Rate ShowOften great content.
This podcast is great once I fast forward through the first four minutes of super annoying and unprofessional commercials. If those were better scripted and less awkward, it would be 5 stars.

My Favorite podcast
It’s simple. If you love guitar, effects pedals, or amps then you’ll love this podcast.

Love the Mob
Blake Wyland’s “The Tone Mob” is the first podcast to really catch my undying interest. A few years in and it remains as my go to, week to week.
The primary focus is guitar, gear and of course great tone and means of achieving it.
The casual dialogue with industry pros keeps it approachable and personable. The curveball questions maintain a fresh edge.
I have to say that Blake has really upped his game this year with an evergreen roster of killer guests. Perspectives from the working musicians and the creators who make the gear they love is pretty cool in my book!

New to tones
After hearing Blake on The Mike Herrera podcast, I have been addicted to this Pod. I have never paid attention to what I was playing, I always bought what sounded good. After him geek out on guitar set-ups and pedals , I now find myself geeking out to. I love to hear how everyone sets up their gear.

The Tone Mob
If your looking for a podcast that’s mainly about the love of bro country, the hatred of pedals, and the defense of pineapple on pizza than this podcast is not for you! Blake is a super informative, super chill, super honest podcast host. His interview style is engaging, informative, and fun. His guest are the people you want to hear from giving you the insider and behind the scenes look of your favorite gear companies. If your a fan of pizza, pedals, and personality than the tone mob is the podcast for you. You the man Mr Wyland

No Title Needed
I love this podcast. I've been listening since episode 1 of the interviews. There has been a bit of an evolution in audio quality, but still the same old Blake that I have come to really appreciate. He's a guy that I'd love to hang out with myself (DM me if you are in the OH/PA area Blake :)). The talk is not always gear related, but like he says, it's about the people behind the tone. Also, you never know what might come up during a cast (give the OBN interview a listen). I always find myself jonesing for the next episode, and I think that is a good indicator that this podcast is worth giving a listen. Keep up the good work Blake.

Hmmmmmm.... guitar tone pizza?
This is a nice “pedals! Oh look, squirrel!, and pizza...” kinda pace with excellent content and a creative style. I have to say though, there is a divisive issues of the boss pineapple pizza jelly and joyo beer and wheat thins pizza crisps combo not being ok with everyone. Very love/hate! That said, love the podcast, it’s worth your time and you should share it!

Excellent Show
A solid, down to earth podcast that’s relatable and covers the gamut of the artists, gear, and pizza.

Great Interviews
Blake is a great interviewer and all around great dude.
His guests are very open and he does a great job getting details but also the big picture.

Laid Back Interviews with Gear makers and Musicians
This is a great podcast to listen to if you just want to find out what musicians or people behind guitar gear brands are like in real life. It's not about selling their laatest album, pedal, etc. It's just a friendly conversation about music, gear, food, Oregon, how gross mayonaisse is, history, why amps should never be replaced by mini computers, fuzz pedals, white sauces being an abomination, band dynamics, other podcasts, etc, etc, etc.
Give it a shot, it's a comfortable feeling podcast.

A +++++
Blake is the man! I look forward to the show every week. I love hearing the stories of so many people in the guitar and gear industries. Also, pineapple has no place on pizza!

Two drives, a guitar and a pizza slice
The only thing I don’t like about this podcast is when people say they like pineapple on their pizza. Yuck!

Long Time Listener, First Tike Caller
Man... I’ve been listening consistently to every ep since #1 with Ryan McCaffrey. When I heard them talking Hulk Hogan playin national anthem on guitar - I knew I was home. Over the past four years this show has really grown and evolved into something special. Perfect blend of tone toys, sass, pizza, guitars, pineapple, and more pineapple than you could ask for.
I honestly can’t give this enough stars. If you like people, pizza, or guitars then this is for you!

Blake is the best
Blake is the real deal and has a great way of interviewing guests. He’s also a great food enthusiast and that adds a cool layer to his show.

Blake is a great interviewer
It's awesome to find someone as gifted at interviewing such a wide range of folks in the gear and music industry. Love how he branches out and doesn't have the same few people on time and time again. It makes the industry feel both bigger and more intimate than I would have otherwise thought.
Could use more cats, though.

One of my favorites
I've been a consistent listener since the early days of the podcast. Blake has really come into his own as an interviewer as the show has progressed. The repeated guests are always a blast also. As long as it keeps getting published, I'll keep listening. Also, Patreon content is A+ also. I highly recommend it if you dig the main cast.

Pineapple is not a crime!
What you’re getting with this show is some serious insight into the lives and stories of people from all over the musical map. The interview style is laid back and conversational which seems to put the guests at ease. It’s not just dudes sitting around arguing about tone wood and string gauges. You learn about the business side of things and, sometimes, even a glimpse in to the personal lives of some of the leaders in this guitar/ gear industry. The interviews with the husband and wife duo of Earthquaker Devices stand out to me as interesting and wildly entertaining.
That being said, There is unbridled aggression toward the magical creation that is Hawaiian Pizza. Blake may know his stuff, but the Pineapple hate is uncalled for! Long live pineapple and ham!!!!

Great content!
Blake is a great interviewer and seems to be very good at making his guests feel comfortable. His guests are top notch and have a lot of great information to offer. This podcast and community is a great presence in the gear community.

Thoughtful interviews, genuine dude
I stumbled upon this podcast just as I was getting back into playing guitar after a ~20 year hiatus, and it ended up being the prescription to my guitar doldrums.
Blake has an honest, kind interviewing style, and gets the BEST guests to come on his show. It’s a great mix of nerdery and human interest exposition — makes for informative and entertaining listening. Infotainment, if you will. He does a great job of listening to his guests, and not forcing the convo into an unnatural direction.
I do not agree with all the host’s pizza choices, but that small fault can be easily overlooked.
Even the most causal player will get a lot out of this podcast - even if it’s just an appreciation for how to better listen in a conversation.

One of the best out there!
If you’re looking for gate-keeping, cork-sniffing, industry shills spending an hour arguing over why some new piece of gear is or isn’t for you, the Tone Mob is NOT your show.
If you want to hear a kind, humble person interview top industry professionals and find out the why behind what they do and get some laughs along the way, this is your podcast.
Tone Mob provides a great service to the guitar community. Give the show a chance, as it can be unconventional and you’ll come away with inspiration and motivation.
Keep it up Blake.
