Object Worship

Today our hosts are joined by Zach Broyles. Listeners may know him as the man behind Mythos Pedals, his guitar shop High Voltage Guitars, and as a host of the Dipped in Tone podcast. Our hosts talk shop with Zach, starting with the early excitement of tinkering with pedal mods and getting into the realities of running a brand in 2026. There's Tube Screamers, Klons, and Neutrona Wands, and a lot of insight into how different brands approach making a new product. Dive in!

It's that time again folks! Our hosts are in a busy season and they have neither guest nor object, so they catch up on some anecdotes and take some voicemails. Expect a history lesson on the OBNE Headphone Amp, tips on optimizing your life, and a new analogy for riffs that may or may not hold up to scrutiny. It's Object Worship!

Today our hosts are joined once again by Shelby Pollard of Black Bobbin. He and Dan had some good conversations at Fretboard Summit in Chicago this past weekend, which meant it was high time for round two of Object Worship! They talk about the history of guitar manufacturing in Chicago, revisit the conversation of what makes a tele, discuss the symbiotic relationship between player and engineer, and Shelby encourages any and all of us to use these tools to make art in whatever form that takes. It's another good one full of facts Andy and Dan had never heard - hop on in!

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!
