Apparently, this came out a year ago. I’m glad I’m seeing it now. I wouldn’t have appreciated this interview then, the way I do today. These are my absolute favorite UA-cam people from my two favorite UA-cam channels! This is pretty awesome, Thank you for making this happen!
I love how when Rick speaks the decibel volume meter in the back spikes up to the 600s, but when the pedal guys are speaking it's in the low 500s. That New York italian in full force!
Youre missing the decimal point lol if they were speaking at 500/600 db that would be exceeding the volume of a nuclear bomb haha That said i have no doubt Rick is much louder though, being a new yorker myself
Rick I have been watching you religiously for a year now and love what you are doing!!! I am the only woman owned record shop in Michigan and have done so 15 years now and music is so so important . Because of you I’ve picked my guitar back up and so glad I did!! Keep it up and keep spreading the word , without music I do not know where I would be. I brought in some Polyphia LPs in last week and was overjoyed when a kid came in and bought them yesterday. If your ever in Michigan please come by The Record lounge!!!!
Watching Dan and Mick taught me everything I needed to know about guitars and guitar gear. I studied their teachings for about two years and spent $15,000, and went from knowing almost nothing to knowing something.
I absolutely adore That Pedal Show. I actually ended up picking up a guitar and learning to play because I was so interested in gear and what they talked about on their show. I come from the world of computer enthusiasts so guitar gear was a clear transition point into a new hobby for me. Their channel is such a fantastic resource to identify what it is that YOU want to sound like and what will help get you there.
These guys are professionals and love what they do. And I (we) thank them for that. It makes us mere mortal guitar players feel a part of a greater community. We also feel like we are able to talk/communicate with the greats of our hobby/profession. This keeps me playing more and more because I feel part of a movement. Left to my own vices, I would probably give up playing guitar. But these guys and so many more inspire me to continue. Love all these guys!
You and Mick and Dan are REAL!!! I can only echo the best of comments below. I play... everybody I know plays... mostly. You are all treasures! And the way you shared, my goodness, we are all there in the room with you. Awesome Rick!!! Faves those two... really good people.
I loved this episode. Thank you for making me aware of these two gentlemen. I subscribed to their channel. I am inspired to pick up my electric after only touching it a few times since 77. I picked acoustic back up a couple of a years ago and this reminded me that electric is my first love. There is so much for me to learn.
Wow . . . Dan's guitar playing (those Reverb-drenched, beautiful Clean-chords) = just incredible. You really showcased that CXM 1978. I didn't want it to end. Great episode guys.
Best thing about Mick and Dan besides Mick and Dan is, they give us all real examples that mean more than some keyboard warrior pontificating about the fact that they know everything about something. Keep it up gents!
Was watching this about 2 weeks ago and it got pulled while I was watching. Now I don't know where I left off. Good thing I love both of these channels. Time to start over.
What's amazing here is the level of respect and admiration that both parties have for each other. There's no competition, just information exchange. Love how they mentioned Pete Thorn and Tim Pierce. Brett Kingman is another player doing amazing demos as well.
I'll never forget first watching Pete Thorn play 'To Live and die in Nashville' and being absolutely blown away by the fact that this superb piece of music was created to demo something!
Ive literally been watching that pedal show for at least 6 years, and I owe damn near all my tone knowledge and rig set up to those two men. Absolutely incredible humans and an insane amount of knowledge! I am forever grateful for those guys! Hope they keep going for years to come🤘🏼
As well as being used as an observatory, calendar, and for ceremonies many scientists now believe that Stonehenge was also used as an acoustic and reverb chamber. This allowed speakers to be heard clearly no matter which way the listener was facing - but it also made it very difficult for people standing outside the circle to hear what was being said to the inner circle of priviledged listeners. Also, the small gaps between the stones created reverb which made the speaker's voice and music sound more pleasant. (Scientists have used models of Stonehenge inside acoustic chambers to prove this.)
I am a beginner guitarist and I don’t understand 90% of the stuff you and your guests talk about. I am soaking it up like a sponge. I believe listening to people who actually know a lot about the instrument will help me in the long run. So @rickbeato thank you for all of the wonderful content, guests and your educational knowledge on how people should learn to play. Love the shows and keep it up.
Dan and Mick. Great guests! Thank you Rick. Excellent interaction. Yes, it’s a deep rabbit hole when it comes to so many sonic options. That can feel like a daunting task. And Dave and Mick often remind us about the inspirational excitement that can draw us into the creative process, an almost magical experience. I especially loved their series about multiple amps- wet/dry/wet. Amazes me. Their excitement was contagious. No vaccine needed.
Another CRACKING idea, Rick!!! And now that you mention Stonehenge, I KNOW that one day you will do analysis of Spinal Tap's best song, their avant-garde "Jazz Oddysey".
Dan & Mick are so much fun to watch and I’ve learned so much about tone and the pursuit of it from them. But I agree totally with Mick’s point on keeping it simple between guitar and amp…how so many classic recordings were done.
I’ve never seen The Pedal Guys before, so now that I’ve been introduced, I’ll have to watch them some more. These guys were a total gas, and of course Rick knows how to do a great interview. Awesome.
Worlds collide! This video is amazing and thank you two channels for coming together! I've watched both of these channels for a long time and I am so excited to see them together in the same video!!
I'm addicted to your show man! And I don't have any addictions...lol. grew up in the 70's-80's and loved, loved playing, listening to music, depicting music like you do, and man, I identify with you and feel and see what you are heating when you describe the musician and music. LOVE! LOVE WHO you are and what you're doing with your show!! You're a great listening and truly understand how to interview and run a show with un-necessary interruptions!! Love to mee you someday! It would be an honor!!! -Jerry. Owner of an automotive shop in Los Angeles.
What a GREAT interview......I love that you guys returned the favours: Mick and Dan interviewing Rick; Rick interviewing Mick and Dan on each others channels......just great! I could listen to all of you guys all day.....and often do! 😳😂 I have to say, you guys, plus Tim Pierce and Eric Haugen are my biggest inspirations to improve my playing after 35 years, and I play better today than I ever have because of that inspiration! Thank you 🙏😎
Shout out to the hipster doofus, Eric Haugen. That guy's so class and easygoing, he really makes music feel accessible. And he always gets great sounds.
I don't really understand pedals (!) Yet That Pedal Show is something I watch whenever I get an opportunity, not just because I want to learn about pedals, but because you present in such an erudite and entertaining way So thank you. ...and then you get to speak with Rick Beato! I savoured every second.
I use a Strat into a Budda SD30 and I just turn it up and rock out. I have a pedal board with fuzz, octave fuzz, phaser, delay and reverb. But I often quite like to ditch the board and run a treble booster instead which is a great combo.
Watching That Pedal show, has not only inspired me to buy many great pedals, but lead me to find your channel, Rick. It also turned me on to Anderton's, Chappers, Rabea, Danish Pete and many other channels.
I'm so happy you re-uploaded this! I was halfway thru and had to refresh and it was private! I didn't mind the original audio issue at all, but you're a pro and we appreciate your meticulousness.
Do you happen to know what was the audio issue? I’m so glad it’s reuploaded… I was worried it was like some sort of exclusive that wasn’t supposed to be public or something when it suddenly stopped playing lol
@@zeyadhamza8791 I'm not quite sure if it was that Rick's audio was lost for some time and he dubbed over it or if the audio of the whole session was pitched down unintentionally... either way it wasn't a terrible distraction. However I didn't get to the playing segment in my first watch, so I don't know if that was affected in pitch either - I can't say if it was an overdub or accidental down-pitch for certain because of that. I doubt the video's contents changed at all, but I also can't be fully certain on that either. I'd assume its the same contents.
I was so glad they shouted him out, because he is a fantastic player. Like, really, really good. And his demos to me are how they should be-no chatter, just the pedal in context and then him fiddling knobs. The fiddling knobs part is frequently extremely enlightening. I’d totally take lessons from that guy if he (still) offered them.
Love this. And yes, Pete Thorn is the Bob Ross of demos. He makes anyone think they can do it, while being in a class of his own and letting the tone take him (and you) somewhere to paint happy pictures. ❤
Thank you! I'm grinning so wide about the Stonehenge bit, as I watched the rockumentary of a Duran Duran tour years ago and shortly after (or before?) watched Spinal Tap, and "They nailed it!" so well... 🤣
Great interview. When I joined my band last year, I was going to go through my modeller to a monitor and pa. I decided instead to use my 18 watt Marshall clone with a few pedals. For the first time in my life, I’m putting a microphone in front of my amp and getting an actual physical/emotional/visceral connection between my thoughts, my fingers, my guitar/amp and my ears. I don’t get that using a modeller. I use my modeller in a wedding band and it’s perfect for that. It’s just a different thing. Can’t beat a guitar and a tube amp.
Awesome! Love the 3 of you, long time fan of all. Rick...I've tried to comment this before, I think it would be great if you did videos on tracking, for guitars, vocals, etc., mic placement, pre amps, amps, the kind of stuff you were commenting here of when you were producing metal bands. Hope you see this! Great video.
Admittedly I have a lot of stuff, too much prob, but its funny when put in a situation that you need to strip back that you realize what really cuts the mustard. This summer i had a few festival gigs and anyone whos played a festival knows how assembly line they can be, no time to fuss with gear/presets etc (unless you are top bill or have your own sound person). So i assembled a board of just tuner-diamond compressor-kingtone soloist (really good tube screamer)-analogman dual delay- into backline hot rod deville with my tele. Tone was killer and cutting and no fuss, just let me play without thinking
Dan and Mick are great. I try to help, don't buy pedals as I don't play, I just have the ear and technical curiosity. Always loved guitar, organ whatever can be amped and pedaled or slid (slides on the organ) to change the vibe of the instrument. Acoustic is pure, yes, and it takes a master to allow it room to sing. Electronics on the other hand, allow a myriad of choices, from clean to crunch to downright filthy in the tones a player can sample. Textures and moods are endless with electronic enhancement in the hands of a player. The producer can describe the mood expected and between he and the player, find magic for the music. Love your shows Rick. Everyone has something to offer musically, you just have to take the time to listen and understand the backstory, or route they took to understand where they're coming from.
A lot of it is proper use of the English language. Great YT videos are made so much better with good grammar! Rick speaks better English than many English, his lines are definitive because he has a teaching background and knows how to deliver. You just know it is time to listen.
Fender Bullet Vintage Nickel Hendrix set on all my Tele’s. They’re 10, 13, 15, 26, 32, 38. I set action a bit higher than usual to tighten up the thick E string; works for me
yes, I have seen and followed them all, Mike Thorn, PHil X, Greg Koch, That pedal Show, Andertons, Scotts Bass Lessons, The Bass whisperer, Rick Beato, Mike Hermans, Dr. Mix, Trogly's, Piano with Johnny and couple of other people. What is the common thing to all these, they do professional quality stuff. It is not only their performance, but also the way stuff is recorded, camera, cutting. Of course, they also have topics, that are interesting.
Very nice video! I am so happy that I went back in time 😂 I used a modelling amp for such a long time and just recently I bought a jcm 800. After that I started soldering analog pedals and also building tube-amps. Although I have a sophisticated pedal board now, the signal chain is entirely analog. The only digital thing I use is a mooer radar as IR to simulate a speaker...
Reminded me of Phil X and his magnatone. I have been watching pedal and amp demo shows for a long time. The other day I remembered a few people from the past that I had forgotten about. Andy and Mike Hermans were a couple people I used to listen to a lot. The list of people is long. My current pile of pedals is huge.
Such a great video! One important thing that I had never really considered.... I use a 100w 2x12 Peavey ValveKing for gigs. The OD on the amp is "nice" but I use a Boss OD for drive with the OD on the amp either very low or non existent. To my ear it gives a far sweeter OD than just the amp OD. And, of course, its the EQ on the pedal right! Thank you... Explains a lot!
Excellent interview. They did give you a visual cue opportunity to insert the photo they said they would send you at the end, that was the only ball dropped, otherwise 5 stars 😊
I was working as a camera guy on a jazz show in a stadium one time. Sound check goes off with a band Frankie Beverly and Maze. It was SO LOUD. After sound check there was down time and I started talking to the sound guy running the board. He said the band had gone through some number of sound guys they didn’t like. He told me he got the amps to be pushing 160db on stage and they hired him. Thrilled. 160db. I had ear plugs in and it still was rattling my bones.
Dan and Mick are honest in the way they present pedals, or any other gear. But I find they fall into the same pitfalls that 99% of other UA-cam demos also do: 1) They hardly ever demo the range of settings attainable. What's the fastest and slowest modulation rate? Whats the softest and most intense distortion setting? How much does the Tone control cut treble? Etc. So many pedals are derivatives of other existing pedals, the user wants to know if any audible differences in *range* of controls might make A more useful to them than B. 2) Production methods have improved in the last 50 years. Silicon transistors are far more consistent than their germanium kin, and 1% metal resistors are cheap and plentiful enough that they are now generally used by default. But capacitors and potentiometers, and their respective tolerances, still play a role in how a pedal can be made to sound. Yet we still continue to see comparisons and "shootouts" based on one exemplar of a given pedal against another single exemplar of a different pedal. Will EVERY pedal X off the line sound identical, and every bit as different from every pedal Y off the line? We don't know. Yet so many myths and legends are created about X being better than Y, based on one example. In an interview I read, that Electro-Harmonix founder and prez, Mike Matthews, gave to a business magazine about 15 years back (wish I could remember which mag; maybe someone reading this knows), he said that you could take any 4 consecutively built Big Muff Pi pedals off the line in the late '70s and each one would sound different than the other 3. That's not a slag against his production methods, assemblers, or the design, but component tolerances, especially capacitors, can play a big role in how something sounds. Now, I suppose one *could* make a point of hand-selecting all the caps in a pedal, to make sure the finished pedals would all sound identical. But that additional labor ups your production cost, as well as your inventory costs (what do you do with all the caps that don't have the exact desired value?). Cast your mind back to the Maxon AD-999 that used 8 bucket brigade chips using 3 trimmers each. It weren't cheap. So, this is not a gripe against Mick and Dan, and it's most assuredly not their fault, but rather a weakness found across the board in pedal demos from the most well-loved and respected players who demo pedals, to the sloppiest also-rans. It's something we've gotten used to, unfortunately, and with the demise of music stores where one can try things out, it tends to result in too many disappointments, and 2nd hand ads from sellers who declare "Couldn't bond with it." as their reason for selling. We need to collectively fix that.

Mick and Dan - two absolute treasures in the guitar community!
The lack of ego and genuine interplay between Dan and Mick is the endearing factor that draws so many people to them. Absolute treasures.
Love it!!Mw
Got to love Mick, he gets a huge compliment from Rick and immediately deflects by calling out two other players, incredibly humble talent.
Apparently, this came out a year ago. I’m glad I’m seeing it now. I wouldn’t have appreciated this interview then, the way I do today. These are my absolute favorite UA-cam people from my two favorite UA-cam channels! This is pretty awesome, Thank you for making this happen!
I'm here a month behind you.
I love how when Rick speaks the decibel volume meter in the back spikes up to the 600s, but when the pedal guys are speaking it's in the low 500s. That New York italian in full force!
Youre missing the decimal point lol if they were speaking at 500/600 db that would be exceeding the volume of a nuclear bomb haha
That said i have no doubt Rick is much louder though, being a new yorker myself
Well, he said that he has tinitus, so it might be that he speaks up because his hearing is a bit harmed.
@@justinguitarcia xDDDD
He's also close to the decibel meter
Rick I have been watching you religiously for a year now and love what you are doing!!! I am the only woman owned record shop in Michigan and have done so 15 years now and music is so so important . Because of you I’ve picked my guitar back up and so glad I did!! Keep it up and keep spreading the word , without music I do not know where I would be. I brought in some Polyphia LPs in last week and was overjoyed when a kid came in and bought them yesterday. If your ever in Michigan please come by The Record lounge!!!!
I saw Rick get so emotionally moved by what they were doing there and it just got me so strong. These guys are living life.
Watching Dan and Mick taught me everything I needed to know about guitars and guitar gear. I studied their teachings for about two years and spent $15,000, and went from knowing almost nothing to knowing something.
What did you get?
I absolutely adore That Pedal Show. I actually ended up picking up a guitar and learning to play because I was so interested in gear and what they talked about on their show. I come from the world of computer enthusiasts so guitar gear was a clear transition point into a new hobby for me. Their channel is such a fantastic resource to identify what it is that YOU want to sound like and what will help get you there.
This is a crossover I didn't expect but I'm thrilled it happened
Love watching these guys videos.....and to see Rick sitting with them is like a double win! 3 amazing men who know how to entertain and teach....
The thing that I like about Dan, Mick and Rick is that they are true to themselves.
These guys are professionals and love what they do. And I (we) thank them for that. It makes us mere mortal guitar players feel a part of a greater community.

Three of my favorite guitar people right there...not just for the guitar insight but the passion and love of people and music. So fun, thank you 😎👍
I so respect Daniel and Mick, and I've learned so much from them, that has lead to me in obtaining the tone that I hear in my head.

Ah yes, Rick to explain theory I don’t understand, and Dan and Mick to point out frequencies I can’t hear
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yet, we keep coming back for more 👍
Fact!
Frequencies that don’t exist or even if they did could be EQ’d in or out.

Second time in watching my boys talking to the boss and still feel like I could watch a third time. Top content!
I watch other guitar UA-cam channels too. Glad to see you all did a version for both channels. I loved your episode!

Always loved guitar, organ whatever can be amped and pedaled or slid (slides on the organ) to change the vibe of the instrument. Acoustic is pure, yes, and it takes a master to allow it room to sing. Electronics on the other hand, allow a myriad of choices, from clean to crunch to downright filthy in the tones a player can sample. Textures and moods are endless with electronic enhancement in the hands of a player. The producer can describe the mood expected and between he and the player, find magic for the music. Love your shows Rick. Everyone has something to offer musically, you just have to take the time to listen and understand the backstory, or route they took to understand where they're coming from.
"We wanted to go into a room and make noise..." two people I totally get. Great interview.
Well done Mr. Steinhardt... well done....👏👏👏
7:44 This is where Rick should have borrowed the "Noel's Knobs" sample....
A lot of it is proper use of the English language. Great YT videos are made so much better with good grammar! Rick speaks better English than many English, his lines are definitive because he has a teaching background and knows how to deliver. You just know it is time to listen.
The Mistress is my favorite too. Can't go without it.
Besides Tom
these guys are the three kings
Beato is
The
best interviewer
Fender Bullet Vintage Nickel Hendrix set on all my Tele’s. They’re 10, 13, 15, 26, 32, 38. I set action a bit higher than usual to tighten up the thick E string; works for me
My favorite worlds colliding!
Fantastic video for the dynamics of amp variations. So informative. Thank you for doing this video. I will be watching it again for sure!!
I still say that "EFFECTED" is the best T-Shirt ever
Glad you got this back up! Been looking forward to it.
the best crossover ever! love them all
would like to see these guys get together with PGS Andy. He was one of the OG gear demo masters.
I know this is a long shot but an interview with RITCHIE BLACKMORE would be EPIC!
Rick is a perfect fit w/ you two, awesome!…
Connection thru music……love it.
yes, I have seen and followed them all, Mike Thorn, PHil X, Greg Koch, That pedal Show, Andertons, Scotts Bass Lessons, The Bass whisperer, Rick Beato, Mike Hermans, Dr. Mix, Trogly's, Piano with Johnny and couple of other people. What is the common thing to all these, they do professional quality stuff. It is not only their performance, but also the way stuff is recorded, camera, cutting. Of course, they also have topics, that are interesting.
What only 45 minutes ? This video should be 3hrs at least. I loved every short minute. :)
That Tele and FX combs was amazing
Informative and yes, long live loud amps🎉
Terrific interview, I love these channel collaborations.
Very nice video! I am so happy that I went back in time 😂 I used a modelling amp for such a long time and just recently I bought a jcm 800. After that I started soldering analog pedals and also building tube-amps. Although I have a sophisticated pedal board now, the signal chain is entirely analog. The only digital thing I use is a mooer radar as IR to simulate a speaker...
"My 2 favourite YT channels together in the same location, again! This is great."
I didn’t understand half of it, but thoroughly enjoyed it anyway! 😀
I would love to see you interview Chris Buck! Love what you are doing BTW.
Reminded me of Phil X and his magnatone.
I have been watching pedal and amp demo shows for a long time. The other day I remembered a few people from the past that I had forgotten about.
Andy and Mike Hermans were a couple people I used to listen to a lot. The list of people is long. My current pile of pedals is huge.
Why did the guitar become the instrument at the center of all music we love? Great work!
It has to be the only instrument anyone can connect and make music with on day 1, but still challenges and excites on day 10,000..
Such a great video! One important thing that I had never really considered.... I use a 100w 2x12 Peavey ValveKing for gigs. The OD on the amp is "nice" but I use a Boss OD for drive with the OD on the amp either very low or non existent. To my ear it gives a far sweeter OD than just the amp OD. And, of course, its the EQ on the pedal right! Thank you... Explains a lot!
Half way through - this is one of your most fun, guitar appreciating vids ever, Rick. TYVM Sir Dude.
Excellent interview. They did give you a visual cue opportunity to insert the photo they said they would send you at the end, that was the only ball dropped, otherwise 5 stars 😊
I was working as a camera guy on a jazz show in a stadium one time. Sound check goes off with a band Frankie Beverly and Maze. It was SO LOUD. After sound check there was down time and I started talking to the sound guy running the board. He said the band had gone through some number of sound guys they didn’t like. He told me he got the amps to be pushing 160db on stage and they hired him. Thrilled. 160db. I had ear plugs in and it still was rattling my bones.
Dan and Mick are honest in the way they present pedals, or any other gear. But I find they fall into the same pitfalls that 99% of other UA-cam demos also do:
1) They hardly ever demo the range of settings attainable. What's the fastest and slowest modulation rate? Whats the softest and most intense distortion setting? How much does the Tone control cut treble? Etc. So many pedals are derivatives of other existing pedals, the user wants to know if any audible differences in *range* of controls might make A more useful to them than B.
2) Production methods have improved in the last 50 years. Silicon transistors are far more consistent than their germanium kin, and 1% metal resistors are cheap and plentiful enough that they are now generally used by default. But capacitors and potentiometers, and their respective tolerances, still play a role in how a pedal can be made to sound. Yet we still continue to see comparisons and "shootouts" based on one exemplar of a given pedal against another single exemplar of a different pedal. Will EVERY pedal X off the line sound identical, and every bit as different from every pedal Y off the line? We don't know. Yet so many myths and legends are created about X being better than Y, based on one example.
In an interview I read, that Electro-Harmonix founder and prez, Mike Matthews, gave to a business magazine about 15 years back (wish I could remember which mag; maybe someone reading this knows), he said that you could take any 4 consecutively built Big Muff Pi pedals off the line in the late '70s and each one would sound different than the other 3. That's not a slag against his production methods, assemblers, or the design, but component tolerances, especially capacitors, can play a big role in how something sounds. Now, I suppose one *could* make a point of hand-selecting all the caps in a pedal, to make sure the finished pedals would all sound identical. But that additional labor ups your production cost, as well as your inventory costs (what do you do with all the caps that don't have the exact desired value?). Cast your mind back to the Maxon AD-999 that used 8 bucket brigade chips using 3 trimmers each. It weren't cheap.
So, this is not a gripe against Mick and Dan, and it's most assuredly not their fault, but rather a weakness found across the board in pedal demos from the most well-loved and respected players who demo pedals, to the sloppiest also-rans. It's something we've gotten used to, unfortunately, and with the demise of music stores where one can try things out, it tends to result in too many disappointments, and 2nd hand ads from sellers who declare "Couldn't bond with it." as their reason for selling. We need to collectively fix that.
Great sound is where you find it! 😊
@35:50 what is that huge tail-piece looking thing on the green SG? You know, the BEAUTIFUL sort of powder green SG custom.
Love these ❤ guys!
