![Carry-On Luggage Pedalboard Challenge [Dan vs Mick] - That Pedal Show](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0ntDSUwTqGM/mqdefault.jpg)
My best value gear item would be my QMX6 GigRig switcher, seemed like a lot of money at the time for a device that doesn’t do much....but it has been on my board now for every gig and rehearsal for the past 8 years ( the same one - I tightened a screw once or twice...) and it has allowed me to enjoy every pedal to its fullest, even giving me a chance to put a pedal I had made myself on! It really ends the pedals vs straight in debate as it allows both! Dan can’t say this on his show but I can ,thanks Dan and your team👍🎸
I just got the same one around a month ago. Makes such a difference in quality of the tone from the pedals.
Just made my day John, thanks so much 🤓🙏
@@ThatPedalShowyup my QMX6 popped into my head with that question. Pedals come and go, but the QMX6 has its permanent position on the board. That and my Tele, of course 😉
Same here 👍
RE: the Dan + guest idea with MIDI / digital / magical oddities. Personally, I'd really like that - but would still value Mick being present to ask more fundamental questions. (The kind I'd ask.) Maybe Mick can be behind the camera then pop in for a regular segment called 'Mick Asks Dumb Questions On Behalf Of The Confused'.
I was going to say my most "valued" piece of gear is a Victoria Reverberato previously owned by Ray Lamontagne, but I didn't say it because I wondered if anyone would know who I'm talking about. And then Mick broke into Jolene! Beautiful serendipity.
When I was shopping for electric 12 string, the choice came down to the reissue of the fender hockey stick and the Danelectro 59X12. I thought the Danelectro sounded just as good, if not better, played better, and was almost half the price of the Fender. It’s a superb electric 12 string. I pick it up after months of not touching it, and it’s completely in tune!
The utterance "pshhhhhhwwhhph" is an idea for a tee shirt. That's pretty much what I hear me doing (out loud) when I learn something beyond where my "lone" mind might have gone. At that point of revelation what else can I say? I live for those moments. Thank y'all again.
I know a bunch of people here in the comments might groan when I say this, but my best value gear is my Boss Katana 50 MkI and 50 MkII paired ABY. For all of the functionality of those amplifiers, versus their low price, they are by far and away the best value I have.
No groans here. Neck and neck with the Hot Rod Deluxe for the best all rounder ever! Ha!
@@ThatPedalShow Oh yeah lol... except, I only play at home (with close neighbours), so the attenuation on the Katanas is essential. An HRD for me would be like owning a Ferrari and only ever driving it in second gear.
@@astewart9410I highly recommend moving house.
@@Peterbrendanalbert Lol yeah that's the simplest solution for sure. :)
No no no no no. Do not bring in a different presenter. The best thing about TPS, above all else, is the chemistry between the two of you. It's entertaining and its engaging. It doesn't matter if one of you isn't into the pedal you are talking about. If anything, it provides balance. The kit you talk about changes week to week, but the reason we come back for more is the two of you. THAT is the show.
And I feel it’s normal that they don’t like everything the same way. I like the honesty of their appreciations/critics, and yes, the guys make the channel! 🤘
Appreciate the thoughtful discussion of Guitar Dad question, gents. I am entirely aligned with Dan. Youngest (turns 10 next month) for a couple of years there was under the impression she was in the TPS band -- she and her purple Uke. She has since acquired a Squier mini Strat and a modeling amp all her own. I am thrilled, but no pressure, all joy.
Yes! You're already using the odd guest expert to augment the answering of questions beyond their "known" personal history. That allows the viewers to expand both their technical and experiential understanding. Elevating a guest (temporarily) to that of co-host is a logical progression in service to viewership. It also may allow either Dan or Mick to "take it in" and should promote some rejuvenation.
I like not having a rhythm guitarist. I then must decide when and how to integrate rhythm with melody/harmony as if a solo guitarist were reading my mind. And, I must also read my own mind and not "step" on myself. I'm not sure which shall or should 'win" because they most not compete but fully support. This is the basis for the most fun of arranging and performing those arrangements. Hopefully at some point I'll also develop the courage to modify those arrangements live - without throwing off the bass and drums.
I still have and use my 1996 Roland BC-60 (1x12). I have not found anything better. Roland now makes several versions of the "Cube" of which I am most partial to the "Hot"' but base that assessment only upon reviews. I bought a Cube 30X on 2009 but it did NOT measure up (10" speaker). Two 10" amps fill a room, but one just cannot measure up to a single 12" - of which I now have two. One is solid state an one is tube and I have yet to pair them.
Regarding having Dan do the Big Sky max video without Mick: you two play so different. The value of being able to hear your different playing styles on the pedals you are showing us is a huge part of the experience for me, in addition to the insights you both bring.
Agreed, I'm for adding a topical presenter to add value, but would still love both Mick and Dan in the episode.
I think Jack Griffiths would be cool to bring in for the modern delay's thing as a supplemental presenter. He had cool chemistry, and he has a proven track record playing to equipment to get it's "thing"
Gosh…I always miss the best q and a. What a great show. If you are into the Mesa Thiele design cabinet the original EV plans are online available. A friend build himself a double 2 12 which sounded great and I was using 2 15 with el evm 15L for my wet sound in a wet dry wet. If you flip them around every amp will fit and the sound is bombastic.
My best value guitar was a Gibson sg 50’s tribute with p90’s…an absolute gem I managed to snag brand new for $200 Canadian!
ROFLMAO! Lovely show fellas! Always good to see Rosie make an appearance! She's a good girl!! Anyway, I remember the crossover thing was kind of popular with bass players in the 80's. They'd send the top end to a solid state rig and the bottom end to something like an SVT. I think Stanley Clarke might have helped make that popular.
Living for the day when you two put an Amplified Nation amp though it’s paces. In TPS I trust! 😊
Best value piece of gear is by far my Empress EQ II Deluxe. With that one pedal I can plug into absolutely anything when I’m in sessions, renting backline, getting sounds of gear I don’t have, I have even run it direct, it is just a little problem solver. Not cheap but absolutely indispensable!
Thanks lovely people for answering my question. Already had pasta and sauce twice this week to save the fun vouchers!!
I don't know how many of these exist, but Fender did a collaboration with Paul Rivera to make a run of silverface Deluxe Reverbs that incorporated Paul's mods from the ’70s - back when a Rivera'd SFDR was a quintessential studio amp, Lukather, all the Steely Dan guys, etc. - and those are worth looking for.
Solid State? Orange springs to mind.
I have a couple of generic Japanese solid states that are great through improved speaker cabs.
I love these long shows! I truly do. Mick, thanks for the tangent about Paul’s Telecaster with the sweet switch. I’ve got a Stratocaster that started at a $199.00 purchase. I’ve had it since Oct. 1985. The “straight to the input jack” mod would give me a 3rd SPDT mini toggle switch and I am going forth! I’m adding this comment:
A quick tip to tuning a 12-String is, TUNE THE BIG STRINGS FIRST. You know…as if you’re tuning a 6-String.
Thanks again,
JJZ…(°¿.°`)
Re: Dan using a tele with modded pots etc… I have Jason Lollar 52’s in my tele and I have a push/push pot that bypasses the master volume and master tone and it’s wickedly good. Try it. There’s just more of the good stuff.🤘🎸
Tyler Jt22 is a FANTASTIC alternative to a deluxe. All handwired in the USA. It’s a 22w black face Princeton. A little less twang and more pure tone. Can get in a combo or head cab. They build pretty quick as well. 4 weeks on my last order.
My best valued guitarrelated thing is That pedal show and Homeskoolin. I loved all the magazines in the 80s/90s but this is surely next level lessons and inspiration for the price of buying some merch now and then.
Further on I find the subtle "10th man-attitude" from a sometimes not overwhelmed Mick very useful. It gives the show dynamic, perspective, tension/release, push/pull or whatever you want to call it. Finally. What you have to do is ignore all the people telling you what do do.
Peace and love and rocknroll!
I'll ignore that then! :)
Love the show! Watched for last four years. Good job and good work. Smart and fun. Robin Ford onTPS was fantastic. The dog chewing not so much..
Re: solid state amps: I used to see Geoff Whitehorn regularly and he used 2 Sessionette combos linked by a Dimension D. sounded incredible! Also saw him do Marshall demos where he had amazing tone on all the solid state [Valvestate] combos as well as the fully valve ones.
Must of had my Sessionette amp for best part of 40 years, still happy with it
to the guy asking about HW fender reissue amps: i love my princeton.
ran it every night for two years at low volume and it finally needed a bit of service-a pre amp tube and a bit of solder flow.
done.
maybe it sounds stupid but when I look over when I’m playing and I see the little words “hand wired” on my amp, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. sorry!
Squier (by Fender) currently has a 12 string Jazz Master. I'm tempted by the idea to convert it to a 6 string (for the wider neck) - but I won't.
Malcolm Young and James Hetfield for me on Rhythm Guitar with Stone Gossard a very honourable second. But tbh so many great rhythm guitar players
I have a Danelectro 12 string, and it stays in tune shockingly well.
Speaking of “feeling it”; I saw the tea party this weekend, Jeff Martin is a true rock and roll frontman, and his rig was 2x hiwatts, 2x matchless chiefs and 2 x deluxes. WHAT A NOISE! I heard from my sister who works in lighting at the venue, they were consistently hitting 120dB.
Jeff is brilliant, he's total Rock and Roll. Super nice guy too. Those green Matchless amps he uses are really rare Superchiefs. They're 120W each from 4 EL34's. I got to play one in a shop in Japan, and it ruined me. Best amp I've ever played. Last rig I saw him with was the two Superchiefs and two Tweed Bassmans.
@@thegreatdel I thought they were that. So probably circa 500w of guitar amps; oh and 2 amped 8x10 bass rigs to go with it!
having seen Crowded House in the last few days and seeing Neil Finn's son playing a Danno DC59/12 on stage at Blenheim Palace.... I find myself gassing for one....
Re 10” speaker amps, I used to have an original Fender Super Champ [designed by Rivera] as used by the mighty Alan Murphy, which sounded amazing! Wish I still had it! I only sold it because I needed more clean headroom and couldn’t afford 2 amps 🙁
Best value gear item for me, about a day late, but it’s my Marshall 2555SL. I found it used about 2 seconds after it was put online at a used gear store (verified by the very surprised sales person on the phone who just uploaded it to their website). I got it for $1200. It’s basically a Marshall Jubilee first run but a limited run made for Slash when he used them in the 90s. Before that amp I went through a few different amps and couldn’t find the perfect one for me. This one ticks so many boxes and sounds amazing with anything from a strat to a Les Paul. I’m never selling it on, have gigged with it, rehearsed with it, practiced with it constantly.
I can definitely echo the point about audio interfaces. The last couple of weeks I've been getting excited about the prospect of a new guitar, but just yesterday I was playing with some plugins (I know...) into my power amp and having a blast when I think something on the input stage of the interface started to go. Haven't figured it out yet and slightly heartbroken that the guitar will have to wait but needs must cause I can't do anything without that interface...
My best value gear item is my '79 Deluxe Reverb which I bought for $200.00 in the early '80s. It's been the foundation of my sound for nearly 40 years. It had one repair when a cap went out... that's all. I'll never part with it and my heirs will likely decide its fate. I still get a thrill every time I flip it on.
Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule are excellent. I have seen him many times live, also with the Dead, Allman Bros, and loved seeing Dark Side of the Mule live. Hard to pass up when he comes through!
Rhett would be a great guest for the Big Sky. Could finally get some Dry Wigs up in the store 😂
Thanks
D&M, Just rewatched your show with Joey Landreth featuring tremolos, and Dan’s monumental pairing of tremolos! Why don’t you make a double pedal that pairs standard and harmonic, and synchronizes both. I try using 2 pedals but my synchronization skills are a bit lacking. A stereo pedal with both would be brilliant!! I’ll buy the first one!!!
Love your show, even though I’m a 73 year old mostly acoustic guitar player. Thanks for sharing all that knowledge and wisdom!

+1 for keeping Mick in front of the camera, get an expert in as a third person. We need Mick to ask the simple questions the rest of us are thinking.
Referring to the interest of a different guest for things like the Big Sky MX is a good idea although I would say still having input from whichever one of you wasn't involved initially as a conclusion would be cool.
Example say for big sky you have Dan and maybe Rabea? Have those two shoot the episode batting ideas about and then bring Mick in with somethings the other two have cooked up to see if they can bring some inspiration or intrigue to (in this case Mick) for a ending segment?
Mick, I think that's a great idea to tag someone in on new episodes! Get someone that will go deeper with Dan on weirder and/or programmable FX like the new Big Sky, etc but also you could dig deeper into some recording stuff with engineers and other recording geekery (or whatever shit you want). But I agree it could allow you guys to push yourselves in the more niche stuff that you're into! That being said, I always love seeing both your mugs on the camera every week! 🤘🤘
Thanks Eric. I think we’ll give it a go as part of the mix. Cheers!
Another killer pedal is the strymon brig. It maybe digital but man it sounds good!
PCB vs hand wired?
PCB construction is far more repeatable, bringing efficient consistency for the manufacturer, therefore lower cost for the customer.
Hand-wired demands a deeper and wider range skillset from the builder, so a great deal more training before someone becomes useful on the line. It's more craftsmanship and tradecraft than modern assembly line work.
PCB repair can be quick if it just involves module replacement and the modules are available, but that's probably only available at the factory if the product was designed with that in mind AND it's a current product. Hand-wired is decidedly easier for a local repair shop to bring back to life when some component goes *bing*.
Great VCQ as always. Talking ACDC and a "whole lotta Rosie". Perfect.
Ha! Yeah exactly that!
Regardless ng the BigSky reverb show. Mick is invaluable to the conversation. How to support someone playing lead with althose big reverbs.
I've sold several guitars for more than I paid. However, when adjusted or inflation, and also revalued per current cost of relative quality items taken into account, can the exchange be accurately evaluated? Who cares? The best decisions are the ones you aren't recalling to evaluate but, just felt right in the moment. If it was "right" then, it's right now.
One of the best rhythm guitarists I've ever heard is Ian D'Sa from Billy Talent. Super underrated guitarist from a super underrated band. Would be awesome if you could have him on some time if possible. His use of pedals for such a unique band is awesome.
Reposition the camera.
Low stools.
3 way convo.
The 3rd person?
Talented yoof of camera.
Spezial gesstz.
3 way. Balance for the Mik Vs Dan interests.
Nice!
Lofty Zona de la Silencio!
Chorizo scotch eggs are a delightful thing
If you did bring in someone else, Rabea would be a great shout for the Big Sky Max, if he's available of course
Chris Buck preferred the standard 65 DRRI over the 64 handwired
My mates stage name is Buzzy Frets.
My brothers is Chuck De Tanty.
Both are pretty spot on.
Best value: ABY pedal
i recall that "low impedance" pickups in a Les Paul were a "thing" for a minute. Why was that "minute" so short?
Like to see you guy’s feature a Fender Pro Junior on a show! 😀👍
Should attach some kinda seismic mike to that SG. Could be da next grate thing.
Dan, Who Use That Guitar Player You Held Up On Your Phone? Thanks! Love The Show!
I always say to 'students' right hand is heart, left hsnd is brain.
Hi guys I really enjoy all your pedal demos. Both of you play very well. I own only (4) Boss pedals… BD-2, OD-3, SD-1, DS-1. Have you ever done a shoot-out of those yet?
Hello! Thanks for the kind words. We've featured all of them down the years - head to www.thatpedalshow.com/gear-database and you can search by pedal for all the stuff we've covered. Cheers!

Hey Mick i love the analogy about arc but most people watch it on digital tv 😳 Halo, 65 deluxe, mesa boogie lonestar special and a 67 tele very nice
Indeed! The point about ARC and DIV is that we’re moving in a DIV direction. The magic of a sporting event (or gig, more to the point) is somewhat diminished after it moves from being ARC (ie you being there in person) to being more DIV (you watching it at home on your own). Clearly there are stages between the two, but the trajectory in pretty much everything in our lives is towards DIV. See?
48:50 is the reason ❤️
my oversized Port City 2x12 sounds bigger than a marshall 4x12. check those out
Dan, that sg is so loud it was getting a bit of room reverb.
Just got a Roland JC-40 and found that the power in my home seems to be producing the dreaded JC hiss. I've invested in a mains conditioner but this has made no difference. Am I just always going to have hiss on this amp at home?
My 1985 JC-77 has the hiss. Are you just noticing it more at home because of lack of other ambient noise in your practice area? vs a gig setting. I have a power conditioner too. Doesn't do anything for my JC hiss, it is just the noise floor of some of those amps. Mine is my wet amp, (it is my always on chorus pedal). As a kid, It was my first real amp and I wouldn't part with it for anything.
Same here (JC-40).
Using it as the wet and it has the noise floor issue, but I am only playing at low levels (basement) in an old house.
Haven’t tried it yet, but I did read a recommendation to run a noise suppressor pedal in the fx loop.
24:30 just use a no load pot, like in a Charvel
Robert Jr Lockwood defined Chess record’s rhythm.
Probably the best licks Dan ever played in the first minute and no one heard it.
Hi guys, I have a question for Mick. There is a UA-cam video of you demoing a Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555X. Absolutely the best demo of that amp. Was wondering what pickups were in the Strat you used in the demo? Sounded killer. Didn’t think a Strat could sound good through a Jubilee but that changed my mind. Thanks
Hello Pat. They were the Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickups that were in Blue at the time. Texas Hot maybe? Anyway, some of the first ones they did. However, I can say with some certainty that any decent vintage-style pickups would do a very very very similar thing. What you're liking about that demo IMHO is that the amp was CRANKED in a huge, fantastic sounding room with plenty of room mics mixed in. The producer/engineer Martin made the call that we'd do that in that amazing space. Makes all the difference to have it loud with //actual// real room sound so you're really hearing the cab working too. Hope that helps!
@@ThatPedalShow thanks for getting back to me Mick. The overall mix is great! Thanks for the explanation, makes total sense. Cheers!
"If parents and kids like the same music, Rock is dead." Or, the parents are extremely cool. That's what I tell myself!
James Hetfield for rhythm guitar. Basically invented modern metal with his right hand.
Another Dan's stage name idea: Skyscraper Dan.

50:44 everything ok Mick? lol
Chips and Roo
On rhythm, evh was a more interesting rhythm player than lead player.
50:56 skull wah V1
FANG!!!!
Weird Audio...haven't you reviewed one of their pedals before?
Still wondering - what the hell is "hello leggins" mean ?? probably spelled that wrong
People used to call us legends. We said ‘leg-ends’ more like. And it stuck. Leg Ends. :0)
@@ThatPedalShow you guys are legends!
Much better than leggins for sure
Have the guys started taking edibles for the live shows?
Mick, as an American, I must warn you that there's also a, how shall we say, "heuristic framework" called ARC within the right honorable world of Scientology, so you might start to get a puzzling but enthusiastic comment or two ...
Ah man, it’s so hard to find a clean acronym these days. Hahahaha! I could go with RAC I suppose, but here in the UK that’s a motoring breakdown and recovery service. Eh, go figure etc.
@@ThatPedalShow Luckily, I don't imagine a ton of TPS/Scientology crossover, but just in case you suddenly get comments talking about the Affinity-Reality-Communication Triangle, you'll know what's up. (I got fascinated with Scientology as a teenager - not with joining it, god no, but sociologically - and it's very funny to hear, e.g., certain celebrities start using certain words a lot and think "ohhhh I know where THAT comes from.")

In addition to "knowing your gear" is to "know you" in response to "your gear". Do not assume it reasonable to remove "you" from the equation. The "you" is the basis for "reasoning". Learn how "you" respond to "what(ever)" and the change which comes to you extends that "relationship". This is the primary draw to your channel.
As a drummer trying to learn guitar i can contest that a guitarist has never helped me load in 😂... like ever.. def not a singer
I second this, also the real elephant in the room is the bass players 2 by 15.
I am bored with these q&a things. I want you guys test pedals, not only talk about the pedals. This is that pedal show, not That talk show.
That’s what you get once a week on a Friday, isn’t it? If you not into the chatting there are millions of other channels talking about the same stuff on yt.
Yah, don’t watch Q&A would be our advice. Just watch the main Friday shows that aren’t called Viewer Comments & Questions.
