Object Worship – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today we're joined by one of the founders of Old Blood Noise Endeavors: Brady Smith! You may know his history with Keeley, Walrus, and Old Blood, but today we're here to talk about his history with a particular amp you may know as Marsnall: the Marshall JMP that's been his mainstay for decades. We start with a lot of discussion of the Eastside Music Supply 10 Year Anniversary party and the fun people and gear we encountered there, then take some voicemails aimed specifically at Brady, then finally get into his object and how it's informed not only his playing but his ear as a pedal designer, through both its presence and its absence. This is a fun one folks!

Today's all about the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Pardner! Well, mostly at least. We begin with the very exciting conclusion of Andy's Wes Borland saga and give confirmation that sometimes you should meet your heroes. Then we throw it to the hogs for questions about the latest pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors: an oddball fuzz with an overdriven effects loop referred to as PARDNER. From there we talk about some of our favorite uses of the pedal, naturally meander a bit, and end with some chatter about the upcoming Dark Star.

This one is a bag of chips and also all that, as we're joined by Andon Whitehorn of Lantern Manufacturing. Andon tells us about the Mitsubishi M65850 delay chip, a largely overlooked relative of the infamous PT2399, and how it served as a gateway to designing pedal circuits around esoteric chips. We circle back to some familiar ideas, touching on old technology vs new and the way inspiration can come from limitation, and dive deep on how Andon makes things difficult on himself by prizing process as much as product. We do also yes talk about potato chips.

Today we're joined by Joel Korte of Chase Bliss! Joel's an inspiring figure in the gear industry, both for his engineering and his being-a-great-human. We get to know his story through the lens of the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky, a unique design using the ChipCorder voice recording chip to create short, compressed, warbling loops. We learn how Joel found himself at ZVEX, how he went from being a fan of the pedal to reinterpreting its sound as the Instant Lo-Fi Junky, and how he eventually went on to create Chase Bliss. This episode is about perseverance, engineering, and some goofs along the way - get in!

That's right folks, it's time for a different type of actuator. Today we're joined by Alex Beachum, creative director of Outer Wilds. We talk about his favorite controller, the Dualshock 4, as part of a wider conversation about how we interact with games. We get some insight into the development of Outer Wilds, talk about its emotional impact, and get into some other games that influenced Alex. Plus, Andy gets to talk about Fortnite, we all try to remember what the deal with that Seaman game for Dreamcast was, and Clint shares with us a traumatic memory via hogline. Tarry no further let's listen!

Today we're joined by Randall Taylor of Amulets to talk about a four track tape machine: the Tascam 414. We start the podcast with a full circle moment, then follow Randall's journey with tape: how he got started with it, how its particular quirks and challenges inspire the music he creates both live and on record, and generally why it's worth the hassle. We also get a tour of some pedals around his room, hear about the freedom of an uncomplicated setup with his project Jenny Haniver, and answer the burning question: what's the best song from the 90's?

Today we're joined by Mike Rugnetta, a sound explorer of many forms. We get into music, podcasting, and a bit of sonic philosophy. Mike teaches us about field recorders, specifically the Sound Devices MixPre-3, and how they've been a part of his creative output through the years. Expect discussions of the meditative nature of capturing and manipulating sound, the value of a ping pong ball, and why Mike nearly chose a hard drive as his object. Oh and of course if you have an opinion on Kierkegaard's favorite pedal, drop us a line at 505-ODD-HOGS.

Today we're joined by Andrew Tasselmyer, prolific musician you may know from his solo work or as a member of Hotel Neon, Gray Acres, and Mordançage. Andrew and Andy have a long friendship, and Dan gets to meet Andrew for the first time. After some chat about technical difficulties and our favorite instrument mods, we get right into the Elektron Octatrack MKII, and Andy and Dan nod their heads along as if they understand half of what's being talked about. It's a deep dive on a deep device from the deep mind of Andrew Tasselmyer. Dig in!

Today we're joined by Eric Nyffeler: musician, visual artist, and Art Director for Chase Bliss. Centering around the Electro Harmonix 16 Second Delay Reissue, we talk about the beauty of early delay-looper technology and go deep on the aesthetics of pedals. We also get to some important questions with surprising answers: How do you pronounce his name? Should every pedal have a vent? This and more on today's Object Worship.

Today we're joined by Joe Branton of the Guitar Nerds podcast. Starting with the Boss CS-2, we take a tour of compressor pedals, with a focus on what makes them not so transparent and a key part of Joe's approach to bass. We also talk about the upcoming Effector Market and NAMM, and take a well-timed question about Bass VI from the hogline.
