Life too short for long UA-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! Ohmergaaaaaahd, a show actually about pedals?! Yes, we know that TPS has a habit of veering off down a conceptual road or two, where the focus can be anything //but// pedals. Well strap yourself in as Mick ‘Baxter Basics’ Taylor and Dan ‘Norm Alshow’ Steinhardt tackle a handful of recent releases that are definitely, unequivocally and without doubt, guitar effects pedals. Erm, except one of them thinks it’s an amp.
How could we possibly get lost with these? Let’s give it a try…
Enjoy the show!

Thanks for showing off my new MAULER fuzz!
It has a pair of “metal can” BC108C silicon transistors.
The MAUL control sets the input impedance and tonal filtering… lower is softer with more clean-up, higher is more attacking with overdrive like clean-up, and right at the top it kicks in a low pass filter for smoother input response.
MEAT sets the bass input filtering.
FURR gives three different textures and tonal responses.
JAWS is the bias, from gated and spitting, through squashy and saturated to bold and open.
The FEED momentary footswitch kicks in the internal feedback oscillation, which interacts and fights with your input signal. All controls of the pedal and your guitar affect the feedback pitch and response.
🤘🏾🐻
...wow.... "The MAUL control sets the input impedance and tonal filtering"... how brilliant is THAT?!?! Great job, Neil!! I've been searching for my perfect fuzz... THIS could very well be IT!!
That thing sounded AMAZING! I signed up for your mailing list!
Cheers@@garystackhouse5787 !
@@weschilton Thanks loads mate!
More info on the Mauler and its official release heading your way very soon.
Sounds absolutely awesome 👌
While I know that you don't do direct tests for amp sims, the UA Ruby direct is magic. I think that putting it through a non-Vox amp is makeing the setup work against itself. The Ruby is an accurate Vox AC-30 sim and a Deluxe Reverb, etc. in the chain removes much/all of that character.
If you haven't seen it by now, you might like to see Rhett Shull 's "The BIGGEST Amp Shootout I've Ever Tried (UA FX Vs. Real Vintage Amps)". That's what helped me decide to get a Ruby.
I use it direct (Focusrite "Scarlett"), and it works very well, indeed. That vid also demonstrates the UA "Dream 65" (Deluxe Reverb) and UA "Woodrow" (Tweed) sims very well.
I no longer use an amp at home. I don't miss it and I don't miss annoying my wife and her reaction to that, either.
Ahh, domestic tranquility.
Cheers.
Spot on. A thing of wonder!
^ This!
Yeah, I honestly think this is a bit of an unfair representation of what the Ruby can do. I love tube amps, but I don't have the inclination to break my back lugging them around to gigs anymore. This will help me do that.
It’s great…even though they made no secret of hating it…

Thanks BV!
Thankyou for this!
Out of sinc? Seems to be needing to select the one before to get there.
Back to a classic pedal show session, testing new pedals. I’m loving it!
no way: amps and instruments are just as important to use them LOL!
Can't call it pick and mix but I like it anyway!
I'd watch 2 hrs of Dan & Mick just browsing in Andertons . . . (or visiting Jonny Kinkade) = the commentary, the learnings, the-tangents. They are Priceless. My favorite You Tube channel. Please Don't ever-Stop. oNe LoVe from NYC
Please try the UAFX Dream 65, the Deluxe Reverb. Mick has great experience with real ones so it would be very interesting to hear his opinion on it. And it even has an emulation of an EV speaker, so it's right up Mick's alley!
Yeah please do it!
Yes, lots of us are interested in similar comparation as with Tone Master.
Just about to receive my Ruby. I couldn’t be more stoked despite these 2 gents not liking amp modeling. Curious to see what you think of the others. I’m so happy to see you’re using these in front of an amp, which I’m doing too.
What a great question. In the meantime, Danish Pete and Lee just did a rundown of all three new UA pedals.
After seeing their less than excited reaction here, I think all hope is lost for Dan and Mick to dig any amp modeling as good as it may be. Lol. However, to be fair it must be said that putting the Ruby or the other 2 UA amp pedals in front of 2 vastly different valve amps without having looked at the pedal before won’t get you the best results these pedals can possibly bring. That said, that’s how I plan to use my Ruby…
Even UA’s 3 pedal effects from last year didn’t seem to get much love, as outstanding as the Golden reverb and Starlight delay are.
You can do justice and a proper review of the UA amp pedals by using them in the FX loop of an amp in place of the amplifier pre-amp. Rock on, boys.
Received my Cogmeister last week. This is the most musical overdrive pedal I've ever heard. Thanks TPS! Without this channel I'd never have known about this wonderful pedal.
Great show guys! Love to just see some new pedals! The UAD stuff is interesting because it's so simple- not a hundred models to choose from- just one very detailed, great sounding amp in a box. There are a lot of existing options these days for digital amp sims, so I think it's smart for UAD to go in a bit of a different- simpler and more straight forward direction.
Finally another pedal episode. I know these aren’t getting the views you guys deserve and need to keep the channel growing, but I love pedals.
I just ordered the UA Ruby, so I’m stoked to see this on your channel to tie me over until I receive it tomorrow.
Happy NPD for when that arrives - excellent choice!
Ruby sounded like dog shit here. They were super embarrassed to not destroy it. "oh, i like the room reverb..." lol
@@gffg387 I agree. But that’s due to their incorrect use case, the way their rig is set up and recorded. It totally defeats the purpose to run this into a dual amp setup, that’s intended to be mic’d and then also use the cab sims at times. It didn’t seem like they even plugged this in before this lol.
@@nilsx3020 I agree. They tried to pass a Vox into a dual set up with a blackface fender and a supro. Well, it serves to show that these pedals doesn't work as stomp boxes into other amps. Better to use like an real amp, like I've heard on other demos.
@@gffg387 To be fair, I think a lot of people are going to struggle to figure out what these "pedals" are and how to use them. So I think this was still very instructive.
I've watched this video roughly 5 times so that I can hear Mick playing the Dinosaural Cogmeister with a strat! This is the best demo of The Cogmeister yet!
love the show! I fully respect you two gents preferring real amps to amp sims, and quite agree with your reasons. I do honestly feel that the Ruby was used in a way that doesn't get across what all the hype is about around these new pedals. Having it in the signal chain going into the front end of the amp is definitely an option to be utilized but it's far from the main scenario of actually using it in place of an amp. I have the Dream65 and these pedals seems to be a whole new beast that got thrown under the rug in this episode.
We get that Robert,but a pattern has emerged whenever we use amp sims. First, the reason for it sounding average is that ‘you’re not using it right’ and second, me and Dan sit there dying inside because we know people have worked hard to make it sound great, for great many other people, these things are the only viable option. And as you suggest, they can sound great.
But Dan and I decided after this video that we’re done with amp sims for the foreseeable.
We did try them the ‘correct’ way too, but we just don’t like them compared with real, loud amps. And to underline that, I still have never heard a digital amp sim in recorded or live music that I prefer to a real amp mic’d. If that situation changes for either of us, we’ll start featuring them again. Just two personal opinions, we know millions of people love em. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow Hey I can't argue with that, there is something magical about speakers moving air. I appreciate the reply! Love the show!
Thanks for plugging in to real amps and micing them up...that's what I fell in love with many years ago and thats what I love about TPS. More power to those who use and like the amp simulators. But given a choice, they just aren't for me (and I've tried'em). "You can settle for second best but you can never get enough" is a saying that applies to me and amp/speaker modeling. But plug into a real amp, dial it in and I'm 100% there man. I can feel it down to my core.
The UA amp stuff is fascinating. When the room and cab sim are on it sounds like you are playing inside a record. I think the they would serve convincingly as a budget amp/cab/microphone collection for a home studio.
Nothing beats the experience of the real thing but i think with the right user you can record a pretty good sounding home record using the UA stuff and itll be silent. I still see it as a compromise but a pretty good one
Yeah, Shawn Tubbs is an incredible player - and seems like a genuinely lovely chap too. Saw him at a Carrie Underwood gig at the O2 a few years back. Wish I could have heard him let rip a bit more.
Something worth mentioning but not touched on here with the Cogmeister is just how responsive it is to a volume knob roll-off. It’s absolutely sublime and like no other pedal I’ve ever played - it really is a masterpiece. Well done Mr Coggins. (Plus he’s a thoroughly nice chap to boot!)
That Revv drive sounds ace. One of my favourite uses for a boost before a drive is as an underdrive, I feel like it lets the drive retain all of its character and tonal colour with both on for rhythm sounds and then turn off the boost for the drive to kick up a level. Pretty unconventional use for it but give it a go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised :)
As always, thanks for the great show! I just wanted to share that - thanks, in part to your influence - I have entered “The Golden Age”: a Custom Shop Goldtop R7 Les Paul, built in 2006 (naturally aged). It’s something else! I raise my gold guitar to you! Cheers Gents!
Yes! Congrats John!
I love the little Steely Dan reference on the Cogmeister demo-nice going Dan.
Look I love everything you guys do. Every experiment. Exploring every theory. Debunking tropes. But getting back to just a board of pedals, in the absence of the midweek pedal shows, was a riot today. Great video chaps
Awesome, thanks Justin!
Would love to see a showdown of UK built pedals v Aussie built pedals . 4 pedals each. May the best pedal board win. Cheers
Also not a crime, I hope: PEDALHOARDING
Keep up the good work lads, loved this!
Yeah guys! This was great, That Pedal Show doing Pedal dives with much awesomeness! The NRG was for me especially cool. So many wonderful tones... thanks!!!
Great show - just like the old Pick & Mix days - keep up the good work fellas
There are times when the last thing I wanna see is another guitar, but you guys always inspire me to pick one up and start enjoying myself. Thanks, and cheers from FL!
I know I’m going Baxter the future a bit with this comment, but cracking written intro in the description, Mick. Reminds me that I should read them more often, and I’m of the once-a-journo variety, too.
I had no emotional connection with the originals so I didn’t have that response but in terms of how they look- mayyyyan they look soooo gooooood.
Yeah the graphic design on those is so late 60's/early 70's that they really call to me.
@@NotBenCoultry I can hear them....’Bennnnnnnnn.........’
@@andsoistopped lmao "come back in time soon..."
Bottom end on any distortion is always required. In my 21 versions of my Tonebender, I finally put a fullrange/250Hz switch. Been going to shows lately and even in shows with the bass really heavy distracts the tone of the rest of the band.
There is a good video on Reverb about the Ruby. Not my cup of tea, you can vary a lot of settings via USB as well. But really they have a boat load of this technology in the box so why not do this.
Great show guys, thanks so much!
We went from cork sniffing last week to what sounded like a recovery meeting with the introduction of the UA Ruby today.
Was happy waiting on my Cogmiester..now I can’t wait!
Nice Steely Dan lick, Danny Boy! That was definitely the right tone for that. Well done.
Dan resorts to the "Spy Chord" when playing through the Ruby. Yes!
Mick: "Let me get a more familiar guitar"
Me: Nooo!!!
Ha! Sorry. I do love the Casino but it was starting to howl with the fuzz! YES!
i'm a strat guy. a friend gifted me a les paul classic. every time i play it i'm like 'dammit. why did i pass this by for so many decades? ' gold tops rock.
I am a telecaster player and usually run into my Supro BM & Tremoverb at the same time and have been wondering what a 65 reissue in place of the Tremoverb would sound like. You two are the best! Keep up the great work!
For gigs (other than my own) I use primarily a multi-effects pedal with amp, cab, and effects simulations because life is, after all, truly requiring of some compromise. And having done so for my for my convenience the result regularly outweighs a listener expectations. When I want to be be for me I take an amp and a pedal board - both of which I have tweaked to suit my ears and no one else's. I come back to this channel regularly in hopes of learning better how to make the best use of what I can afford. I am regularly informed and have make several changes to my board with little cash outlay. So, in contrast to some other's comments, I have not been enticed to spend more but more wisely.
Thankyou for returning to these types of shows! They have been sorely missed!
So happy I’m on the list for a Cogmeister!
The 12 string sounds so good. I really hope it makes more appearances 🖤
What a great classic show. Great to see dinasural back again.
I will be making "the 11 o'clock" yes I will build an overdrive with the pots in in reverse so everything sounds best at 11 just for Mick...
How dare you show us that glorious Cogmeister just to realize it's unobtainium 😢
Love how you guys are sticking to your convictions on "what you do.' Kindred spirit here, in not being a fan of modeling over "the real thing." My favorite dirt pedal has carbon comp resistors in it and I am just fine with that.
Hahahah! Yep. Ha!
I'd love to hear what Dan makes of the Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude. Its edge-of-oscillation is insane.
They don't tend to touch anything in the pedal market that is left-field and not steeped in tradition, including Fairfield Circuitry. Not sure why, though. The episodes when they push themselves out of their comfort zones are the most interesting ones!
@@xdoctorblindx WELP
Oh man as soon as I heard the Meet Maude I bought one, and love it!
@@weschilton I'm pretty crazy about the FC boxes, particularly the modele b, but I have to confess it's hard for me to shoehorn the delay and the modulation into my live setup! They're demanding effects. Beautiful though!
You guys are really pushing my GAS in this one. Every pedal I'm like, "shuddup and just take my money!"
Awesome demos and informative discussion as usual.
Cheers!
Wheeee! Old Skool pedal review format! Happy happy days! Nice one, chaps. I want 'em all.
“Call his wife…”. That’s the funniest sh*t I ever heard on this channel. Bravo.
Please test pedals like the UA Ruby into the LineIn of your Fryette Power Station with connected box and have fun.
Any idea on how one might track down the Cogmeister?
Excellent show, Gentlemen! A great selection of goodies, and inspiring playing from both. Thank you for truly fine content. I want ALL of them!
The eq knobs do the opposite on the UA Ruby pedal so to cut the high end you need to turn the treble knob up. That’s why you couldn’t get a decent sound.
With regards to the UAFX I'm a Vox (AC15) user so the Ruby has little appeal to me but I've been really REALLY impressed with what I've heard of The Dream (The Andertons video is worth checking out as Danish Pete really puts the three through the paces).
The Dream is going to be the first Amp Sim I buy....
All the UAFX amp pedals do have 2 instances of the same amp when you run them in stereo! Great show guys!
You’re the only ones on UA-cam that didn’t rave about the Ruby UA. I’ve been hearing extraordinary things about this pedal.
Apparently they sound amazing direct, just not something we do all that often
@@ThatPedalShow thanks so much for your reply. This helps me I was thinking about purchasing one but our church soundman wants to run it through a Vox amp and not direct. 😏🙄
@49.17 - I thought Mick was going to say "Oh Dan, you'll get us into so much trouble!!!" Hahaha! Great show as normal guys - love when you focus on pedals. Itrs my happy place with a bottle of red on Friday night down here in Perth Australia. Cheers lads!
Did I hear some of the "Peg" solo when Dan was playing the Dinosaural 😁
That little experiment from 12:38 t0 13:50 is something I really loved
Thanks Paul! That's Dan off in delay heaven!
Tore (I apologize for spelling if it’s wrong - the guy who used to work at TC) from UA on the Thomann channel said that on the stereo out, the pedal creates 2 distinct amp instances albeit with the same settings, and so you get the micro variances between the to amps and their respective outputs. I don’t think you can set them differently, but it sounded like in stereo, there are 2 diff amps running on each output… so prob not really what you were hoping for with independent control…but…
I just watched the first 65 seconds. How fun is that!? What a great way to start the day before work!!!!
Thanks for the “getting back to your roots” show!
Idea: Dissecting effects Tones from solos/recordings…Dolye Branhall II Fuzz tones from Richman, and Shades for example?
I've decided the drinking game is you gotta take a shot every time Dan says, "Howevah". I giggle every time.
That Maestro Fuzz is the Bomb. You did stellar job on showing its capabilities.
Please do this format more often than not. It was why I started watching you guys years ago and miss it.
Yay...I watched an old Pick n Mix yesterday and was getting nostalgic for those.
As you are returning to try new pedals, I think you should take a look at the Janis Lv Miesnieks Overdrive. I know you probably have more than you can deal with but I believe you guys will like it... Janis is a small builder from Latvia and does some really cool stuff. Totally under the radar. He deserves more attention. Cheers!
Absolutely love your channel. I appreciate your honesty around your dislike of amp sim pedals...cuz...I've never heard my Ruby pedal sound that BAD. Lol.
Make a video about it. Cheers.
I hope in the other video on the UA pedals, that you'll try it into a power amp; 4 cable method (vs some kingsley preamps?); as well as direct. Possibly into a solid state amp?
We’re out Ryan, apols. We’ve decided that until one of us would use anything digital amp-wise as a personal choice, we probably shouldn’t have them on the show. Nobody wants to see us grimacing at stuff we don’t like. So when we do like em and choose to use them, we’ll have them on. Cheers!
so effin good to see you guys after the last few years :)
I dug the 12-string again. 🤘Ruby - in fairness, kind of running an amp preamp into an amp preamp, and you got more out of that than I would have thought. If you had gone the route of trying it in an amp loop, you still have that thing where a lot of the amp sound is the output transformer, and then you are kind of stacking 2 output transformers, so that's not going to sound like the amp either. Same issue with the Synergy stuff. It might work great direct, but that stuff will never work like a good old tube amp as a whole. Glad you guys covered it though.
I do like it when the Casino comes out
Me too! I should have gone back to it. Blimmin love that guitar!
Thanks so much for this informative session. Of course I liked the Cogmeister which I will never find in Canada. Also the first time I have heard a Ruby as a stomp not an amp alternative for DI. This was something I wanted to hear. Learned what I wanted to hear. Excellent work guys with my thanks! Be well!
Very much enjoyed the return of a purely pedal-focused show, thanks gents. Bit of a shame about the Ruby, I'm not sure that the way it was configured for this demo is consistent with its design ethos and intent. I'm a big fan of modelling in my situation, it's a matter of compromise for sure, but it works for me, I can generally get tones out of it that I'm happy with. That said, it's not for everyone.
I can't help but feel that whenever you play with any type of modelling or DI-type tech, you just don't gel with it, which must be a challenge and frustrating to do. I imagine there's a bit of a pull for you to use this stuff from time to time as it's becoming more and more prevalent and I can see there's a fair few of the TPS audience asking for you to try it. I almost wonder though if you just have to say, "f**k it. This stuff works for some but not for us, it doesn't make us happy, so we're just not going to mess with it anymore" There's definitely something very contagious about watching you both play something that gets your fire burning, that's why I watch at least.
That’s exactly where we are Chris. We’d defy //anyone// to come here and not prefer real, loud amps. But. We also get it’s just not possible for the vast majority of people. It’s a cul de sac of lose:lose for us. So probably just best to leave it alone. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow you're spot on, there's something special about playing through a real amp at volume. And as much as the technology continues to advance, it will never feel the same under the fingers, it will never replace the physical sensation of the air around you responding. It's addictive and it enriches the soul. I'm so grateful I've had decades of experiencing it. Unfortunately I've had to give up the amps for now, in my situation I need the flexibility, ease of use, variety of sounds and, most crucially, occasional silence, that comes with an amp-less rig. But I love that both philosophies can exist and that there are people like you both who continue to demonstrate exactly why amps and valves are important and timeless. We don't have a lot of time, best to use what we do have doing what fills us with joy.
Yeah we feel the ‘pain’ of having to leave the amps behind. And for some people it’s definitely the opposite of pain because they never really loved em in the first place. We totally agree that it’s not for everyone and any approach that gets you playing and makes you happy is AWESOME. We’re spoiled though. We made TPS in a large part because we wanted a place to play loud and stay connected to the thing we love almost more than any other. We are definitely slipping in to the minority and truth be told we’re kinda happy with that. Because if anyone is ever in any doubt that modelling really does sound like the real thing, hopefully they’ll be able to visit the handful of real amp users still left breathing and get and in person demonstration that it really doesn’t. I wish I could record it, but you have to be in the room. It’s all good! Whatever makes you/us/everyone happy!
@@ThatPedalShow Well said!
59:05 - yes, that is what it means for the Ruby. Two versions of the AC30 for a decent stereo spread.
Another great video guys. I really liked the tone of the Maestro Fuzz with the Tele.
Huh. I got so used to seeing the ‘70 in the last few shows that seeing another golden Strat with the “classic” headstock somehow felt weird from a proportion standpoint.
(Still sounded fabulous, in fact throughout the show it was wonderful tone and inspired playing from all. Cheers!)
Pick n Mix finally back!
Could one use the boost side of the Shawn Tubbs as a volume boost if it were last in the chain?
Tele volume rollback into the FuzzTone sounded fantastic.
I would propose a verrrry interesting theme for the next video. The successful mods for Deluxe Reverb - such a speaker replacement (12``, 15`` & 4x10``), circuit modifications etc. But for that case, of-course, you need to build a handwired version of this amp, because the reissue version it's very hard for modifications. All you need is AMP, for my opinion.
I like this idea, but I would add not only a 4x12, but in the style of those little Blackstar extension cabs...a 16x3. It's the speaker version of "who would win in a fight, a horse-sized Mick or a hundred tiny Dans."
@@iwannabeyourshirt this is exactly what we see on That Pedal Show for last few years - pedals vs stacked pedals etc. The next level should be The Amp Show - many people don't understand how to deal with amp, and what can they do at all.
Kind of bummed about the presentation of the Ruby. Why would you put that into the front end of an amp? I thought for sure it would go into the effects loop return… Sort of like a Kingsley petal. I’m not surprised the high end is off.
UA suggest putting it into the front of the amp as the start point. But yeah, apparently a 4 cable method approach where it hits the FX return will have it sounding better. We should have tried that. I’m going to try it for my own curiosity and if it improves things considerably we might revisit. I think it’s still going to sound like amp modelling whatever. Cheers!
Love you guys. Great show! I love the oscillation on the fuzz-so cool. Friendly suggestion for Dan, consider using the word “indeed” slightly more sparingly.
Dan, please disregard my comment above. Poor manners on my part. Please forgive my thoughtlessness.
@@darenanderson1960 Indeed.
You've destroyed me. I love my Ruby and you dissed it 🤣 I even bought it from Andertons!
You know the truth.
@@ThatPedalShow Very Agent Muller. Thanks for all the great vids guys. You've helped me spend no end of money.
My Ruby comes tomorrow. My plan was to run the Ruby into the power section of a Marshall DSL40CR, but you guys are right. I should just get a real Vox.
All depends on volume we reckon. The Ruby does that thing so well at lower volumes especially and the room reverb addition is SUPERB! But. At proper volume with proper amps. Well, that’s the real thing so no need for a sim!
Yet another great show featuring some spectacular tones. The Ruby especially convinces me that I think I need to try an AC4, although I know even that much power in my apartment building is an invitation to eviction. Wish I could try Marshall + Vox a la TPS Marshall dry and Vox wet. Some day I may have a space that isn't a rabbit hutch and affords the luxury of such a rig.
"World's best POG, it tracks so well". Love it!! 😄😄
I want that Mauler, you make it sound so beautiful. Though I'm still struggling to make my big muff ram's head reissue work for me. I still want the Mauler... Q: how is this with buffers?
Hey Wim,
The Mauler is a vintage(ish) style fuzz, so interacts highly with your guitar’s passive pickups and controls. So it needs to “see” your passive signal without buffers between to sound as designed. (But it may still sound cool after some other pedals).
For a fuzz that performs nicely anywhere in your signal chain, then check out my ROARER (which is also due a Monochrome style reboot pretty soon).
Cheers,
Neil
@@neilgrimes Tx, I will check it out!
Dan, I just want you to know that I really loved the Steely Dan reference!
So where can you buy that dang cogmeister?? Absolute banger. Great show, thank you!
Yes please back to OG!! Please do more pedal reviews!! This was a great take back!!
Fab seeing and hearing the 12string again. I only learnt yesterday from a Tom Quayle demo that my Burns has a push pull tone pot to give 3 more pick-up options. Yet to try it but tonally so versatile even without!
The description on this video is priceless 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Adam!
Thanks Dan for the Jay Graydon quote. 😁
Stoked to see a Supro amp being used. I've got the Keeley Supro 1970RK combo. It's great!
I could be wrong, but by my understanding, the stereo out of the UA Ruby does use two instances of the amp, but the settings are the same on the two, so it's not possible to have a left and right with, e.g., different gain settings. I repeat, I could be wrong.
Loving my Cogmeister... sounds great and versatile
Nice, i like it when you just try out new pedals!
Interesting to see the new Revv pedal, didn't even know about that, but i use the G3 for years now and it's great for hi-gain. The Tilt seems to offer a wide range of great sounds in the "lower" gain territory!
Yes! Thank you guys My favourite thing about Fridays 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
noice finish all over the money shot BB self auto fx oscillation ... also NRG and maestro BB delay sounds epic
I’ll be a bit grumpy. Given we know tps have a very nice set of tube power amp speaker combinations. I.e. the Mesa rig or any number of amps with effects returns/power amp ins... perhaps that would have been a way to differentiate TPS’s approach to the UA pedal than all the direct demos out there. I am still yet to embrace any digital option but I am curious about when the digital tech hits the feel point.
Fair point Tony. Dan and I will try again with the direct to power amp route… and if we think it warrants space alongside Kingsley et all, we’ll do another show.
The problem for both of us, and this played out over years and years now… the minute is 100 per cent A/D converted, we just lose all connection. The hit rate is too high now for it to be a coincidence.
Which isn’t to say these things aren’t AWESOME in volume compromise situations. I guess the problem is that we are not volume compromised!
Also its not like that Mesa rig is cheap!
@@ThatPedalShow so far, non of the options I have tried have been ok even in volume compromised situations. Iridium etc just don’t feel ok especially with pedals in front of them. So I have ended up with the milkman the amp and vtwin as wet dry pre’s for my headphone rig with the iconoclast doing cab emulation. But... my logical mind tells me, digital will eventually get there. I can reliably interchange some of my high end physical eqs and comps with uas emulations though not pre amps... so I wonder whether they have genuinely got a step closer as some are claiming.
@@weschilton no... but I would pay as much as I would pay for a physical good bassman, if I could get one that responded in a box form over headphones the way the real thing does. No studio at the moment means no amps operating in the evening.
Video idea, small portable rigs for open mic nights/impromptu jam sessions.
I can’t say I have heard the Gibson FZ Fuzz but I have a Pigdog clone and it sounds glorious.
That Dinosaural is tweak city…any guitar, you can adjust to something tasty. Man, that thing rules.
Hey gents, would you be able to do a video testing out wireless guitar units with Fuzz? I've just got a wireless for the first time and my Germanium fuzz reacts completely different and thought be an interesting topic! 🌸
