Way back in the sepia-toned past of podcasting (circa 2016), I sat down with Joel Korte of Chase Bliss Audio — before the blinking lights took over the world and before I fully understood how microphones work.

Can you believe that this episode is almost a decade old? What a wild ride it's been!

This episode has it all:

– Engineering nerdery

– Emotional whiplash

– Mild Midwestern awkwardness

– And at least one questionable Paul Reed Smith tangent

– Strollerblading!

Joel shares how a stint at a major guitar company, and one very big life detour somehow led to building some of the most innovative pedals on the planet. And I mostly just try not to say anything too stupid.

It’s clunky. It’s charming. It’s full of chaotic origin-story goodness.

Basically: if you’ve ever wanted to hear a future pedal wizard in larval form, this is the one.
