Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925"},"episode":{"title":"Steve Rowe Returns: NAMM Chaos, Silent Pedal Rooms, and the Future of Guitar Media","slug":"steve-rowe-returns-namm-chaos-silent-pedal-rooms-and-the-future-of-guitar-media","published_at":"2026-02-02T19:09:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925/steve-rowe-returns-namm-chaos-silent-pedal-rooms-and-the-future-of-guitar-media","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tone-mob-podcast-215925","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN6277096703.mp3?updated=1770059758","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/FPMN6277096703.mp3?updated=1770059758","summary":"Steve Rowe from 60 Cycle Hum returns to the show after an eight-year gap, and we immediately time-travel back to the era of wired earbuds, headphone jacks, and recording next to a wall outlet like it’s a survival game. From there, it’s a full spiral through the modern guitar media landscape: audio vs video, why interviews work when “can I talk to you for an hour?” absolutely shouldn’t, and how NAMM feels different depending on whether you’re stuck at a booth or sprinting the floor. We hit the silent pedal room (eerily quiet), Woodwire Volts (chill, boutique, intentional), Effectors Market (dangerous for your wallet), and the existential questions, like: if you pair an internal speaker guitar with a fart pedal… do we delete the universe? Also: favorite Boss pedals, pizza opinions, and why the secret sauce is still just showing up and doing the work.
