Today Object Worship is joined by Angelo Mazzocco and Terry Burton of Meris! Many a Meris pedal has come up in conversation on the cast, so the hosts were glad to welcome two of the company's founders to talk about their music gear journeys. We begin with Terry's Marshall 6100 amp, then discuss Angelo's Ibanez RG570 guitar, and trace various parallels of their development as musicians, tinkerers, and now engineers at the forefront of guitar pedals.

Andy Pitcher, The Mutt, and Dot
Today our hosts are joined again by Andy Pitcher! Longtime listeners may remember his first appearance discussing the DL-4, and today he returns to discuss his second place object: The Mutt (How To Skateboard And Not Kill Yourself) by Rodney Mullen and Sean Mortimer. They talk about its influence in Andy's adolescence and the new lessons it holds in adult life, many of which manifest in his recent debut solo album, Dot. A number of topics both musical and personal appear along the way, both very heavy and very light - much like the album itself.Check out Dot on Bandcamp: https://andypitcher.bandcamp.com/album/dotBuy yourself some OBNE: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @andy.pitcher, @danfromdsf, @andyothling, @oldbloodnoiseSubscribe to Andy's latest Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/powereconomyLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

The Black Fountain Special
Object Worship is BACK! After an unplanned hiatus (make your own pun about being delayed), your hosts return to report on the new Black Fountain Oil Can Delay, which we also call Black Fountain V4, Black Fountain Stereo, or The Final Black Fountain. We're joined again by Brady Smith, cofounder of Old Blood Noise Endeavors, to give some more insight into the delay pedal that even people who don't like delay pedals like. We take some questions, we make some noises, and we just get back into the swing of things.Buy yourself some OBNE: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @danfromdsf, @andyothling, @oldbloodnoiseSubscribe to Andy's latest Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/powereconomyLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

Dan and Andy and 2025
Your hosts with the most return from a trip to California where many discussions were had about Old Blood's future plans, lunch was had with Wes Borland, and all ended in the Effector Market Anaheim popup. So, they wanted to catch you up and also catch up with you: this one's full of listener voicemails and all about the year ahead.Buy yourself some OBNE: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @danfromdsf, @andyothling, @oldbloodnoiseSubscribe to Andy's latest Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/powereconomyLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

Tyler Gilmore (BlankFor.ms) and the Trumpet
We return from our holiday break with Tyler Gilmore, who you may know as BlankFor.ms! Tyler is most known as an electronic artist, using tape loops, pedals, synths, and other textural elements to create evocative slow-moving songs. It may surprise the listener, then, that his object is the trumpet! It's the instrument that started it all for him, and we all learn about his journey with it, then away from it, and perhaps back to it? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we talk about the bodily experience of instruments, some different things our listeners bought over the holidays, Andy's rabbithole of servicemen strats, and a lot of other things along the way. Enough reading start listening!

OBNE Presents: Object Worship. A podcast about creative tools and the people who use them. In each episode, hosts Dan Pechacek and Andy Othling sit down with a creator, from musicians to engineers to visual artists, and ask them about a tangible object that’s been important in their journey. They’ll talk about the creative process, early inspirations, and the magic of tactility, all the while getting to know each other. As friends in the effects pedal corner of the music industry, Pechacek and Othling aim to capture the feeling of post-show chats, where technical deep dives and tangential absurdity are equally welcome.
