restaurant owner, and, as she puts it, a total mess. But once she got sober and started hitting open mics, everything changed. They talk about her early love for Taylor guitars, her eventual obsession with the low-end growl of vintage Gibsons, and how she’s more about tone that serves the song than flashy technique. Mary shares the story behind her breakout song “I Drink,” explains why emotion always trumps complexity, and offers a masterclass in the art of getting doors to open in Nashville—even if you have to sneak in through a window. You’ll also hear: The connection between fear and fog (and how to burn both off) What it's like to share a stage with John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and Lucinda Williams Why you should never underestimate the power of a good crust (yes, pizza crust) A crash course in humility, persistence, and the power of being kind This one’s a gem.

Mary didn’t pick up songwriting seriously until her mid-thirties—after years as a Boston-based chef, restaurant owner, and, as she puts it, a total mess. But once she got sober and started hitting open mics, everything changed. They talk about her early love for Taylor guitars, her eventual obsession with the low-end growl of vintage Gibsons, and how she’s more about tone that serves the song than flashy technique. Mary shares the story behind her breakout song “I Drink,” explains why emotion always trumps complexity, and offers a masterclass in the art of getting doors to open in Nashville—even if you have to sneak in through a window. You’ll also hear: The connection between fear and fog (and how to burn both off) What it's like to share a stage with John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and Lucinda Williams Why you should never underestimate the power of a good crust (yes, pizza crust) A crash course in humility, persistence, and the power of being kind This one’s a gem.

They cover Zephyr’s early years surrounded by classical music, gigging through college, touring with Haley Reinhart, and stumbling into the rocket ship that is Zach Bryan’s rise. There's gear talk (OC-2 forever), rig rundowns, custom basses, and why upright bass and stage monitors are natural enemies. Also: pizza philosophies, Instagram hustle, and why the music industry is a lot like bad sushi—if you’re drowning it in sauce, something’s probably wrong. 🎧 Plug in and prepare to nod, laugh, and maybe question your pedalboard choices.

(Amico Demuzio) In this episode of The Tone Mob Podcast, Blake Wyland is joined by Amico Demuzio—pedal steel guitarist and multi-instrumentalist for Charles Wesley Godwin’s band. They dive into Amico’s unexpected journey from welding school dropout to full-time touring musician, fueled by a love for lap steel, vintage Peavey amps, and weird-sounding pedals. If you’re a gearhead, there’s plenty to sink your teeth into: Boss Slicers, Jerry Garcia tones, Kernum pedals, amp plugins that sound freakishly real, and why the pedal steel might be the most emotionally charged instrument in modern music. They also explore the joys of analog gear, silent stages, DIY tone shaping, and whether or not Peavey amps deserve their crusty-but-beautiful comeback. Plus: cold pizza, mushroom foraging (the sober kind), and a few tips for getting started on pedal steel without throwing your back out—or your wallet.

They unpack the chaotic beauty of songwriting, the grimy reality of touring (spoiler: pee when you can), and why having a fake country band called “Cornfield Boys” might just be the secret to creative freedom. The trio riffs on everything from the dark arts of social media algorithms to the metaphysics of string tension, with stops at Nashville pizza joints and an unsolicited tribute to the Boss tuner pedal. It’s part gear talk, part life advice, part fever dream—with enough practical nuggets and absurd detours to keep both your left and right brain happy.

    ]]>     3963     Steve Cobucci of Wolves at the Gate: Chasing Tone, & Fighting Egos This week on The Tone Mob Podcast, Blake Wyland sits down with Steve Cobucci — guitarist, gear junkie, and founding member of Wolves at the Gate — to talk about the beautiful mess that is making music for a living. Steve kicks things off with the story of his first guitar: a classical hand-me-down from his mom, followed by a hard-earned Gibson Les Paul — because if you're gonna make noise, you might as well do it right. From his beloved B-52 tube amp to his first Tube Screamer, Steve proves that chasing tone starts early and never really stops. Blake and Steve rip into the realities of starting a band in college, the rollercoaster of recording in a real studio, and why having a good drummer is like finding a unicorn. They don’t shy away from the sticky stuff either — managing egos, screwing up communication, and how growing up (just a little) changes everything you thought you knew about music and life. They swap war stories about live shows, argue the merits of production quality, and marvel at how revisiting old albums can hit you harder the second time around. Plus, Steve drops some hard-earned wisdom about why you should find your own sound, keep it loose, and remember: if you’re not having fun, you’re probably doing it wrong. Whether you’re a guitarist, a music nerd, or just someone trying to make a little magic without losing your mind, this episode’s got something for you.

    Plus, hear about the creation of his signature guitars with Pearl River, his favorite pedals, and—of course—his go-to pizza toppings.

    ]]>     5048     Charles Manson & The Beach Boys I've been working on this for months now, and it is finally here! Introducing my new podcast that I created with my friend, business partner, and Tone Mob Podcast alumni, Scott Marquart. If you like the... odd side of music, you'll enjoy these tales. You can find Tape Spaghetti on the same platforms you get The Tone Mob Podcast as well as video episodes on YouTube. Here is the description for this episode that I copied from the main TS feed: This week on Tape Spaghetti, Blake & Scott unravel one of the eeriest, darkest threads in music history: the twisted tale of Charles Manson and his brush with late-‘60s rock stardom. Before he became a household name for all the wrong reasons, Manson fancied himself the next folk-rock prophet—and actually got closer to achieving his goal than you might think. In this chat the guys dig into his bizarre connections with L.A.’s music elite, from jam sessions at Dennis Wilson’s house to a reworked Manson song making its way onto a Beach Boys record. It’s a wild ride through failed recording deals, cult manipulation, and the uneasy intersection of fame and fanaticism. As the story spirals toward infamy, Blake & Scott reflect on how Manson’s musical dreams bled into his nightmarish legacy. Creepy, compelling, and full of "how the heck did that happen?" moments—this one’s a chilling twirl you won’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pete is also the owner of what I consider to be one of the raddest guitars in music history. It is a 1979 White Les Paul Custom that has the most iconic legit playwear that I have ever seen! We talk about that and a lot of other stuff like: The early days of the Bouncing Souls Recording music is a collaborative process that requires understanding the dynamics of the band. Aspiring musicians should focus on DIY methods to build their careers before seeking label support. The music industry has changed drastically, making it easier for artists to promote themselves independently. Finding the right label is crucial; artists should seek those who genuinely support their vision. Touring experiences evolve with age, shifting from wild adventures to more family-oriented approaches. The importance of building relationships and trust in the music industry cannot be overstated. Simple gear setups can often yield the best results in live performances. Nostalgia plays a big role in music culture. Modern touring vs 90s touring "Rock dad" life Punk rock was a significant turning point for many musicians. Punkorama CDs were crucial for discovering new music.

    ]]>     4746 yes     Guitar Center CEO Gabe Dalporto On this special edition of the podcast, we have one more "Gift Swap" episode with my "other show", The Chasing Tone Podcast! Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to interview Gabe Dalporto, the current CEO of Guitar Center. As the head of the worlds largest music retail store he has probably seen more amazing string, valve, and transistor based toys than most of us can dream of. Gabe's story about his musical family roots, his rather excellent first guitar, and his passion for music is a great story you will want to listen to. Gabe tells us about his music tastes, his writing, and his gigging experiences before he reveals that he is in fact a complete gear nut just like all of us! This turns into a fascinating insight into how Gabe has not just analyzed the business he runs, but has lived and breathed Guitar Center since he joined it, and created a vision for a ground up rejuvenation of this retail behemoth.  We get a very candid and thoughtful appraisal of the business model of Guitar Center to date and then a glimpse of where it is going and how giant pedalboards will play a role. If you are interested in the music instrument business, heck if you are interested in musical instruments full stop, then this episode does not disappoint. Brian and Blake have some good ideas. Richard makes another Gilmour mistake when he mixes up one guitar with another. All of this and more on this special "gift swap edition" The Tone Mob/ Chasing Tone Podcast!

But what do you know about Warm Audio? Who is behind the company? How did they come to own a piece of the rack real estate inside almost every major studio? And they are making pedals now? What's up with that? Today I get into the Warm Audio story with the folks behind the brand. Bryce Young is the founder and CEO of the company. He tells the story of a young engineer who was dead set on sound, but had no resources to acquire those "must have" studio classics. So he built them himself, and then for others... and over time THOUSANDS of others! We get into all of that here. Matt Desilett (Dez) works on the marketing team, and like Bryce is similarly obsessed with sound. He helps craft the message to get these products out into the world, and has similarly interesting story with how he got involved with the company. I love it when folks come on the show to share their story, and its especially rewarding when it is a brand that is as ubiquitous as Warm.

MIRC is a truly fascinating and unique company based in Music City that has saved untold thousands of guitars from ending up in landfills.

    MIRC partners with musical instrument brands, retailers, and individuals all around the world. They take guitars that get damaged in shipping, have factory flaws, or some other factor that would make them unsellable as "A" stock, and run them through a multi-stage process to turn them back into insanely high quality instruments that more people can access.

These are just a few of bits of "Guitar Wisdom" that Berklee College of Music Instructor Tomo Fujita has been known for. Between his classes at the famous college, and his own online lesson platform, Tomo has helped literally thousands of people not only be able to better express themselves on their guitars, but he's also been a huge inspiration for some of the most popular guitarists of our generation. (John Mayer anyone?) In this episode of the Tone Mob Podcast, we discuss Tomo's journey into music, his teaching philosophy, and the importance of diverse income streams for musicians. Tomo shares insights on how guitar can be a tool for personal development and the challenges faced in music education. The conversation also touches on the impact of technology on learning guitar, advice for aspiring musicians, and Tomo's approach to achieving clean tones. Here are some highlights from this episode: Toma's passion for guitar is evident in his daily life. Diverse income streams are essential for a sustainable music career. Teaching is not just about the material, but understanding the student. Listening to entire albums can deepen musical understanding. It's important to create your own opportunities in the music industry. Being kind to oneself is crucial in the learning process. Asking questions is key to overcoming challenges. The foundation of good music is like a good cheese pizza.

She shares her approach to teaching and the importance of balance in her career, which includes performing, teaching, and session work. Molly also talks about her approach to gear and pedals and the challenges of imposter syndrome in the music industry. She offers tips for traveling musicians and emphasizes the importance of self-care and staying centered while on tour. In this conversation, We also get into the benefits of limitations in creativity, and the all important element of gratitude. Molly's website is HERE: https://www.mollymillermusic.com/ Takeaways Molly is intensely focused on guitar, specifically. Balancing exercise with travel can be challenging, but planning and flexibility can help. Finding the right gear and equipment is a personal process, and it's important to have setups that work well for individual preferences and situations.

    ]]>     3971     Is Clickbait OK? w/ Landon Bailey In this conversation, Blake and Landon discuss their experiences in making that sweet, sweet content. We also talk about our time at Gear Fest and the importance of networking and building relationships in the industry. (Its always good to have buddies!) We also discuss the evolution of YouTube and the changing landscape of the platform. Landon shares his journey from being in a band to starting his YouTube channel and how he found his niche. (We also get into the unpredictability of the platform, and the difficulties of explaining their work to others and the perception of being a YouTuber/podcaster.) Landon and I also get into the topic of soundproofing and how we built out our studios for content creation SECOND and loud amps FIRST. We also discuss the misconceptions surrounding soundproofing and the importance of using the right materials. Finally, they discuss the weird side of doing this for a living and the impact it can have on mental health. In this portion of the chat, Landon and Blake discuss a range of topics, from dark thoughts and serial killers to the permanence of the internet. We get real weird with it! Takeaways Networking and building relationships in the industry is crucial for content creators. Finding your niche and creating content that resonates with your audience is key to success. Soundproofing and building a dedicated studio space can greatly improve the quality of your content. Incorporating and understanding the business side of content creation is important for long-term success. Many people have misconceptions about soundproofing and believe that certain products or techniques are effective when they are not. Soundproofing projects can be challenging and require a lot of time, effort, and research. Soundproofing in apartments can be difficult due to limitations on modifications. Exploring new technology in music gear can enhance the creation process. Being a content creator comes with its own set of challenges, including the unpredictability of YouTube algorithms and the outside perception of being a YouTuber or Podcaster. Subscriber engagement and success on YouTube can be inconsistent and difficult to predict. A large online presence can have a dark side and impact mental health. The internet never forgets, and everything you say or do online can be permanent. Having fun should be a priority, even in professional pursuits like music.

    ]]>     4255     John Baizley Talks Baroness and Visual Art Summary In this episode, host Blake Wyland interviews John Dyer Baizley from the band Baroness. They discuss the band's touring rig and guitar setup, the importance of band chemistry, and the role of the song and audience in live performances. John also shares insights into the band's intuitive approach to songwriting and the exploration of ideas that don't fit the band's sound. Additionally, they touch on John's visual artistry and his influences as an artist. Custom Rickenbackers, favorite BOSS Pedals, and of course pizza are the topics of the day! You are going to enjoy this! Takeaways Band chemistry is crucial for creating a balanced and dynamic live performance. The role of each band member is to support and enhance the overall sound, rather than seeking individual attention. The band's writing process is a combination of structured and intuitive approaches, allowing for creative exploration and discovery. Trusting instincts and embracing creativity without overthinking can lead to unique and exciting musical moments. John's visual artistry is influenced by a variety of artists and mediums, and he continues to explore and evolve as an artist.

    ]]>     4220     What Happened To The First Act Custom Shop? w/ Kelly Butler of K. Butler Guitars First Act is a brand that almost nobody associates with a high quality instrument. We are used to seeing them in the Walmart toy section, not in the hands of professional touring musicians. But at some point in the mid-2000s First Act created their own Custom Shop. These instruments went into the hands of some very popular musicians of the era, and are experiencing a serious resurgence all these years later. Kelly Butler was a builder at the Gibson Custom Shop and was instrumental in creating the First Act Custom Shop instruments, and now owns his own brand K. Butler Guitars.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Today I am talking to Dan and Krystal from a company called Online Marketing. (No it isn't necessarily THAT kind of online marketing).

    They hold a rather unique position in the musical instruments market that I do not think most people have considered or are even aware exists. We talk about what that is, what the purpose of the company is and go over some products from a couple of the brands that they represent. Specifically Warm Audio and Audio-Technica, both of whom are probably companies you have heard of before.
