Gotta love this golden era of UA-cam channels. For people like me That Pedal Show is a dream come true but it couldn't exist without a platform like UA-cam. Stuff like this could have never been, nor will ever be, on TV. No network would ever buy a show that is this deeply geeky and niché but for many of us it's way more interesting than anything on TV these days :D
@@jimijames6449 same! now youtube has been my sole video watching platform. i no longer care about scripted shows, all i want is people nerding out on stuff i love.
16:35, that right there is why I love Dan's interviews. Always on the ball knowing when to let the other person speak when they want to say something. Stand out stuff!
I've been watching Rob and Lee for years and I must admit that it's them sitting in a room chatting shit, making nob/knob jokes and the over-the-top video editing that keeps me coming back haha. *Throws pick*, *explosion sound*.
Captain, you talk about the new Anderton's TV format. You've knocked it out of the park, love Pete, Paul, Mick and Rabea. Watching the videos just for the lols has really opened my mind up to stuff I wouldn't normally pay attention to.
I watch this and the related channels because my friends and family glaze over somewhere between hum and bucker. I'm sure we all feel like a community, and the presenters are the glue. We all benefit from your friendly take on guitars and gear. And you sell a ton of gear, just by initiating discussion and consideration. Thanks! 🤘🏻🎸
I LOVE THIS! I love that he gives Rob the love that he does! It's so great to see that these guys love each other outside of this screen! I'm watching in the middle of the United States and i feel like I could walk in to Anderson's, and walk right up to them and just be buds. What a blessing. Thanks!
awesome! awesome! awesome! It is truly the golden age of guitar tone artistry and communal discourse on achieving it couldn't get any better than this! Thank you so much That pedal show!
Great job Lee. Such a natural in front pf the camera, typically understated. Made a welcome change from those crazy pedals thingies the boys keep playing with.
Now that you've had the Captain on, it would delight me to no end if you could reach out to Justin Sandercoe, the greatest of all youtube teachers, who shares your passion and enthusiasm, and have him on your show. Since he's a teacher, you could talk about how beginners or students should use pedals or something like that. It would be great. He's also got a sweet new suhr he could bring along.
I met him at andertons, he served me and brought me whatever guitar I asked for, stood in the demo room with me and had a chat, what you see on you tube is the man in the flesh, there's no difference, such a nice guy and so not worried about the fame. he is was he is and what you see is actually what he is, just a nice guy
It’s a good point Steve, and probably one of the reasons I watch Dan and Mick more than Anderson’s. Rob is fine in small doses, but Pete annoys me no end.
I have been watching Rob and Lee's videos since before i started playing guitar. It must be like 6-7 years ago now! Great to see that all the greatest guitar youtube channels these days are somehow connected. I also love the Andertons channel and watch it religiously! I honestly think Rob's channel, the Andertons channel and that pedal show are the best things to have happened to the online guitar playing community since the invention of the internet!
I love this video. Shows just so clearly what sometimes gets lost a bit during Rob's videos: That Lee is an anstoundingly good player, who really owns the blues. Also clearly an amazingly nice dude. If I ever get around to Guildford, I'll really have to visit Andertons and buy something.
On that PlimSoul, the second gain stage is an LED clipping stage. The guitar signal passes through that exposed LED to get its second round of gain. The louder you play your guitar, the more current runs through that LED, so that's why you can only hardly see it sometimes.
Take a bow lads. Exceptional playing and feel. I wanted to stop the video after 1 min and just pick up my guitar. I love it when I see/hear something that just makes me want to play.
I really appreciate what Dan said about the "old-style" hand made amps. There is great value in knowing a talented fellow human spent hours using years of expertise to create the best amp, guitar, pedal, etc. so you can create the best music of which you are capable. I appreciate getting great tone cheap (don't we all), but the value I and Dan spoke of is real and as valid as the value of the sounds it makes.
Captain is spot on. That Pedal Show is the best channel imho out there currently. I have learned more form you guys about sound, tone and gear application in the last 4 months than I have in the last 7+ years (test/play time with some of these equipment is very scarce for me). A massive thanks to you guys!
totally agree that this is the stand out channel of my last year of UA-cam. awesome and have learned more from these vids than any others. I dash home from work on a Friday to watch these and was very excited with the bonus vids this week.
Best Chappers & the Captain video I've ever saw was the Ibanez rg with the korg electronics, the moment when Rob discovers the mic is the most hilarious thing in UA-cam
I couldn't agree more with Lee about the journey of finding your tone, and it making you play at a higher level than you would play if not inspired by your tone. I began playing guitar in 1985. My first guitar was a Hondo Strat copy and my first amp was a Roland DAC-10. Needless to say, my tone wasn't exactly all that inspiring, even for a 14-year-old punk who was convinced he was going to be in the best hardcore band east of the Mississippi. It wasn't until I was 20 years old that I got serious about wanting to play guitar and be inspired to play at a higher level. I literally drove around to every guitar shop in the Detroit-Metro area for an entire year until I found the guitar that nailed the tone I was looking for, as well as being a quality instrument that played like butter; it was a 1991 Gibson SG Special in TV yellow. Now onto my amps. After purchasing my SG, I decided on a Fender M-80 Stereo Chorus amp which sounded quite good. About 3 months later, I purchased a Digitech GSP 5 from a crackhead in front of my house, which I ran through the FX loop of my M-80. The tone I got from that setup was amazing. I eventually upgraded to a Laney Pro-Linebacker 100 Reverb half stack. Finding my tone led me to form a band, which later inspired me to move to San Francisco to start a band with other friends and form amazing friendships with people I'm great friend with 23 years later. The bassist from my first band went on to play with several other bands and musicians, tour, and basically change the entire trajectory of his life. Needless to say, I still play guitar to this day and have improved my tone even further thanks to Lee and Rob. I discovered their Anderton's videos while amp shopping about 4 years ago. I was looking for an affordable tube head, preferably an Orange. I found Rob and Lee's video "The Ultimate Orange Tiny Terror Shoot Out (Studio Quality Demo)". I decided on the Dark Terror, as I couldn't afford a TH30 head at that time. I paired the DT with an Orange PPC212 open-back cab. Well, I saved my pennies and eventually bought a TH30 head and an Orange PPC212 closed-back cab. I now run my TH30 through both my PPC212 cabs, and am in tone heaven. I have been playing at a level and with an ease that I never thought I would; with the help of a pretty nice guitar collection now too. So Lee is ABSOLUTELY correct when he says that finding your tone is where it's at.
Great interview with the Cap10! I agree, too, "That Pedal Show" is the best show on UA-cam in the past 12 months. Good job, guys! And, Mick, you gotta put an album out and capitalize on the youtube recognition. A lot of great players and songwriters would die for the platform you got, bro!
So much love into one video, thx cpt lee you and chappers got me into gear, and not loosing interest in playing, now you got me into watching That Pedal show.. Will visit your store someday. Greetings from Thomas from Denmark.
Another one of my fave episodes here. Speaking personally about why the Andertons channel and That Pedal Show is so popular, I watch it because there is so much more than just guitar talk thrown into the mix. I love the well informed but laid back interaction and indeed, the lack of hyperbole surrounding the gear. Both channels get to the nub of the subject matter in question without that feeling of a product(s) being pushed in your face. In short, the love, chemistry and the humor shine through.
+Simon Godfrey cheers Simon. I will just say that it was never part of 'the plan', Mick and I were walking around in LA talking about gear, as we always do, when Mick said, "we should just film this". Thanks so much for watching ;)
Well worth watching again because the Captain was smokin' even before his lessons with Justin! I think Lee was born for playing the Blues on a Strat. I still think Mick should be editor of Guitarist. So there!!
Dan and miCk or Mick and DAn thanks for your awesome playing, commentary, and sparkling gem of a channel. Love it and I'm a drummer that has a pedal fetish.
I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to on Friday! Can't wait to watch this one when I'm home from work.
best engaging content, honesty and fun ..guys you are legends.. Lee one day I'll leave darkest Northumberland for the realm known as Andertons thank you guys
I really would like to see you guys do an in-depth video on the Kemper thing. Maybe a comparison of the (oft maligned) internal effects v. some bread-and-butter stompboxes. Andertons, in the video Lee referred to at 24:09, established that the difference in core amp sound was, at most, negligible. The biggest pedal-related questions for me, then, are these: -Does a given profile react to pedals the same way as the profiled amp? -Are the internal effects good enough for most players to go "in-the-box" with their rig, at least for gigs where it's not ideal to carry a full pedalboard/amp rig? I know there's a ton of work that goes into your videos, and I love watching them! If a video covering such questions as I've asked above existed, I think I might just pee with excitement...
The difference in the core amps is definitely not negligible. I’m not sure what Lee and Rob were doing, what amps they were using and so on. But Dan and I have never heard a Kemper react or feel close to a high end amp in the room. Now, can it get close? Absolutely! Do they work brilliantly for recording and low volume situations where a loud valve amp is impractical? 100 per cent! Are they more satisfying to people who haven’t grown up playing really loud valve amps all the time? Without a shadow of a doubt. But do they sound and react like the amps they’re emulating? To me and Dan (and the vast majority of artists we come into contact with) they really, really don’t. Which means there still isn’t a question worth asking. For us, the moment you’re into 100 per cent AD/DA conversion something is gone whether that’s pedals or amps. Which is not to say that it’s worse.... just that we don’t like it as much as traditional amps and high quality analogue stompboxes. Yet. So, if people choose to make the switch based on the fact it’s cheaper, much more practical, keeps the sound engineer happy etc etc etc, that makes total sense. But if anyone actually thinks it sounds and feels better, then their tastes and opinions are a long way out of line with ours. Which is again not to say they’re wrong or it’s bad in any way whatsoever.... just that we don’t enjoy it and we don’t want to waste time doing stuff we don’t enjoy. All that said.... while digital amps are still a long way off for us, we are experimenting a bit more with attenuation and cabinet simulation. We started that journey at the end of last year - video coming soon - so that might be something we look at a bit more trough 2018. Were Lee and Chappers wrong? No! Are their tonal tastes and expectations very different from mine and Dan’s. It seems like it may be so! Cheers!
When I first loaded this video, I thought, "holy crap, 50 minutes?". At the end I was disappointed it wasn't significantly longer. Superb content. Could sit and watch you guys talk gear for hours!
"I'm so gay for John Mayer!" What a legendary comment. Respect! Laughing myself off the couch! Thanx, and have a great weekend, It really could'nt have statred any better!
I really enjoyed this - Lee has dominated the UA-cam market these last few years and clearly loves his guitars and gear. It was nice to get an insight into the market from a sales POV. I'd love for That Pedal Show to start interviewing pedal builders, From Small UK guys like Thorpy and Green Carrot, to industry legends like Jeorge Tripps etc
+Patrick Redford Hi Patrick, this is definitely something we'd like to do as we develop the channel. Er, watch this space (and the Kingsley episode). Cheers, and thanks for watching!
i met the captain,rabea and chappers three weeks ago in his store. he really is genuine and fun to talk to.he is very talented in what and how he does it. i assume mick and dan are as well. i really enjoy the content you create for us. thank you so much. by the way the captain's playing improved a lot since he started. by the way captn i can really recommend the new porsche panamera :-)
My two favourite channels getting together! Great show guys. It was cool to hear a bit of history from the captain. I'm always amazed at how polished he is when doing his shows and interviews. Absolute pro's!
I spend all day at work looking at a computer, I'm not going to come home and go 'I'm going to play some guitar but first I'm going to sit at another computer for twenty minutes'. Balls to Kemper!
Just finished watching this after work this week whist having a couple of beers . And it's like being down the pub with your friends. Awesome discussion guys. 👍
I agree with the Cap'n. TPS is a GREAT source of knowledge for effects, amps and their use and history. I recommend TPS to all the younger players i know. INCREDIBLE resource
Finally, I get to appear on my favourite UA-cam channel!! Cheers for having me Mick & Dan ;)
+CaptAnderton thank you SO much for coming in the show. A real honour :)
Yes!!! The Captain...the Genesis...of good guitar shows. lol.
I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSS
Great show fellas.
Oh...Alright, I'll keep telling myself that you just didnt have any vacancies left when I applied...sniff
This guy would make a great guitar shop owner.
I'm not so sure - sounds like an idiot to me ;)
sadly you are
+CaptAnderton and you're the Captain!
Nah, guy is a total wanker. Don't even know why they dragged him in...
+Adam Winkelmann lee is a great player

+ppjra yeah, we feel the same, why would I watch TV when I can watch Rabea Massard and Danish Pete :)
100% agree. I stopped watching television about 5 years ago. Now I absorb UA-cam videos every night.
@@jimijames6449 same! now youtube has been my sole video watching platform. i no longer care about scripted shows, all i want is people nerding out on stuff i love.
Chicken and waffles YEAH ;). And I got the horn. ;)... Love you guys. P
+Peter Honoré We love you more. :0)
+That Pedal Show more than chicken and waffles??? ;)
You make the world a better place to be, you big goof.
Chicken and waffles are pretty freakin' tasty... but they can't play the same tasty licks as you! haha.
Hahaha.. Thanks man. But try eating chicken and waffles whilst playing the licks.... Heaven :)...
16:35, that right there is why I love Dan's interviews. Always on the ball knowing when to let the other person speak when they want to say something. Stand out stuff!
+racerx3065 ah man, cheers Racer, appreciate it ;)
lol when my 3 yr old son saw the PDS icon pop up, he just said "yay! Mick and Dan!"
May want to cover his ears around the 13:50 mark... :P
#raisingemright
Greatest father ever.
He does like Mick and Dan as well as Mick and Danish Pete. His favorite are the latter.
you are raising him right! good job!
Stand out channel of the last 12 months... I'll second that. That Pedal Show makes my Friday. My week would be horrible without it.
I've been watching Rob and Lee for years and I must admit that it's them sitting in a room chatting shit, making nob/knob jokes and the over-the-top video editing that keeps me coming back haha.
*Throws pick*, *explosion sound*.
For a guy who has every possible thing at his disposal, its pretty humbling he has such a modest set up anyone could have. I dig the bloke
Man, I don't really know him, but Lee just seems to be such an overall top guy.
That was bloody fantastic, we see The Captain relaxed,not having to sell something it was refreshing thanks to Daniel and Mike
Captain, you talk about the new Anderton's TV format. You've knocked it out of the park, love Pete, Paul, Mick and Rabea. Watching the videos just for the lols has really opened my mind up to stuff I wouldn't normally pay attention to.
Please invite Pete Honore on the show.
Dan is right. The Miku pedal show is one of the most non-drunk laughing moment of the last years.
I laughed harder at the end of the Mick and Dan's vocoder episode. I laughed so hard that I felt high afterward.
That Miku episode: Utter genius. Never laughed out loud so much.
Earl Mobileh "now with squeelies in every key!"
So great to see 2 of my favourite channels together :D
I watch this and the related channels because my friends and family glaze over somewhere between hum and bucker.
I'm sure we all feel like a community, and the presenters are the glue. We all benefit from your friendly take on guitars and gear.
And you sell a ton of gear, just by initiating discussion and consideration. Thanks! 🤘🏻🎸
love Lee, totally love Lee
gay for Lee?
+Roo F dicks out for lee ??
So much love in the house!!
CaptAnderton the house of andertons! so much love for Lee, the bluesiest blues man south of.....basically everything in the UK
Lee might be gay for John Meyer, but I'm totally straight for the Captain lol
I LOVE THIS! I love that he gives Rob the love that he does! It's so great to see that these guys love each other outside of this screen! I'm watching in the middle of the United States and i feel like I could walk in to Anderson's, and walk right up to them and just be buds. What a blessing. Thanks!
The Captain is a class act. He and Chappers have been educating me and making me laugh for a while now.
The Captain and Dan and Mick -- it's an idea whose time has come. Great stuff fellas.
+adam872 so honoured to have the mighty Captain on the show :)
you guys are all FREAKING AMAZING !!!! I'm from Indiana U.S.A. There are a lot of fans here . That Pedal Show , and Andertons... AWESOME.
+Dan Young Thanks so much Dan. We are in the US as I type this! (Mick here)
awesome! awesome! awesome! It is truly the golden age of guitar tone artistry and communal discourse on achieving it couldn't get any better than this! Thank you so much That pedal show!
+Gladys Arnejo our pleasure ;)
Wow, nice! Love the Captain. He's so right. It's all about the chemistry. Keep up the great work.
+Daniel Roberts will do D ;)
What makes a good UA-cam channel is authenticity and that's what the Captain's channel and That Pedal Show have loads of.
+Steve Comeau cheers Steve ;)
Great job Lee. Such a natural in front pf the camera, typically understated. Made a welcome change from those crazy pedals thingies the boys keep playing with.
Yea, Captain on that Pedal show jamming out and having fun. great to see you guys hanging out together and friends.
It is SO like Top Gear! No truer words have been spoken on UA-cam! And thank you all for being such awesome human beings and guitar gear geeks!
Now that you've had the Captain on, it would delight me to no end if you could reach out to Justin Sandercoe, the greatest of all youtube teachers, who shares your passion and enthusiasm, and have him on your show. Since he's a teacher, you could talk about how beginners or students should use pedals or something like that. It would be great. He's also got a sweet new suhr he could bring along.
I completely diasagree
am i the only one that would rather meet and talk with the captain, than with rob?
No, because Rob is much more likely to play overly driven, hissy, descending lydian licks over your talking.
brutalbeetle /surprise!! SQUEELIE!!! /
I met him at andertons, he served me and brought me whatever guitar I asked for, stood in the demo room with me and had a chat, what you see on you tube is the man in the flesh, there's no difference, such a nice guy and so not worried about the fame. he is was he is and what you see is actually what he is, just a nice guy
It’s a good point Steve, and probably one of the reasons I watch Dan and Mick more than Anderson’s. Rob is fine in small doses, but Pete annoys me no end.
Garegh62 that’s what he’s saying. He’d rather meet Lee over Rob
I'm addicted to this channel! Cheers from Brazil!
+aschneider70 ah, cheers A ;)

It's interesting how guitar music has evolved to live in this realm of youtube. The new wave of British guitar heroes. I personally love it.

Rewatched the jam at the start of this. Great stuff. Loved the crossover. Seamless
The captain is awesome, i always love hearing his stories.
Best Chappers & the Captain video I've ever saw was the Ibanez rg with the korg electronics, the moment when Rob discovers the mic is the most hilarious thing in UA-cam
My two favorite guitar gear shows have joined forces! Rock on.
I could literally listen to the captain play for hours on end. so nice
The Top Gear analogy was perfect
Love the Captain, thank you Mick and Dan....That Pedal Show is on a par with the Andertons vids, absolute quality
+Greg Walton cheers Greg ;)
Very inspiring video, thanks to all who have been involved.
It's really nice to see the captain having a more serious conversation than what's normally on the andertons channel.

I haven't been this happy in forever. I'm so happy right now.
Worth watching even just for the opening 3-minute blues jam. Some tasty playing there guys!

But if anyone actually thinks it sounds and feels better, then their tastes and opinions are a long way out of line with ours. Which is again not to say they’re wrong or it’s bad in any way whatsoever.... just that we don’t enjoy it and we don’t want to waste time doing stuff we don’t enjoy.
All that said.... while digital amps are still a long way off for us, we are experimenting a bit more with attenuation and cabinet simulation. We started that journey at the end of last year - video coming soon - so that might be something we look at a bit more trough 2018.
Were Lee and Chappers wrong? No! Are their tonal tastes and expectations very different from mine and Dan’s. It seems like it may be so! Cheers!
When I first loaded this video, I thought, "holy crap, 50 minutes?". At the end I was disappointed it wasn't significantly longer. Superb content. Could sit and watch you guys talk gear for hours!
+Paul Endersby that's awesome, cheers Paul :)
"I'm so gay for John Mayer!" What a legendary comment. Respect! Laughing myself off the couch! Thanx, and have a great weekend, It really could'nt have statred any better!
You crazy cats. Lovely vid-the two best channels on t'tube. That is a mighty fine rug behind the Captain's bijou board.
My two best"youtube music gear channel" on one ! What a gift ! Love you guys
+Fantomas love you more ;)
I really enjoyed this - Lee has dominated the UA-cam market these last few years and clearly loves his guitars and gear. It was nice to get an insight into the market from a sales POV. I'd love for That Pedal Show to start interviewing pedal builders, From Small UK guys like Thorpy and Green Carrot, to industry legends like Jeorge Tripps etc
+Patrick Redford Hi Patrick, this is definitely something we'd like to do as we develop the channel. Er, watch this space (and the Kingsley episode). Cheers, and thanks for watching!
Agree with Lee, a great channel. I have learnt a lot plus great playing...👍👍
Yey. The presenters of my favourite UA-cam channels come together. More I say more!
+Martin Ireland cheers M :)
I hope to have a job one day that I could love as much as Lee loves his job! Chappers and the Captain are absolute legends!
i met the captain,rabea and chappers three weeks ago in his store. he really is genuine and fun to talk to.he is very talented in what and how he does it. i assume mick and dan are as well. i really enjoy the content you create for us. thank you so much. by the way the captain's playing improved a lot since he started. by the way captn i can really recommend the new porsche panamera :-)
just perfect. love all of you!
Glad to see the plim soul on the board and on the show. I love this pedal!
My two favourite channels getting together! Great show guys. It was cool to hear a bit of history from the captain. I'm always amazed at how polished he is when doing his shows and interviews. Absolute pro's!
+nathan Board cheers Nate ;)
Just re-watched the first 1 minute of the miku vid, thanks guys for making me cry (with laughter) at my desk again! xD
The humor is infectious on that one. I may watch it later today. I could use a chuckle.
Loved this show. To perfection just needed to have Rob too!
Think it's time for another blues lesson from the captain!! 😎🎸
Up there in my top 3 UA-cam guitar videos ever - great !
In case you guys don't know, Dan has a band, and it's very good. It's called Tin Spirits.
I'm not paid to say this :D
+Fancy FA ah, cheers Fancy ;)
Been wondering this, their sound is fantastic!
I spend all day at work looking at a computer, I'm not going to come home and go 'I'm going to play some guitar but first I'm going to sit at another computer for twenty minutes'. Balls to Kemper!
Lee Anderton and Rob Chapman: legends among us.
Great to see the Captain as a guest!
You couldn’t be more right about the chemistry. It’s the basis for great bands and so many UA-cam channels.
Just finished watching this after work this week whist having a couple of beers . And it's like being down the pub with your friends. Awesome discussion guys. 👍
+liam421 cheers Liam, we were so happy to have him on the show ;)
Very nice interview style, Dan. Lee comes over as a warm and friendly guy, just like you and Mick.
+cliffwhite2812 cheers Clff, Lee's the best ;)
That was a fun show guys. Gotta have the Capt on again. The Captain and Chappers would be great.
I agree with the Cap'n. TPS is a GREAT source of knowledge for effects, amps and their use and history. I recommend TPS to all the younger players i know. INCREDIBLE resource
+Alan McDonald ah, cheers Alan :)
Keep it up guys! Daniel and Mick are funny and killer players!
Magic show guys thanks
THATS THE BEST JAM IVE EVER SEEN THE CAPTAIN IN JESUS!
OMG my fantasy came true! Captain, Mick and Dan!! The magic trio! If only Chappers could make it... :D
Fantastic choice of guest! Great show. Love to see one day a episode with Analog Mike!
+Ryan Clark that'd be awesome!
Captain Lee is such an entertaining conversationalist. Loved this episode.
Y'all never let me down. Love the show as always.
