    Life too short for long UA-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
    In this episode Dan reflects on his recent reconnection with his vintage Vox AC30, following some gig and recording preparation with his band Tin Spirits.
    Dan is using the AC30 connected to a Fryette Power Station to provide some attenuation, which helps put the amp in a sweet spot in terms of tone, dynamics and feel… but without excessive volume.
    Using that as the base tone, we go through his current selection of boosts, OD and fuzz to get all kinds of drive textures, throwing in some modulation and ambience for good measure.
    Dan is using the AC30 in its (modded) EF86 channel.
    Enjoy the episode!

    It's me, the Matt Jantzen from Durham who ordered the All You Need is Fuzz t-shirt at 5:50 in the episode. Tomorrow I graduate with my doctorate after working on it for 6 years, but that pales in comparison to hearing my name spoken on an episode of That Pedal Show. My three year-old son and I watch TPS every single week. Some of the first names he ever learned to say were "Mick and Dan." Thanks for all you guys do!

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  6 років тому +39

      Matt Jantzen I sorta know the feeling. A couple weeks ago they featured the dope priest in the P90 video because I asked about it a couple times in the comments. I called all my gear nerd friends and couldn’t stop smiling all day.

    Hey guys, I've been watching this show almost every week since basically the beginning, back on the old channel, and I want to say that I love the direction the show is going. The quality of production and spread of topics always keeps it interesting, and your excitement about good sounds is always contagious. You guys have taught me so much. Thanks for keeping it going, I'm excited for the new space!

  • @danielakerman8241
    @danielakerman8241 5 років тому +4

    LOL poor Dan. So emotional and excited he couldn’t even finish a sentence for the first 11 minutes of the vid! I was chuckling at how hard he was trying to express his thought and not getting anywhere. Love the vids guys, and your passion and joy.

  • @richardsp2794
    @richardsp2794 2 роки тому +1

    An oldie but such a goodie. Having just got an AC30 this helped me get to a killer sound in no time and picked the right pedals straight away too. Thanks chaps!

  • @ghostrevolver3332
    @ghostrevolver3332 2 роки тому +7

    The AC30 is pure magic.
    I have my own theory why it doesn't work for some: when I first played through mine I had been playing for about 13 years or so, and suddenly it was as though I was playing for the first time. I was noticing so many playing habits and techniques that just did not translate into how the AC30 sounds, and my playing sounded sloppy and garbage. There's a transparency to it that really emphasizes the individuality of your gear and playing (good and bad), and it takes a lot of time and dedication to learn how to play with it's strengths so it will play to yours. It's not an amplifier where you dial in the sound you want; it dials the sound from you. I could see how that process would not work for a lot of people, but for me it is inspiring and there's nothing I love playing through more.

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  2 роки тому +1

      That’s very well put. I think it’s true of all amps. Mick here.

  • @jamesdalziel4516
    @jamesdalziel4516 6 років тому +28

  • @happygolucky6271
    @happygolucky6271 6 років тому

    Im so pumped that you guys are doing the band thing to put some of your comments in context. So many musicians I meet dont know how to mix their amp for a band situation. They dial in a fat, monstrous tone at home but as soon as they play with the band, their sound gets lost in the mix. I Love what you are doing! Keep it up.

  • @southpaw335
    @southpaw335 6 років тому +1

    Just watched this basically straight after the no amps episode... faith restored, its like my ears breathed a sigh of relief... Those clean tones around the 40ish min mark with the fuzz face and guitar rolled back, and then the 335 and the tele with the mudhoney... gave me “ear joy” thanks lads!

  • @jaydougxc7
    @jaydougxc7 6 років тому +5

    That tele, and that vox is just friggin EPIC. Honestly Dan I get just as emotional as you mate! What an absolutely inspiring sound. Writing this at 18 mins in to the video. This is my favorite show guys keep it up!

    Maybe your best show ever. I actually got teary eyed. 😂 I am a huge fan of moving air with an amp. Mick pretty much was in an altered state with the mud-honey and the 335. Dan, for the open space you have to put in the Roxanne. Your love for the mistress made me buy one from Poland. Got shipped last Monday. Can’t wait til it arrives. I happened upon “Ghost in the Machine” today on vinyl. Boom goes the dynamite!

  • @NasserSharaf

    Really good show. I had made up a Matchless DC30 clone and struggled a bit getting my pedal board to sound good with it. Once I put an attenuator on the amp and dialled in the sweet spot the whole character of the sound changed for the better and it made the amp take pedals like a dream. Could not stop playing with it! Cheers guys

    Great show today guys, Loved it! As well as the P-90's show. I recently bought a gibson classic, with P-90's, and it was nice hearing all those articulate beautiful tones you both were getting. Now with the AC30, which I also have and play a hardwired AC30, it sounded amazing and taught me a lot about my amp and pedals and how I should be using them and what I shouldn't do, which I do lol. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!

    @brianmarker 6 років тому +1

    when i first started playing guitar i bought this cheap multi-effects pedal from korg that had a couple amp emulations on it.. id be on AC10 or AC30 non-stop. Years later i started playing more electric gigs and it was a no-brainer.. went with the AC10 and i couldnt be happier. Something about Vox's sound is just MONEY to my ears. Love this video guys! gave me some ideas for pedals and settings for some more cool tones.

  • @greghill6117
    @greghill6117 6 років тому

    Great video fellas! It has taken me many years to learn this simple lesson: The pre-amp has to push the input of the power amp sufficiently to achieve the sweet spot regardless of how much gain you use. This allows both sections to work together in an organic way with just the right amount of sustain and compression. Too much input from the pre-amp (or pedal) and the sound will get squishy, the treble harsh and the low end will get muddy/flubby. This is why I have amps with both pre-amp gain and pre-amp volume (don't confuse these 2) then you can push the frontend of the power section just enough to get the range of dynamics you need. After setting this up the next stage is the master volume which will provide an additional level of saturation from the power section (only if pushed to loud levels) which can be attenuated by a soak. I personally don't like soaks so I have amps I can change the wattage with.

  • @Troubadour03
    @Troubadour03 6 років тому +2

    This is my favorite style of episode. The ones where you demonstrate your own gear or interview other players who walk through their own rigs are always something special. Demonstrating different pedals and digging into technical stuff is awesome, but episodes like this are where stuff gets real. Maybe a Mick rig run through soon?

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  6 років тому

      Cool, cheers Steve. Mick here. Certainly when there’s a bit more personal relevance (whether it’s us or artists) the videos seem to connect a little better. Hopefully our new space will enable us to grow further down that path. Thanks as always for watching and commenting!

  • @EzyoMusic
    @EzyoMusic 6 років тому +1

    So hyped for what's to come! You've already taught me a lot about my own tone and tone in general. I found my Vox Bruno TB18C1 sort of by accident when I set out to find an AC15 but it's the best thing that could've happened. It made me dive into pedals more as well as learn how an amp should sit in a (recorded) mix. You already made me go out and get a King of Tone and I"m now toying with the idea of a Broadcast. And it's not gonna be the last thing either, I'm afraid.

    • @ThatPedalShow

    off the back of an episode you guys did a few months ago, i bought myself an ac15 greenback and a strat. it's maybe a 5th the price of my other amp, and barely half of what even my fairly small pedalboard costs. but god, that is my favourite amp in the world. I have never wanted to play guitar as much as i do now. Thank you for what you do, from the people who just want to chill and listen to bloody amazing guitar sounds and funny blokes for an hour. Keep on slapping your knees, drinking wine out of teacups and playing the crap out of those guitars!

    @solar3657 6 років тому +1

    Yeeeeeep! I get that same sweet spot with a much less powerful amp with vox type mods. When you are there, every gain pedal sounds good. Even my metal pedals. It still has the attack and crunch while it grinds. It's a thing of beauty.
    That D&M Drive on the tele. That is it right there. Perfect, no need to tweak it at all. Great show.

    Great fun as always. Interesting to watch you both as your tastes may evolve over time. And cant wait to see how opinions might change within a band context. I might have to check out a bad bob again and put if after sunface>beano>badbob>prince of tone.

    Thanks so much, gents, excellent show. You are the highlight of my week.
    I have two requests, from things you've mentioned of late:
    -The Hudson Broadcast came up again today. I got one recently based having discovered it in your show about different overdrives about a year ago (a long quest.) I’d love to see you dig into it, also fuzz and other pedals with good dynamic response, with tips about the techniques to get the most out of that quality.
    -A few episodes ago you had a new Princeton, and said we'd see more of it. (Please?)
    A show on the sweet spots in that and other Blackface amps done in a similar way to how you just brilliantly got the best of the AC30 would be great.

    @Les537 6 років тому +2

    The best thing I ever put in front of my vox was a tumnus, and still is! Tumnus gain down to 9 oclock and used in the same was as the bad bob with the amp set to where it's most dynamic. Between the volume on the guitar and the tumnus you have a world of range and it all sounds like your guitar and your amp - not like you just plugged into a new rig when you give it gas.

    The AC30 is my favorite amp, I swear everything I've ever put into it sounds great. And it's not just amazing for guitar, it's also spectacular for e-piano tones. It also pairs great with other amps. Anyone who doesn't like the AC30 is just wrong.

  • @timbradley

    Gents - just a quick note to let you know that this episode helped me immensely. I had band practice last night and after watching this video last week I feel like I finally got my AC30 tones dialed in so much better in the band mix, plus I could hear myself without being too pokey or thin, plus I had so much more control over my tone and timbre from my guitar volume/tone/pickup combinations. Even my band-mates commented on the great tones as well. Plus I feel like my amp responded better to my pedals like never before as well. You really helped me to find that 'sweet spot' that opens these amps up and makes 'em so special! Thanks for making these videos, and I'm so glad you did one on the AC30. Keep up the great work! Cheers. -Tim in Minneapolis, MN, USA

    • @ThatPedalShow
      @ThatPedalShow  6 років тому

      Ah, that’s awesome Tim! Yep, the AC30 is one of those amps that due to its limited eq options takes a little push to get dialled in right. Great stuff mate

    • @timbradley
      @timbradley 6 років тому +1

      WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. 😂 No, my band plays pretty loud rock music (and we are lucky to practice in a big space) so I'm able to 'open up' my AC30 enough to where I can find that sweet spot of clarity and crunch, all while it can respond well to my pedals and guitar tone/vol. At home, it's trickier (I don't own an attenuator), but I've got a master volume on my amp so I can dial in my preamp to try to find that sweet spot I found in the band, and then keep the master low. On evenings when my wife is out of town I might push that master up a bit as much as my ears can handle in my home studio. It certainly isn't as good as when you can open it up in the band, but it IS an AC30, haha. Good luck!

  • @danielchavez85
    @danielchavez85 5 років тому

    This is one of my favorite episodes. I watch it over and over again. The sounds you too get with this setup are inspiring. I finally took time to learn the piece Mick plays on Blue (42:45) and Daniel plays on Red (43:55) when you dispelled that myth about fuzzes and Vox’s. I was wondering if those were originals or if those are parts of other artist’s songs.
    My follow up question is if you’d recommend some artists, songs, or albums that have that same feel and texture. Thanks, boys! Love your show!

  • @RobCabreraCh
    @RobCabreraCh 6 років тому +1

    I know exactly what point Dan is referring to, when I first started to play guitar I was always kind of scared of that, because I felt it was too loud (back then). Nowadays, I turn my amp all the way up and I still can't hear it over my brother's drumset! But yeah, when I play I always try to get at least to that point if I can, that's where everything nice starts to happen.
    I think this has been my favourite episode of TPS so far. With some of the others, I rather feel like I don't really understand some of the things you talk about, myself being not really experienced with many amps, or many guitars, or many pedals. But this episode, I really can relate to that point were everything just makes sense. That point that I know is the reason the bands I like sound the way they do. Awesome sounds all around!

    Always love Vox tones. I've played many gigs with my old AC15 with the Celestion Blue in it cranked all the way up. Nothing like that tone.
    If you haven't had it on the show yet you should DEFINITELY check out the Blackstone Appliances Mosfet Overdrive. Very unique and sounds excellent.
    Also, being from Michigan in the US I'd love to see more Lovepedal stuff too.
    You guys ROCK! I may need to pick up a sunface...

    Being a church guy my British AC30(Korg era) lives in an amp room and we use in-ears on stage. But today I pulled it out and recorded for a country gig and had the exact same experience. When that thing hits the sweet spot it's just magic. I forgot how good of a sound that sound was.
