Object Worship

Today our hosts are joined by Isaac Nelson to talk about the development of Beam Splitter. Isaac is the other half of OBNE's R&D department, and an actor of some renown, recognizable for characters such as Old Ike and whatever we call the corporate guy who drinks the Sunlight tincture. Isaac gives nod to his object (a blue strat) and describes himself as not a particularly curious gear guy, while also giving insight into the inspiration behind his triple tracking multi-distortion mono stereo trereo embiggening behemoth, Beam Splitter.

Today our hosts discuss two solo sets. Andy recently returned from Post Fest, where he played his first solo set in several years. He talks about how it went, the one technical difficulty he ran into, and the overall setup to create a visually and aurally compelling experience. Then Dan talks about prepping for his first solo set in a couple years, and the line between exploratory instrumental improvisation and simply singing the songs he's written. Then, some voice mails allow them to both give and take advice. If you don't feel like listening, just remember this: it's ok. The show will go on. You're doing great!

Today our hosts chat with Zak Sherman of The Audio Cultivation Project. They talk about his entrance into pedal building coming at an early stage in his musical development, and how that leads to designs that come from an unexpected place. They also talk about the upcoming Midwest Pedal Fest, and why he and Alec Breslow chose to host it in Detroit. And of course, they talk about his chosen object: a particularly modded Telecaster that speaks to who he is as a player and pedal designer. They try to tackle the important questions, like what is a Telecaster, what is the midwest, and who in this room is a poser?

Today our hosts welcome back one of the finest minds in Objects: Jesse Honig of 29 Pedals and Believable Audio. They discuss his recent video on the differences between preamps, and our hosts experience a freewheeling wonderment of knowledge. Subjects include capturing the spirit in the room, leaning into the noises, letting an idea be fully explored on its own, a hot take involving acoustic treatment, and how the five percent difference only matters when it matters to you and your creative process.

Today our hosts spread the worship around, focusing on a few topics that touch on many objects. Andy has a new amp, Dan has some experiences looking at noise relationships when multiple pedals get involved, each of them gets excited about playing a solo show, and they take an unprompted voicemail.
