There is also a dubious smuggling tale.The question about guitar YouTubers and gear demos comes back up and the guys talk about how the landscape has changed for content creators.

He also apologizes for any dog squeaker noises you may hear from his enthusiastic puppy. Are we seeing a rise in a new demographic for guitar players? An article in Guitar World made the guys ponder something about the current guitar buying public and it has got the old grey matter moving a little. Brian ponders whether he should create an Only Fans site. Yes, that is what I said. Brian has finally released the Ultimate MIDI course over at GuitarPedalHorse, sorry GuitarPedalCourse.com and the guys discuss this.

• 570 - A mysterious fuzz appears and is this the worst gig of all time?

  Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 570 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - A mysterious fuzz appears and is this the worst gig of all time?  We start off with pangolin based connotations and it's honestly not going to get much more intelligent beyond this point. Brian on the other hand has gone back to his carpentry roots and is in pain as a result so perhaps he should join Blake in his new sauna. Richard saw some live music and has observations and has finally completed the Ultimate MIDI Course! The death of the legendary Brian Wilson had Richard taking a long needed deep dive into the Beach Boys and was very pleasantly surprised and somewhat blown away...Meanwhile our good friend Andy Wood was on the Rick Beato show and the guys all discuss how much they love this before a pick falls out of Richard's beard. Line 6 have just released a new modeler and the guys feign vague interest. Brian may or may not be about to play a gig in the nude and Richard has suggestions for avoiding injury and has been sent a mysterious fuzz. Brian has fallen in love with a vintage Marshall...Pulp, Mini horses, The days of innocence, Neighbor Tom, Back in Black...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Courses, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastAwesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Contact us at: [email protected] the show
