+1 for Dan's chord harmony lesson
And my axe!
+2
Yes please!
Yes please!
yes pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee!!!!!
+1 for all mentioned video ideas! Dan building a Fuzz Face, a harmony lesson video and a single coil high gain video!
i'm surprised someone asked about single coils + high gain and glad they did. billy corgan, j mascis, kevin shields, among many, get ***tremendously*** high gain sounds out of single-coil strat/jazzmaster pickups. incredible tones.
Yes yes yes Dan, please do chord lessons. Also could you teach us your country hybrid picking stuff. Many thanks. Xxxxx
this show is WONDERFUL and continues to interest, amuse and delight myself and what is obviously a guitar army of followers
Great idea, a show about single coils. High of medium gain, and P90’s normal and humcanceling (parallel)🎸👍🏼
I was at a jam session yesterday and asked the other guitarist who had a nice looking schecter if I could “have a shwang”, and he looked at me blankly, with no idea what I meant - my heart was broken just a little bit.
Lol. He then quietly text's his wife or gf and says.. I don't want you hanging out alone with electric flapjack ever again :)
To clarify, did this conversation occur in a men's room?
What model Schecter? There are different types of "Schecter-Personalities"
I'm a PT Fastback Special (extroverted/thinking)
And you went: “Well, since our guitars are night and cheese...”
Yes yes yes. Absolutely my favorite new part of the show. Another + 1 for the "What's that chord" show. Thanks again boy, love your work.
Thank you, Mick and Dan, for the stellar content and educational platform. So happy to see two guys passionate about what they do and enjoy sharing with others that share that with you!
Would love a Vlog on Chords!!
Absolutely YES to a Dan chord vlog!!
Mick: I also use the Supro Trem, BUT... I actually mainly use it as an overall tone sweetener, so it's always on. It just sounds so good with my setup as a sort of pre-amp. I place it after my drives with the gain between 7 and 9pm depending on mood, and before my echos.
Mod tip for anyone wanting to do this: I replaced the Depth knob with an MXR/Dunlop style with the rubber cover so I can roll in the trem with my foot when I want some. Easy.
On the subject of songwriting rigs: I've designed for myself a "fly rig" type pedalboard designed to be used for practice, demo recording, and even direct to PA live performance, for both guitar and bass. My plan is to use mostly mini pedals from tc electronic and One Control, a DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim Deluxe, and a Radial J48 Stereo DI (one channel for instrument DI/safety track for later re-amping, the second channel for mono to the PA). The whole thing will fit on a flat board small enough to go into a standard 22x14x9 rollaboard suitcase and leave plenty of room for clothing and toiletries.
Massive thank you gents!! This chord was literally haunting me. Majorly frustrating to try and play it when testing out gear and never be able to find it.
I can completely see why its your favorite chord Mick. I love the sound of it and when hearing it with delay....as Dan would say....EPIC!! Its just one of those chords that makes something that already sounds great...sound even better!
Now I have to go practice F add9 for the next month or so!! I am so happy to have this video to refer back to if I dont get the sound right! TPS....its not just about Pedal and Amp education!
Cheers
Rob
Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but the Pedaltrain Nano and Nano+ just have two rails and work perfectly! Just done a six mini-pedal board with the Nano+ and their Volto battery pack so thanks for the inspiration!
Dan, if you're going to build Fuzz Faces with different guts, please use the same enclosure so we can take the visual prejudice out of our listening. A Vlog on chord harmony would be way cool. And if you do a show on phasers, it'd be great if you could get a LongAmp Custom Shop Da Funk Orange ... from the maker of Dan's Roxanne flanger. Cheers!
Gents, a suggestion for Dan's direct rig ----- Guitar -> distortion, overdrive, etc -> Effectrode Blackbird 600 ohm bal out -> mixer. For the wet side - Effectrode line out -> reverb - delay, etc -> ADA GCS-5 analog speaker sim -> mixer. You get a psuedo wet dry by using the transformer out for dry and the 1/4" output running to the wet stuff. Each is fed into separate mono channels on the mixer. Had to swap the phase on the bal out and add a little top end at the mixer input. That could also be handled by another GCS-5 or perhaps both speaker sims could be done with a single GCS-6, it's two GCS-5's in the same enclosure. The transformer out on the Blackbird is balanced so I just swapped the wires in the connector to change the phase. The Effectrode Blackbird is a great preamp, I hope you guys take a look at it some day. The tube tone is absolutely in there.
Thanks for all great shows! Cheers!
Yeah, also would love to see the VLOG about chord theory and harmony.
Love the show, love the shirts...
Long-time watcher, first time poster.
Put me down for chord harmony vlog. Every once and a while Dan while hit a chord and bend one of the strings and it sounds soooooooo cool. I’d like to learn how it’s done.
Warrick Rockboard for avoiding the rail space issues with Pedaltrains. Since changing over I've never looked back!
I got a name check...I. GOT. A. NAME. CHECK! Life complete
One of the reasons I love my Palmer Pedalbay (that isn't just the price compared to Pedaltrain) is that you can adjust the rail spacing on the "rear" rails (furthest from your feet) as some of the pedals I don't tend to switch frequently, and thus can be put at the back, happen to be smaller.
I think that chord that Mick plays there is the same one that I play in the chorus of my song "June 28th". All those pretty maj7, sus2/add9, and sus4 chords are a staple for old shoegazers like me.
Really looking forward to the singlecoil high gain show. It would be great if you could also cover sc-sized humbuckers like the hotrails you mentioned and noiseless singlecoils.
Great idea!
Vlog on chords and chord harmony: YES, PLEASE. :)
RJ Ronquillo has been wearing a lot of TPS swag lately. I think it's time to have him on.
Check out the NUX Solid Studio. The reviews are amazing & the bit rate & latency appear to better all other options. Another plus for Mick is all the controls are on the top.
To solve the pedal train space problem my son came up with putting the Velcro the Horizontal. Works great for small pedals.
+1 for chord harmony vlog!
+1 for hi-gain with single coils, i sometimes play hi-gain with a center block Gretsch with Filtertrons, i have to dial it in differently than my EMG-loaded Explorer but it works, was already wondering about single coils since strats were somewhat popular in early metal.
And i agree, there is no perfect pedalboard on the market but since pedalboards are a very personal thing it's hard to design a board that fits all possible needs. I build my own 2-floor pedalboard from wood and i have to completely rebuild it every few weeks because i want something a little bit different, in that perspective i can't even design the perfect board for myself.
Yes Dan, I would love to see an "expensive chord changes and progressions" video! But PLEASE do the Fuzz Face pedal build video first =) Thanks for all the great content fellas. Cheers!
Would enjoy Dan's chord harmony lesson. (FWIW, my favorite way to listen to your videos is on studio monitors: Yamaha HS8s, in my case.)
Case in point regarding surface mount: The Benson Preamp. You’d think it was full of paper in oil caps and turret board by the sound of it, but it’s 100% SMD. Benson makes hand wired boutique amps so you’d expect the same of his pedals, but in this case he actually thought the SMD version sounded better. Just goes to show that if something’s designed to sound a certain way it doesn’t matter how big or small the components are. It’s 100% design. The Kingtone Minifuzz is phenomenal too and lives quite happily with my RCA Sunface.
Three things. First I don't really consider a mini fuzzface a mini pedal it's just proper size, I would never buy a large fuzzface for space reasons. Second I would love a chord harmonies vlog Dan. Lastly did you know Ariel Posen played the TPS outro riffon an Andertons video for Hansen Guitars released the same day as this VCQ?
I think mini pedals are best deployed strategically, for saving a few inches here or there rather than as part of a full-blown "mini 'board extravaganza." I placed my Mooer ElecLady on the edge of my Pedaltrain Jr where it's all metal underneath. In addition to having Velcro on the bottom, I tied some light string around it to help with support and keep it steady. Works like a charm!
Yes to Dan’s chord vlog. Also... Mini pedals are great with a switcher... and if you use Velcro and a cable tie... you can put the mini pedals long way on the slats of a pedalboard.
Yes to the chord harmony series! Thanks, Dan!
4:36 "It's all in your head" - a good analogy (IMO!) is when you see a full moon rising -- it always looks HUGE ... but it isn't it's the very same size in the sky as it is whe it's moved far into the sky. It's all in your head ... but the perception can't be denied! True story. Same for ears as eyes, I reckon.
Another "yes" for learning chord magic
I see a Victory v140 behind you. Yes! Love to see how the clean sound on the Victory compares with the Two Rock. ✌️😎
Big yes to the chord harmony vlog!
That chord is usually written as a slash chord C/F. It’s also called a mu chord. They are all over Steely Dan records. The first pop music occurrence I’m aware of is in Jimmy Webb’s “MacArthur Park” in the groovy jam middle section.
Ok, pausing right now to say yes Dan, please do the chord harmony vlog! I love you two's playing and I think you would be a great teacher.
It’s great to see you guys moving beyond your initial brief of just discussing pedals. I like the chord harmony vlog idea and have enjoyed the other repair and technical vlogs. My favourite episode of all remains your visit to play the vintage Fender guitars. That was awesome and I go back to it regularly to reference the touchstone tones. Stealing an idea from Josh of JHS, would you consider referencing an album or track performance at the end of episodes that acts as an example of the sounds or effects you have been discussing?
The Truefire course with Robben Ford is excellent. Check out the JD Simo Clip as well. Love it.
If you guys are planning on doing a Phaser show, you need to get a Solid Gold FX Apollo, and a Native Audio Midnight. I've got a Midnight that you can borrow if you want?
I'm a big fan of using a valve preamp into an IR cab simulator. There's lots of uses for this if you can get it right. I've compared the Mooer Radar to the Hotone CAB and prefer the CAB because it has more controls on the unit than the Radar does which I find makes it easier to fine tune. It also comes with 100 built in IR's which of course you can add to with 3rd party IR's.
Dan,
when you build the circuit, try it with carbon film, metal film and metal oxide resistors.You will find each sounds different.
Similar can be said for capacitors. yellow film caps are very different from brown caps which are different to oil and paper.
it wont cost you more than 15minutes and 4quid
Please give it a go and then re-evaluate whether a resistor is doing the same job. they do but with different outcomes.
hi guys, love the show! there's nothing wrong with mini pedals, but the issues i find with them are things like hitting the button (i use a qmx4 though ;) ) and you don't save much space because of the awkward power cables and how they have to weave in and out of the pedalboard. it drives me mad! i still love my cheap mini pedals. they're not the same as the things they're trying to be, they're their own thing!
Great show, thanks a lot! If you will look again to small pedals, you may want to take a look on the Japanese „one control“ stuff if you can get hold of those - I really dig the sound and feel of the ones I have (reverb, tubescreamer, compressor, trem) and I think you never had those on your show.
YES YES YES DAN ON 2 COUNTS!
1. Do that fuzz face comparison build as that will be truly illuminating. And....
2. Do that Vlog on chord harmonies. YEAH MAN!
Hey Mick, I am just really a beginner but I wanted to say thanks, I’ve been incorporating some of your phrasing into my playing... If you like you can hear it in my last video lesson I did for Berklee.... cheers
DEFINITELY do a vlog on chord harmony. That would be awesome! Would love to see that type of thing from both of you, discussing what goes through your mind as you're creating in the moment.
The entire time I was distracted by the 1960ax in the background because I just got a 1960bx. I remember the episode about the number of speakers, but I don’t recall ever hearing your preference on slant versus straight cabs. Do tell.
Also, cheer up already! :)
dan an mick ,love the the q an a posts i find them just as informative as the your normal posts... im realy antisipating your latest an upcoming posts u both spoke of all in the realms i pondered myself, which has me stoked ...an dan u know what he means we want to see u get all expressive an show us emotions in your faces when playing that we are all aware of an have grown to like watching ...mick u to...when your feeling the moment in the room u smile an blush like a red lollipop...its all good it leads to the comment of u guys finding that thing in all the pedals u show an play its inspiriation an u guys inspire me to explore the pedal world at ease an exitement an good perspective...
Two thumbs up for Dan's Chord Harmony VLog! Thanks.
Definite yes on the chord harmony vlog!
On the small pedals not fitting on boards very well.. I built my own board out of wood, stained it a nice black and built a 4 way patch bay into the back of it for "in" "out" "FX send" and "FX return" really happy with it actually and it fits in my gig bag and under my desk.
Huge yes to chord harmony from Dan. If it also features the maltipoo puppy I'll be in heaven :)
Yes to high gain with single coils!!!
Get Andrew Groves from Arcane Roots on!
On pots. When I pulled my old Boss TR-2 apart a couple of years ago It had tiny little 9 mm pots in it. Pot size doesn't matter.
The Temple Audio boards allow you to place pedals in any configuration. Excellent mounting system as well. It makes my OCD very happy.
No complaints about your audio quality from this quarter.
Both on cans and my monitors it sounds very natural.
That little bit of room ambience is definitely worth the effort of capturing.
Cans mainly AKG K240s and monitors old 80s Tannoy Mercury II.
Dan, you should take a lok at Thomas Blugs BluBox, a real "simpleton" IR pedal with some great tones. Run it with a pre amp pedal (think one of those Kingsley would be killer) and you're all set. I'm running it myself with a Two Notes Le Clean in front and I'm getting some great tones as a desktop noodler.
Great show, love these Q&A videos :)
4 episodes later I'm realizing that you have one just above your head Dan...
I met Mick at the show and told him how my Dad ordered a 'fuzz is all you need' size 14 year years old t-shirt for my 32nd Birthday - bit of a stonehenge spinal tap moment when putting it on - i only told him the story as i thought it was quite funny that i ended up wearing a crop top, and first thing he said was to get in touch and he'll sort me out with the right size.... its obvious he's a decent bloke he is (as im sure Dan is too) but it just showed just how much they actually care for the fans of the show. Absolute top marks there!!!!!
And I mean it Ashely! Please send us a mail to the store and I'll get it sorted! Great to meet you and your dad! :0)
More guitar lessons, chords and licks!!! Please, please, please.... You guys are great!!!
Definitely interested in the chord harmony Vlog. Plus I think the audio sounds great. From Mick's Vlog the only thing the guys could do better would be to build a room in a room studio with better acoustics. Unfortunately the room is the room... and this is true for most of us. If anything it's inspiring that such a great sound comes from a room with only basic treatment. Fantastic show guys. Keep it up!!! :)
Chord harmony, Dan? Yes, please!
I usually mount mini pedals sideways on one of the rails of my PedalTrain board, for stability. Don't have to worry about spanning the rails then.
Just a big thanks to TPS:
We record a lot of young aspiring guitarists at our studio and you guys have really helped me a lot with finding tones that suit their original music with the growing collection of pedals we own. You guys are also bang on regarding all the side-info you provide on the show... some examples: wet/dry recording, EQ and speaker combinations, things that matter in a studio.
What would your suggestion be on a do-it-all delay that's easy enough for an ogre like me and an artist with no experience on the pedal to use??? #Valontemuch?
Love that we finally listen to Audio Kitchen's Big Chopper amp in forthcoming episodes
Yes to the harmony chord lesson, perhaps wth Justin Sandercoe?
+1 on a Dan Master Class on his amazing chordal style of playing, which often leaves me slack jawed and wondering how on earth to play that way. I love his approach, and I really appreciate the fact that you both play so differently but in such a complementary way - that is, for me, one of the very best things about TPS.
On another subject, inspired by the question in this VCQ about any pedal sounding awesome in the right hands and context: I wonder often, when you guys are producing these amazing sounds, how those amazing sounds wind up sounding in a band mix or a recorded track. You talk about this sometimes, but I'm sure many people have had the experience of finding a really killer sound in their room which sounds totally different (not in a good way) at band practice or in a club with different acoustics.
YES ~ Dan's chord harmony lesson !!!
Yes please on chord harmony. thank you.
Interesting.. my pedal board lets you slide the rails for optimal pedal placement. can close the gap for smaller pedals.
Yes, yes, yes on the chord vlog! Thanks boys
In response to 21:32 - YES! MORE CHORDS!
Shout out to Peter Frampton for all he has given us. I wish him peace and good health in his retirement.
TJ Nugent for real. Definitely going to try and catch a few of the last shows. Talk box aside, what a great player. Although he did inspire me to buy a talkbox😂
Dave Murray's Strats with Iron Maiden had DiMarzio Super Distortions and Janick Gers uses Hot Rails. I remember Rabea liked your Tele with the Boss Metal Zone though.
Go earlier than that....
@@ThatPedalShow Before that Dave had a Les Paul. I've only ever seen one photo of early Maiden where he has an SSS strat, which must have been a back up. KK Downing used a stock strat with Judas Priest though.
5m55s - The new(ish) Warwick Rockboards allow you to put nano pedals anywhere on the board. Lots of smaller holes. But i have a Pedaltrain :-(
Yes Dan, please do the chord vlog! Can't wait!
Aww you were at Birmingham too Mick! Sorry I missed you, would have loved to meet you. I'm glad you guys are interested in doing another Phaser show. I found the old video back on Dan's channel!
I wouldn’t know a c diminished chord from a hole in the ground. Well said sir. Aloha
😂😂😂
Yes to any type of lessons. And also TrueFire not only just released a Matt Schofield lesson but they just recorded lessons from Josh Smith and Kirk Fletcher. I also feel the need to express there customer service is excellent. I emailed them yesterday and had the issue (no issue of there doing) resolved prior to me leaving work today.
Thanks for the video, but if you let me correct something :P that what Dan played when he was clarifying his chord was NOT C Dim, it was C Dim7. C Dim non-7th shape is different. Cheers,
Mick, I hear you liked the Aynsley Lister Signature Amp from Rift then. Spent a good hour on and off playing through it Sunday. Amazing amp.
Zigzag pedalboard by holeyboard works great for small pedals!
Yes to the VLOG! (on chord harmony thing)
I use those chords a good bit and had no idea what they were. I would love love love to see a video that would expand my chord knowledge.
Felt like the old days. Almost looked for my Hal Leonard book. :)
If you are going to do another show on phasers, I recommend taking a look at Mr. Black's Twin Lazers. It's a really nice stereo 4-6 stage phaser, and if you don't want to run it in stereo you can run it into itself doubling the staging.
LIKED FOR THE CHORD VLOG!!!!
Another yes for the chord vlog as well, thanks. Learning can be fun!!!!!
Yes to the chord vlog, thank you !
Chord style for harmonies - - yes please!
Definitely need to feature the Skreddy Little Miss Sunshine own your phaser show - gimme a shout if you want to borrow mine. Phase 90 type thing....is amazing! :D
Chord harmony with dan..? Yes please!!
Oh my! Have I inspired a component shootout? With Fuzz Faces being the weapons of choice? Nice! VERY much looking forward to seing that!
Dan, YES! Do a vlog on chord harmony. I know it might not be true to the typical tps topic, but I’m sure there are enough fans of tps (like me) that would enjoy and benefit from from hearing your perspective.
Was chord harmony proposed? I am down with that!!! Thanks again guys for all the info and fun times
Make sure you get the Redwitch phaser for any phaser episode, killer pedal
