The Tone Control is a sometimes side-eyed look at the guitar world and making music! We talk about everything good, bad, smart, stupid, and weird about guitar gear and bring it to you every other Monday.
You can join our Discord to talk with us and other gear heads at https://discord.gg/H2xTfm6
Episodes 1 through 29 have been added to the podcast feed! They are backdated so scroll down. Some episodes starting around 129 don’t want to play in certain podcast players but they do work on Spotify, so if you really want them, listen there. No paid account needed.

First band practice in a LONG time. Used the Helix and FRFR cab. Discuss!
Old Blood Noise Endeavors Expression Ramper $60 (CMAT Butah)
This is the better version of the EHX expression stomp from Ep. 186
Sets two expression settings and lets you move between them, either in one motion, A then B then A, or as a continuous LFO sweep.
Triangle mode is an up then down smooth ramp between A and B sounds
Square mode is a binary change between A and B sounds
A to B mode goes from one to the other and does not return (like the EHX one)
This is 100% worth the extra $20 over the EHX one.
Long, very hipster, but very informative video demo from OBNE
