Guys, FYI - Ward Carroll just did a live interview with Rick Beato, and Rick is wearing a “That Pedal Show” hoodie!!👍
YES! Nice one Rick!
I greatly appreciate your dedication to ensuring the audio represents what you hear rather than an audio that will get more clicks. That Pedal (Integrity) Show.
The video quality of your live streams is just stunning. Well done gents.
Hey glad you’re back! With new gear! And me I got a cheap, new-to-me 100w Fender Mustang III, about 12 years old lol, and a cable to connect my iPhone to AUX for practice and backing tracks. I’m in practice heaven. Old gear can still be awesome. Let’s go!
"the magic in that equation, is Tom Bukovac". I couldn't agree more. I've been watching and listening to him obsessively for some time, and I still can't believe anyone could be that good on guitar...
I agree..what a treat to hear him play !!
listening to you two go back and forth, I have an idea for a t shirt. "I think, therefore I amp."
I bought a $5 mic from Walmart to run into my ancient Fostex 4-Track CASSETTE recorder. I hung the mic 3 inches from a Danelectro Nifty Fifty and recorded a $300 Jay Turser resonator guitar into it and my roommate at the time who had roadied for bands like Aerosmith, Ministry, and Nine Inch Nails didn't believe me when I played him the tape.
I know a lot of it was luck in the combination, but I barely believed it myself.
I do love that these chats cover all the topics- gear recommendations, movie reviews, and recipes!
Torrefied quartersawn flame maple necks with only a tru-oil finish are a game changer. My two favorite guitars have them now. Moving forward that’s all I’ll have. I was always a rosewood guy previously for a lot of the reasons Mick talks about (sticky feel of finished necks). Tru-oil solves those issues. You can feel even the most subtle pick variations in your hand on the neck. It’s a great connection between hands.
Congrats on the Robben Ford connection. And, many, many thanks for sharing that with us!
Thanks fellas! You are the reason I (and a lot of people) have any ears 🙏 back to plugging through RJ and Jack Rauch’s lessons on Brett Papa. Such great players.
Always enjoyable! Thanks dudes!
It would be great an episode about recording… oh! And another about NOS tubes!
Yes, sounds very nice!
Those Toneverse shirts are fantastic! Can't wait to buy one!
The Robben Episode is gonna be fantastic
I love hanging out with you guys!
Please, get Alain Johannes on the show. Please, please, please.
A guy that has played with Flea, Jack Irons, Eleven, Chris Cornell, Queens of the stone age, PJ Harvey, Them Crooked Vultures (JPJones, Grohl and Homme!),... that guy has an episode and lots of effects! Also, he's the guy who sent Eddie Vedder to Seattle to sing on Pearl Jam!
Best overall tone I have ever heard: PRE Robben Ford Fender Esprit, Marshall JCM 900...and a CORD.
All adjustments on the tone and volume knob.
I'd have to play you the CDs to explain it, but it was magical to hear.
Man, my dog walking duties always cut in about half way through these days. Thank you for commenting about sample size/bit rate and the Apollo. After making some mistakes, I now understand how some interfaces, such as Apollo, address latency. I just dove into recording a few months ago, blindly, and hit a submerged rock first thing. Thinking it was all about powerful computers and thunderbolt interfaces, I got one of each. After a bunch of mistakes, I now understand the problem much better and would have gone with the Apollo or Heritage Audio (for Neve fans) or RME. Audio recording is such an incredible blast but around every corner there's something new to learn, and fast. My journey so far has been characterized by the dude constantly broken down by the roadside, debating whether to read a manual or pray to UA-cam. But then the deep internal nerd in me gets to fool around with the Waves Abbey Road collection and the geeking out couldn't be more fun. When things work properly...
(Oh my goodness! What a big dummy I am. I tuned 30 minutes late this morning and missed the talk about the interface with the X-twin for the headphone out. My Apollo question and context and was totally ignorant of the show's intro remarks!)
I believe torrified wood is essentially roasted in the absence of oxygen.
The Blackmagic ATEM does NOT feature balanced inputs so going from a mixer to an ATEM is going to cause noise + level issues. The Radial Pro-Iso Stereo XLR Isolator and Converter fixes the balancing issue and provides a clean and quiet signal for your live stream / recording into ATEM! Its the only thing that solved my problem coming out of a mixer and into an ATEM
I caught you guys at the Guitar Show (awesome) and was wondering if there would be any chance of the TPS band putting some recordings of some of your tunes in the future.
Great show last Friday, but that brings to mind something I’d love to hear you guys address. What options are there for dealing with cables from the pedal board back to the back line? There can potentially be a lot of cords, Here are some that come to mind.
Power
Acoustic Guitar
Electric Guitar Amp could have a few with reverb tremolo and channel switching.
Wet Dry or stereo
4 cable method.
I could go on & on, but you get the idea.
Don't know about theaters in the UK but here in 'merica they are soo loud. I've been wearing ear plugs for years when going to the movies. When my boys were young, they couldn't deal. Luckily theaters offer a sensory friendly option - house lights don't go completely dark and the sound is not so loud. And yes, Welcome to Wrexam is awesome. And season 2, man, every other episode is a tear jerker.
I've got one of those Austrian Audio C414-a-likes. Very very very good for the price.
idea for a show: how does one big amp compare to two smaller ones? Can you get that "authority" from a higher headroom (50/100) amp from two smaller (15-22) amps? How different does it feel between a bigger amp and two smaller amps?
Hey mick and Dan how you guys doing ? Love the show. I have a question about when you had Simon on the show with the juggler. I just purchased one and I was wondering when you went in front of the amp do you remember what your settings were. If you remember can you let me know. I took a picture of the settings you had on the juggler but I don’t what you had on the amp. I just love when Simon is on the show. He’s awesome. The pedals are great I have the harlot and the juggler. Juggler works great in the effects loop but I have my big sky going into my 68 bassman 50 amp so when when I run it into the effects loop on my solid state fender stage 100 amp it takes away the reverb. Should the juggler go last on my pedal board before the halo delay and my bigsky ? Cheers guys.
Hey Dan, just got to the bit about suggestions for a 'next-gen' Quartermaster (after 1:25:00). Something I could have used on my QMX6 is a TRS insert point between loops 3 and 4. Thus it could effectively become two QMX3s. I wanted to make a wet-dry rig on one relatively small 'board with a Humdinger between loops 3 and 4. In the end I went bigger! I got another 'board using a QMX4 along side my QMX6 'board. Happy days.
Yup action is LOUD, dialogue is whisper-quiet, and just about everything is filmed in the friggin’ dark. I tried watching that Star Wars Ahsoka series and it’s like Disney couldn’t afford lightbulbs. Brutal. Bring back a listenable, watchable balance!
Hahahha! Everything filmed in the dark. Totally! Amazing dynamic range of modern cameras…. They can’t resist filming what would have just been compete shadow years ago. :0)
@@ThatPedalShow in a fit of sad middle-aged nostalgia, I tried rewatching The X-Files last week, and 2 things stood out, 1, it was way, wayyy more violent and gory than I remember, surprisingly so for an American primetime show, and 2, they must have saved a lot of money by just shooting half the scenes in total darkness.
On the point about Ford’s hearing, I think the point Mick makes that the show is best when the musician is happiest is really key. If someone is happy plugging in direct with a mid-priced guitar, they won’t necessarily play better with more prestigious gear. However, those of us plagued by having had a mystical experience with old-fashioned will never be as happy in a compromised setting and thus will never play as well in that setting.
It’s always a balance. If all you have is something ‘compromised’ you have to work past it and find a way to connect. Make the show about audience, not about your displeasure. Be in the moment of what you have, not what you don’t have. But if you can do the work to make sure that moment has the best chance possible before it happens, well that’s okay too. ;0)
People conplain about the movies and tv having inconsistent volume between dialogue and action being a recent thing, but I watched fellowship of the ring last night (more than 20 years old at this point) and that suffers the same way, the opening war scene was deafening. That film has a terrible sibilance problem too.
I think it might've always been a thing
Being a cheapskate I just replaced the daisy chains on my grab-and-go boards with some "power distribution" strips that take a USB C input power, have 6 x 9V DC outputs, plus a USB output. So I suppose you could theoretically chain them together and have the world's cheapest modular supply.
I am also using a Joyo rechargeable power supply coupled with a Mooer L6 Mk 2 switcher as part of my first foray into "let's stop the tap dancing" land, the other part being a board I rebuilt around a Joyo PXL-8 switcher.
I discovered a new truth about pedal boards: Ad a switcher and watch the size of your board double :)
Per:1:39:00> i low-class-van-toured for years and my les paul was always on the road, home in san antonio, home in new orleans, tuning was a problem everywhere (it is worth mentioning that i knew very little pre covid about guitar care). I gave up and started through Reverends entire catalogue. I settled on the cross cut. I haven't had to think about tuning at all on trips between san antonio and new orleans or san antonio and Nashville. Roasted necks on all the ones ive recorded with. Tuned up, did the thing. I dont know if its true, but im a believer.
On the, what would we do for more views. I know it's not a usual TPS thing, and lots of people do it, but I think it would be a hugely entertaining show if you both went to Anderton's and did a rig for a 1000/1500 quid episode. Having access to such high end gear, I'd love to see what you'd both pick on a budget, and why.
Hey Mick, glad to see you back! - as somebody whose tone & speaker choices often line up with mine, and as a Zilla 1x12 user, how would you describe the G12-65 relative to other famous Celestions? Everybody mentions the Dumble thing, but they were in a million stadium-rock 4x12s too, and Jimmy Page was none too Dumbly. P.S. Have you tried/heard/loved/hated the Redback H150?
With a 30 per cent hearing loss on the high end ,,, the audio sounds great ,,, not from loud amps but from being in the industrial industry !
The Cranborne Camden EC2 might be a good add on to your Apollo 16. Because it's a great mono mic pre-amp, with colour options and you can always use that. But it's also a great headphone amp. Cranborne have the 500r8 too that you can use instead of a console. It's an interface, summing mixer, 500 enclosure and zero-latency mixer. You can pack it with 500 modules instead, more compact and probably cost you less than a similar quality mixer, especially if you have a brace of 500-series modules already.
Hey guys, your enthusiastic is so inspiring. Can I ask, do you ever have spells where you just don't want to pick up the guitar? I recently saw a negative comment about my playing and it has really knocked me back - now it seems I'm letting life get in the way!!
Get back on the horse Matthew. If you’re serious about understanding some of this and ready to ask yourself some tough questions read a book called The Courage To Be Disliked by a couple of Japanese dudes. It’s tough medicine but unravels all of this well. Good luck!
I’ve got a Roasted Flame Maple neck on the rack waiting for you Mick to add to the sparkle orange Cutler Custom 😊
Canb/Oz If not too late ... what are the non-benefits of using a dual cable into either two amps or two inputs on a pedal board. They say never but why?
Dan - Thorpy FX Camoflange or PRS Wind Thru the Trees. What is your opinion? Both seem excellent and I would like to know what you think the strengths of each is so I can get the better one for me...
Recording to tape - because running a DAW-based studio is just too easy :p
Guys I’m looking to purchase a new amp I’m torn between the Tone King Imperial mkii combo and the Victory V 40 deluxe combo. I do use several different drives etc which to you guys like the “best”? Thanks
If Robben is in on the 19th, please please please can we have the episode on Friday 22nd!
Per 1:26:00: 🤚qmx8 with two stereo loops would be perfect!
Sorry Dan lmao 🤣😂🤣😂
Boys, if Brad Paisley and Zac are in Europe, please tell me they’ll be on the show.
Please….
Anyone able to find a link to the Robben Ford video with Dan that they were talking about?
There’s a short clip on Robben’s Instagram. The full vid with Robben hasn’t happened yet…
Alex at Bareface says his cabs are light as a by product of his construction process and he didn't set out to make light cabs just good sounding cabs
Buzzin about Robben
Y'all need an old fashion lab coated Engineer!
Hi Guys
It would be great if you had timestamps and subject/question headers as not all of us can spare the time to sit through 2 hours to see if there’s a question that interests us.
Cheers
Love the show
I have bad GAS but it’s in the colon not in the head.
Apropos: charges last week: I'm happy for you to keep my money, but would appreciate advice on what to do about a Hiwatt Custom 7 I picked up over Xmas. It is icepick clean, even with the volume and gain maxed out (plus the fatct I can dime it at all is a bit of a worry, given that I wouldn't get the AC4 or Supro Super before the flat windows start rattling. Does this sound like believable Hiwattness, or do I need to get it looked at? Have now tried jumping the inputs, it's still completely gritless. Also have a powerdriver-type thing to plug in as a next step.
Apropos the Nolan/Tenet sound effects: clearly the man has absolute contempt for whoever writes his dialogue. The "we mixed it for imax and you saw it in a small theatre" line is deeply crass; plus the fact he keeps making Tom Hardy speak through a mask to produce lousy wooly waffle is irksome as all hell. Everything up to the Dark Knight was great, though.
Eighthmaster?
Shame about the audio it really sucks and sujectively sounds about 20db down
Stick with it….
Just wear your glasses... or take them off. Please and Thank you.
Ah, it’s complicated. Can’t see near, see far perfectly. Varifocals make me nauseous, forgot my contacts. Meh.
Makes total sense now thank you! :) @@ThatPedalShow
FENDERS CUT THROUGH THE MIX BETTER THAN GIBSONS MY OPINION
I HAVE ALL TYPES OF GIBSONS A MURPHY LAG AND OTHER LES PAULS FROM SPECIALS TO AAA FLAME TOPS .BUT FENDER IS KING ILL TAKE MY TESAS TEA ULTRA OVER ANY OF THEM
