- We look back on a year of gear after another trip around the sun
Welcome to the show! It’s that time of year when Dan and I reflect on the 12 most recent months and ask ourselves, ‘Can we actually remember any of it?’
Well we remembered this much at least, verily jolted into low-level cognitive function by the following questions, that will also form our…

I can’t believe Mick thinks H90 is too complicated but is happy to spend hours on an elaborate wet-dry-wet setup. H90 makes that much easier along with a zillion other things. It’s fantastic.
“Can I make this new pedal sound exactly like my old pedals” has got to be the daftest trap guitarists fall into. We all do it, despite probably knowing it’s a folly.
It’s a new thing. Enjoy it for what it is.
I acquired a 5150 combo about 4 months ago. No matter how much my guitars made me want to play, my amps were usually a pain. I've had good luck with tubes(I know that sounds cliche), but this amp doesnt sound like the tube amps I had before. No hate on my AC10 but I'm glad they sound different. I want another AC10 tho to replace a cheap vox pathfinder with the 5150 in an at-home stereo rig. That lil solid state sounds awesome getting fed signal after the 5150 preamp. I think the trap is that we want our old tone(for stuff we know or do now) but want more for what's to come. This is the same trap that leads to 15 Les Pauls in one room.
Derangement of the mind is what leads anyone to having 15 Les Pauls. I have owned 20+ guitars at a single time, but they were all very different and most of them cost $1000 or less. Anyone who fills a room with 15 of the same guitar that each cost $2000 to $7000 (presuming there are no Custom Shop models) has something wrong with them.
@@darwinsaye
Or they have lots of money.
Great show. Offside comment: Mick is nearly 50, has no grey hair and no kids. As a 46-year old father of two, I’m inferring a direct relationship between the two things. That’s all. Happy New Year fellows 🎉
Totally! Hahahah!
I'm 53, had to raise 4 very young kids on my own after their mom died, battled a second wife who was narcissistic sociopath for 5 years and another gf who put me through many emotional rollercoasters, and I have nearly no grey hair. And I'm now 100 lbs overweight ftom the stress. Genetics, environment and self care (even when not done very well). 😂
hair dye is readily available and simple to use these days! lol
41 here. can confirm!
Thank you! So nice to get this episode while Dan is still away. Nice to spend some time with you guys even though I have to get up real early for a (jazz banjo) gig. Perfect combination. Love and music to you both and the community
just so you know after 35 years of playing ive built my first real pedalboard, inspired by you guys. might sound weird but you are my kind of people. The genuine care you have for each other is beautiful. i have plowed through your back cataloge and have earned SO much. thanks guys. have a great new year
Enjoy your board brother! Now get planning your second!
exactly! i am 58 now and a show has to be heartfelt in all areas for me to even bother. i learn so much peripherally from this show. sometimes not even about guitar.
@@richardclark. Same here
Its been great spending 2023 with you guys, and I love how humble and appreciative about the amazing gear you are fortunate enough to play with. Ive been expanding my hybrid analog/digital studio and have been loving every second of it. Love you guys and Happy New Year!
Thank you for all the great shows this year, I appreciate everyone for this great community.
The Kingsley Harlot sounded so freaking great with Dan's les paul that I know I'm going to come back to that bit in the next couple of years. Happy holidays everyone!🎉
What a great way to end 2023! Thank you, Mick and Dan, for all the great shows! Happy New Year!
What a fantastic year of TPS shows! I picked up the halo and expression pedal .... wonderful! Best purchase was a Boss bp-1w boost..... the magic bullet for my rig that Ive been searching for.
Thanks for all your great work this year Mick & Dan!
That thing that "Didn't work out", makes me have goosebumps cause of Dan being inspired! Man! Love it!
I’m going to have a year of no gear and commit to more regular lessons. I have lovely gear, there’s nothing I want to do that my gear is stopping me from doing…
THIS!
Yup I’m in a similar place, my rig has settled at a place where now learning how to play better is my tonal frontier.
Thanks guys for another year of passion and love for all things music. You provide the community with the best in learning , variety, fantastic playing, guests and humor. As a regular part of my life I feel you both as friends and mentors in life’s greatest never ending journey towards sound and music. Cheers and thanks from Bucks County PA.
Thank you Gents, for another wonderful year of content! Thought provoking, insightful and entertaining as always. I may not be as invested in every topic, but i always find many nuggets of information in each episode. And the episodes that im into have provided new ways to look at things, that opened up new avenues of expression.
Please keep the DGT. You got a real "good 'un".
Great 2023 guys - thx for all the inspiration :-) Have fun on the vintage ES quest, Mick - I'm lucky enough to have a couple of 60s ES's, and each is unique. I've not come across another electric guitar model with so much variation between individual examples. The neck tone is especially variable, and IMO it's not just the pickups. I'm sure you've played a few over the years, though, and know which ES feel and tone you're looking and listening for.
Thank you Gents for this opening! And Mick , Enjoy you recording gear and the Strat with full heart and joy. If they inspire you that is worth it. Life is too short to wait.
Thank you for all the shenanigans! Happy holidays!
Nice way to end the year. Happy New Year to you both!
My hope in 2024 is you both show off your pedalboards more (either in proper shows or as VLOGs). My favorite episodes of TPS are always the ones where you pull out your actual boards and make music.
Guys, this might be the best video of 2023, if not your overall best video.
I love the discussion and insights on what works for you and what does not and why. Thats the important thing "why". And as always with you, its rarely "this does not sounds good"
Yo Dan & Mick! You two have changed my "Tone" this year for which I am so Thankful as my sound and playing experience has vastly improved this year.
One aspect that your shows offer is the level of detail that has helped my understand of what is happening to the signal when processed in various pedals.
Mid-summer of this year I built my own pedal board and had 3 pedals on it. Since then, I have maxed out the available space with 14 pedals!! I wonder what 2024 will bring in your episodes that I will have to build a second/annex pedal board for?!
Best Regards,
James
For 2024, I would love to see a video showing you guys select 2 guitars, 1 amp, and 1 pedal board you would put together to use for all of your non-TPS playing, all the gigs, practices, blues-jams, jazz gigs, etc. for all of 2024.
HAPPY NEWYEAR GENTS! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.
Holy crap Dan…that piece you did with the LVX was in incredible. One of the best sequences of playing you’ve done on the show.
Wow, thanks! 🙏
Thank you Mick & Dan, appreciate all that you do. Happy new year!
Thank you for keeping me sane in an insane world.
You guys are the kind of friends I need.
Thanks for another great year!
How about a "utility" pedal episode this year? I know you've featured the GigRig heavy weights in the past like Dan's super cool mixer but it might be somewhat captivating to watch you two work out other's offerings, EHX and Old Blood Noise come to mind immediately. I wonder if there's a notable stereo output signal blender. Mix it up with a wet/dry reprise perhaps, and the various virtues of approaching production level signal before plugging into an interface or a desk. Maybe even a guest or two with that focus, especially studio rats that engineers universally love. What do you think?
Thanks for reminding us what day of the week it is! Time to go attempt to recreate these sounds! Happy New Year everyone.
Many thanks Leg Ends, another stunning year for TPS its hard to say what I prefer the most was it the vqc or the pedals or the guest's. I know it's Mick & Dan you guys are just the best. Have a great New year. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
Several years ago I caught a superb Texas Blues player who had just acquired an excellent 335 - he said it completely re-arranged his head, breaking him out of his box into a new landscape of not just sounds, but "feels" in his approach to playing.
Thanks for all the shows in 2023, wish you a great 2024!
Hi there! Long-time watcher, just wanted to say Dan's jam with the LVX after discussing his struggles with it is possibly my favorite bit of playing on the show. Truly emotional and marvelous.
that small stone is INSANE!!!!!
Very nice end of year episode, gents!
I liked your choices for the year, especially your recording and preamp epiphanies (and Gareth Johnson is def mad-talented... the Love Bomb pedal for one is exceptional). Getting the sound you want at the time of the recording -- and to take it one step further... being *opinionated* and just capturing the sound you love in the moment -- is so important and beats the pants off of option paralysis!
Regarding the good Doctor Z: Peach Guitars down the road from you (and probably others) have the new Z-80 which sounds *mega* and is the Brad Paisely co-designed amp, would love to hear you try it!
Happy New Year!
Love you guys, appreciate all the fabulous discussions and tone. Cheers to the new year 👍
Thanks, Dan and Mick for all of 2023, looking forwards to 2024.
About 15 years ago I played a vintage ’64 cherry red 335 in a shop in London whilst checking out a pedal I was interested in buying. The guitar felt like it was playing itself, playing me even. It was beautiful, so beautiful that I had a hard time focusing on the pedal, a Strymon Obi-1 - a great pedal and i bought it, though I’m sure the guitar influenced the decision. Haunted, I am.
Good luck Mick on your quest! Happy new year TPS family 🙏🏼💜✨
Great Year! Thanks!!
A great year of TPS shows. I am looking forward to what you guys have in store for 2024. Happy New Year Dan and Mick!
Thanks for an interesting and joyful year. I've made some big and changes gear wise. Lots of stuff gone for few great bits. All of it inspired by you guys. You helped me rearranging my gain stages and up my wobbly game. New to the board are revv g3, ripply fall, and dm 101. Sonicly, i am in a great place thanks to you. Next big thing for 24 will be updating my qmx8 to some sort of second hand g3 (sorry Dan). Thanks for all you do. I hope i can share my enthusiasm at an experience day one day.
All the best and happy new year leg ends
love you guys, great year of shows, great year of shared knowledge. have a great new year
Mick I’d love a deep dive into the studio gear and how you use it. ! At least one view from me you’d have !!
Thank you for a wonderful year of sounds. Your talent for interviewing guests is so enjoyable, the warmth and excitement that comes across never fails to bring out best from them. Noel Gallagher’s interview was a lesson in songwriting that really stood out, he showed a level of genius that we all dream of. Thanks again Guys.
Noel is good but hardly a genius…..McCartney and Lennon are geniuses
@@armandom28 Different people have different opinions, that’s how the world works. Yours is yours and mine is the correct one.
“I just want to hear the sound I want to hear”. That’s my only aim with guitar gear. Has been for a few years now. It’s so liberating to know why.
Dude those early small stones are pretty incredible. I recently was engineering a session for some recordings of mine and ran a cello through a roland space echo and put an early 70s small stone in the loop of the space echo. Results were glorious
Thanks for another year of great content!
Right on Gents! Thanks for another great year of commentary! Happy New Year to all you and yours.:)
Now im looking foreward to this year guys. Rock on
'It's all in pursuit of the note.' Beautiful. What a wonderfully concise summation of the great, complex and immensely rewarding tone chase.
Thanks guys. Happy New Year!
Discovered Andy Wood through the TPS interview…resulting in a Gearbox and Halo purchase. Using a 73 Tele into a 75 Silverface Twin with JBL’s. Sounds glorious! Thanks for all the education, all the music, and all the fun; you guys are awesome!
Happy New Year…. Dan and Mick ! 🎉🥳🎊🎸🎸
Love this show, guys! You always seem to get me to try new approaches and gear combinations. For next year, seriously take a dive into Magnatone amps. The Mangatone Panoramic Stereo amp blows me away (try dialing both tone controls back to 9 o'clock). Happy New Year (Gear)!
It's cool watching Mick dabble with the Rickenbacker. I have been dabbling with Rickenbackers 20 years now and haven't been able to make one my #1. I have a 1995 330 like the one you have on loan and one of the new 2023 360s which returned to the 21 fret neck as opposed to the 24 fret neck that had been around since the early 70s. Both great guitars and get plenty of looks everytime I take them out. Rickenbacker standard nut widths are at 41.4 mm (1.63″). That's the same as the old Fender width but with the Rickenbacker the neck doesn't widen as much. Also food for thought if you plan to get a late 60s Gibson you're gonna have an even small 39 mm nut width.
It’s so weird. Whatever the measurement of the nut I think the string spacing is more the thing. So I absolutely cannot play this guitar. Just toooo tight. I just bought a 1965 ES-345… Relatively thin nut. It’s one of the most playable and comfortable guitars I’ve ever owned. Go figure!
Thanks guys for all the hard work this year! Please do the Dr. Z / AC30 / Matchless comparison video. Would be very interested in hearing that.
Great job this year boys, fantastic interviews with Johnny and Noel.
My favorite purchase this year have been the benson delay for pedal and a two rock vintage deluxe for amp
Happy new year, guys! I don't think I missed a single episode this year. Took a while to get to some of them, but the backlog is now emptied. A truly extraordinary year. I mean, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher, just to mention two. Some lesser-known-to-the-non-guitar-geeks as well, equally lovely. No rest and recharge! See you on the other side!
BTW, Wifey got me a lovely "premium" coffee/tea mug for Christmas. Loving it!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year gents, thanks for another brilliant year of shows, TPS never ceases to provide inspiration. And I’m sure I can’t be the only one fascinated by the recording processes, so don’t be afraid of going there - that’s how music travels the world most of the time, right?
It's my dream too, getting a vintage 335 and I agree it makes a real difference to my hears. But I am very lucky to have my LP from 2006 and my old GB10. Happy new year guys . Love , music and pesetas ;)
This year was crazy for acquisition and release of some great gear.
Acquired: TR Studio Sig+112 cab, Marshall 1958X HW, Gibson Custom '59 dirty lemon, FCS '68 Tele Thinline, Klon KTR, HX Stomp XL(I absolutely need a completely silent solution,) and a few other small things.
Sold: '72 Twin Reverb Non-MV, '73 Bassman 50 head, Marshall Class 5, Fender AmDlx Tele, Epiphone Inspired By Gibson ES335, and yet a few other small things.
Cutting three amps for the Two Rock was a big push, but I would not have gotten close enough without doing so and I'm more happy with that one amp than I was with the other three.
The mention of odd guitar shops that sold random stuff along side their music gear put me in mind of the now long gone Victor Morris in Glasgow, the only shop I've ever seen that would just as happily sell you a machete or crossbow as a strat 😳 Cheers for another year of awesome videos!
for me, 2023, musically, was epic. Got back into playing with real people, playing with volume. Got a Gibson Les Paul Junior from 2010, which has been the only guitar I've played. Paired it with a Marshall sc20h. Cranked it numerous times. Found pedals to go along with it.
That clean sound is epic! Huge humbucker fan. Can't get over that. And the harlot. Exactly the tone I love.
Mick, I have a 1966 ES 335 that has some issues, and I can tell you first hand, it is wonderful. Can't wait to see what you end up with!
My biggest surprise this year has been the UAFX Dream 65. I had a FM9 but haven’t really been able to get by with it. Use the Dream 65 for in ear monitor mixes on stage and a little bit for front of house. Brilliant solution in conjunction with my on stage amp, a ML Deville. Never thought I’d get away with a digital amp sim, but it’s great!
"Let's fix it in pre", needs to be on a tee-shirt.
My most impactful piece of gear this year was the humble DOD250 Preamp. A standard issue new one, not even vintage. I've finally found my distortion pedal. It play so well with the SG, very dynamic and touch sensitive. Ive been stacking ODs for years chasing a good distortion and was never quite satisfied, and all the distortion pedals Ive tried were either too over the top and/or did not clean up easily. the 250 has solved those problems. Between it and my Nobles I can get all the OD/Dist tones I need, and if I want anything more over the top I can just use a fuzz.
Cue Jingle - The Best part of waking up is @That Pedal Show in your Cup!
Great way to wrap up a wonderful year of content. Enjoy the remainder of 2023 guys, see you soon in 2024! ❤🙏🏼
Gorgeous chords with the "Inspiration Machine", Dan
Great stuff ! Thank you lads !
Dude I have been watching for 5 years and was running an EV cab when I started and was getting killer tones. Im so happy you brought that up
that triple screen of Mick playing drums bass and guitar- I’ve seen a bit of it when he did it-but man bravo you sound great brother and audio sounds amazing. but you’re playing on all three instruments is just spectacularly tight and solid and in the pocket.
then i got to bits where you guys are jamming on the harm monk with your monster drummer-both sounding so great on bass and guitar! bravo.
👌👍👊
happy new year gents!
Thank you Dan & Mick for another year of inspiring content. I watch everything you post and look forward to what you have have planned for next year. I have a feeling it's going to be epic. Wishing you and all the That Pedal Show viewers a lovely 2024 - With Gratitude - John
And by the way here's my list : Used the Most : UA Dream '65, UAD Apollo Twin, Macbook Pro with Logic Pro X. Surprised me the most : Origin Effects Cali '76 Stacked Compressor, EHX Tri-Parallel Mixer, Boss SY. - 200. Thing which didn't work out : Boss Slicer, Pigtronix Philosophers Tone. Favorite Thing : Rickenbacker 330 and 360/12, Digitech Freqout. Last Think You Bought : Eastwood Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet, Line 6 Pod 2.0, Digitech Drop. The one thing you're going to acquire next year : JangleBox JBX Compressor, RMS X100 V3.
Happy New Year to you, Mick and Dan! As I mentioned already a while ago, Fridays would be meaningless without your videos. So thank you once again for your amazing work.
Happy new year! And thank you for the kind words.
when you played that old phaser... led zep came to mind immediately!! lol
Thanks for a great year of content to the whole crew!
Looking forward to what 2024 brings.
I don't have to tell you, Mick and Dan, that the reason the Johnny Marr Jaguar is such a great guitar is because Johnny really cares about every nuance of the instrument, and the choices he made for that model are all very conscious, deliberate choices. From the 7.25" radius to the non-reverse pickup, to the 4-way switching, to the additional voicing switches, the vibrato arm bushing, the bridge...everything about that model is carefully thought out. Every guitar I get from now on, I want to have that 4-way switching system.
Happy New Year, Guys wishing the best for you both next year and just keep bringing the great video's and content more so the incredible tones from all the amazing gear FFP Fan For Life!!!
Thank you guys for a great year. You’re certainly a part of all of our lives, and we appreciate all the hard work and the relentless consistency It takes to do what you do.
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for another fun year of TPS! Hope to see more of Dans Les Paul in 2024. Love it!
"Let's fix it in pre". Brilliant!
You guys always make me need a new bit of gear 😂
Great episode to cap another great year! Happy 2024, Gents! Also: Your video descriptions are the best on UA-cam - always impressed and appreciate the hard work put into the editorial side.
Jesus Dan’s little run there when demoing the harlot was spectacular playing!! Someone ate their Wheaties this morning!
30:40 - 31:50 🤯 that was gorgeous mate!
There's still a honk in my head whenever an artist like Ed is mentioned 😂
Thanks for the great year, you’ve made wonderful companions Best Wishes
(am) Looking forward to the New Year with you both of course! 🎸🌟✌🏻❤️
Great show guys, happy new year to you both and thank you for all the shows.
Thx for all wonderful show and insperation this year hope the next will be even better Love from Sweden
I genuinely love watching your show, your passion, and spark keeping the stoke alive infinitely. My D&M drive will always remain on my board, and I wear my TPS gear with pride. I continue to learn so much from you both. Cheers, and hope you and yours have a tremendously happy new year. Thank you.
Thank you David! A very happy new year to you!
That Johnny Marr sig for me is THE guitar for Dan. Brings out the good stuff
Truly an epic year for TPS. Looking forward to 2024! Thanks for everything you do.
For complex pedals like the H90 and LVX, they should always include a "simple" UI option that just covers the bare bone basics of whatever effect it is controlling. It would then cater to two different audiences well.
Dear Mick & Dan, thank you for bringing this great content . It is always a moment of relaxation and the chatter brings back memories playing & discussing with my band in the 90s . Thank you both, have a nice year’s ending, wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2024. Looking forward to the vids in 24. 🎉 greetings from Flanders, Belgium 🇧🇪 cheers 🍻
Also greetings & best wishes to the crew behind the screen! Cheers! 🍻
Much love to you guys! How you have fewer than 10M subs blows my mind. Happy New Year!
Love the show and watch alot!! Great job!
Mick...
Want for 2024: Dan playing that Les Paul more!
Thank you, D&M. Nice video to end 2023 and take us into 2024. Dan: regarding Dr. Z amps. I suggest looking at the Z Wreck for your AC30 comparison; the big one not the Z Wreck Jr. Z also is working on a new version Sting/Stangray, which will be called the X-Ray if it is released. Lastly, the Z-80 is astonishing, but they're still pretty scarce. It's Z's take on the old Vox AC80-100. Looking forward to seeing you in 2024.
You guys should start doing guitar and amps like you do pedals in your show. Would love to see Mick do a bunch of A/B/Cs with strats.
