641 - A vintage Marshall steals Brian’s heart, Richard’s fuzz hits the big stage, and stop getting Wampler wrong!

Brian and Richard are back for episode 641 of Chasing Tone - A vintage Marshall steals Brian’s heart, Richard’s fuzz hits the big stage, and stop getting Wampler wrong!
Brian’s George Metropoulos-modded 1974 Marshall JMP has arrived, and he’s so smitten he’s threatening to quit the pedal business. Not really - but it has shaken him and he has consumed his body weight in hotdogs to cope. The guys wonder why battered, well-worn gear suddenly looks better than anything shiny and new, and Brian admits to a burning itch involving Marshall-style circuits.
The Purple Ohm Fuzz did its thing on stage with the Boomtown Rats, right alongside a pair of Wampler pedals, and it has led to a new bucket list item. Meanwhile, Richard’s new DigiTech Drop, an out-of-tune “Basket Case,” and an under-rehearsed “Everlong” left him ready to hang up his guitar for good.
There’s plenty more too. Brian picks up a Reverend Drivetrain and loads PedalSpice with a library of classic pedal schematics. The guys dig into vibe-coded games, Suno’s new tricks, and neural models built on Brian’s pedals. They also ask whether tonewoods really matter and why Fuzz Faces hog so much pedalboard space.
Hot Dogs, Solar-powered Plexis, Magnetic flake paint, Nintendo cartridge pedals, Evertune bridges, Prototypes that never come home, and a black Turbo Tuner - it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!
