Podcast 327: Blake Wyland (Tone Mob)

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, Jason gets to grill
another guitar podcaster, Blake Wyland (Tone Mob, Chasing Tone)
about the world of boutique pedals, gear marketing trends and
more. Blake recounts how he left a steady, but unfulfilling day
job to jump into the guitar industry, first as a podcast host and
eventually as a consultant to indie brands. We also chat about
guitar media (YouTube vs. podcasting), the world of paid demo
videos, gear (Grez Guitars, Jennings Guitars, Equitz Guitars,
Benson amps), Stringjoy Strings, NAMM and the future of guitar
shows, Josh Scott (JHS Pedals), and Blake's tips for building
your own "shred shed" ... plus a lot more. 


Trust us: Whether you're befuddled by the world of pedals
(like Jason), a Tone Mob fan, a DIY musician or a
luthier looking for marketing advice, there's something in
this conversation for you!
