Joan Of Heart and the Pedalboard Itself

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.

Today we're joined by Alec Breslow of Mask Audio Electronics. As a pedal builder and whacky fuzz aficionado, Alec shares with us the magic of the Devi Ever Bit: Legend of Fuzz. It was his first boutique pedal, and still inspires his design approach to this day. We talk about creative process, the joy of not quite knowing how a thing works, and we hear from some past guests on the hogline.

Today we're joined by Kai West, ambient musician and PhD candidate in musicology at the University of Michigan. We talk about the wonders of the Pladask Matrise, the peculiarities of our particular corner of guitar culture, and blow right past "are pedals instruments?" to get to "are pedals collaborators?" A great time is had by all.

Today we're joined by producer Jeremy SH Griffith. We talk about his favorite tape machine, starting at the magic of tape and spinning off into the ways we get to know our objects decades later, the beauty of limitation and ritual, and the downright spiritual connection of passed-down familial gear. Also we get a voicemail about tremolos.

Today we're joined by Dave Jordan of Non-Human Audio to talk the nuance of big noise. He's brought a very particular example of a pedal with a decades-long history, and takes us through his journey from using that pedal to creating his own designs like the Slow Loris. Heck, we even talk about parts tolerances!
