Show Notes
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.
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!
