Jonathan HeeterGUEST
Well, Middleweight has been around for a little over two years now.
Jonathan HeeterGUEST
You know, so in this iteration, previous to that, as I'm sure we'll get into, I did a number of different things, including like work for Warner, you know, work at Fender, and then a bunch of other stuff.
Jonathan HeeterGUEST
Middle Aid itself is about two years old.
Jonathan HeeterGUEST
We've grown a ton in two years.
Ryan RichterHOST
I mean, yeah, a lot of this stuff isn't...
Ryan RichterHOST
Like, the frequencies are so vast, so wide, that they're not, like, really properly portrayed through, like, a scooped Fender amp or something like that.
Nate MercereauGUEST
Right, but that's, it's its own sound-
Ryan RichterHOST
It is, it is, yeah
Brian OmilionHOST
Mm-hmm
Mason MarangellaHOST
... and maybe they were using cleaner Fenders or maybe they were using cleaner Voxes, and some of those amps don't even have effects loops if it's, if it's kind of true to a vintage style Vox or Fender.
Brian OmilionHOST
Yeah.
Mason MarangellaHOST
That's just what they became accustomed to-
Hi-Fi HobbyistHOST
Following the launch of the company, Lansing designed the D130 15-inch transducer featuring a 4-inch voice coil and an Alnico 5 magnet.
Hi-Fi HobbyistHOST
The D130 became a benchmark driver for decades, widely adopted in both high-fidelity audio enclosures and musical instrument amplification, most notably by Fender.
Hi-Fi HobbyistHOST
Tragically, following financial struggles, James B. Lansing committed suicide in 1949.
Hi-Fi HobbyistHOST
Following the tragic death of James B. Lansing, Vice President William Thomas assumed leadership of JBL, stabilising the company's precarious finances and pivoting decisively toward the booming domestic high-fidelity market.
Tom PollardHOST
They were friends of my daughters, and they used to come over to see my daughters, but really they came over to play my gear.
Tom PollardHOST
You know, play through my Fender amps, and my Paul Reed Smith and my Les Paul, you know, they wanted to play my guitars.
Tom PollardHOST
And, you know, it was funny.
Tom PollardHOST
We ended up building a band.
Teppei TeranishiGUEST
And it it just snowballed into me being like, OK, I guess I'm making this whole thing from scratch.
Zach BlairHOST
Is it like Gibson style with glue in neck or neck through body or is it Fender style with bolt on neck?
Teppei TeranishiGUEST
I've tried all.
Teppei TeranishiGUEST
Okay.
Jeff LaplanteHOST
Yes.
Dave KropfHOST
Or fender studio.
Dave KropfHOST
I think it is.
Dave KropfHOST
I'm assuming it has like a sampler like that.
Chris MartinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And they're electronic acoustics and I really like them.
Chris MartinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then I use a, we all, me and Johnny both use Fender DeVille amps, which are brilliant.
Chris MartinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I play a Fender Telecaster and a Gibson 345, ES345, and a Rickenbacker 12-string.
Lily MoayeriHOST
Okay.
Chris MartinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that's my guitars.
Brian KehewGUEST
Oh, um, the nickname was the amp room, which is kind of different.
Brian KehewGUEST
We don't think of Fender amps or Gibson amps.
Brian KehewGUEST
Uh, they were thinking of amplifiers meaning rack-mounted boosters of signals-
Billy CorganHOST
Yeah
6 MINS LATER
Billy CorganHOST
Yeah.
Billy CorganHOST
Yeah.
Brian KehewGUEST
Whereas other things are very cool, but when I was growing up and into guitars and amps and things, if you wanted Fender and Gibson, you didn't want Danelectro, you didn't want Silvertone, and now those are cool, you know?
Billy CorganHOST
Yeah.
