TPS is the best thing on UA-cam.
@sbjkd Yep, always within arm's reach!
On the Afterneath, the "drag" control works a bit like a time control on most delay pedals, in that it will change the pitch of the reverb signal as you turn it. The different modes allow you to quantize the pitches that the drag control will take the signal through. You can clearly hear the pitch going through semitones when Mick has it in chromatic mode. The other modes give different pitches. Volt per octave is a standard used for controlling synthesizers. Basically the volt per octave mode allows you to send a signal out of a synth or a sequencing device to control your pedal. You can also use an expression pedal to shift through the pitches while you play.
To summarize, the modes control the way that the drag control works, whether you change the drag by turning the knob or with an expression pedal.
And in fact Earthquaker developed the Eurorack version of this the same time they were working on the V3 pedal.
@@mgscheue Yep, the modes selector is more of a 'synth brain' type of feature
Hi guys, Irwin from Italy here. My daily lockdown routine includes 2 hours a day playing guitar, 2 hours cooking, 1 hour watching TPS. Well if I quit TPS I could be a better guitarist or a better chef but your show is amazing! Well done!
Guys, thank you so much for the video. I'm happy to hear that you like the Firesound V3 overdrive
Best Regards,
Note Firesound v3 uses mosfet differential input opamp which gives smooth sound and even driven by a high level effect before the Firesound, the tone is still transparent!
Niki
Ok boyoze after a morning of listening to Khruagbin I am ready for some pedal jayyyammmmmzzzzz.
Red and Blue right where they belong - makes me smile
Great show guys. The fun with the Afterneath V3 begins when you add an expression pedal to sweep through the scales - check it out
Ah, that’s what we should have done. Never put me in charge of these things. I have literally no idea what they’re for or how to use them. Even after an hour of reading the manual! Mick here, obvs. Hope you’re doing okay Michael!
@@ThatPedalShow Hanging in there - you as well.. No worries - the exp pedal thing is cool but you could actually hear the difference and potential as you turned the knob. If you want to hear the Afterneath at its best, I recommend the latest Messthetics record. Anthony Pirog is a reverb master (and a guitar genius in general). Missed you guys at NAMM , but all you missed was additional hearing loss ;-)
Agreed. I have an earlier Afterneath. I love the pedal, but wish it had an expression pedal input to control the drag. Adding multiple modes for drag makes the v3 even cooler than that! I may eventually have to upgrade.
Dan's reverb trails at the start were gorgeous
Hope you are both well - thanks for keeping em coming
That APE would be perfect for my Rubbernecker analog delay. Solves some buffer problems with the Rbernecker as well. And the Rbernecker has an effects loop of it's own. Blows my mind how much better it makes that digi delay.. wow.
Modulating reverb pedals are some of the most creatively inspiring tools you can have for practicing. I grabbed an Afterneath last year and quickly found that it can force you to be more articulate in your picking dynamics. It's really fun to get lost in that particular rabbit hole, especially with a little tremolo and overdrive.
Thanks guys for always making me smile!! Love this show!!
Dan's riffing from 20:40 is sooo interesting! Can hear those jazz lessons coming through beautifully.
Afterneath: You won’t hear that much, until you turn the drag knob while playing 😉 Or better use an expression in the different modes!
Thank you guys so much...I’m building a board as we speak with some new pedals I saw here and there !!!But you guys make it so much fun...
Fuzz is all ya need !!!
Love it! Earthquaker has not gotten NEARLY enough love from your show - they are my favorite manufacturer by far! That new Afterneath is making me want to upgrade my V1, but it's a tough one to demo. I think the modes are most relevant while twisting the Drag knob (also EXP pedal). Excited to hear more EQD from you guys!
Yes! You knew we needed a pedal jam Dan and Mick! Cheers!! 🙏😊
Happy Birthday Mick! I'm 46 too. I noticed my favorite artists are the same age as us. Says a lot about our generation!
Ha! I think Taylor Swift is younger than us. But Doyle Bramhall II isn’t. That’s balance.
So happy to see you guys - helping with the sanity right now :)
Good show! That APE pedal is so cool! I had a blast playing along at the end here at the home office. Some harmonic tremolo worked nicely as a background rhythm.
Mick has to be the youngest looking 46 year old on the planet 😮 I did not expect that at all. Happy (very) belated birthday mate!
Ah man, thanks so much. No kids and not having a proper job for 25 years is what does it I think. Although, the camera is a long way away. Check the vlog tomorrow. Close up. Old. But not moaning!
Happy belated birthday, Mick! That age t-shirt makes sure you’re getting a new one every year. Congrats!
Guys... Thank you so much.
Your show is getting me through lockdown. I've been at home alone for 22 days now and it will continue I'm sure (for the greater good obviously)... I decided to make a routine to stop me going nuts, which includes exercise, meal times, daily projects etc... I've been watching one of your shows now every evening before heading to bed and it's really great to see some light hearted, informative and entertaining guitar content to end each day. In a world of uncertainty, I go to sleep happy...
Keep it up. Best wishes.
Ah, you’re so welcome Shaky. We’re thinking of you matey, sending all love and good vibes your way.
I love all the harmonic character on tap from the Firesound - especially, gulp, from Mick's PRS. Color me impressed!
The opening playing was beautiful.
Been using the EQD Underneath V2 for several months and it’s a killer pedal that I continue to explore. I’m certain that I’m not alone but TPS is the ultimate GAS channel. Luv u guys!
Ayyyy great to see another valentino rossi fan! He was my hero growing up and i was lucky enough to meet him when i was 10 and it was the best day of my life up to that point
Love the Colorcorrection settings in this video :) And as usual great content
Keep going
Sweet, sweet Buckleytastic intro. Lovely Dan.
Even after the social distancing message in the intro, I thought to myself: "WAIT, WHAT? Is it his birthday AGAIN??" a glimpse of confusion followed by a good laugh! Happy b-day again, Mick!
You guys are awesome. Thank you for all of these helpful and informative videos.
Thank you Carl!
That J Rockett APE is so clever! I can think of a million different effects to try in that loop!
I did a similar thing with Ep-3 preamp sometime ago, made preamp, added fx loop along with other features, and man, El Cap sounds amazing with it.
The Ape sounded fantastic, transformative. The distortion box sounded pretty cool but seems you’d need to spend time tweaking it for each guitar. The afterneath is like an orchestra, very inspiring if you’re in the mood to play just a little
And as a fellow just turned 46er it is a really cool t. Well done Kathryn.
Guys I would LOVE to see a big episode of a rig run down of all you gear maybe one show about micks and the on Dan. I think that would generate a tone views as my friends have been wanting to see that for ever. I know you have don’t some individual items but just to see the all the pedals in gear would be so fun:)
My two EQD pedals are the harmonic trem and an equalizer pedal. Both are amazing! When you make pedals by Akron Ohio moonlight, magical things happen!
Thankyou for the short announcements at the start of these vids. It's a strange time I'm glad you're being real about it.
Oh my god, I turned 23 the other week and I feel bloody old. God bless you Mick.
If it’s any consolation there comes a point where you basically have to stop caring. :0)
I've seen this 46 t-shirt speak before! But the pedals are new! My eyes were locked at Afterneath the whole time Dan played APE, I tried to make sense of the blinking red between the blue light.
Loved the preamp in the APE and those Ethereal Pads coming from the Afterneath = thick, lush, gorgeous. Earthquaker should just do a full-on: Pad-Pedal? Thanks for the much needed diversion. Stay Safe guys.
Beautiful harmonic intro lads. Getting all ethereal Dan after hanging with Rabea
The APE is a bit like Dan’s jury-rigged tape delay. I might be mistaken about how it works exactly but it seems you could add modulation, gain and filter pedals to the APE’s loop to raise the stakes on the analog-ness.
This was amazing. Some Davy-G-ish sounds as well from a tele! Well, from Red. I’d love to see a show with Nikolay Karageorgiev. Even a distant show.
literally everything you guys play sounds awesome. i'm not entirely certain how you pick what stays standard on your boards.
APE such a great idea.
I thought that Firesound sounded absolutely KILLER man.
I hope Earthquaker send you their 'The Depths' pedal. It my favourite Univibe pedal. Sounds fantastic. Great show as always. Thanks guys.
APE is cool! For awhile I’ve approximated a “budget APE” by putting a Boss DS-1 after the wet-only output of a Behringer VD400 (Boss DM-3 clone). Recently trying a Boss VB-2 clone after the DS-1, using vibrato for maybe even more tape-ish (wow & flutter) style. Takes some tweaking, but I find more than one sound that I enjoy. Pedal Crush book has me wanting to similarly experiment almost too much! 🙂
Summoning the power of the Afterneath--I travel back in time to when the world was normal!
And Mick’s still in his birthday suit....so yes defo pre lockdown. 😉
ME at 5:20 : Wow, those are some of the nicest Strat tones I've heard in a while....
Mick at 5:40 : I'm already hearing this is going to suit humbuckers better.... To each ear it's own! Cheers from Canada... Stay Safe, boys.
Ha, too true Gary! I didn’t sound better in the recording. Just wasn’t feeling it in the room. Weird huh!
Man, awesome line-up today! All three get ratings of 5 Star Kickass for the forthcoming "Joe Bob's Book of Tone and Innovation." Nice choices. Stay well fellas, you two are considered essential to the well belong of some 200,000 subscribers. Cheers, and thanks.
such good jams
The visible confusion on both their faces during the Afterneath segment was priceless.
It’s a fair comment. We try. But I genuinely don’t get it and Dan isn’t interested. Hard to know where to go from there!
@@ThatPedalShow Fair enough. The effort you guys put in is obvious, so no slight there. Just made me smile to see you both racking your brains over it. Love your stuff and hope you're both staying safe!
I have the Afterneath v1 and it's a great pedal!
Happy birthday mick and thank you fellas I hope you guys and yer family stay well .and great reviews as usual I would love if you two could perhaps have a look at the boss 200 line up and throw in the rv 500 in the mis.
The APE sounds incredible. Better than most of the tape sim things I've heard. Unfortunately my old DD-3 just died.
WOW was that playing at the beginning excellent and the afterneath sheeeyit
Dan, KILLER opening jam there man! That APE is a really clever and great sounding thing. Really amazing what it did to the D1. So much more unique and useful than the Afterneath. I think I have played with at least 8 or 9 Earthquaker Pedals and haven't bought one yet. I guess I just don't find those kinds of sounds useful to me.
Me thinks my Strymon Deco & the J Rockett APE are gonna be a heavenly match :)
Nice one Dan.
i like the use of "the captain lick" at 44:18 i can feel his eyes rolling from the USA
I didn’t even know I’d played it!
Happy Birthday Mick!
Cosmic!
I dare say. Earthquaker as a brand has an almost split personality.
On one side. The massive ambient pedals and modulations
On the other. FUZZ!!!!
Hope you guys got some of the fuzzes to try. Shame the Terminal isn’t in production any more. Modern Shin ei companion fuzz. Yes please
the square wave fuzz in the data corrupter is one of the coolest fuzzes I have played with in a while, they make awesome stuff
I agree. Both them and Walrus are....... how do you say it........ conceptually adventurous. In spite of the current state of music, we're lucky to have so many directions to take our playing.
Fell asleep at the start of the video. For all the best reasons. 🎸
Cheers chaps, interesting and distinctive set of pedals there. The possibilities you get to build your own 'character' delays using the APE with a simple DDL are pretty awesome. Harmonic trem and a smidge of mid boost OD in the loop with the delay perhaps? Be nice if your effects switching device of choice could put effects either in the main signal path or the APE loop. Not sure if this is possible, also it's making my brain hurt thinking about it which suggests it's non trivial. Probably just pie in the sky .... mmm .... pie .....apple pie .... with ice cream ..... yum. :)
Hah! I've taken to watching old "Have Gun Will Travel" episodes and Dan's tone there at the beginning sounds like it would fit right in ;)
Nikolay can really rip it up, great player...he does post bits on UA-cam...not enough! :) TG
On yesterday's Q&A you were asked about 'showing us some of your licks ' a good example is when you first played the "Firesound" from 5:20 in.
The APE drove me bananas!
Rebea needs an Afterneath V3. He could kill with it
P.S. That closing backing track reminds me of a slowed down version of Dennis Coffey's Black Belt Jones. Check out his live version
N- audio Firesound V3 great od - boost pedal i love mine🥰🇧🇬
Whatever amp combination your using. Dan’s guitar sounds perfect.
On the Afterneath the modes are how the drag knob jumps whether it's up a scale of just unquantized audio. The drag knob which can be controlled through Control Voltage (Modular synths hence all the talk of oscillators in mode 2) or an expression pedal
Bingo! They launched a 500 series version of the Afterneath recently too, which ties in the addtions of CV and the oscillator mode. Tuning those delay lines allows for some crazy harmonised options - being able to jump from the root to a 5th to an octave for example, but only in the reverb trails.
@@andy_watt and no joke the exact same time this was posted I got a notification about the Eurorack Afterneath from Earthquaker haha
Fraser Lundie haha! Just goes to show - all roads lead back to ethereal, ambient reverb.
Afterneath. I pulled the trigger. Lots to explore there.
Vale!!!!!
Mick, I've been adding the numbers of my age together for a while now. Turned 44 in Feb. I'm officially 8. ;)
Oh, nice!
..checks video length... 44 minutes, awesome, None of this 30 minutes nonsense. :) Also I like the sneaky Captains Riff from Dan at the 9 minute mark. Danish Pete will be happy.
What would happen if one would put a vibrato in the loop of the APE? Driven chorus? What happens if my delay feedback is higher than one repeat? What if put reverse delay? What if I don’t kill dry?
Let’s be absolutely clear here folks, even with an ACTUAL APE in this episode there was waaaaayyyyyyy more monkeying around in last nights VCQs. 😉
Haha!
I wish the ape had stereo i/o. Something about a analog preamp soothes the soul.
That was odd. I could hear the Afterneath subtleties (like Fraser) all the way through the Internet and into my Sennheiser's............ I do hope that Earthquaker send to you guys the "Plumes" pedal - I'm quite enamoured of it. Best, Pete. (loved the APE btw). Best, Pete.
Mick and Dan - Could you guys please do an Octavia shootout? Would love to see the Red Beard Honey Badger, Kingtone Octaland, etc. I’m finding a surprisingly short list of good content around this particular effect featuring high quality audio, good planning and boutique pedals.
Great episode. Been jonesing for an Afterneath ever since I heard V.1. But the APE really caught my attention.
You mentioned delay with no analog dry-through set 100% wet with the APE - would the APE be of any help in a wet/dry situation, where analog-dry through is an issue? (as in your recent episode on W/D and the problems associated with pedals that don't have analog dry-through). It may be an impossible task, but I'm trying to think of a way to use my Source Audio Delay (and, hopefully, Tremolo) in a Wet/Dry rig. If not, I think I'll have to set up a board just for W/D with delays, etc that do have analog dry-through
...which would be a good excuse to use as many pedals as possible on 3 separate boards...hmm.
Yeah, absolutely. Think it would be killer in that environments..... as long as you don’t mind what the preamp is doing to the tone. Otherwise, Wetter Box by TheGigRig.....
The APE rocks!!!!
Mick we know you have a big black clock. Really we do. Why do you have to keep whipping it out to flaunt it. It makes my little white clock jealous. My little white clock will never be as big and glorious as your big black clock. Love you guys. Keep your heads up. Cheers!
If you go find the rig rundown with Eric Johnson he shows how he had his original EP3 modded to work exactly like the APE! Delay pedal in a loop inside it. Pretty neat.
You are correct, I had a long chat with Eric about how Bill Fulton modded his tape delay for that purpose. He uses a Deluxe Memory Man looped into his Echoplex. No more tape hassles
A bit of insight on the Afterneath v3: EQD Released a version of the Afterneath as a Modular Synthesizer, and every parameter was able to be controlled through other LFO modules. The 1V Octave thing is referring to that, which would probably be heard more clearly while using an expression pedal because it would simulate the Control Voltage on a synth.
I have had the Afterneath V2 for a few years and it is never left my board.
Does your Afterneath V2 make a volume drop aswell? i've had it on the board for a few months but swapped it for a Nux Tape Core now^^
@@zwidawurzn9423 yeah it does drop a bit, but I always have it on so it's not really a problem for me
If you jumped the loop out in the ape i wonder if you could get more overdrive with the saturation
Honestly, if I had a clock that size, I'd be showing it to EVERYONE on the internet.
Would love to see your comparison of Harmonic tremolo pedals, digital vs analog, including Earthquaker's Night Wire harmonic tremolo pedal.
Hope everyone here is well! What odd times we live in. As long as we all still have our health, our loved ones, human decency, food/water and a guitar to play we'll get through this. Listen to your local government and stay safe people! Remember, if you stay home you have an excuse to play the guitar all the time.
I would like to hear the APE compared to the Dunlop Echoplex Pre pedal - which I'd always thought was a minimal change at the cost of another pedal in the chain. Of course, a switcher limits that negative effect.
9.02. The Captains riff. Someone tell Pete.
TJ&JM Brooks Hahahaha pretty sure your right on this
Paul Illingworth Pete and Mick just liked my comment on Insta so yeah they are cheeky boiz.
TJ&JM Brooks haha thats awesome
Dan, starting at 40 minutes...just wow.
I would be interested in your view on the J Rockett when compared with the Strymon DECO. Not a lot to be found on the DECO (you guys reviewed it going back four years), but it seems with all the discussion now on tape effects you might revisit it. Am I getting ahead of myself?
That is indeed a massive clock
Really want to see you boys get hold of the origin effects revivaltrem
I love mine. Best trem I own. Replaced a drive pedal of the board too.
Pedals get their personalities by the range of possibilities they offer. Some aim to do just one thing very well, others leave more choices with the user. EQD tends toward the latter. I think tc electronic gets it right with useful variety on the pedal but much more scope via the app.
