Show Notes
Today our hosts welcome Philippe Herndon of Caroline Guitar Company. He talks about their latest pedal, a self-proclaimed normie pedal called the Aaron Graves Overdrive. We talk about specific design choices, the story of its namesake, and the importance of versatility even in a fairly fundamental pedal. Plus, we get the scoop on why they use pictures instead of labels, and Philippe has a surprise for us in lieu of the traditional object talk. It's basically a two parter, so fire it up and get listening!
More from Object Worship
Today our hosts are joined by Barton McGuire of Cosmodio Instruments. Barton is celebrating the release of the Horoscope Echo Sequencer, so our hosts naturally have a lot of questions about it. But they also learn all about the Mutable Instruments Anushri, the open source DIY semimodular synth kit that taught Barton a lot of early lessons in his journey as both a musician and a pedal builder. There's a lot of process talk - some good old fashioned Object Worship fun!
Dan is in Japan! But don't worry, Andy has it mostly under control. And just like last time Dan was out of the country, Jeremy SH Griffith joins to talk mics, midi, tabletop pedalboards, and listen to some dispatches from Dan (and a few other fine folks).
Today our hosts engage in a quick checkin to talk about how busy they are! They start with a deviation about a particular guitar noise, then dive into a small episode about a small object: the Dunlop James Hetfield Signature White Fang Flow pick. Dan talks about how it came into his life, how it's made him appreciate other styles of pick, and why he keeps coming back to it.
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!
