Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!The guys start off with an unhealthy dose of utter nonsense before looking at some of the gear news of the moment including the new IR-X from Friedman.  It has real tubes in it and Brian is a fan.  Richard asks stupid questions and Blake sniggers at him. Brian talks about frequency spectrums. A pedal is virtually designed and it is laughed out of the room and Richard gets some appreciation bucks from Brian.What is the oldest enclosure you have ever seen for an instrument? Richard tries to lay out a mysterious story and Brian fails to take the bait so he threatens to send him pedals. Meanwhile Brian tells us about the multitude of excellent business ideas he is constantly propositioned with. Richard says something that gets Brian's brain whirring and the result has implications.Richard has been falling back in love with his telecaster and Brian and Blake can't understand why he ever put it down in the first place. Blake offers some advice about scale lengths and tells us all about a really cool conversation he had with a great guitarist and then talks to the guys about interface design and ergonomics.
