Rate ShowOne 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.

Informative and interesting!
So far the best guitar gear podcast I have sampled. Covers things like how did the company get started, how did the founders get into building gear, some specific products and details about how they were developed, al in a friendly conversation format. Well done!

Super cool listening
I greatly enjoy listening to this podcast for numerous reasons. One, the host, Blake, is a normal kinda guy; Likes his gear, likes his beer, his pizza and his coffee. Two, the guests all seem to be comfortable, allowing themselves to venture into non-gear areas that make them much more interesting to me. Three, the audio quality is generally very good. My only issue, one brought up by another reviewer, is the see/saw/seen grammar gaffe. I can hear it coming and I have to physically prepare myself for my reaction. Sorry Blake, I love you man but it hurts. 💗💞👍

This is my title
First few episodes started off rough. Awkward pauses, nervous laughter, and “soooo good times” to fill space. Once you get a few shows in things start to flow. Host is a Super nice guy....super cool dude, but please please please someone explain the difference between see/saw/seen it’s like a knife to my brain stem. In 2nd grade I seen.....my dog eat my grammar homework before I had a chance to do it.

Give this a shot! You won’t regret it.
As a guitar player and complete gear nerd, I really appreciate the approach Blake has towards this podcast. The subject matter goes much deeper than demos. It has introduced me to some great builders and companies. Highly recommend.

Blake brought me back to guitar
I took a 5-year hiatus from guitar playing post-kids. I stumbled on to the Tone Mob one day at work and haven't put a guitar down since. I'm playing more than ever. Blake is a big part of that. His fire for music and strange noises rekindled mine. Give him a listen.

Great podcast for all things guitar and tone!!!
An overall great show to listen to while driving, working out, restringing, soldering, etc. Blake is an entertaining host, and always asks great questions, and has a smorgasbord of fantastic guests from all over the world of guitars, pedals and everything in between. Never boring, and not afraid to talk about anything like other podcasts. Thanks again Blake for a great podcast!

Who doesnt need tone?
What an awesome show! I have been burning thru alot of guitar pods lately and this is one of the really good ones. Great interviews and likable host. Informative guitar & gear related topics. Production is good, sound levels are consistant. Worth a subscribe I promise you.

The only podcast I listen to!!
I have little interest in guitar gear talk to be honest. I love me some good guitar tone though. But heck, I could listen to Blake talk all day. That's why this is the only podcast I listen to, because I can't say that about anyone else. I will let you in on a dang gum secret: play this podcast through a Teddy Ruxpin. Hearing Blakes voice come out of a bear makes it cooler, I promise.

Real people behind the brands
Great variety of interviews from different corners the guitar gear realm. The interviews are interesting insights into the backstories and personalities of the actual people that are behind these brands, which adds dimension to the fascination of guitar gear and tone for nerds like us.

Great for pedal people
Blake interviews many gear builders, mostly focusing on guitar pedals, that are not necessarily main stream. Through the show I have been introduced to a lot of brands that I would not have exposure to elsewhere. Face it, there is a ton of gear out there and wading through it all to find the right tones is time consuming. I'm glad to let Blake lead the way!

Instructions Unclear; D*** Stuck In Toaster...
Just kidding; I love listenting to this podcast. I've been playing for about 20 years so I feel like I can appreciate just about all of the topics Blake and his guests cover, from business to the state of the industry, to music's past, present, and future, to pizza. Good work, Blake. Email me for my address to send me the check for this 5-star review. Otherwise, I have a fistful of 1 star coming your way... ;)
