- Well, let's try again. It might just work…
We've been away a couple of weeks, but the internet munchkins have been pedalling hard. We //think// there's enough gas in the tank to get this one airborne.
No new superchats tonight - we'll answer the ones from two weeks again when the live show failed.
Welcome to our weekly live Q&A session - we talk guitars, amps and pedals of course, but sometimes also lawn-mowing, philosophy and other things.
And PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the channel. It's totally free, just click the button. It helps.
We're all here to hang out, ask better questions and be among likeminded humankind. So please do be kind and civil, or Master Blaster BV will have you out of there.

Thank you Dan & Mick ! Great stuff as always. Celebrating my 60th birthday today and grateful to have been a guitarist ( and pedal enthusiast ) for 46 of those years. Love it more than ever. Thank you two for keeping me informed on the latest and fueling my never ending tone chasing. Best Wishes - John
Happy Birthday ! Hope its one of your best ! Keep on keepin on !
Happy birthday John!
Happy Birthday John - I hope the next 60 are just as much fun!
@@ThatPedalShow Thank you !!!
@@jeffrywhite6008 Thank you JW !
Ty Tabor’s tone and technique is just phenomenal. Andy Summers rated him as one of his favorite guitarists which is one helluva recommendation.
You mean Mr. 250? 😂
I’d feel pretty great if he liked my playing.
Modelers work on the track work in the mix work for front of house and work for in ears and monitoring
If you don’t get the feels in the room
Try a new cab/speaker and try eqing the send to that speaker
You don’t just plug in and bam
Amp makers test and fiddle until they get it “correct “
Try that on a modeler and you’ll be surprised
Also running a tube pre or tube compressor helps a ton
Also output buffer and signal makes the biggest difference
excited to hear more about the Neve Preamps
Recently an audiologist tested me and found I had "classic noise induced hearing loss." Yes, from over 40 years of playing rock and roll! But, I wasn't in need of hearing aids, yet. After watching the "hearing" show, I ordered some variable attenuation earplugs from Minuendo. Adustable from 7 to 25 dB attenuation. I probably need them more at practice, but could use them at louder gigs. I sure hope they help preserve what I have left!
Fun fact, my wife used to babysit for Ty Tabor - they lived in the same apartment complex. He gave her a bunch of records too . Amazing player and definitely a great tone guy.
Great to have you back gents your faces and wisdom have been missed
Dan, the G3S range looks phenomenal!! Also after a year of chasing tone via digital means I have gone full circle and picked up the PRS MT15 lunchbox head and happy isn't the word. Loud Amps Forever
Have you seen the new Studio Rats Cornell Amp, looks and sounds killer
Nature of the Boost HAS TO BE A SHIRT!
As Dan mentioned showing off his pedalboard, I thought I’d chime in to say I’d love it if you both would do like a quarterly VLOG each on your pedalboards. You get to use so much amazing gear that it would be nice to see what you like enough to have your boards in a somewhat regular frequency.
You guys "fanboy" your hearts out, I love seeing people's dreams come true. I even got my girlfriend to watch both the Noel and Johnny vids and so many times I'd say something like, watch Dan's or watch Mick's face when this or that happens. The joy is infectious.
Dan I love you and I have to tease that you refuse to use the tone knobs on the guitar…make the leap my brother I promise you’ll like it
I was waiting for the line about the pick-up truck! Great job, you guys!
Welcome to the Dark Side Mick - I find my watch helps motivate me to keep working out. Nothing worse than being shamed by your watch for taking the day off!
After what you said about Gov't Mule, Mick, you need to see Tedeschi Trucks Band live! Warren and Derek are two of the greatest!
Always enjoyable and informative. Thanks gents!
Dan, not only does the SG sound heavenly, it also looks great on you. I mean, it looks like it’s a part of you. And oh yes , get Karl Longbottom on as a guest. Please.
Cheers mate 🤓🙏
Looking forward immenssly to Rothers coming on, whenever it may be. Off to see Marillion again for the 7th time in a couple of Friday's time in Wolverhampton, which is always a pleasure.
The shell of pretense denies the legitimacy of other's reactions that are on one's "list" to pretend not to care about. That shell is what allows one protection while judging instead of learning.
All love but they are guilty of this about modeling
They say they don’t know any honk worthy ppl playing them
Instead of trying and finding out
Honestly it’s all love so thankful for these 2 and this show
But it’s tiring hearing the misunderstanding and misconceptions about new tech
My favorite guitar ever in almost 40 years of playing is a Rickenbacker 330/12.
Gigged it live for about a year in a band that was basically a prog-metal band....I could shred on it better than any other guitar I have ever played and I only think I touched the tuners about half a dozen times for minor tweaks.
Every other guitar I played in that band would get most of a set of strings not only knocked out of tune on every song, but broken on a weekly basis.
Ohhh man, can't wait for the LVX episode. I'm loving mine. What did Dan say he's using for his regular delays??
A perfect UA-cam channel even better with a dog in it!!!
I've spent countless hours revisiting patch settings on my Digitech RP360 XP I needed for the church band. I cannot replicate many of the artist dedicated patches I've developed from suggestions and ccmparisons with recordings. The instant access to the sets of pedals far outweighs the "sound quality" most listeners probably won't notice. Not only the convenience, but the monetary saving and space and build requirements make these settings unobtainable any other way.
Time spent practicing "playing" without "thinking" must be apportioned separately from "theory" (logical thinking). The trick is to inform the "feeling" with the "new" information acquired through logic. When it's time to "perform" time has run out for thinking. I practice "not thinking" before meeting the band to contribute to their "practice". New ideas are explored afterwards, on my own time, in preparation for the next :practice session".
Hi Guys. I'm so glad you're back in the saddle and that the audio and video quality are so high. That seemed obvious the instant Dan was playing in. Your voices were clear and warm too. Well done. I wanted to follow up with yet more gratitude. Mick, as you're considering age 50, I just cleared 65, a number which sparks some reflection. After having left a challenging past life behind, mostly, I'm just another guy on a new learning curve. You two have made it wonderful. (As has TheGigRig.) I used to near the end of a very tough and sometimes gruesome day and find a moment's peace listening to music commuting home. Now, with your help, I'm learning to make my own noise and not once do I forget to be grateful, especially for what I've learned at TPS.
It's funny trying to condense a question using shorthand one hopes will be understood. But you two "get it", as is often said, so we're all in good hands. On the red light fever question, the more complete picture would have included it's in a 100% solo home studio where mics are placed, guitars tuned and (thank Goodness for pre-count) I hit the record button and turn to play. Or do vocals. The single word, "prepared", resonates most deeply. Another way to put that might be, "Get the engineering job done so the engineer can yield to the musician", rather than operate simultaneously, which must be the essence of my difficulty. Knowing my DAW better so it becomes second nature will help. (to say nothing of programming drum sounds, my nemesis) And Dan's thoughts, which might include losing the self consciousness and getting out of one's way and "If you want to get better at recording, record!" seem spot on as well. Thank you both. It went pretty well. And led to more learning about latency. And more questions... Cheers, guys. You help so many of us out here and I'm ever grateful. -G
I've experimented with both the 80/20 balance and the 20/80 balance of mid to edges. Both have "worked". One is "tighter" and the other "looser".
i played the pete townsend sg special. i was surprised by how much i like it.
I have "cheated" by using two stereo amps mounted over and under and fed by an A/B-Y. One amp is for acoustic guitar and the other for electric. I blend their volumes for balance of tone and clarity. I play a jazzy semi-hollow electric into this setup and it can sound like two different guitars blended and playing perfectly in unison. This works best in low dB settings (around 85dB).
If the "performer" role is embodied stress is accentuated and the music cannot be "artistic". If the "happy contributor" to the musical experience is embodied the music happens and the artist joins the audience.
"The Nature of the Boost" - there's a T-shirt
Mick: New internet is too damn expensive! Anyway here's my new Neve... The guitarist priority mindset at work
Hahaha! Not wrong.
Dear Dan and Mick! I love your show. I've learnt so much about tone and how pedals, guitars and amps work. Thank you for all that effort!!!
Is there any chance that you can make an interview with Daryl Stuermer (Genesis, Phil Collins)? I love his technique and tone but especially about his sound in the early 90s you do not find a lot of information. All the best!
Mick, think you’re right about Dan and neck pickups - that Galanti I brought down on the last exp day I’m not sure he realised it had a bridge 😂
When I am playing along and an unfamiliar song is heard (whose lyrics have not yet stolen the arrangement) I simply play what the underlying instrumentation suggests to me. Lyrics and singers come and go while the "song" remains for me to interpret. That initial creative interpretation may never be repeated as the "song" become familiar. Only the songs which are well integrated with the instrumental arrangement are capable of providing the platform for me to re-arrange (sometimes in other styles).
The tone control thing right at the end is so funny.
Mic, 50 is just getting started. I’m hittin it next year and couldn’t be happier.
What do you guys think about shielding your guitars' electronics? What pros and cons do you see and what about shielding and guitar tone?
Biffy clyros discography is FASCINATING
How about a show about pedals from companies that have gone out of business?
Mick, on the negative feedback thing - I think you've said that you used Rectifiers at one point or another, and the primary difference between Vintage and Modern modes on a Recto is that Modern removes negative feedback. You get all that crazy bass and low-mid WHOOMP, all that extra gain, all that bonkers 10k+ presence, etc. As you say, it's just one design element, but a lot of amps that feel "loose" and "hairy" and "greasy" can attribute that sense partly to low NFB, and likewise with high NFB and amps that feel "tight," "controlled," "focused," and so on. (NFB really comes into its own as a variable at either high preamp gain or high power amp output, whichever the amp is designed for.)
The difference in top end between a black Fender and a Vox is partly a negative feedback thing too - that insane edge-of-chaos crushed-glass effect in a cooking AC15 or AC30, that harmonic waveband up past the place "Fender treble" rises to, is there partly because it's not being tempered or cancelled by negative feedback, as it would be in most amps.
Speaking of Yamaha pedals, here's a show idea. A board with your most unknown/weirdest pedals, ready for a gig.
Had to catch this one in pieces because I kept falling asleep because of jet lag from a tip to Japan, where I bought…… a Maxon SD-9!
I think the intest in the pedal has at least as much to do with the pedal as it does to trying to capture the fantastic technique of ML and SH.
About the trex echorec. I remember someone complaining about the same thing. The noise was too loud. Apparently, you should clean the drum prior first usage! It was a sweetwater video I believe. The guy said that this was in the instruction manual.
We did that. Thoroughly, and to the letter. It’s not drum noise. I have made a follow up video using it as outboard - next Tuesday!
Shawn Colvin mentioned by Mick. Let’s give props to guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer John Leventhal, who is one of my favorite guitarists, because he flies under the radar so much but he’s incredible.
Hear hear! Dan and I were just talking about him over dinner. Fantastic work.
Deep Purple, Marillion, Rainbow (Dio era), The Carpenters
I had a bestie in HS who had matching 90's (or late 80's) Duo-Sonics in red and black, (with those GD white pick guards, but at least maple fretboards) And that was my intro into that tele feel. I've always been dying to make a pair using 4 swappable tele pickups, 2 slanted left and two slanted right dan armstrong style, with the 5 way tele mod.
Regarding amplifier voltages vs the voltages coming from the mains, I have a habit of monitoring the heater voltage and make note of where the variac is at 6.3VAC on the heaters. Then bias the amp accordingly. I have a Framus Dragon that is super happy at 117VAC. My 1981 Marshall JCM 800 is happy at 115VAC.
Do you do the same whether in US or UK (or elsewhere with different voltages)?
@@johndrowe5281 I’m only in the US.
@@jesseyasaitis9036 thank you for responding. Keep those amps happy 😃. God bless 🫶✌️♾️.
I still use a Roland VS880 to record on , I purchased it when it was first released . I tried going the Laptop and interface route but it was to confusing . So yes im a complete dinosaur when it comes to recording . Im the complete opposite with Guitar Pedals .
Do you have access to Starlink in your location? We have it at a very remote location we’re I work, high in the mountains, on a glacier. Our Wi-Fi works very well out there.
Failed to mention that location is in Alaska.
It is. We have two other alternatives as well. All equally compromised I’m sure. Mick here
You should give the H6 away to a Patron or some long-time viewer or else enshrine it in the studio. (IMHO)
Get ahold of Lindy Fralin, here in the states. He makes a hum canceling P90
What about the OD stacking idea being "spread out" across two amps so that each pedal/amp pairing is most beneficial. When one or the other amp is more driven than the other the quality of the overall sound should be "bigger" (read better).
Great VCQ as always. Looking forward to Friday and next week. Great new sound set up too. Quick question for Dan, Mick, or anyone watching... covered humbuckers, or uncovered with the option to roll back the tone control?
I would choose whatever you like the look of best / that’s most appropriate for the guitar. And tweak from there. Mick here. :0)
@ThatPedalShow thanks Mick!
I'll play the Mt. Rushmore Game:
The Silos.
The Doors.
Bowie.
Hendrix.
Nothing wrong with the old ways Mick we should all go back and see if indeed new is better mmmmmm
Surprised the Leg-Ends didn't come up with "TOE" from the T-Shirt TONE shenanigans 😂
I have failed to become interested in an SG, probably due to my having a DeArmond S73. I may not sound the same as the Gold Foil pickups are brighter. Once I learned to turn down the tone knob it has become indispensable.
Mount Rushmore of guitarists would be based on influential so,
Berry, Hendrix, EVH & Govan! My personal Rushmore would be Paige, Young (either or) SRV & Bettencourt.
Isn't the black Ripley Fall from their bass series?
I'm not eligible for the giveaway, but I'd love to hear a comparison of the 2 (guitar version vs. bass version) to see how similar they are. Same for the Lucy Dreamer, Rattler, Dynassaur, Whacko, and Red Muck.
To clarify, I mean each on guitar and/or each on bass to see the difference in response and function, and if there's a justification for 2 separate units.
Friendly, algorithm-boosting comment 😊
Thank you!
Jeff Buckley for the win!
Always a great show laughs and learning. Shame about your internet woes. Can’t believe you haven’t got the Starlink solution. Wouldn’t it be tax deductible? My friends in rural Devon rave about it. Thanks for all you do 😊
A Lambo is tax deductible too, but it still costs you oooodles of cash. Starlink is one option yes, there are two others that are more palatable. Cheers!
A Lambo is deductible on that side of the tub? i have decisions to make. lol.@@ThatPedalShow
Mick continues to misrepresent Jim Lil’s video… just get him on the show.
He’d be totally welcome to come on!
Love you guys, love the show and am so grateful that you guys put this out every week. But I have to say I was a little hurt to have RAP singled out negatively in such a way. We're all entitled to our opinions of course, but just thought that was off-color. I know you didn't mean for it to come out that way, as I'm often thinking, "gee, I wish I could say things as articulately and diplomatically as Mick", (and I'd come up with far worse statements every 20 minutes if I were on your stage!). But, for the record, it has to be said that RAP is one of the greatest of all time, defining the archetypical golden god of rock as well as being able to melt your heart in Band of Joy or singing in tandem with AK. Nobody but Robert could have sung in Zeppelin.
Ah come on. No need to get attached to, or hurt by, an opinion. We all like different stuff, and I’ve just always struggled with English people sounding American. Same with Jagger. It could be entirely projection on my part because those are the sounds and music in my head too (American music) and it’s how I often end up sounding. But it’s a mask; a persona; a fabrication. It’s an act. I like stuff that’s served straight from the centre of the soul - the real person, no filter.
But I totally get that millions of people see it very differently. I wouldn’t be hurt by what they think or feel. Cheers!
Fair enough! Cheers
alright Mick, where did the contact lenses go?
I forgot to put them in this morning! I keep forgetting. Doh! I wear them maybe 3 days out of 7. Ish. Maybe 4 of 8. It’s a qualified success. Vision not as good - slightly worse close, slightly worse long, but on production days the convenience saving is worth it. Maybe like digital modelling for the eyes. Not what you’d choose in an ideal world, but the world is far from ideal.
Rooter? Rowter!
Rowter could also be read as rotor
@@LiteralApe Yeah, I realised that after.
Starlink?
Please take your hat off indoors
Don’t be so old-fashioned.
Please find something meaningful to criticize.
I still believe that there is an awful lot of extraneous, musical bloviating that is unnecessary and a wee irritating when one has other things to do in their day. I almost feel as though we are interrupting your teatime or your morning coffee. It could just be me and my current temperament; but, if you are not educating us or relaxing us with learned repartee, then time is being wasted - precious time in retrospect.
As it stands, I have given up and decided simply to watch your “live chats“ - well, chats in general, retroactively. That way I can fast forward. Perhaps someday, I will miss something important…🤷🏼♂️.
