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!

It's time for another Feedback Loop! This time around we share our final thoughts on the three classic fuzz variations, Nick explains the benefits of his two-amp setup, and we share why Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks' guitar opus Real Emotional Trash is worth repeat listens.

Welcome to season 2 of the Ground Wire Podcast. We're kicking off with the Three Pillars of Fuzz. Most modern fuzz pedal circuits are based, at some level, on one of three iconic fuzz designs: the Tonebender, Fuzz Face, and Big Muff Pi (nevermind that the very first fuzz design was the Maestro Fuzz Tone, and that it inspired the Tone Bender, which inspired the Fuzz Face… that is the subject of a whole other podcast) which all sound very different, and are each responsible for some majorly iconic tones.

From Hendrix to Page, Ronno to Gilmour, Corgan to Mascis, these Fuzz designs have created the sonic foundation for some of our favorite music. So let’s dive deep, in true Ground WIre fashion. We are comparing these fuzzes, into small, medium, and high powered amps, with various guitars, and seeing how they stack with other pedals. We put each one into, and out of, it’s comfort zone. We also compare them in a band mix with bass and drums.

Hopefully this episode will provide some insight on the merits of each, and help you determine which fit your playing style, and for which applications. Now let’s get fuzzy…

Bill and Jeff recap their Ep. 5 YouTube video - The Current EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi / Vintage EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi (1979) shootout, video out now.  Also, the guys discuss pedals in general, preferences and a bunch of other fun stuff related to guitars, pedal boards, bands and fan mail, while hanging out at The SoCal Riff Ranch!

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Brian reached out to the Wampler tone group and asked if fuzz is a thing you dislike and why? This leads to quite a conversation about all things fuzz. From Big Muffs to the Fuzz Face to the Pelican Noiseworks Pelitaur, they talk about the circuits, good and bad ways to use fuzz, and their personal feelings on the subject.

It’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.

309 - DOD, Big Muffs and Analog Delays

Brian and Blake are back for another episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast.

Blake came to the realization that he has an affinity for analog delays, and even more so models produced by DOD. This opened a conversation about various delays and what is happening with DigiTech.

There is a website dedicated to all things Big Muff Pi. The guys take a look at it.

Brian’s AC has gone out in the shop. His guitars are not happy in the heat, but Brian has also realized he has very little experience with setting up his rigs. He is looking for advice.

It’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone Podcast.

Blake and Brian are back and tired. That may be what kept them kind of on topic? A little? <p>

So which came first? The Boss SD-1 or the Ibanez TS-9? And what are the differences? The guys take a look at the question.<p>

You can check out the campaign and get more info at - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/689850781/flexfxtm-programmable-digital-audio-effects-platfo. Oh and the guys talk about it too <p>
