My dad made my first amp from our old 50's Gramophone stereo after he seen me struggle to play his old acoustic . When I heard Aqualung i wanted that tone, this was the early seventies, he took that old player apart and made me this simple amp with a volume and tone and the old preamp tubes that were in the player., it probably sounded gnarly and spikey but to a 16 year old kid in 1974 it made me believe I could get there. Thank you Dad and thank you Tim for reminding me why I started playing :)
Wow! So fluid! I know I always say that, however I have been blessed with king with some of the best players in the world and I have to tell you that Tim is the most fluid player there is! His musicality is unrivalled!
Tim in the '70s I used: Les Paul Deluxe (mini-humbuckers) > Echoplex > LPB-1 > Fender Princeton Reverb w/ treble under 4 and volume at 4 - 4.5. I could get bright, clean tones with guitar volume at 6, then opening the guitar up to 10 the overdrive would come in without too much increase in volume; I guess due to the amp's natural compression...??
Just last night I was all happy with using my volume pedal in front of my OD to control my gain structure... Then Tim Pierce confirmed my suspicions. Volume pedals!
I do this all the time. I had a volume pedal that allowed me to set the minimum volume. I used to set my amp so when this was all the way down I had my clean sound. I now have a Visual Sound Visual Volume, which had LED indicators to show where your pedal is in its travel. I set my dirty sound so it cleans up at a certain point, so I know by which LED is lit that I am consistently getting the same sound. If I'm using it in active mode, I can also configure the pedal to give a gain boost to the signal.
Bravo This stuff is essential and as important as harmonic and melodic vocabulary How to pick softly and precise Not having had Tim's talent I've worked on it for 25 years and still do
Tim this is great wisdom. One of my all time favorite clean tones is an old Marshall non-master volume JMP turned up, with a Les Paul played with a feather light touch. The first time I tried this was a revelation. I could control dynamics and dirt entirely with my fingers, like an extension of my body. Headroom for days!
I gotta tell ya that this trick works 100% I lowered my volume about 25% on my Ernie ball volume pedal and the tone is simply fantastic, plenty of fat “clean” harmonic richness and a high end that’s non-shrill at all. But Tim’s right you have to play a bit softer and make use of good pick dynamics to pull this off. But this is an awesome tool for really abrasive and unruly overdrive tones.. thanks Tim
Great vid! Too many people sleep on the volume pedal. I always perferred a simple single amp setup so figured out that a volume pedal could help me get a clean and distorted sound in addition to some cool sounds in between. It's like having a two channel amp. Once you get good at working the pedal everyone things you have more amps that you do.
The joyful expression and insane amount of fun you have going from "fat and clean" to "trashy and dirty" around the 3-minute mark is contagiously outrageous!
Been playing guitar for 21 years, there is so much good, fresh information in this that I have to re-watch a few times to absorb it all. Amazing. Thank you Tim for sharing your expertise with us pions!
Tim I just like to say: thank you. Every time I hear and watch you... it impulses me to study more.. and even more...and to be HAPPY at the first of all things! With my music and my so bad pentatonics! :D Cheers! Long live rock and roll! And Tim Pierce! ;D
"Always on" pedals do great things. Andy Timmons uses a Blues Driver for his "cleaner-ish" tone with the volume backed off. It does something with the capacitance and inductance from the guitar cable as I understand it. Puts the full spectrum back in. Great video Tim. You are such an open, honest guy. Thank you.
Mr. Tim Pierce,,,, you are just one happy guy whenever you play those guitars and present your playing tips for all of us out here ! Your enjoyment of the instrument is so evident and joyful !! Keep Smiling !!! I feel the same way when I pick up my guitars too ! Sez Art Reno
Great video...saw the controversial Mr Scott Grove speak on this very subject many years back...a big proponent of the volume pedal. His take on it was why adjust your volume pot on your guitar when you have the perfect sound?...just use the pedal and don't lose your initial settings. Great video, as always...
You convinced me to hook up a volume pedal I had for a few years and never used. Turning down my guitar’s volume doesn’t work as well, just as you said. Thanks for the tip! Regarding picks, I use the less pointy purple Tortex pick. For light strumming I just strum lightly.
The tone from the P-90s when it was cranked (without the distortion pedal)was pretty close to the tone Townsend got from his P-90s on 'Live at Leeds'. Classic.
Hi! This is really great. I just want to add an important issue. You have to know if your volume pedal contains a buffer, and also if your overdrives sounds best with or without a buffer. This make a profound difference for some pedals. Use f.ex a Lehle yellow looper and put in and out a buffer before your pedals, you might be surprized.
Long time ago I heard Jimmy Page talking about that “sweet spot” on his amp where he could get a clean tone with his guitar volume on low, and then a big, bright distorted sound when turned all the way up. This reminds me of that very much. Great minds think alike.
for decades, I have used the MORELY POWER WAH VOLUME. The preamp provides the right amount of boost and compression, the optical (photo resister) based increase/decrease provides quiet volume control, leaving your guitar pot settings where they function best. No, I don't haul it around for the wah-wah-wah-wah-wah... 😉 Also, as Tim mentioned, it can be inserted ahead of almost ANY amp and greatly improve your tone/volume results
Great advice. Tim has a really engaging way of getting a point across. I agree re: the volume pedal versus guitar volume control. It's just a matter of preference, certainly, but I think the volume pedal approach does sound fuller, plus it leaves both hands free. Win.
Fantastic information !!! Thanks Tim, I like many other guitar players have been chasing guitar tone all my guitar playing life and at times I think I have accidently set my amp, guitar and pedal to do this but never understood why it was happening , therefore , I couldn't get the same type dynamics the next gig, this is a Huge revelation for me. Thanks a=gain , no pun intended !!! Well , maybe it was ....
Tim I totally agree with your approach to the volume pedal and overdrive. In a worship team setting I had to make a choice on how to use my volume control pedal where I may want to control an already overdriven or distorted tone as swell device. This meant putting my overdrives in front of the volume pedal.
You’re choking the Input with the volume pedal vs choking the volume from the pickups. So you’re not losing any of the fullness from the pickups at full volumes. Cool trick when you want to roll off some volume and clean it up but keep the body of the tone. Cool.
Great video and excellent advice! Still I have to mention, that is the quietest P-90 I've ever heard! How did you do that sitting in front of a computer and all that gear around you???
I used to play classical guitar so when I started picking, the feeling of an upstroke was very familiar on my index. So I started holding my fingers as if I had a pick in my hand, but with my index sticking out so my nail (from classical) is like the pick. It makes it so my playing is easier to be softer. I can then crank the amp and it gives me a nice phat tone.
I recall having being very unsatisfied with the purely clean sound from my amp. It felt kind of dead and thin. Then i fiddled around with it and tried picking lightly while turning up the gain on the amp, got a much more satisfying clean tone. Can't believe an absolute amateur like me would discover a trick that a pro like TIm would use!
Thanks, Tim! I tried myself yesterday and my tone became much better! Maybe the tone difference between the volume pedal and volume knob is due to the treble bleed circuit?
I feel vindicated! Thank you, Mr. Pierce! My overall favorite approach has been using the overdrive/distortion channel of a cranked channel-switching type tube-amp, JUST that channel, and varying from clean to mean to scream (and, with an octave-fuzz pedal or the like, to "Beam me up, Scotty"), just with my guitars volume-controls and/or a volume-pedal and my fingerstyle "touch", never switching channels. Part of my goal was to always feel as if my fingers were directly touching and working the paper of the speaker-cone. This way, I got a thicker, fuller, bolder "clean tone", that really was actually clean, but not just a clone of classic "blackface" Fender clean-tones; and yet, my overdrive, fills and lead tones were always immediately available. I'd occasionally use the "clean/rhythm" channel for 'character' tones, such as a vintage-y fuzz into a clean "blackface"/"silverface" or "tweed" amp; but even with fuzz, I'd most often use that overdrive channel and my volume and "touch".
Thanks Tim you got many ways! I like my little tube amps that I've collected. For those on a budget I suggest a Vox AC4/AC4 TV. They're simple single channel amps, use a volume pedal and LBP boost pedal to push them over the top.🎸
Another way to a fat-tone, with single coil or P90 pickups, simply use the AMP side of Tim's OD pedal. When using only the AMP side of the pedal, it fattens the tone without adding a lot of volume. Only when you use it in combination with the OD side of the pedal does it give you a big volume boost. I had to laugh when Tim mentioned he simply uses it turned up all the way. It is such a versatile pedal. Always on for me. Great vid Tim.
The guy is a wealth of otherwise unattainable info, a phd of what actually works, he is writing the book of how it’s done well, with literally thousands of songs tracked and many of them iconic songs that will live forever! Anytime you can learn from primarily a technician in this case an undeniable master, who enjoys teaching it’s worth 100 times the info gleaned from primarily teachers who also play for a living, in my humble opinion and experience. Not to discredit teachers but there’s a reason Tim is where and who he is. Thank you for the humility and transparency into how you do and get the sounds you do Tim!
Regarding differences in volume pedal vs. volume pot on guitar - do you have a treble bleed in your guitar? It would make the high frequencies disappear later when you turn down volume (or appear sooner when turning up). If your volume pedal is passive, then it is literally the same pot, and only that, as in your guitar, so the difference would only be whether you have treble bleed in your guitar. Anyway, thanks for your videos, they're amazing! I discovered your channel just a couple of weeks ago.
So, Tim, where does this methodology sit in relation to classic Fender Strats - which, as you know, are a different animal entirely? Hope to get to USA again one day (in the industry) and shake your hand if I ever bump into you. You have changed my playing approach/thinking completely. Thank you!
What’s the best way to set up your amp for clean tones with rhythmic delay and reverb ? I do notice playing softer does help along with progressive palm muting the strings which helps more then anything , but if I was to open up the pickups without using palm mute techniques while using the rhythmic delays how would I set my amp up ? I notice gain helps compress the signal , but it also sorta blends in to much with the delay so I’m always trying to learn and you seem to know what your doing pretty well . Thanks 🙏
The difference in tone between the guitar volume knob and the pedal probably comes down to the Gibson four knob style wiring... when you back of the guitar volume with that wiring... the treble rolls off slightly. Good chance the volume pedal doesn't have that phenomenon. Short version... they're both volume controls with different effects on frequency response.
See if you can get the Mr. Scary tone, or the Crazy Train. Animal I Have Become, Sound of Madness. I would love to hear Tim break out his metal riffs. Set those curtains on fire.
My dad made my first amp from our old 50's Gramophone stereo after he seen me struggle to play his old acoustic .

Tim THE best !!
Produce Like A Pro no doubt, he really shares some incredible insights!
This guy Tim Pierce is a wizard. an absolute wizard.
His wisdom will save you time,frustration and $$$$$$

The master speaks, I listen and learn.
I have the utmost respect and love for Tim. His class of musician is dying a horrible death....class act!!
Tim just gets it. On every level. A guitarists guitarist! Knowledge for days and days.
Bravo

You're the most informative teacher online. My playing improved so much thanks to your advice. Thanks Tim.
The joyful expression and insane amount of fun you have going from "fat and clean" to "trashy and dirty" around the 3-minute mark is contagiously outrageous!
So much great information! Never thought of controlling gain with a volume pedal, thank you Tim! You're the best!
This is one of the best lessons on this site. Hands down. Changed my entire perspective on sound coming from a guitar
Been playing guitar for 21 years, there is so much good, fresh information in this that I have to re-watch a few times to absorb it all. Amazing. Thank you Tim for sharing your expertise with us pions!

I never realized the difference between a volume pot on the guitar against the volume pedal... going to try now on my rig. Thank you for this Tim :)
That is a very nice guitar... with very cool sounding P-90s!

Totally agree with the pick hand control. It's something i haven't mastered yet, but I'll catch myself in the zone with it after a good warmup.
Tim thank u so so much..i am 68..really appreciate your channel....more on sound ..❤🇺🇸
hi Tim, great advises for all guitarists , for sure. But the point is you do that with kindness and great enjoying !

Hi Tim! Thank you very much for shearing your wisdom with us all!I wonder if this can be a valid approach for an acoustic guitar? Thank you very much!

In a worship team setting I had to make a choice on how to use my volume control pedal where I may want to control an already overdriven or distorted tone as swell device. This meant putting my overdrives in front of the volume pedal.
Absolutely brilliant ideas and instruction, thank you.
great vid that highlights the nuances of great playing and how it relates to great gear set-up...

Really interesting and useful thank you Tim. I presume this goes right at the end of your chain!
Great tip! Ty Tim!!
What a great video! Thank you:)

I like my little tube amps that I've collected.
For those on a budget I suggest a Vox AC4/AC4 TV.
They're simple single channel amps, use a volume pedal and LBP boost pedal to push them over the top.🎸
Doc Tiberius I agree, I had a AC4tv. I wish I still had it, great amp.

This guys gonna be a guitar Virtuoso at 90 years old. Tim seems to always be learning new things.
That's a sick guitar. I am in love with it.

Great stuff! Wow how many Nobels Overdrive pedals do you have??
A master of tone. You so nail it!
I've been playing guitar for a 100 years and I have just recognized that squishy sound now I am addicted
You’re the man Tim love your advice thanks for this video 👍
Hi Tim, thanks for the great video! I see your Kemper's turned on over there. What are you liking to use it for?
So, Tim, where does this methodology sit in relation to classic Fender Strats - which, as you know, are a different animal entirely?
Hope to get to USA again one day (in the industry) and shake your hand if I ever bump into you. You have changed my playing approach/thinking completely. Thank you!
Excellent video, always enjoyable. Would you recommend a passive or active volume Pedal? Thank you.
Tim !! You are Incredible !!
So, it will be like:
Guitar -> Volumen Pedal -> Over -> Amp ?
& wich volumen pedal should I buy? I loved the idea! :D:D
Thank you Tim!
Great tips, much appreciated!!!
Thanks again for the voice of experience.
This is really excellent, Tim, thanks! Question: Where is your pedal in the signal chain? In the very beginning? Just before the delay? At the end?
thormusique It's at the end, last before the amp. He answered this on another post.
What’s the best way to set up your amp for clean tones with rhythmic delay and reverb ? I do notice playing softer does help along with progressive palm muting the strings which helps more then anything , but if I was to open up the pickups without using palm mute techniques while using the rhythmic delays how would I set my amp up ?

Awesome video Tim! What type of volume pedal are you using?
the volume pedal is also nice, in the case that you step on the cable, or any mishap along those lines.
The difference in tone between the guitar volume knob and the pedal probably comes down to the Gibson four knob style wiring... when you back of the guitar volume with that wiring... the treble rolls off slightly.
Good chance the volume pedal doesn't have that phenomenon.
Short version... they're both volume controls with different effects on frequency response.
Really great lessons for an intermediate player like me...
thx for all the tiny secrets, really worth watching. i like the clearance of that sound, what pickups do you have on that 🎸??
Nice cockpit captain. Can you please tell what volumepedal nr brand type ? Thanks
See if you can get the Mr. Scary tone, or the Crazy Train. Animal I Have Become, Sound of Madness. I would love to hear Tim break out his metal riffs. Set those curtains on fire.
Great video, thanks so much. I'm hearing reverb or delay on the recording. Are you using any other effects in the post mix?
Thanks Tim Very informative! New band name: "Attack of the Butterflies".
Oh and I use P-90's hahaha tha'ts how I really get a PHAT tone P-90's!!
Pretty cool. How do you swing it with a wah pedal? Sitting I'm guessing
