I received my Page a couple of weeks ago, and have my first gig with it on Saturday. Best tone I've had in 30 years.
That's great - hope it works well for you in the band!
Simon is one of my favorite people on the planet!! Always a pleasure to see the three of you chatting it up!!
Man, as much as I love the human nature discussions (and I genuinely do) that play-out did my heart so much good. Thanks, lads.
Yeah man. That's what it's really about! Big love to you G!
I have the constable and blew the fuse on it accidentally by plugging in wrong power supply into it...emailed simon and had answer by the next day and issue was corrected, my error was noted with power supplies and found correct power supply. GREAT customer service and GREAT preamp/pedal. Using it right now with Pathfinder 15 (i know solid state BUT fantastic pedal platform and clean sound) into a 12 inch jenson P12Q. Wonderful sound. Toss in a drive pedal and the reverb on Vox P15
Still remember very fondly when I called Kingsley a few years back to order some pedals, and it was Simon on the phone! Had a great quick chat, ordered three pedals from the best pedal maker out there. Feels like have to have a Harlot as well so likely will make the call again soon! Thanks for the show gentlemen!
Where have you been dude. Simons' an inspiration.
Love you guys. This was a great time spent in the company of kindred spirits
Simon made me an amp several years ago. It’s magical and he has always been very kind and helpful. Class act and a monster player
Best outro ever!🌵🐾
Please come visit Simon in Vancouver. I'd love to see a Pedal Show event here!
Beautiful ending, to a great VCQ 💜🙏🏼✨
I've always loved War of the Worlds. About 10 years ago, I met Chris Spedding who played the guitar on the recording (and is still on the tour!) but I didn't know he'd played on it when I met him. Missed a golden opportunity to nerd out!
Great to have Simon on the show again, his pedals are so inspirational to play with, the tone, feel and dynamics are second to none! I think TPS should get a Kingsley amp next, I would be very interested to hear one played at volume.
👍🏿🤘 I obtained a Page V2 after seeing it featured on TPS - have never looked back and it never leaves the board - and recently added an Artisan and Mason to my board. Just wowser to those pedals, the Artisan in particular. What a piece of functional art it is.
Very glad to hear that you like the pedals!
These silly outros fill me with such joy ❤
Michael Mosely did important work in Aus too, one of the good guys. Vale.
Glenn's context is in metal. Where the amount of gain is much greater than where Dan and Mick play at. The more gain, the less the individual components have an effect on overall tone. Glenn's point is the object creating the sound, the speaker, has the greatest effect on tone.
Looking forward to my next Kingsley pedal. On order!
Yes! Relative tonal characteristics always are qualified by the interaction of components. It's always about the relationship and contribution of each to the whole. Each amp is remembered for the result of its systemic interactions. Electric guitar playing is remembered for its resultant invocation to the listener as the artist interacts with the system(s) utilized for that session - live or recorded. There is "life" in the playing of an "artist" even with the small audience of a recording session. The "artist" is always aware of the value of reception (as yet only assumed) regardless of the "size" of the listening pool at the current offering. The preceding statement may shed some light on reports of venue experiences where the "band" is not deterred by the relative quantity of listeners in the room.
Havent watched yet, but came for the playing!!!! Simon is one of my favorite players
The guy is magical! He's one of the biggest secrets in musicianship! Truly.
Argh... missed it due to work! But catching up on it now!🤘😎🎸
Q&A with a guest is always good
Great show leg-ends and wonderful to see Simon again. Loved the ARC v VID theory. Put ARC on a t shirt I’ll buy one for each of the family! Wishing you all a good week!
Love when Simon drops by to, with British-Canadian politeness, provide strong opinions based on facts. VCQ Theme 06/10/2024: Opinion vs. Fact. While everyone is entitled to an opinion (reflecting feelings, preferences, beliefs, interpretations, etc.), not all opinions are valid when erroneously elevated to fact (objective, measurable, reproducible, verifiable, predictive, etc.). My opinion that ”Rosewood fretboards sound better” is not the same as “Rosewood is different from Maple” (audible, tactile vibration, stickiness, durability, etc.). Equally, citing another’s subjective opinion ("Mick said...") does not make my subjective opinion more valid/factual. Anyway, in my opinion, a future definition of Alexander Pope’s “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” will include dates referring to our current times (Notice: ‘a’ not ‘the’ future definition…). 😆
Just came to back Mick up, the Red Llama did come from the Anderton Tube Sound fuzz 🤘😂
Mick, if you were referring to my recent recommendation for Harley Benton cabs, I just consider it a matter of cost vs benefit. You are right that we or mics are more likely to hear cabinet panel resonances as the speaker to cabinet distance ratio increases, but less so if a cabinet is covered with vinyl. Plain old white pine is supposed to have a very nice resonance quality. Lightweight enough to be audible, and not enough upper midrange to sound raspy. That would be worth trying at some point. There's a 1x12 cab design called "AX84" you can build yourself that's intended for Greenback style speakers (not Blues or V30s). For better bass from a 1x12 cab, it would be a good candidate for a 100W Weber Ceramic 1230-55 or Legacy 12 55Hz-- cheaper than a Celestion G12H30-55Hz, and more options to choose from (the 100W versions have an Aluminum voice coil to sound like the 30W versions) -- doping, cone & dust cap type, and magnet size. FI, you could go with a 40oz magnet with the Ceramic Legacy 12 55Hz cone for a more "syrupy" high-end. The 1230-55 has a cloth surround that softens the 2.5~3.5kHz a bit. I wouldn't go with less than the 50oz magnet with it, but would choose Pre-Rola doping. Some may find it not bright enough if you consider a 75Hz Greenback or Blue a reference. Mixing them is a good option.
Read 'Valve Wizard' or Rob Robinette on phase splitters
I love his stuff - great books and circuit explanations!
Picked up a Kingsley Amp on Reverb last year. Paid big bucks for it (as you'd expect) but, my god, what a complex / rich tone!
Hope you enjoyb the amp Daniel!
I appreciate your comments about an aluminium pickguard, like the one on my Tele Ultra.
I was thinking about removing it, but now it stays on.
Thanks lads, always enjoy all your videos!
Nothing beats analog for music ie records on a turntable or guitar with a real amp or conversing with real people .keep up the good work this show is awesome .
Gold ❤
I have the Source Audio programable EQ on the end of my pedal board (4 cable method) - always on. I have a mid hump, boosted low & diminished high, mid slump, and diminished low & boosted high options at the ready. I am enamored with presets and use them on OD and EQ and Modulation for quick access.
I'm a big fan, 71 years young, of both TPS and Andertons and would like to request a show using the D&M drive, Harmonious Monk MK2 and The Dane together on your board. An idea for another show is to have PRS send a new DGT15 and a HDRX20 for your Wet/Dry setup. Hope you agree these are good ideas and can include them in your future plans.
I love the sound and feel of the Radial JDX Direct Drive pedal for amp-less play. I like it much more than the OxBox or Kemper. (I’m probably in the minority here). Cheap by comparison, it makes my pedalboard FEEL familiar.
Tech 21 made the first power cab I ever heard about and I've tried my Roland BC-60 as a power cab but preferred its preamp channels to what I plugged into it.
I saw that Napalm Death tour after Barney broke his leg! It was rad, screamed his head off from a seated position. Got a minor concussion myself, that was the day I officially retired from the pit 🫡
Dan would be a rainbow machine by EQD ‘cause he’s always cheerful/positive
I love watching Dan’s reaction when he get upgraded!
My late 90s Roland BC-60 has a knob for blending in pre-amp into effects return as needed. This may be a singularly unique feature which I've found very useful when effects are more desirable than drive. I do have to step up to the amp control panel, however, to make that selection. This relieves me being tempted to tweak drive settings.
LOVE a triple intro
*and Rosie ❤
Given my history with tech, I'd have to be a Data Corruptor
I'm partial to purchasing $500 guitars for $400 which are worth $600 in 20 years - but I still want to keep them. Relatively small outlay, plus discounted pricing, plus reasonable utility, plus increasing in resale value (slightly above inflation rate) = win, win, , win, win!
Kingsley analog version of a Flint: All tube Reverb and Tremolo. MY DREAM
Wouldn't a decent analog plate reverb require a pedal roughly the size of a small Volkswagen? 😄 (Obvs I'm assuming you're just talking about the spring which would still be fairly big, but doable...)
Great idea. I would be all over this.
I have thought of this, but I'm afraid it wouldn't fit in a pedal...or it would be rather big!
Shift from big band to Louis Jordan Tympani 5 as a touring dance band laid the foundation for rock and roll, enabled simply by amplification. Five people could play as loud as 17.
Apparently it is less laborious and more cost effective to scale up production of a smaller system than a larger one. The relative contribution to the system of creator producer and distributor is the focus which allows the process to continue.
Some have advised adding shielding only to back of the pickguard and not to the cavity. This is touted as to provide sufficient barrier to 60 cycle interference.
Celluloid strat pickguards make a huge difference compared to modern plastic ones in my experience. Thanks!
Simon was very cool about his guitar skills. We've heard him play on previous episodes of TPS; as a player he's a bit intimidating himself.
I keep a volume pedal on my board for swells and muting - otherwise it's full on. I also have options of amp channel selection (via foot switch), boost pedal and OD pedal (with 3 presets).
On the Glenn Fricker comments, I think that there is a distinction to be made between somebody saying that wood, pickups, scale length, construction, anything, doesn’t “make a difference”. Saying something doesn’t “make a difference” and saying that something is “not different” are not the same thing. It doesn’t make a difference to the audience whether I play through a Marshall JCM800 or a Victory Super Sheriff. But there is a difference in sound.
Glenn mixes a lot of different styles of metal music, and so the important thing is that the song sounds good and is well recorded. The specifics of the gear make no difference in that setting when the goal is not to have the best “tone”. The goal is to capture the best performance and make that the focus.
Just my rambling thoughts. 😁
I have to admit, Glenn has grown on me. Not so much as a primary source for audio elated knowledge, but I appreciate his purpose to save us some money above all. Over the years he's softened his opinion somewhat on what he feels matters in a guitar sound, whereas he even essentially ignored the results of some of his own tests in the past. Yes, the loudspeaker matters most to the tone, but not only tone that matters.
Funny that he is so adamant about not wasting money on things that barely make an audible difference, yet he just spent ~$100k on a Neve console, the difference in results from which could possibly be better achieved with a set of free digital plugins -- FI, the AirWndows 'Console 8' suite for console channel & buss interaction "glue" (with the added bonus of freq overlap distortion build up reduction for better clarity), and something like the Analog Obsession 'PreBox' for channel preamp coloration options. Variety Of Sound has some stellar transformer effects and rack compression unit emulations. Again, all free.
I fell in love with tube amps in part because of the smell of burning tubes. They smell so good. To me, a cooking amp is like baking cookies.
The Line 6 FRFR also models other cabinets and speaker combinations: 4x12 Celestion, JBL, Jensen, 1x10, 1x8, etc, etc
sounds like Mick’s been working on a lot of Passion & Warfare licks 👍
No, just that one!
In the 80's the piano designers from Yamaha told me that wood can vibrate and add energy but wood also absorbs sound. In the case of the PU only picking up what it gets from the strings wood can absorb sound and deny it from sending it to the PU's.
The aluminum pick guard may be insulating the wood from taking the amount or the assortment of frequencies reaching the PU's.
Add to that then different kinds of woods will absorb and hence rob the PU's of different frequencies being amplified.
Hybrid picking causes me to be more aware of string excitement than fingers alone or pick alone (rarely used). That may be due to having to hold something which cannot feel.
@44:10 Dan - the Stugotz is strong in you
I'm still waiting for the digital tube to replace the vacuum ones. I doubt that it will ever really happen. In the meantime I'm required to embrace digital technology (or cope with it) as I may (out of necessity). The best of both (or as many as may be involved) is my aim in all that I do. At times only a un-plugged acoustic is capable to "reset". Imperceptible latency may,, someday, be married to sonic qualities and allow a level of compatibility not yet achieved between digital and analog approaches.
"Yes, it's called sheet music."
I spat out my beer!!!
Again, Aluminum (which is paramagnetic) around the pickups generates a low level magnetic feild the same polarity as the flux lines from the strings driving it. That creates eddy currents that affect the coil Voltage-- not only shelving the high end above ~1kHz by a few dB (with a 1.6mm Al pickguard), but further electrodynamically reducing just the upper-mids. The effect depends on the thickness and proximity to a coil. It apparently doesn't happen in an adjacent coil HB because the effect of the feild on each side is canceled by the reverse phase coils.
Plastic can actually cause audible noise in a coil due to static build up. Crackling when strumming or brushing against the guard is a sign. Wiping it down with a static absorbing cloth may remedy that.
So long as tubes (valves) need to be biased, so do I.
Re. "standing on the baffle". 'Silent' bass players can already use vibrating platforms that physically that add to the IEM mix. E.g. Porter & Davies.
"Pedals (and amps) designed by players who understand dynamics" - Yes, Simon is all that! But Leo Fender, who didn't play guitar at all, would like a word :).
The Glen Fricker thing about pickups, tubes, wood etc not making a difference is often misunderstood.
He actually quotes that he finds pickups/tubes/wood to not make much difference to his sound in a RECORDING environment under HIGH GAIN. He admits that even in these situations Humbuckers sound different from Single Coils. He also admits that these things make a difference in other styles of music with less gain/not miked and in the room sound, but doesn't care because his channel is about Recording high gain Metal only.
Yeah, that is a great point. It sounds much more like the Glenn we know in fact!
Some say they can smell the difference in a Gibson finish and another's.
I agree with y’all about the metal pickguard, but I put a 3d printed guard an a strat and it muffled all the sustain somehow
The conversation from ARC to VDI was interesting and I agree but the association between orchestral music to rock band music 'could' be seen as worse but the rock band format gave music to the common person, stopping the upper class gentry from owning it as a form of entertainment, utilising cheaper equipment with less focus on academic music skill. Now the shift to VDI doesn't liberate anyone in the same way but it does have utility. I will speak in favour of silent discos and bands plying silent with the audience wearing headphones as a unique and fun experience, especially when the audience have a choice of what they are listening to - that is a special thing to witness when everyone is singing and dancing to different things at the same time (ATG fest is great for that) especially AFTER a loud live show; an after party.
Both formats can be communal but live music is special in that everyone is having a shared physical experience over a singular performance. To look at a stranger when you are overwhelmed with something dope that just happened and to just feel those pressure waves...it also makes a much bigger difference with the band playing as well, with things loud you can see artists getting lost in the moment and that is invaluable.
At 41:40 - this is a Baudrillard riff! “Simulation and Simulacra”.
Professional Rugby mouthguards now have pressure sensors which are monitored to check for head impact as part of concussion checks
Woah! Amazeballs.
Someday I’ll get a Kingsley pedal. A dream!
Which one do you want?
All of them lol. Maybe a Juggler or a Maiden or a Page or a Constable… I’d have to assess the best for me if I ever got to that point. Do you have any, and if so which one(s)?
@@astewart9410 I have the juggler, harlot, maiden bf (fender preamp), page. Constable on order. Depends on your music. I have a fryette power station and I use these with that or amp depending. I think a maiden preamp is amazing platform for clean tone, add a page boost and it’s awesome.
@@AlanTwilley Man that's lovely. You have so many!! Myself, I play mostly clean (with big reverb - think Jeff Buckley, Chris Isaak, etc) so that does indeed sound lovely! Part of my not pulling the trigger is that I don't have a tube amp, just a Boss Katana 50 MkII (with a MkI connected ABY via Radial Big Shot), which is great for home play (I don't gig), but maybe not the best vehicle for those great works of pedal art. I could be wrong... they address it briefly in this chat, but running these into a digital amp seems wrong lol. I do have the D&M Drive too...
There are very very few pedals I would willingly recommend irrespective of the player or the rig, but the Kingsley Page would be one of them. In my opinion it's a modern classic. It can be a solo boost, a low gain drive, an always one tone enhancer adding a touch of tube compression to a stiff or sterile backline....It is one of those rare universal pedals.
Im still surprised Jim Lill is so often quoted. While Kris Barocsi did awesome video, with stellar sound quality, where he took 2 custom shop Gibsons and switched all the hardware, electronics (basicaly all that is possible to remove without luthier work) between them and still the character of those guitars prevailed and they sounded distictly different.
And the Guitaristas made awesome video, with modding Epiphone 335, where he showed how huge impact can have simple thing like replaceing stop tail (from all the things you can exchange).
And still its Jim Lill and his videos with dubiuos sound quality and many technical errors on how to conduct and experiment.
We hear you. The whole thing is confusing to me - Mick here - but still I rise to it. More accurately, my ego rises to it. Part of what Dan and I are doing is encouraging people to move from a position of assumed knowledge, belief and motivated cognition, to a point of actual knowledge and experience. In short, don’t believe what they tell you on the TV, kids. No matter what anybody tells you - including us - you don’t know until you know.
Meantime there are a great many people who want you to believe what they believe, and that’s a whole other thing. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow well said Mick 👍
Regarding metal around pickups! This is a real electro-magnetic property called "shading" and occurs in any adjacent conductive metal, ferrous or not! Current is induced in aluminum pickguards, brass or nickel pickup rings or bottom plates in the presence of magnetic flux. Shaded pole electric motors use this effect in order to impart a rotation direction! Shading metal will affect the inductance of the coil, which affects the signal induced.
...via eddy currents. Aluminum and Nickel are paramagnetic, and Brass is diamagnetic. The tonal effect is different, and it's affected dynamically by the fluxing feild coming from the strings.
can also act as a shorting ring (as in hifi speakers)
@@halvach1998 Yes, a test was done in 2016 with different alloy pickup covers. It has more effect as a cover than around the pickup, probably because of the total surface area in relation to the coil. They all reduced the Q and affected inductance up or down just a bit with varying effects on noise. Here's the test "Guitar Pickup Theory #7: Effect of pickup cover material on tone and noise".
1:24:55 This conversation has me hoping for an amp taste-off episode
I can look at a desert and both smell and taste many of them (by memory) to the point of satiation without triggering a sugar consumption cycle. If I take a bite I'm off on that sugar ride - once again.
Ah, yes, my church worship team uses an electronic drum kit but I'm stood next to an electric baby grand with a downward facing speaker which cannot be turned off and I can always feel it. I have to turn the piano down in my ears just to cope. No one else can "feel" themselves. They refuse to disconnect the speaker (they say) for fear of voiding the warranty. I suspect the pianist is just addicted to the "feel" of the instrument. All instruments are "silent" except for that one.
I wish/want Tony McKenzie in VCQ.
30:36 - Polymer Records? Arty Fuffkin?
Whole Lotta (never enough) Rosie!
Damn, I missed this one! I would have had so many questions for Simon. What is the best way to get notified for future VCQ sessions?
They happen pretty much every Monday at 5pm UK time. Cheers!
Just one layer of Cu or Al tape around a SC pickup will effectively reject the electronic noise increasingly present in our modern gadget infested world but has no significant effect on magnetic flux noise.
Folks, I'm wondering if there's any difference between the Boss Super Shifter PS5 and Harmoinzer PS6? I saw St. Vincent in the Royal Albert Hall last week and wow what a show! I know Annie used the ps5 for the longest time, so presuming it's still the one on her board making the wild pitch shifting noises, haven't been able to find one used with a reasonable price including shipping so wondering if the new model does the thing... cheers
31:11 If it’s a completely silent stage I won’t be there! Lol
What do these venues do when someone like Melvins or Jucifer or, gods forbid, Sunn O))) come through!? 😂
I think they don’t book them. Or they don’t agree to play there!
31:52 It’s a question of convenience and control (the bad kind) for the sound person a lot of the time. I just ran into this over the weekend playing a solo gig opening for 3 full bands. My thing is loud doom county with the occasional fuzz and octaves through two amps. New sound guy at my classic old venue told me to turn down at sound check. I have no drums. No bass player. Just an acoustic guitar through two amps. Hundred watt Fender Twin Reverb (on 3) and a 15 watt Orange Tiny Terror through a Marshall 1x12 cab (volume halfway up). What is the deal with these people?!
Why is the volume so low on this episode. Not complaining - just asking
glen fricker said that for very high gain metal recordings - only
That makes more sense. Not least after they compress/gate/EQ the absolute crap out of it.
@@ThatPedalShow he also said using a different speaker cab is more different to the tone than pickup changes. -for high gain metal. and u dont have to be deaf to understand that
Ad blockers are available.....
Mick, I've been meaning to ask. How do you get a mid-side room mix with just 2 x AKG C414XLS mics? You'd need three mic channels for mid-side. And how's about "Boutique, or not Boutique? That is the..."
1:34:00 I had recently exaclty same experience, its very strange and it was not fun at all.
Mick, if you haven't heard him, I saw Matt Garrison a few years ago with Jack DeJohnette and Ravi Coltrane, and I walked out of there in the fugue state of knowing I'd just seen the best bass player in the world, and maybe ever. He is inhuman. I spent the rest of the night thinking "Jaco, I'm so sorry, but ..."
("Best" is stupid - the essence of it was the same thing I've felt a few other times, especially with Chick Corea: "You may prefer X, you may prefer Y, but nobody on Earth has ever been 'better' than the man I just heard.")
What is Rosie’s favorite pedal? Fuzz?
Hahahahah!
Do you ever do reviews on modelers? I use the fm3. Would love to see your take on that pedal.
What are you planning on doing to the 345? Just convert to mono?
Yeah. Although I’m not sure what that exactly entails!
@@ThatPedalShow Please make a video of this Mick!! Would love to see the thoughts going into something like this!
@@ThatPedalShow looking forward to the video on it.! You have officially made me want to find a vintage 345!
How come no talk of Kemper ?
I’d be a 90’s digital multieffect. I can do numerous things but all of them badly.
Ha! We call that Multi-talentless around here. It’s my actual job title. Mick here!
Guys, watch the Jim Lill video … Jim actually finds the cabinet DOES make a difference. So many people quote him without actually having watched the video.
Go back and watch the videos. Jim goes to great lengths to not give his opinions. People with strong opinions project their feelings on Jim’s video and remember him saying something he never did.
Thanks for this Murray. Will indeed rewatch!
@@ThatPedalShow If you were referring to my recommendation for Harley Benton cabs, I consider it a matter of cost benefit.

AFAIK, Jim Lill hasn't made official statements about what matters. He's merely run tests and presented the results. Granted, strumming the same chord and letting it ring for less than a half second won't reveal all potential differences, and an SPL graph does not show dynamic, harmonic and resonance differences over time. I've addressed the later with Glenn Flicker. To be fair, his motivation is to keep young musicians from going broke when they could get something they like for a lot less money. For that I commend him, even if he is dead wrong about some things.
Any wet/dry stuff will not work for most people playing gigs.
Great at home alone, but not when you are in situations where you gotta get up and go fast.
We're talking about it too much frankly. It's slightly esoteric and impractical.
I use it all the time. Mick here.
I don't have a fuzz pedal you all! Can't demo that with my Tube Amp GOD MOD! Do me a favor! You all have a fuzz pedal! When I tell the world tomorrow how you all can modify your own tube amplifier with my GOD MOD! I decided to tell the world instead of doing anything else! Do me that favor, & show me what a fuzz pedal sounds like through one of your amps with my GOD MOD! And enjoy infinity mids & infinity gain if you want! Wait till I tell you about the cleans you still don't know about! Take care!
I think tubes and even some SS components do indeed rule. The problem comes down to how much the tube production/waste cycle adversely affects the environment. Tubes may well go by the wayside one day. We can then all have a good cry, but let's be adults about it. Software will continue to evolve to do thing physical components just can't. Besides, it's not the method of sound reproduction that matters (same applies to analog vs digital recording), but the artists, instruments and music. Electric guitars are still analog instruments after all. Digital sound reproduction won't change that. If you get hung up on methods of sound reproduction "...you will miss all the heavenly glory". Oh, and enough with the humility Olympics, already. Just say something like "Thanks for the compliment, and it's truly an honor for you to know me." 😜
Why don't we see bands only using Marshalls and no pedals? Because pedals. Duh.
I think you should watch lills video again. You misquoted him a bunch of times. I know you still wouldn’t agree with his results. But you put a lot of words in his mouth he didn’t say.
I’ll watch it. Mick here.
