LIVE Comments & Questions With Dan & Mick – November 22 2021 – That Pedal Show

[Music] here he oh he's making an entrance this will be so loud got a new lick [Music] hello start off with the pivot band hey everyone welcome to that pedal show uh viewers comments and questions live um dan here mick here hello uh okay we had a buzzing last week we might have it again this week it's one of the fans there's a compressor in in place love you i love you it's one of the fans not that kind of fan you can it's literally inaudible where we're sat here right but the compressor is yeah compressor likes it right very good yeah anyway hopefully you can hear us welcome here we are then bath spa here we are bath's bar i can't remember the next one um hotfield park okay bristol temple means wrestle telemaze that's the one um if you're new and confused about what you're watching welcome yeah indeed welcome this is something that we do every monday uh comments and questions you can ask us anything you like we try to make it about the video that went out on friday wherever possible but it tends not to be that way yeah and we go off into subjects wide and varied indeed that may cover modern philosophy wine or indeed guitar effects pedals who we got on there dan you up i i am for some reason it logged me out and i cannot log back in but that's okay that's not okay because it's really not okay i'm trying i am trying yeah yeah ah what is going on this is good they call this dead air on the radio they do they do um anyway so friday's video was about going direct we did it in case any of you are asking because uh i'd helped a friend out recently with the pedalboard where he was in the position of going direct he was using one particular device that he stopped using and then decided he wanted a different solution so we put it together and i was you know not being fan of of direct sounds in general for lots of reasons which we'll probably discuss today um really pleasantly surprised with the with the results we got so i thought dan you should hear this on the show and we did a show and unfortunately it sort of went a bit flat and everyone got really annoyed with us but i was really annoyed with me and i i don't blame you and i i just annoyed with you no no so just some of the comments over the weekend um and i it was really it was really interesting i i i did try i just i just i can't pretend if it's not happening for me yeah you know what i mean i just everyone i think people that have been watching the show for a long time know instantly what i'm into something or not it's good we're not very good liars no i cannot yeah um but i it's really really interesting i had my little lazy j at home the other day and i just turned it all the way down plugged my board in i was just working on some sounds it just sounded great i thought it's a really interesting thing that um playing quietly versus playing direct yep you know because it's not necessarily that playing direct isn't necessarily that quiet it's just controlled yeah the controller i think is the key that is the key thing that's the key thing yeah yeah yeah and i think in those environments where you are again as soon as any of us can get into the i'm in i'm in okay um when you can play in those environments where you have really good iem mixes yeah um and it's all very controlled and your goal as a band is to sound a bit like a record i think it's just perfect yeah yeah it makes a lot of you want to sound produced it's really really great for that [Music] oh um they changed the interface again oh no i'm so bored of it so um okay roll call where were you coming in from let's see um uh j luke moses checking in from saint louis missouri louis mr lewis you would probably say would you love i don't know meet me innocent louis meet me instant louis okay um mr anderson what's the matrix on the weekend yeah brilliant mr anderson 59 says hello from chicago it's just his sweet home i just i can't watch it with him in it are you serious yeah yeah have you never seen the matrix i've seen it many times but i just can't get into it because everything's on screen you go no bill's going to move in at any point and go [Music] uh i want to so i went to see that at the cinema in sydney yeah and with with zero idea what the film was about yeah and i just remember walking out my mind completely blown it was just wonderful yeah a friend of mine actually did you know this the scene where the helicopter hits the building and all the the ripples uh he did that scene really the special effects guys well which was hard working those days very hard work these days it's like shift up or make ripple isn't it and that's how that that's very works that's very good jolly willard chicago g'day mate yes fred fred wolfe from dartmoor hello fred from dartmoor jamielle across the river in cork nice nice i went there once uh a bondy ns soggy nova scotia canada johnny headland uh t a with a two dots over at by in sweden oh tabby [Music] um david rustad hello david uh cloudy and cold richland washington michael monroe greetings from grand prairie alberta grant imagine living on grand prairie put me to put that your address in where do you live grand prairie um kelvin mack greetings from alberta canada uh thanks for the escape renzo hi from israel g'day mate rich sadowsky sturbidge massachusetts emma is that i wonder if stadowski wouldn't feel related at all to the sadowski music people all sorts of things all sorts of things uh tobias vogel's gang hi from south brooklyn in germany i've been to suffolk in germany yes me too uh played a gig there actually really yeah 12 foot chain greetings from nashville tennessee oh lovely we'll get there one day florida temper oe boo boo um cincinnati oh hi yo says jeffrey blake sorry that was my very bad uh half bootsy impression because in quite a few of his records he says cincinnati ohio well all right well all right well all right uh so jayla kumar says uh pronounced lewis not louis thank you and kate uh kj photo says cheers from the big apple uh hello to the big apple be nice to go there again one day wouldn't it dan it's such a great time there uh john w triple seven greetings from dallas texas he says dallas georgia maybe maybe there's a dallas in georgia uh back online after a move well congratulations yeah that's always when you move house that first bit of internet connection you get in your in your in in your new house is always really satisfying no one in your house is organized to make it work from the minute you move in yes no of course not unless you're married to catherine right in which case it works the second you walk through the front door it's always about two to three weeks for me yeah yeah are you oh we haven't got any internet and the kids like collapse um michael han says dan you convinced me to get a telly myself thanks for the inspiration from you both ah cheers mate never look back lee petty foot hi dan and mick greetings from swindon love tps and you guys also a big thumbs up for dougie an old school friend oh mate love that man much more dougie coming this friday yeah he's so good he is so good um uh albus band aaron heiss is all my love to you and bv ninja with this being the whole um cyber monday black friday lead up this warehouse is nuts aaron works in a warehouse 5 000 items daily and it's me versus the inventory oh boy that's a big deal yeah yes thanksgiving of course this week um and which has been taken over by black friday which uh you may or may not be happy about but um yeah speaking of black friday yeah christmas christmas set yeah yeah holiday i think they'd be perfectly okay on thanksgiving yeah yeah i'm i'm thankful for this um either game deer yeah or rain gear game deal i like india yeah um uh rudolph the well red nose because led lead ferrari and alcoholic led reindeer very good yeah very good yeah yeah good right let's get into these cues then um yes well we'll have a we'll have an announcement a little bit later on yeah a little bit but we're not just yet yeah we're gonna we're gonna wait we're gonna get into a little bit get into the flow putty and now and when we're in the middle of the float i'm gonna yeah break the cup we're gonna break the flight yeah yeah yeah yeah hi dnm says plexico hey plexigo i got the dnm reindeer t-shirt the pedal reindeer shirt he says thank you so much and it raised eyebrows at the family dinner table nice good very good um thanks so any thoughts on the mallard oc 81d that's obviously a transistor oc81d used in treble boosters maybe um the i don't i don't know top of my head i've got a bunch of oc81 i've got i see what have i got my stuff for a tone bender maybe it's a holy grail for tone benders right um i don't think either of us have really been down the rabbit hole that far no i've got a bunch of oc uh transistors in my old treble boosters that and you've got to be a bit careful um i remember with my original java boost i've had a couple of them and one of the original uh mallard transistors i had in it sounded just amazing for about six months and then one night it just didn't happen and i couldn't work out and scratch my head anyway um robert sent me a new transistor for it and i popped out the r1 pop the new one in because it was done in it had little uh sockets yeah you could swap them over yep a new one sounded amazing six months later san jose oh wow so it was yeah but i don't know if because you know they're all different they all have different leakage factors and you know gain factors and all that stuff and even the same model is all very different like uh those those old transistors you can have 100 and you might find 10 that are appropriate so you know what goes wrong with them then well you can't remember the you know the germain stuff is is unstable um which is the reason that people went to silicon you know but they're very affected by heat as we know um so they get they can get worse over time they can degrade yeah i like caps the transits it's weird they they yeah it's just something to be aware of they can go wrong they they're not as robust as the silicon ones you know um so no we don't really sorry plexigo have too much insight on that i've never sat there and swapped out transistors in fuzzers and things um maybe those days has come yeah yeah maybe we can ask marcus reeves about that when he comes in that'd be fun brad jackson hello brad hello brad hello dnm i've got a cue about boss overdrive pedals uh with the input buffer seeing the impedance that the pedal sees hang on with the input buffer seeing the impedance that the pedal sees okay lost already keep going um you've got two pedals the the input buffer seeing the impedance that the pedal sees before no uh so you plug your guitar in yeah input impedance yeah and then what happens next that's what the pedal's seeing what the circuit is saying the input buffer yeah okay all right yeah yeah um what accounts for whether how a pedal will clean up it must differ from a vintage fuzz but how so think of a vintage fuzz and the vintage fuzz has got okay so this is really interesting right remember before we're talking about in the buffer show we're talking about the all the elements that go into it all the um and how the reactance levels of the capacitance and the inductance as false frequency sensitive right but we also talked about that inductance and we talked about um the like the coil and how that reacts well if you think about the um what ends up happening is you get that the more the resistance the more that q that um that peak is sort of squashed down right if you think about the when with the really low input uh impedance that cue sort of squashed down all the way so that when you add more resistance with your um volume control the whole the level all across the board is sort of brought down much more so than the when you've got when you add more resistance it starts to bring that peak down anyway very dull it goes it's just to say a lot of it has to do with um the input impedance of the pedal so your boss pedals generally they're only about 500k they're not they're advertised as a mega i think but they're actually 500 plus k generally um your fuzz face can be like 10k super super low um but that's it you know it has to do with a lot of things it's got to do with you know the guitar to start with um you know the impedance is very important the the gain structure in the pedal it can be a combination of things um like i love the way the blues blues drive uh cleans up and that's still a high impedance pedal so it's not all about the impedance you know direct coupling can have a big impact on it as well pickups or everything how much gain you got rolled on yeah it's like saying what is why is this steak tasty yeah you know it would be good it would be a great thing to delve into though to try and pick some of those factors out and go well okay what is the defining factor here then how do we ensure that the guitar cleans up nicely when we turn it down sure is it purely impedance or oh a whole bunch of different things yeah good great question thank you yeah um we don't have a name no name uh no name anyway it's d herbert it says dan any ice pick issues with any of your tellys and the princeton i read lots of advice what's yours so i'm playing a newfangled american pro 2 and a 65 princeton reverbery issue just if you can turn the princeton up you won't have any of those issues the princeton more than any other amp i've ever played the amp changes so drastically between one and a half and two between two and three like just a tiny percentage increase in that princeton it's a different instrument um so dan lives on and for treble treble is dan's place and he likes it and he's got such a he hits the guitar so hard that quite often honestly those treble frequencies even on a clean sound are overdriving before they hit the amp i know this having done the audio for week in week out for god knows how long i hear this in my ears when i'm doing the audio um [Music] so right from this right from the get-go how much you know ice pick is one thing lots of treble but actually if you can hit the amp with sufficient amplitude yeah um then it will start to overdrive a bit and those those trebles roll off a bit for most of the rest of the humans on earth just roll the tone pop back yeah about to about seven or eight which is what a lot of people who aren't necessarily as confident with telly as dan is [Music] uh that tends to work for most of the rest of the planet confident yeah me included actually i always unless if the if the amp is overdriving or you've got a bit of gain in the overdrive pedal very happily have it all flat out but if you're on one of those i know i know exactly what you mean with the with that particular kind of fender black panel sound it's particularly bad in a deluxe reverb when the bright cap is yeah doing its thing too unless you've got it cranked so totally understand what you're talking about just try roll that um tone knob back a bit and you should find that will cease to be a problem and that you know in bright channels of amplifier the more that you turn up the less that bright cap is yeah in the signal so you know that's going to be part of it as well but when the ant starts to limit and yeah or the magic happens but yeah as mick said the tone control is your friend and the ice pick when you're sat at home trying to play and sound nice and have a nice time is a hateful thing but the minute you get in a band you probably find yourself turning the bright switch on again should your amp have one princeton doesn't i know um and just looking for a bit more of that punchy high end because that's what you need to get over the symbols and stuff hopefully all topics which we'll discuss a bit more as we do the band format yep absolutely yeah good luck yeah corey shoemaker or indeed schumacher maybe shoemaker [Music] thanks to you both he says uh i have learned so much from tps legends what are your thoughts on sticking with a board and tweaking settings to get out of a rut as opposed to just buying new stuff yeah i would say it's a it's really tricky without knowing what you're going for um you know if you've got a clear idea of the sound that you're going for and it's and you just know it's not in there then you know explore some new stuff however if you're just if you're sort of exploring sounds um you know like when we recorded uh we did a film last week and we had uh tube screamer and the sd9 that's astonishing the sounds together those those two pedals you know just from different tone positions different game positions volume positions it's it might be did you say sd9 um was it the sd9 sd3 sd1 sd1 sd9 sorry my brain is on a 10 second delay today uh sd1 sd1 yeah getting to getting to grips with the gear that you have um is great and after you've explored it fully and then you say yes the sound i really wants there or not it's hard to know what fully is isn't it yeah certainly thinking the sd1 brought back a lot of memories of me for me particularly because as we explained in the video when i was a kid i say a kid sorry uh i don't know 16 17 just getting into bands and doing all of that you could only buy two pedals in my local music shop boss or arion that was all that was available so it was boss because they had a number of yellow overdrives and i went through them all and you know you've got guitar magazines with mail order but there's no internet there's no youtube you can't really see any of this stuff so you're forced to learn you know get what you can out of the gear you've got and that's good to a certain point but then i wish i'd discovered first faces when i was 18 not when i was 38 yeah yeah or 28 or whatever it was so yeah it's a tough one in it balancing out that kind of gas for going this will solve this problem for me versus actually i probably can do it with this stuff so yeah you know my first lesson with that was i think i was about 13 and my sister was doing this gig in a church in brisbane and i was at soundcheck with him and the guitar player was trying to play like they were trying to play the song and i knew the chords he was trying to play right and i wanted so much to go up there and go no you're doing it wrong and i thought no even at 13 i knew to do that i would be an absolute idiot don't do that sit down and shut up and he was there going oh yeah it just doesn't sound right you're not playing it right it doesn't sound right i know what i need i've got this delay at home this rack delay and if i get that it's going to sound perfect so he got that delay put in a cab sent to the church he got all hooked up because yeah there it is and dance is going you know it's still not right you know um and it's like it's a really you know nice nice analog rack delay you know it was really cool uh but it's like no he what he actually needed to do was just play the right notes play the right notes don't tell anyone that that's the last episode ever hello welcome to that pedal show actually all you need to do is play the right notes good night but it's just you know that's just an example of um the gear for him at that point was not the answer yeah right yeah good luck good luck yeah good luck mate um harrison hello harrison i've got a strat question he says i recently got a plus placid blue presumably lake placid blue strat from atb did you know oh wow i'm assuming that so that's a fairly significantly smart guitar i'm struggling to connect with it at lower volume i've tried all the mid boost options from the strap video do you have any other advice thanks gents um yeah what amp are you playing it with have you got plenty of reverb on that always i find that works with the strat that don't know what guitar you're coming from so i'm going to make an assumption given that you say you've recently got the strat i'm going to assume that you came from a different kind of guitar and if that is the case um they're real funny animals strats like any guitar you've got to let it be what it is so if you're used to playing i did the opposite thing i played a strat ever since i was i don't know 14 13 years old and then when i was about 17 i got a les paul i couldn't play it i got rid of it i just a real one yeah yeah i got a like one of these no one of those standards of the period which weighed like boat anchor what year was it uh well if i was if i was 16 that would have been 1990. okay was it a studio it was no no it was a les paul standard oh it was in 80s gibson let's move tobacco sunburst oh wow probably weight relieved um but still like a boat anchor um and i just couldn't play it i couldn't i should do all the things i tried to do on my strat i just could not play it because i didn't understand what les paul did and what it was for right and it might be that you're experiencing a little bit of that you just have to let it be what it's going to be one thing i would urge you to do is not hit the guitar so hard right at lower volumes and just hold the notes let them let them do their thing and just let it be a strat maybe play some strategy type things on it i mean you don't have to be cliched about it but it's a good place to start i don't know play some stevie ray softer stuff or some hendrixy stuff or i don't know john mayo in the positions two and four and just see if you can start to bond with it a lot of reverb will really help and then the paradox of that situation is once the volume starts going up i just do think you need to work the strat a bit harder than you do other guitars so with gibson's i sit right off them and no i never hit the gibson in the same way that i would hit the strap with because it just won't take it yeah and that's what i because it just gets to that limit so quick it's just there there's no dynamic range left and that's that was the problem i had in my les paul yeah plus it was twice as loud as the strat so i was doing both of those things and going there's nothing in this guitar is this barking my head off so you might feel the opposite of that where nothing is making any kind of push so um is the action really low that's another problem with vintage type straps if the action is really low that sometimes the strings just start really singing out um but yeah dial a bunch of reverb in um turn it up a little bit if you can and just let the guitar play some chords you know let the guitar just have its voice there's a couple of vlogs and also the strat show that we did but we explore in quite uh great detail everything mix talking about so maybe just give that a watch and go through and see if there's anything there that connects with you but yeah it is um you know if you're coming from a different guitar it's yeah can take a bit conversely if you're coming from other strats and you just don't like it totally possible yeah as you well know i love strats but i don't love eighty percent of it yeah um it just might not be the right sort of configuration for you uh yeah could be that could be that indeed uh prague doggy from up there in canada across and up there in canada cold up there at the moment is it really cold depends where you are probably joey sent me a picture of his he was just like dude look at this rabbit it was just snowing know the outside car like you gesture the roof of the car yeah full of snow like ah dan dislikes the cold intensely not your thing is it cold i i like going to the snow for like a week if you if you're there like yeah yeah you give me hot chocolate you know what you know sit by the fire yay we're off to now oh we're gonna catch a plane goes the sunshine awesome but i do like i've been here this january i'll have been in the uk for 20 years and i am still still not used to it still not used to it okay uk it can be a beautiful day in the middle of summer right sun there like you know gorgeous you walk in the shadow of a building and it's like oh god what the hell is that as soon as you're not in direct sunlight in the uk it's cold and i don't know why you came here mate honestly the um woman of course um the the funny thing is even after 20 years i still i see the sun and i go oh it's sunny day t-shirt shorts let's go that still doesn't think oh yes right you're in the uk you absolute anyway i i on the other hand really like the cold so there we are that's the difference between this dan right um prog doggy uh quick reminder that cheap guitars can be great yeah you'll yeah hopefully you'll never hear us saying anything else totally um i got a squier custom 60s esquire and i'm shocked at how good it is yeah absolutely um and on a sadder note really sad news about david london yeah uh if you haven't heard big train you should and give them a try yeah of course uh dan very friendly with the other dave yeah so i i um it's very very sad i i recorded a couple of tracks on one of their albums and did a solo on one of their albums for a while dave and i were both going to be doing guitars in there but we got very busy doing other stuff but yeah i knew those guys very well and they were very supportive of ten spirits and um they really liked what we were doing and uh when i there's a the first album that david london was on was an album called the under full yard and i think there's also the first album dave was on just remarkable the playing in it is just off the charts and david brought a new energy to that band and his vocal was astonishing and yeah it's just heartbreaking um yeah really really really sad thanks for reminding of us of that prague and yeah steve renny hello steve rennie says big love dnm friday's show confuse me why did you throw the valves out with the bath water why not a valve preamp and cab sim before the frfr for flat range for response uh full full range flat response um or something like a rev d20 which i was thinking of buying yeah a lot of people asked this actually why didn't we put any valves in the mix dan the idea was to get a standard pedalboard and see what it sounds like it wasn't so we weren't trying to make those things work it was about here's a couple of yeah commonal garden pedals the kind of pedals that you'll find on everyone's portable and that will stick into a valve app make it go you know that's great yeah what happens when these go into the thing now not just those as solutions they're amazing absolutely and there are ways you can make it work but we weren't there trying to say well if you do this and do this and do this it'll sound great there were some amazingly complex suggestions coming through in the in the comments the video like if you do this and if you do that you stand on your head face west and uh then then it sounds good it's like well yeah we could keep we could keep mining it we could keep doing it and you you know you're right i think it would be really interesting to hear we did discuss it before we started filming so let's get a couple kingsley preamps and just give it the the best front end we possibly can and quite rightly we came to the conclusion of actually do you know what no there's a two-year waiting list on that stuff yeah um [Music] people would just say oh why don't you use normal pedals now of course what we should have done is use both probably so if we do ever revisit it again i think that would be a good way to do it my opinion on it is that a purely from a personal perspective right standing next to the amp in the room and playing in the way that i like to play which is next to the amp the only thing i like coming through my wedge is um vocals and if it's very rare that i'm on a stage big enough personally speaking to need a band mix through my wedge you know i don't play in stadia playing pubs where the monitoring is either non-existent or a wedge for your vocals or small clubs same thing so i've got ambient bass and drums and other guitar no worries and keys i can hear everything i don't need that coming through my wedge i only want vocals what i definitely don't want through my wedge is guitar what i want is that coming out of the guitar amp and back to the point when you break that when you take away the in in my case in dan's case valve output section output transformer a cabinet made of nice wood speaker and the physical interaction that that has as a guitar player it then doesn't matter what else you do so even if you did put the best kingsley preamp in the world on the front doesn't matter because it all gets broken at that point where you do away with all that other stuff which is not to say that thousands of people don't use it and get great results because they don't play in that way they don't require that constant feedback loop of and the other hopefully i mean this may come up one of the other so yours um question steve was the most common question in terms of why didn't you do this the second most common question was well hang on a minute all those brilliant records were made with the guitar player stood in the control room and the amps off in the uh you know where they were being mic'd up and that's very true so you the inference being that you break that physical connection between guitar and speaker cab there's definitely some of it happening with really really good studio monitors definitely so if you've got the monitors cranked in the control room and they are really really good studio monitors like you know 20 grand worth of studio monitors not flipping a 10p out front pa cab which is what you're like likely to have we had that when we went to real world yeah and we walked into the monitors when there was like this yeah tower and we tracked the monitors really loud and it was like yeah that that's amazing that's a that's a feedback loop i can get into yeah um so yeah that's why we didn't do it and maybe we should revisit it um maybe if another product comes out because the reason we did the video was because i heard the dsm humboldt for the first time and thought wow that's a that feels like a game changer in terms of what i've been hearing from direct options for some time much preferred it to anything else i'd heard and i wanted dan to hear it that's why we did the video um as it turns out we we probably won't be doing one again for a minute but um yeah what i think what would be really interesting but sorry just to finish that the recorded sounds were pretty good recorded and they were they when i heard them back i was like oh okay yeah because that's what that's when you're in your iem yeah yeah because in the room it was like it was it was hard but when you hear it back in the recorder thing was like so these things sound like a recorded produced guitar and that's great and that's that's it isn't it that's entirely the point once it's recorded and mixed and mastered and put in a record i mean lots of people say you can't hear it you can but it doesn't sound like inferior or worse or anything else yeah it sounds really great and i think that's why when people watch youtube demos the two things being compared it's so confusing you stand in the room next to them and it's quite a different experience but regardless for that stuff yeah that it's finding having options and things that will get you playing and finding the options that work for you if if your situation is you absolutely need a silent stage then or you want one or you want to sign up stage then there's some things to look at yeah you know i i can't um i would never choose to play on a silent stage personally but if i if i was playing in a pit or or whatever no one saw war of the worlds and um expecting to see uh chris what's his name herbie flowers was playing and um the guitar player uh anyway i thought i'd you know see them there with their old amps and go ooh but no they had pods on stage and they were super super quiet because they were sat there with a 40 piece orchestra you know and everything had to be really controlled and they sounded great um yeah indeed sorry i was just on the vote the voices are really quite we've got some work to do they they get quieter which i i cannot for the life of me understand that's weird yeah i'm going to turn the superchats off because we've got chris penning thank you peter jessup we have got so many super chats thank you very much everyone but i have got to turn them off otherwise we're in trouble and we'll be here until tomorrow which we can't be here until tomorrow for lots of reasons so if you have super chatted to this point we will answer if you haven't no more super chats close um we've got our second experience day on friday we do so we do amazing if you're watching you're going to be coming to that we look forward to meeting you on friday uh the first one was ace so oh my god oh my god oh dear yeah we better hurry up okay um curtis are ends of legs today i sent my g7 off to mike pierre for less noise more headroom i love that pedal but it's time to put its big kid pants on yeah well done uh do you have a favorite mod by mike or anybody else just from kansas city um [Music] my favorite mod is my old keely modded blues driver that thing sounds flippant exceptional but i've nev i don't know what he's done i've purposely never gone in and explored it as i just want to enjoy it without trying to analyze it too much because it sounds great analog man i just love his pedals um his zitto yeah yeah everything he makes is phenomenal i haven't explored the world of his mods i know that people do love them but things like the the bad bob boost and the his fuzzers and stuff and his delays his choruses they're just as they're as good as money can buy yeah and i just totally love that man's gear yeah yeah i think so many of his things so many of mike's things have developed alongside people that he knows really well and that are out playing all the time and for that reason they work really well yeah and that's great he doesn't he's not saying uh he's not imposing 100 of his own thing on there he works with people and and gets them to you know uh have input and stuff and what ends up with is just magic yeah really magic yep um i've got a keeley modded 808 which i really love i've also got an analog man modded um maxon od9 oh yeah which i really really love um and again i don't really know what the mods are i just know that i connect with the pedals and it's not i i don't think it's purely psychosomatic because you know we've got hundreds of pedals and when i plug something in i know if i connect with it or not um might not be necessarily a tonal thing it's like ah all these notes are coming out of my guitar um yeah mike seems to hit that target more than pretty much anybody else yeah jam actually jam's another company that that i connect with anything that they make yeah i'm not quite sure why but yeah uh super black magic or super saturn says magic man oh what's the saturn i don't know i haven't played the saturn so can't really say we do have a black magic and you can hear it on the show on friday that sounds superb yeah absolutely superb um it's very interesting actually doing the audio they're very complimentary those amps really in terms of mid-range yeah so we used to well actually they're behind me why do i it's behind you super like black magic in a 65 deluxe reverb penta season it's behind you um where they've really complement each other those amps yeah i was recording with them with with the band was just magic yeah yeah it's another band show on 4d so good so good looks like the saturn's got reverb oh wow which is really cool because um the black magic that we have does not have reverb although i do believe there is a black magic with reverb can you check the super chat someone's just super chatter i believe let's just come in that weird okay oh it's on i turned it off so annoying anyway we will answer anyone who's super chatted apologies for my grumpiness we need to produce it then yeah um [Music] i'm getting the older i get the less good i am at juggling plates unfortunately i'm not sure is there any ever good any any ever good can't even get words out uh yeah so the saturn is interesting if it's one with reverb that might swing it for you but they're both 25 watts um yeah i don't know don't know we really like the black magic yeah it's the black magic is superb but if you want reverb satin but if you don't need any reverb black magic lovely henry hugh wiesemann 01 henry huisman 01 he says no question just some money for the add a basis to the fun land fund tps inspired me not to buy a new base but to enter the rabbit hole of tone i got 12 pedals on my current board and still exploring sounds every day amazing amazing good idea well we look funny because on the the bass rig we used to record that and we had a couple of the new ampeg pedals in there and i had so much fun playing baseball yeah we both opened oh my god we're both a little more adventurous on the base yeah this one it's wonderful um massive thanks to bv as always uh for moderating this week and uh for keeping us in touch with what's going on bibi thank you so much thank you mate david cummings joke of the day says david he says i thought i was a legend it turns out i'm just a heel keep up the good work thanks david [Laughter] pet moxie hello pet hello pet uh hi both got the celestian gold fitted and cooking i believe that was in your princeton oh nice um cheers for the advice overwhelmed with all the uad plugins uh what are the essential ones for a singer-songwriter oh and michael century channel strip is the one i would go with first it's got a preamp an eq and a compressor in it and it's really great whenever i do anything that's just vocals and guitar i always use it um and you can use it either as a unison preamp plug-in strip or you can apply it afterwards it's really great as a unison plug-in that's fantastic i'm a massive fan of the api vision channel strip which you can hear right now right now it has a preamp really fantastic eq section it's got two types of eq that you can put together um a gate uh a compressor low pass filter all the things you would expect um massive fan of the 1176 compressors and the la2a compressor limiter teletronics those are the things that we use consistently um along with the neve 1073 pre so there's so much good stuff yeah but i would say if you go with a century tube channel strip um singer songwriter is great uh the api just gives you a bit of sculpting and gain boosting option on top of that and then the 1176 and the la2a are quite nice sort of smoothing shaping gelling things also utterly exceptional is the capital no um actually capital chambers is great this is really good but the uh what's it called ocean reverb is flipping fantastic magic very good yeah there you go good luck yeah good luck have fun elena stacy hello elena hello elena hey dnm you say that you like analog modulation any thoughts about different kinds of tremolo does the type eg optical make a big difference absolutely um tremolo is so interesting so we did a tremolo pedal with jam a harmonic tremolo but the standard amplitude tremolo is is wonderful and again with all of you know with all the analog circuits those tiny little differences in the circuit actually make a big difference to the way the thing sounds the way it feels to play it's why there isn't you know only three tremolo circuits on the market but there are hundreds because those little differences do translate into the way that the you know how symmetrical that wave is and you can you know change a lot of that on the um you know on the pedals whether you know um how the wave falls in symmetry and uh just the just the nature of the sound thing yeah all that stuff makes it makes a difference it's actually worthy of a show because if you think i don't know if the first types of tremolo were output bias stands the reason that they may have been but anyway one one way of doing it in old amps is output bias so you vary the output bias of the output tubes which is what creates the the tremolo right so what else are you doing in that you're you're changing the whole relationship of everything through the amp by putting the output tubes up and down you know so the output transformer is doing a different job and that obviously has a very different effect on the sound than if there's a separate circuit in the amp an optical circuit um doing the tremendo in a different way so for sure it will make a big difference um we should do that show i want to do that show that i want to get a diamond yeah tremolo oil thing because they're flipping amazing yeah let's do it i think that would be so so so interesting because it is you know it's very easy to look at tremolo and go oh it's just turning the volume up and down but as you quite rightly suggest how you turn that volume up and down is a really big deal yep nice would be a good excuse to look at the latest stuff from um origin as well which we've been really slow on okay oh yes right yeah great is that do they do that as a separate thing now is that still part of the the preamp no there's two separate ones now right oh wow yeah yeah sorry we don't we're not the superchat is still on i turned it off twice that'll be bad technology it is interesting to turn super chat on you need to click one thing once to turn it off you need to click three things wow yeah yeah they're so annoying i was counseling on my social media accounts for this week and getting off facebook is kind of easy enough it takes a month right but getting off instagram some weird thing happened and it wouldn't let me do it and i tried it again because you wouldn't let me do it you're too handsome the world needs more images of you they don't want you to leave do they no and youtube definitely don't want us to turn the super chat off because they get 30 anyway not i'm i'm just just sorry i'm a little bit tired today yeah we had a big weekend mick and i went out with our wives on the weekend we did it was lovely we did we had a lovely time um okay okay everything's good and we are grateful for the superchats yes we are of course of course we are and yes so let's move along um uh sending love and appreciation again chaps the recent videos have been superb says josh thank you josh hello josh thank you josh um any experience with the origin magma57 there you go uh vibe and drive in one it's very tempting we don't actually have one and i would very much like one okay we'll get on the phone yeah what we need to do is get that we need to get a magnatone amp and we also need to get the um [Music] crazy tube circuits king v which we do have killer v right which okay is that as well fabulous is bubba's with my oh it's rosie hello hello baby dolls hello beautiful girl yes hello hello yes rosie's rosie's come back from uh from um from daycare so this is that pedal dog hello rosie poopins do you want to come say hello come say hello i know she's getting bigger now so she doesn't really like being picked up but come on look at the camera then rosie good girl there you go baby dog yes she's so pretty that little thing that was running around in here a year ago we've had you a year away hello i know i know my little baby dog have you had a nice day she's been with all her friends today at daycare yeah lovely okay off you go rose good girl oh bless her she's so good update yeah update uh where were we um yes we should do that josh certainly all the demos i've heard sound really good of it yeah yeah oh this stuff is so good killer yeah um for those of you don't know what we're talking about magnatone had a very specific type of vibrato in stereo now i'm guessing that the killer v doesn't and the magma 57 doesn't do stereo i don't think it does but it's a pitch vibrato rather than a harmonic tremolo which is a different thing so i think that would be a pretty interesting show yeah for sure yeah and plus the overdrive sound of it which is a very specific thing yep cool i missed you last week says justin bailog uh just want to say thanks for everything my board is almost complete that is the mantra that you'll have for the rest of your life uh as i've had it for the last you know what is almost there thanks justin really enjoyed your film by the way justin um sent us a link to a film he'd made in south america they were doing some stuff uh it was really very cool oh very good yeah yeah yep uh what a pretty dog says jimmy marchessotto thank you jimmy she is she's gorgeous she's a lovely dog uh good doggy says mr whit 30. uh gordon says rosie we received last friday a rescue tiny three-year-old chocolate cocker spaniel she's even named coco bean there is no off switch no well you uh gordon rankin gordon knows all about coca spaniels he's already got two so oh really yeah uh wow yeah congrats gordon i am for those of you who have dogs what i'm about to say will not be surprising but when we first got rosie i thought our life had ended you are hilarious now i literally cannot imagine life without her it's uh yeah she's amazing she's amazing yeah yeah happy days uh right um uh andrew pickup hey andrew hello andrew thanks for the wine mate andrew oh yes andrew came to our um our first experience day yeah and uh very kindly sent us some very nice wine yeah so thank you it's brilliant thank you very much it was enjoyed cheers buddy i figured i had to heed the number of times mika said front of the note and upgrade my three knob cali 76 it was decided by fate and i managed to get number 23 of the special tps run oh wow no cue just love nice legend khali 76 yeah i mean what a fantastic thing doesn't get much better than that what a fantastic thing and so the the point of saying front of the note is if you run it with a bit of the dry signal and you get the front of your note back which you may want or you may not want but it's nice to have the option yeah yeah definitely nice to hear from you andrew yeah uh the bexseller the bexseller says hey guys i know direct tones aren't your favorite but your insight is always appreciated some of us mere mortals can't turn up like we want to and as dan said that's the problem thanks again totally yeah i mean me and dan don't do very many gigs anymore that's that's the truth of the matter and i think if we did we would probably be facing these problems more often than we are that said the gigs that we do do i don't have anyone telling me to turn down no so i was out in where was it uh cheltenham a few weeks ago when i had dinner with the friends we walked past three venues with three live bands awesome all of them cranking loud making noises and it was wonderful yeah so this you know i would also say that the reason i left my last band was because it was too impressively loud i mean it was awful there was no dynamic in the band at all there's a difference between just being loudly outside and being dynamic that's that's what it's about it's about light and shade and having the power to have the light and shade indeed and have somewhere to go but what so funny listen to the radio this morning that everyone in media at the moment is talking about attention span not just at the moment but obviously it's a big the way the internet has sort of chopped stuff up they were actually talking about adele as our spotify not to shuffle her record right they she wants people to listen to it yeah and they had a few people on going that ship has sailed love um people are going to consume media how they want you know no one's got an attention span anymore no one has got the time to sit down and listen to a record huh but just after six thanks dan dan came over on saturday night we talked last week but i listened to a classical record for the first time in ages symphony fantastique by berlioz and i put it on i said dad listen to this and i i had to go and run the dog around outside and i put it on and i bet you were going can you turn it up a bit and then when the flipping and the yeah all comes in when it all comes in it's like man and people don't have the a digital audio streamed into headphones and little um thingy boxes can't handle that dynamic range they just they can't do it and b who the hell's got the time to sit there and listen to a 50-minute recording it is a it's a different experience it's something that you can't do passively yeah you've got to be actively involved in sitting down and experiencing it you know unless you've you know making martinis and you've got it on it's just like lovely yeah if it is background music let it be background music yeah but if you're gonna sit down put the vinyl on and just sit down and just you know i i anyway sorry yeah um so uh no uh the bexella it is a problem when you can't turn up so you need to find another solution and if that's the solution and it works and it keeps you playing brilliant happy days yeah the happiest of days yep mt it's me um hey dan and mick happy monday if that such a thing exists indeed exist you're twisting my melon man um was that them was that the happy mother's yeah bears he only danced he didn't sing no but didn't he did say you're twisting my mouth there's no anyway oh i think he had maracas you're probably right i don't know i don't know that dan could be right he could be right i'm not right uh i need to breathe mate i'm out of breath um i was wondering if you guys have played around with using a tape recorder says mt uh tascam porter studio for example as an overdrive interesting the first delay i ever used was at my when i was a kid a really good mate um milsie andrew mills mills milsie ando anyway uh his dad owned a hi-fi shop and he had this amazing reel to reel and andrew was really tech and he turned the reel-to-reel into a tape delay oh well but we used the preamp in the reel-to-reel to get some overdrive and i'd come over and i had my kramer my little um striker two oh striker by kramer i should say no work for a craver and i'd plug into this tape delay and he'd crank it and that's all the all the distortion everything was from the pram and the tape delay and of course you have this tape echo and i would sit there for hours just making whale noises and stuff you know it was brilliant so only when i was a kid but oh man some astonishing sounds there and of course we you know talk about the preamp in the um the tape echoes such as the uh yeah the ep three three and all that stuff and they can be 201 wonderful wonderful guys actually i wonder if there's a bit of interest there because loads of that old recording tech is you know salvageably cheap uh some of it that that's famous is expensive but there's plenty of that old recording tech that you could probably pick up for next to nothing yeah it might be a good way to get into mods and stuff yeah yeah yeah interestingly the strymon valente has the um drum echo setting it's also got a tape setting but it's also got a higher five studio tape setting isn't it yeah for its delay sounds yeah yeah interesting interesting very good tb kenny t.b kenny kenny uh i just recently received my sun face which is an rca bart version it sounds epic fully cranked but there's no cleanup curve anything less than full volume on my telly drops to nothing instantly what's going on here so as soon as you roll back anything from your telly all the overdrive is supposed to go away that's what first face does but it you should still have the transient there so it shouldn't you shouldn't lose all the volume as well it might be that you've got a because all the thickness and the overdrive and all that massive is going away it might feel like all the volume's gone away as well um but it should just clean up nicely there is uh inside your sun face uh an internal resistance input resistance yep control which you can tweak backwards and forwards which will affect that relationship indeed very much so and if it's got sundial with the bias knob that will also affect that relationship yep absolutely anything more so now that you've nailed it right well done yeah so good should tweak tweak those two knobs and you you might find there's quite a significant difference but one of the great things about the sun face and great first faces in general is they do exactly what you say when you turn them down if you don't want that go for a tone bender and don't think that by don't think that the volume that that your volume knob relates to the volume of the pedal it really doesn't it's like you know you're not going to turn down 50 and then your pedal is going to be 50 quieter it doesn't work like that you go back to nine from ten to nine and then all the gains gone yeah and it's literally you know tiny degrees so just be really sensitive with your volume control interesting with strats too on a strat i've i pretty much never go below about seven depending on what the pedal is maybe six but on a les paul or my casino i can be down to two yeah yeah yeah and it'd still be plenty loud enough strat's completely gone below five for me personally yeah yeah uh albert band hi mate he says aaron my leggings i hope you're well and i thought i'd share a new combo that's working well with my setup jhs twin 12 and a walrus 385 oh lovely we like the twin 12 yeah brilliant yeah and the walrus yep i like the super bowl as well that jhs is magic yeah yeah that was this real surprise that yeah nice nice well done 385 love the 385 by walrus if you've not heard that give it a listen it's a take on the old cinema overdrive um very cool very very cool uh brian garcia new cab day says brian oh nice new cab day i just ordered a stagecraft d style cab that'll load with wgs 12 l and a 2 rock 1265b that was an interesting combination i'd like to hear that uh using a harness that lets me go back and forth between the two or combine them thanks mick for your cab advice uh in prior q a's that sounds like a really nice cab that brian yeah awesome yeah it's so funny when you see those dumb style cabs the two rock one by 12 especially there's almost no back on it yeah right it's just so open yeah yeah with the oval cutout yeah my bob bert one by twelves have got that big oval yeah cut out it's the thing on that note some people were saying well of course the tube amp sounds better from friday's video it's way louder because the db meter was reading louder for the tube amp actually where we were stood it was roughly the same i think what might have been happening was number one the amp was nearer yeah number two the amp is almost entirely open back hot rod deluxe whereas that pa cab is designed to shoot forward and shoot forward only yeah so i think the db meter was probably getting more out the back of the hot rod which made it seem like it was much louder where we were sat they were awarded really similar yeah very much so uh djt djt i just met roman of schnobletone with his recent line of pedals including the nifty buffer bypass for switching in and out pedals that don't play well with buffers he's a super nice guy hope to see some on tps yeah we like roman yeah we met him a few times at nam shows and things i like what he's done he's just quietly been doing his own thing he brought a range of cool stuff a light achiever yeah yeah i like it yeah so we met him in them and uh nam's of course in america tangenting here yeah and we've got some american news oh nice done you like that yeah so on the qt this is for all of our um q a fans on a monday vcq fans on a monday something's happening tomorrow something's happening called that pedal shop it's kind of a big deal it is a bit of a big deal but we're not we're not doing a big fanfare launch because we want to just let it out into the world quietly while it gets up and running um as those of you who watch regularly will know we have preferred retailer links anderson's in the uk pedal empire in australia and it's been a couple of people in the u.s either sweetwater or city when they were going we have had the opportunity of working with a partner with fairly serious reach in the u.s they call retail solutions and they have four distribution centers dotted across the u.s and what we offering dan so when you get there it'll say that pedal shop is us but it's fulfilled and supplied by them most of your favorite brands will be in there and there'll be more as time goes on and the cool things are there's so many um the cool things that we've got 95 percent coverage of the lower 48 states yes within and generally with it if it's in stock if it's in stock one to two days yeah so that's pretty serious fast free shipping over fifty dollars yep um and customer service by people who know what they're talking about yeah on the very phone so it's a big deal for us i mean it's a leap into something pretty massive um and the point of doing it is as you know we do that preferred retailer stuff to earn money because what we don't do on tps is take money to feature stuff or do any product placement or anything like that or sponsorship and it just funds us and it helps us do more with the show because we need to pay dougie we need to pay dougie if you've been with us since the beginning you will have seen the ambition of the show grow and grow and grow and we've got some big ideas for what we'd really like to do but those things are quite expensive so we do need to make a bit more money we do make money off the merchant stuff which is how we pay the bills but we need to make significantly more money to do what we want to do next so um so yeah look out for that pedal shop it will go live i think we're going to say 10 am uk time tomorrow which is sometime in the early afternoon i think it is at 10 a.m est yeah um oh yeah easter 10 a.m eastern standard time okay so yeah 10 a.m in new york but it'll be uh it's three later here 3 p.m yeah we missed anything dan um i don't believe so the oh the other thing is there'll be bit of content on the site so when you get there uh we'll build that as it as it goes but there will be it will be quite a content rich environment so there'll be lists of stuff to look at links to videos tips and tricks all that kind of stuff you want to build that over time so that it's not just a shop it's um you know it's a good it's a good resource for information will you be able to buy tps merch not yet that may come in time at the moment it's pedals and stuff and you know all the stuff you would expect yeah that's great it's exciting so yeah let us know let us know what you think have a look tomorrow yeah yeah mike's done an amazing job mick and catherine have just knocked out the park um i've made coffee on the occasions that i'm in actually i've poured coffee and not always very well yeah so have a look see what you think um we'll see as always with tps it's like let's push it into the water see if it floats insert titanic joke here um eric move over love there's plenty of room on that door now you know what i'm good eric zenhowzer and sorry it's a bit of a macabre joke about the titanic everyone always takes a mic out of the titanic forgetting that lots of people lost their lives on the titanic they did yeah catherine's coming to say you got all that wrong just please don't say anymore oh i didn't yeah did you say it was us only it's us yeah we did we did for our american friends we needed to make it more explicit so this is us only yes us only in the united states of america yes good um eric zenhausen cheers a guitar player that's recently set up a direct board with a simplifier base station i already own a lot of guitar effects which guitar pedals work well with bass are there any must-have specific bass pedals well eric i'm glad you asked oh very good very good yeah so these are the pedals that we used uh filming with the bass there's a couple new pedals from ampeg and oh my goodness they sound amazing um of course the ripley fall as always just continues to inspire and be epic but just the the chorus and phaser on the bass far right yeah it's not a specific bass pedal that i i don't know if jam actually jam do do some base specific pedals we just use the guitar one sounds awesome sounds amazing but for me bass essential pedals are compressor [Music] and for that we've used that ampeg one and i think it sounds brilliant amazing certainly made the playing experience really nice yep notes i do that when i play the bass um the bass overdrive really high bass overdrives are interesting because they work at a different range of frequencies in guitar overdrive so it probably is worth getting a bass specific overdrive um a filter so we use the source audio spectrum and it's just ace fun to have a filter whether it's bootsy style stuff or all right well all right or an octave down we're alright uh which is just great i mean you wouldn't think what's great about that one is it's bootsy's uncle dave isn't it all right it also because because of the nature i mean i don't understand how these things work but when you play the the octave down on one of those filters it also puts a bit of like gritty synthy horrible overdriving on it and it's just fantastic so compressor overdrive and filter is is what the these two non-bass players would uh would go for and then we added the chorus and if you do your pinot paladino harmonics jacko harmonix it's like oh my god i am jaco paladino what was they calling me in the last video pinot cappuccino so yeah that's all with that those would be our suggestions um we'll get the pads to run uh paddy blight who plays bass in the tps band to explain that properly uh at some point and indeed play the bass properly at some point but for now dan and i are really enjoying slapping the bass slapping the bass it's so much fun yeah yeah um the buddy system long time bedroom player i started a band a year ago nice finally playing my first gig at the age of 30. a punk band with lots of pedals come on any first-time gig advice yes um don't drink until after the gig would be my first bit of advice because you can get really really excited and then uh yeah just do yourself a favor keep clear-headed afterwards go for your life i don't know how you actually do this that what i'm about to say but you've got to find a way of doing all the work beforehand that needs to be done yeah yeah yeah and when it comes to the time where no more work can be done stop worrying about it yeah and and i say this after 30 years of not being able to do that and i've just in the last year or two thanks in part to a fairly major psychological shift in my brain in general i'm now able to go there's the cutoff now we go yeah and whatever stage of prep you're at at that point you know you might not be able to quite remember the chords in one of the songs or you might still need your song sheet or ipad or something to remember the lyrics or you're not quite sure about this sound or you know you're a bit nervous you you you just have to let it go and in tandem with that remember the audience are on your side yeah they're willing they want you to be good yeah they really do um so yeah just try a bit like probably don't know if you've had a wedding day dan and i have both had wedding days the thing that everyone says it was such a lovely day darling the things people always say to you is try and remember it freak my mum out though try and enjoy it because you can be all up in your head about all the stuff that's going on and actually what you just need to be is in the moment and enjoying it and i would say of your first gig if you can do that you've done pretty well it will go so quick yeah it will you'll be stunned how fast the gig goes yeah so yeah as mick said get all your work done after that point and then just relax and have fun yeah because it is fun it is so my brother started uh gigging again and he calls me says why didn't you tell me it was this much fun you know and i said because then it would have been poor like me um but he's like he is stunned at just how much fun it is you know it's one of the most fun things you can do so yeah yeah stressful better have fun but yeah let us know how you go yeah please do yeah and good luck yeah good luck man good luck what a great thing what a great thing uh tim good hi dnm tim good uh the other guitar player in my band uses a helix and i use either my trainer 40 or 60 watt deville depending on the venue it's always a struggle to hear him no matter what we did do you have any tips buy your friend a trainer um it's ah it's really it's really hard it's really hard it's one of those things right okay if there's any constellation i can barely hear dan when we do the tps band gigs that's just about monitoring yeah it's if i'm stood here and i've got my am blowing my head off and dougie's symbols blowing my head off and i've got my monitor whacking at me for vocals sometimes i can barely hear dan yeah and you just gotta trust that it's okay yeah um however i do think there's an additional problem with the kind of sounds those digital things produce which is a very weird mid-range and it's always weird for me personally um they one of the reasons they sound so great is because they sound pretty hi-fi loads of bass always loads of bass and a weird treble because it's filtered but the mids are quite often pretty scoopy which is one of the reasons they sound so damn good because they sound like produced music but in order to be heard you need those ugly mid-range peaks and i'm not saying those devices aren't capable of that because clearly they are they've got very full and capable eq systems i just think it takes a brave person to dial them in because they tend not to come set that way sure and so on stage monitoring how you're hearing that is it you know is it directly in the front of house and you're getting bit through the monitors because that can be problematic um i think ultimately though oh man if you what am i trying to say your sound could be too thick and massive and completely drowning them out if you if what you're after is two guitar sounds they're going to really complement each other and and that's what you're worried about then you know you need to get into a rehearsal room together and work that out treat it as one instrument exactly if what you're what if but if you've already done that and it sounds great but things change when you get live on stage then you need to look at how his sound is being produced on stage and it might just be that he needs his full range speaker to be turned up or you need some more of that in your monitors whatever you just need to sort of approach it um [Music] sort of as systematic as you can trying to you know get those tones to work so that you can hear what's going on as well it is challenging with that stuff um it's really interesting right this conversation i had with my very dear friend paul stacy about i said why is it that when i go to a sound check and the drummer can be belting ten shades of crap out of his kit some guys they're going yeah man it sounds really good kick drum like it's going to take your heart yeah oh it's too loud turn it down because that sound it's not a pleasant thing yeah yeah yeah and i think a lot of drums all 50 hertz 4k it's 10k it's nice exactly but where the guitar sits in the mid-range it's it's not pleasant the guitar sounds that work in those mixers and they just sit beautifully aren't pleasant what happens though i think with a lot of that stuff that we can turn on at home and everything that just sounds so lovely that lovely sound doesn't necessarily translate when you put it in a band context and that's one of the things we're trying to get across with the band things you know making that stuff work on its own some of those sounds can be really harsh but when you hear them in the mix it's like it just makes perfect sense um so you know it might just he might just need to dial back some bottom men put a bit more mids in there it could be that simple but best of luck mate best of luck it's a it is a challenge adam lawrence says i think the thing about monitoring at a gig is you just need to accept that it will sound weird yeah and bad and you won't be able to hear everyone it's sad but true yeah i think that's right um adam and the more you do it the more you kind of get used to that and the more you sort of i don't know what the analogy is but it's not a perfect that's probably why there was so much um i'm trying to put this in a positive way without using the phrase butthurt there were so many people passionately defending their approach to direct sounds and i think one of the reasons is for that is because it sounds so flipping good sounds like produced monitors and produced music in your iems and you know a really belting band doesn't sound like that a belting band can sound pretty angular and difficult sometimes and i think uh sorry um i've lost you adam i think adam that's exactly what you're saying and you do get used to that yeah but then if you again musical style makes such a difference you know i totally understand why a lot of metal bands have gone direct only because that cacophony of constant noise i mean i'm not saying metal bands don't have dynamic but a lot of them do play with quite a lot of hammering stuff quite a lot of the time it's just horrible it's horrible to be in the middle of it any sort of volume but a different style of music played with more kind of really serious light and shade diff whole different experience best of luck mate yep yeah um atb pop atb pop hello cheers mates just wanted to say thanks for making my overnight shifts better over the last few months ah bless you i'm going back to days next week and looking forward to getting to watch tps and see the sun again good on you well done mate much respect for anyone who does shift work that is hard boy boy yeah not not just the nocturnal nature of it but also the effect it has on your you know your relationships and your family and the people around you and all that it's tough work tough work when i was when i was playing friday saturday nights and there were late gigs right especially in australia but even everything is doing out here and we might have it you know we'd finish a gig at one in the morning pack up and there's a two hour drive home i wouldn't get home until four yeah right and you do that uh on a friday saturday night there's you don't wake up until mid afternoon sunday the weekend with you know it has impacts everywhere you know working like that a massive massive respect for for anyone that does it yes yeah um i hope you enjoyed being back on the days atb thanks for your thanks for everything uh stephen joseph he says main thing i've learned from you both is don't compromise just for convenience be inspired keep it up man that perfect well done i do reading through the comments on friday's video and i i try to not be disrespectful to anybody because everyone does it their own way and like that is the most important thing and it's totally cool it's all good that's that's the that's the start point but after that it does feel like some people hate playing because they know what you mean it's like oh god i've got to walk up the stairs i've got to carry out why do i want to carry my amps and then the drummer hates me and i don't get paid enough and and then i've got to drive three hours home so there's just no point carrying an amp and i'm like wow well okay um we should be having a different conversation i don't think the amp is the problem here so yeah i think you're right you know we dan and i are in very very fortunate position of being able to do this thing purely purely because we love it yeah you know it's not a job um it's not like we're getting hired to go and play you know in a pit or whatever it's purely for fun and enjoyment and i don't know about you lot but there are many areas in my life in which i am forced to compromise yeah largely through income and it's like well why would i compromise this thing that i love more than almost anything in the world why yeah i don't get it i don't get why you would why you would compromise yeah we're here for a good time not a long time yeah yeah i certainly understand practicality going on tour tour manager says nope you go okay i'll find another way but if i've got my car and i'm driving myself and i can stick a 412 in the boot hello damn tootin it's going in there hello and the sound person looks at you funny and you say if i tilt it this way will that work and maybe i can buy you a drink sir and you just you have that merry dance don't you that's how that works i i remember ten spirits through this gig in london this tiny little pub dave and i both had the mattresses on stage and we're giving it the beans it was just great and especially like an old boozer these guys at the bar you know with their flagons of you know ale and um and we knew that that key was just for us no one else we had the best time i remember getting off stage i was with dougie this guy he got something against boy i like to be the old music a bit of the old music oh it was wonderful that was wonderful yeah it ought to be fun didn't it ought to be fun yeah um yeah jimmy martial says this show just reeks with wisdom thank you both so much thanks jimmy that's classic well that's yeah wisdom is one word for it age is another perhaps i don't know um [Laughter] um right moving along um vibes patil nice to hear from you he says gents i've got a one-off gig coming up well i have no amp and i don't have a modeller what do you think about going uh direct front of house using a cab sim of the big sky uh tone shaping pedals on my board unit 67 king of tone friedman beod um i didn't know the big sky biggest guy had a cab has a capsule in it use it that will do 90 of your work for you yeah i would imagine yeah yeah and then let the the engineer as long as you can get something workable back through your mons so you can hear what's going on let them worry about it yep yeah great option yep have fun buddy that's the thing you know when you are when you've got a limited range of options yeah uh then you just gotta go with it you've just got to go and try and have fun yeah or indeed no don't try and have fun just tap yeah there is no try there is do or do not as indeed a friend of ours once said yep so have fun very good uh jeffrey raddick hello jeffrey thanks gents thank you jeffrey when i play quietly through my pedalboard rig i'm either often too quiet or too distorted and the distortion is unpleasant yes yes any suggestions turn up yeah either turn the distortion down or the guitar see what's happening there is you're hearing all the monkey muk you're hearing all the mucky muck you're hearing all the stuff that's produced in the pedal the overdrive which is very nice can be very nice but what's then not happening is you're not getting that harmonic interplay of what needs to happen afterwards which is you know hopefully a speaker and some stuff to give it a bit of richness feedback through the guitar and all of that so that's what you're missing there um i guess some form of compression could help um and if you get a compressor run it after your overdrives make sure there's a bit of dry mix in there that might give you a bit more feel and a bit more sponge and in your case if you run it with less mix it might be that it takes away some of the unpleasantness of the front of those notes maybe but if you can get a little bit more volume a little bit less gain that tends to be where it starts to yeah yeah that'll make a big difference um just and it all comes back to understanding gain stages because with your distortion on 10 and your amp on 10 is a very different thing than distortion on 10 amp on 2 um you know they they there's interaction with those gain stages and understanding that the first gain stage is here so yeah if you get to grips with what's happening gain staging as far as your rig is concerned then it'll really help you get on top of why certain things will sound much at a certain volume at another volume that'll sound too strident and harsh it's just about understanding game stages it's all interactive yeah that's the thing it's an ecosystem isn't it totally that's one of those things why having pedals at your feet is such a great thing when you're at a gig because if you make an adjustment on your amplifier no doubt you'll probably have to adjust something with you know a couple of your game stages as well um [Music] you know what when we do gigs and things sort of pick up towards the end of the night and drama starts hitting a bit harder bass player thinks going to give it some i think i need another octave down exactly and you might need to adjust things yeah just be aware that adjust one thing it affects everything else yeah yeah i feel your pain though definitely feel your pain i've had a revelation of of late that i pretty much always use too much gain in my whole life and it's like easing back on it and all of a sudden you can hear the guitar and the edge of the pick and all those things actually if you listen to some of your favorite records and you listen to them sort of actively as it were you might be surprised how some of those massive distortion sounds you thought were there actually aren't that massive and distorted yeah also soak it in delay and reverb that helps a lot indeed indeed good luck mate um if you want some ideas on delay watch this shot at this shy days this friday show um happy shout outs where we do we give you six suggestions of how to use delay in your band on the guitar it's actually i'm really pleased with how it went oh man it was so much fun yes if it edits together as as well as it felt when we were doing it then i think it would be a really useful show yeah yeah and some nice noises too indeed we have a thousand people watching us at the moment oh thank you thank you all for hanging around with us it's lovely yeah yeah how amazing it is amazing it never seems to be amazing lcvol 73 lcvol 73 says hey guys are you still using the princeton what are your thoughts on swapping the speaker for a more headroom uh either a 10 or a 12 and what speaker would you choose um we're definitely still using the princeton i want to get a celestion gold in there i would definitely love the 10 inch format um princeton with a 12 inch speaker is of course wonderful and we know loads of people have great results with that but there's something about that 10 inch sound with that thing i just think it's wonderful so yeah we're going to get a celestion gold and slap it in there but it's just such a classic amplifier we had to have it as part of our arsenal yes if you want more headroom what you need to look for is a speaker with a high higher power handling capacity and one that has a higher efficiency or sensitivity rating um the power bit's easy to understand because that will be expressed as a wattage the sensitivity uh is expressed as db at one meter so you'll see you know i don't know it might be 97 db if it was a celestia in greenback or it might be a 100 db if it's a celestial gold i think off the top of my head could be wrong the higher that db rating the more efficient that speaker is and the more volume you'll get out of it for the same amount of um from the amp which is to suggest that maxing out the power and the efficiency will be the best thing possible there's a cutoff point where the amp start will start to stand sterile because what you end up with is a 600 watt pa speaker with no loving it whatsoever yeah so um yeah that's a bunch of options yeah yeah that's the challenge in those really high headroom amplifiers is to make them sound like amplifiers with character that's why yeah that's why the t-rex needs to be turned up yeah um but you know that's that and the high watt you can still get a reasonable volume where it still has loads of headroom but still has there's a character over there still doesn't sound like you're plugging into a piece check out some of the um eminence uh speakers they do some nice higher powered ones um but we're pretty settled on the celestian arnico gold it is expensive unfortunately yeah that's just yeah magic surprise surprise david austolone david ashtoloni no question from you so i will just check if bv has sent me a question from you steve rennie asks uh meat feast later um wait uh no no we're not filming tomorrow i'm not staying at mix tonight we're gonna uh but i'll have my own solo meat feast i think when i get home there's always a meat fish on a monday um yeah okay nothing from you david hopefully if there is one we'll find it in a sec apologies if we've missed you um yeah ian fan hello ian hey ian i play in church with iems and i use the iridium not my favorite but it works [Music] if i were to use an iso box what is a good con what is a good option for the long cable run okay so you need a long speaker cable long speaker cable yeah um yes the the long speaker cable is interesting because if you think of it's all about the resistance in the cable right um because what's happening with the output transformer uh transforming it from um transforming the the power from the valves into power to to move the speaker and you know whether it's four ohms 16 ohms eight ohms my suggestion would be that if you've got a seriously long uh run from your amp to your iso cab if your amplifier's got a 16 ohm setting and you can find a 16mm speaker that you like um it will be least affected by any resistance in the cable um i mean eight ohms should be fine a little bit more wary of four ohms because like percentage-wise it will be the most affected um yeah there you go i'm gonna say demo demo one of these they're great um iso cab is gonna cost you a fair bit of money that's expensive so demo one yeah have a listen to it i watched the uh country music awards yesterday sunday right everyone had oxbox seriously wow yeah interesting yep so that means you can run your head into it you can run it at zero i think please tell me you can run it at zero i think you can run it to zero silently ah they all using the last reverbs quite a lot of deluxe reverbs quite a lot of orange jams because that's what that's yeah hold on right there yeah and i think that will so then that offers you it's a little more convoluted because you have to use an app with it and all the rest of it actually you don't have to use the app you can load it in there and you don't need to take the app with you you can send a really nice balanced xlr to you can you yes oh that's a really good point i'm not sure if you can no you have to send a jack to your is it balanced though front of house it must be i can't believe that it's not no to your front of house um and it sounds really really really good in my opinion i would much happier use my guitar amp head into that than i would the iridium personally just purely personally speaking yeah that could be a good halfway house and um it's an amazing bit of kit yeah so it's really wonderful i think so my recording solution that i have at home is a grossman isocab and i've got the most amazing results out of that thing the thing that's important to know though is that it's not completely silent it reduces the level by about 30 plus db which is substantial that should be enough i mean you'd your singer's louder than that yeah yeah totally without a microphone yeah but it's not like it won't be no nothing is it's still a bit there so my point being if you find a 69 or even an 8 ohm speaker and you've got to run a long cable that'll be fine uh i'm less about four ohms more challenging because the any amount of resistance in that is going to have more of an effect on the um the loading between the apple transformer over the amplifier and the speaker um but yeah just run the you know eight ohms or 16 ohms in the back of the amplifier and you'll be golden hope that helps yeah good luck um david lemon he says hello from sacramento california thanks for everything thank you david that's very kind of you and likewise sam webster says the purpose of this message is to support the show not to take up time in case it's running out oh mate that's so cold that's very kind of you think thank you buddy that's very kind thank you ranzer is on hello ran he says hello leggings you mentioned last vcq that you both love the mercury 7. i recently got it and i'm curious how you use it thanks for all you do and much love right okay mercury 7. um the guys from maris brilliant brilliant bunch of guys as well uh the algorithm from the uh that's not the agreement for the mercury seven they they did the they also did the algorithm in the cxm 1978 which is a collaboration between them and chase this chestnut audio so anyway the maris it's a reverb inspired by the reverb sounds from blade runner which think about those old reverb units that haven't that all the old um is it the no it's not at least it's the um the reverb sounds from blade runner which is what the cxm was also based on but oh yes the lexicon lexicon thank you um can i just say yes sorry on the last question where i'm talking about the ox lots of people have chimed in quite rightly brook chive official has said the boss was a tube amp expander is also an excellent option yeah it is has more actually has more um software options and loads of people the corner cosmic kj doug floyd um lots of other people saying uh captur x yeah by two notes of course the capture x any lots and lots of those two notes products definitely worth looking at alongside the ox jason's jason's going to come down he's got one for us playing with so that'd be good i'm saying the ox because it's the one i have the most familiarity with and i like the interface et cetera yeah yeah great face um where was i uh you were talking about um uh the lexicon 240 oh yes so yes the the maris um the yeah right um it's the most amazing thing so basically you've got an ultra plate and an ultra cathedral so massive plate reverb massive hall reverb for standard um like my favorite thing for just a normal everyday river is a plate reverb for guitar you know i i don't like well very rarely do i hear a spring emulation on a pedal that i think oh yeah that'll do because the spring reverb and guitars are so good but the plate reverbs astonishing so normally i will have it on a plate reverb i will have for standard i'll have like no shimmer no none of that stuff and quite warm because there's a lot of detail on the top end of that thing so it's just one thing to be aware of because if you want to do massive soundscape type reverbs you need that detail but first for you know standard i'm going to have to play whatever i just did a bit of reverb just turn the top end down um and then and sort of mix to taste and if you grew up in the 70s 80s or 90s especially the 80s or the 90s you've probably heard play reverb on most of your favorite yeah guitar tracks on recorded music that's why i think it sounds so familiar isn't it absolutely yeah um now you can do the same thing with the hall it's obviously a different sound i just love the guitar with the with that plate reverb now one thing i'm doing um with that reverb pedal because there's a number of different modes and you know getting the uh each knob's got the secondary function on it and getting the pre-delay right and the modulation and all that sort of stuff but oh my goodness that swell function in that pedal is it is incr absolutely incredible and i like the yesterday i was playing with it with my board at home and i must have been on that for like an hour and you use that with an expression pedal yeah no i just know you put the swell on right and you play and you go it goes and then i'm i'm just so i'm just in dan cordland doing this stuff and it's like oh it's just like well there's there's the next album that's it that's it it's just remarkable i've told joey he has to get one as well i only ever use two sounds in a digital reverb pedal one is the plate like dan's talking about so i have two i've i'll have two presets one is um a room short room and i'll use that for rock and roll and just the the room sound which i've come to be totally addicted to and then the second one will be a bigger plate so if you play something with a bit more space in the mix and you've got to play some big chords or some long sustained notes a nice plate and even better if you've got a expression pedal on the depth you can then you can ride that as to what it is you want to be playing so if you are playing something you know the mix gets a little denser and you're playing something a bit more complex you can just ride the volume the reverb level back a bit and then when it comes to that section where everyone goes breathe out or you play a big thing with you know three notes over eight bars reverb yeah yeah and well you you'll hear a little bit of it even though we do it with delay you'll hear a little bit of that effect in friday's show yeah where that ambience in a sparse mix has really got room to do its thing you know sure if you're playing the dear old shoegaze or some psychedelia or other other really cool music that's just drowned in reverb then yes you want loads of riva but in sort of general rock and pop music with a dense mix lots of reverbs problematic yeah certainly if it's loud so anyway enjoy yeah it's wonderful wonderful enjoy and then um i suppose the mercury seven does all those octave all the shimmer stuff all the harmony stuff it's that's the reason that's the reason so i've that has replaced the cxm on my board for doing because i'm getting the sounds together for this new band and you know obviously i love the csm i just wanted some more modulation some more options with the reverb i went oh hang on and i put it on it's like that's it and all that swell stuff oh man it's just wonderful yep yep really wonderful uh guitar guitar mug says salu i have a soul mate soulmate spring reverb which needs 12 volts ac i've put a wall wall under my board but it causes noise in other pedals do you have any suggestions yeah so man either you 12 volts ac is that the sum is that the t-rex one um that's called roommate i think oh yes of course sell my 12 volts ac um yeah oh yeah they do do a soulmate as well right so yeah it's a oh man ac the soul mate is the big the soul mate is the big uh acoustic board the roommate is the reverb isn't it yeah anyway regardless regardless right so you got a big transformer on that and that's you know kicking out loads of emf and stuff and that will cause can cause issues um you either find a place on the board you know literally get the board powered up put that on an extension lead just that supply and move it around the board until you find a position that sounds okay the only other option really is to find a power supply that has an integrated ac part [Music] and yeah that's really your only other option apart from having the that power supply off the board and with that transformer moved far away from the board and that's not a bad option if what if it's really noisy it's just not as convenient but that's yeah yeah you can there's there's things like moo metal do you not do a 12 volt ac adapter no no no everything we do is dc um can you spell ac dc well i love anything abdc yeah but yeah good luck with me it's it's it's a pain the thing that's a pain is all that stuff as soon as it gets in there it goes through um [Music] uh some sort of rectifier to put into dc anyway so it's like i don't understand anyway yes good luck best of luck to you is it a way of getting more current that you can be yeah you can be that's often the problem yeah um we just should mention joe heffer joe heffer says please could we have a moment of appreciation for my girlfriend rosie who's uh just bought me a proco rat for christmas ah legend nice sounds like a keeper mate yeah and spoiled the surprise i would say what is it darling oh it's a rat very good awesome nice one rosie i bet joe is super happy with his rat yeah well done nice son um please apologize to catherine says stephen fines uh from forgetting to put my t-shirt size in a d m drive order and not responding to her email in time don't worry stephen catherine can be seen uh stomping up and down the office with snorting unhappy noises out of her nose when people don't respond to emails about t-shirts it's our fault for not making it more clear um anyway thank you for buying the dnm yeah thank you very much and we hope that the t-shirt situation has been sorted and you get it in time and you like it thank you very much yeah just to reiterate lovely christmas teas in stock yeah nice christmas t-shirts rudolph the led nose reindeer yeah who wouldn't who wouldn't want to be wearing this around the table with your ground going i don't get it yeah i don't care my girl might be saying that macabre insert my carb joke here um she would do though she would she would do that she would if it were playing through a plane enough of that one that's enough for that one i took dan's advice uh on clean boosts after delay says david rustad um to the extreme and put together a cali 76 thorpy heavy water and jhs color box version 2 at the end of the board i love it thank you post delay reverb well done great nice so what that means is for anyone who doesn't get that if you put the boost before your reverb delay when you hit the boost obviously it sends the delay and reverb into more delay and reverb because you're giving it more signal so you get your little delay there that you really like you put a boost in and it goes all right hey yeah whereas if you put the boost after all it does is make the whole thing louder yeah uh and it has is a different effect so a nice one david oh it comes back together staging well done mate thank you conor renshaw hello connor he says hello gents recently went to get my dream acoustic a beautiful martin triplo 18. very nice i went to your page to find videos on acoustics and there's dan playing a very similar 18. cheers for great taste well stay tuned for a really great acoustic guitar video dan's having an acoustic guitar built at the moment yep by the one and only mr johnny concave which is very exciting actually i hope that is the trigger to us doing a few more acoustic vids because people have been asking for them yeah you know bear in mind we are neither preston reed nor um uh eric roach but uh preston marriage we can flap around yeah and we'll do so yep like a plastic bag on a barbed wire fence flapping in the breeze michael hedges i was thinking of as well and uh adrian leg i was thinking of tommy emmanuel i was thinking of we're none of those people no no um hr 21 i love you both says hr 21. thank you love you too hr thank you i was born in the early 70s but i didn't grow up listening to the likes of adc led zeppelin or anything similar due to cultural differences yeah so i'm right there with you mate now i get stuck on what to learn to play help please ah that is so interesting okay right it's really important i found it really important at least um when i was growing up and there were loads of people loads of uh instructional videos and things to help you play like really common rock songs but i didn't have any of those in my um vocab i didn't know you know that stuff yeah so what i did was worked out songs that i was introduced and that i really liked um and i think one of the really important things when i was growing up is that i did that all by ear and it sort of it helped me develop my ear so obviously you're into music you can learn anything it doesn't necessarily have to be you know songs you can take any piece of music that you like and and approach it work out where to put your fingers to make those sounds on guitar um yeah there you go [Music] um dan and i were talking just last week about the rich cannon of pop music that's just full of great melodies and chords and sounds so as he said you obviously love music or you at least like music so learn to play the music that you like yeah um and you're not going to be able to play all of it because most of it's flipping hard but it's a good you know a good start and if i don't know um when i was studying music there was this amazing uh classical musician from japan and every year he'd do uh he'd take like an orchestra piece and work out ways to play it on guitar and he'd do things like in the middle of a thing he'd crossed two strings over and he'd make a snare sound and like and it'd take a year to put this piece together wow um it's absolutely incredible yeah i mean you could say not having that burden of that's very true um very true that all that stuff that we listen to histrionic burden um could be of great advantage because you have the opportunity to do something original and and free but yeah the internet's full of really great learning resources yeah um we would recommend truefire.com i certainly get one whenever i want to do a course i usually get it from there yeah me too i got my um a couple years ago got the pep martino course from that oh pat may he rest in peace oh man um good luck anyway yeah best of luck man look more the best uh shenanigans yes nice i thought that was going to be a uranus joke there but not quite um from norway says do you think a preamp pedal like a kingsley or victory v4 could improve the go direct experience yes yes how much it will improve it is an interesting question it might so like i said before the thing sonically yes it might make a difference and there's a bunch of stuff that you can do sonically to make a difference the issue for me was more about playing it playing at a level where i just didn't feel interaction now it's different when if i'm playing at home and i've got you know my little yamaha or the um the audio kitchen big trees into a little speaker and i'm right next to it it's right on my face and i can play and it's and it's great but it's i would never take that stuff to a gig and go here we go this is me you know it's always my tone is to feel developed around having apps and having the interaction yeah as a practice tool though different story yeah um but yeah i mean there's a lot of stuff that you can do yeah that doesn't change the fundamental thing yeah it doesn't change the problem of there not being a guitar cabinet on stage on the subject of which simon duncan really really really really wants to know what are good enough two by twelve closed back greenback cabs for a jtm45 reissue uh hendrix black keys gary clark jr thanks and please do more amps and pedals videos um there is one cabinet we would recommend for that and it is the i don't even know if they still make it 2061x marshall um sometimes it come it has come with greenbacks and sometimes it comes with um their anniversaries the anniversary so just check it's a 212 looks like a 412 and it is a flipping fantastic cap if you can't find one don't know where you are simon if you're in the uk get paul zilla to make you one yeah um they'll do a range of nice cabinets that'll work well there's lots of great cabinet companies out there um i speak from experience having owned many zilla cabinets that paul uses really really nice marine grade ply he box joints them beautifully he covers them well they are just great sounding traditional cabinets that are made brilliantly so i recommend zillow cabs unreservedly if you're not in the uk um i don't know you may ship internationally but it does seem a bit crazy to be shipping a cab internationally um if you're in the us for example there are probably equivalent cabinet makers there but failing that that marshall 2061 if you can find one 212 happy days yep yep yep um 1936 marshall 212 is okay i've never loved it truth be told uh best two by twelve we have here is the housing kitten one yeah that is a really unfortunately they don't make that anymore that was the old hughes and ketten vintage uh close back again marine grade ply greenbacks very nicely made um shouldn't be that hard should it shouldn't be that hard it's not that hard mac spell addc good luck it will never not be funny kelvin mack curious about your thoughts about the retrosonic flanger i've read they've made it a little brighter from the feedback they were getting feedback get it um yeah yeah i've how to play with that it sounds really lovely there's another one past the facts have just bought one out as well um just remind me if i yeah right okay so this has got a level control on it which is great the past effects one actually has a blend control on it which is also great um yeah i mean all good uh nothing sounds like my old mistress but other electric mistresses don't sound like my mistress so yeah yeah you know yeah it's all good it's it's very well regarded i don't i mean i don't care for the flanging noise um it would be interesting to try it just to see what you're what you're getting out there is what dan talks about all the time one of the things he loves so much about his original mistress is the high end yeah which is how important so difficult to do in digital environment because by the time you've filtered out all the noise you're really messing about with all the high end frequencies as well and [Music] yes that's why he loves it so much so if they've made it sound more like that happy days as i said i don't care for the flanging noise just for anyone what's not what the original looks like close your eyes michael should i buy some bigger shoes dan come back come back come back pick the light up come back come on pick the lights up there you go there you go no dark light ah come on okay look yeah yeah there you go like that make a photography yet there you go yeah good luck um mick doesn't like it when i kick the mic stands no dan doesn't have clown shoes but he may as well have when he walks around the studio he can't he can't walk past the stand without kicking it to be fair you are 99 of humans most humans are the same right i guess it's because i've put the stand there i know it's there right therefore i don't trip over it there you go yeah um if there's a shade of annoyance there i apologize how are we doing not great um [Laughter] john q john q says evening m d and bv uh here oh hope indiana here question how crucial in pedal order is parallel i'm using electro harmonics try and economizing physical space thanks and best of holidays to all at tps um if you've got multiple pedals in parallel this is it's as important if you're in running them a series [Music] so for example if you've got if you've got two pedals in parallel right then order is moot but if you've got two pedals up here and then two pedals down here then yes of course it's still going to have still gain staging just it's you know the way your signal's still going to flow into the other one so yes it's still an important consideration absolutely yes and offers a really interesting bunch of gain options yeah totally we predicted that we'd see more overdrive pedals with parallel modes in um hasn't quite come to fruition yet but uh maybe it will [Music] john w triple seven john w triple seven says thanks for all the inspiration and continuing knowledge i'm back in a house after nine years of a flat and the amps have never sounded so good wow wet dry with a friedman runt and a lone star not moving again well done buddy congrats congrats huge congrats that's awesome um sabrosa sabrosa guys here's a show idea it's 1965 when you travel back in time back in time you need to replicate your current rig sounds but only with gear available back then ah yeah nice that's really nice so i bagged the wallace the amp guitar bit is easy enough for me yeah and me tremolo is easy enough and reeve but as long as it's spring reverb is okay for me difficult bits are going to be delay 65 yeah and uh fancy ass reverbs but that's it and vibe yeah but i can do that with harmonic tremolo just about yeah you've got ah was the 567 um it's tough yeah so but basic chord guitar tar and amp sound you'd have to go back 10 10 more years for that to be a problem for me i think i like it though yeah very nice very good very nice well done the great dell hello um that's nathan by the way hello nathan um a new new gig in january and i can get my marshall 2210 half stack out of my house and into my new office in an industrial estate to get the amp working with the workplace schwang no question just a flex i like that very good that's very good actually if we had a bit more money dan marshall uh marshall anderson's have got a secondhand 100 watt marshall 212 combo at the moment jcm800 212. oh wow such a such a such a great amp if we had a bit more cash i would plump for it but we've got things that are a bit further up if anyone out there was a really cool 212 marshall combo they're really overlooked the 212 marshall combos but they can sound completely fantastic yeah um i had one back in the day it was just wonderful yeah ainsley's got some really nice ones actually they always sound magic uh anyway perrins i'm gonna y'all i'm so sorry i got my guy there you go it's meat feast time um stephen perrins uh aaron source the appearance which makes you feel the least sad uh sad trombone noisy says at low volumes is it a valve preamp and digital power amp or digital modeling so what would you prefer would you prefer a valve preamp and a digital power amp or full digi modeling at low volume that's a really good question actually i know the answer is i don't know probably so the problem with the valve the valve preamp in digital power app ah depends on the speaker for me hopefully through the comments over the weekend and what we've talked about tonight i don't think the problem is the board the problem is the speaker for me yeah yeah um and the interaction with it but i'm gonna go with digital modeling i would i would go with a little digital modeling affair rather than all that mucky muck yeah but i don't think it works at low volume yeah i mean what i would actually like is two pro juniors on the end of a really nice pedalboard really quiet yeah super quiet nothing beats that yeah i agree 100 the problem with having the the valve preamp going into a digital power app as opposed to the all and digital solutions the digital solution has been designed to all work together whereas the pre and your power amp thing you're you're sort of cabling a couple things together and trying to see if it works um [Music] my little yamaha thr 10 is an awesome little all-in-one digital modelling solution which is great fun at home if i just want to you know i've had a jam with liv no no and it's just great it's really you know quiet not annoying anyone great fun if i'm if i'm doing some serious practice and i can't be loud i use the [Music] the big trees because the immediacy that and it's still that that one watt valve thing but there's something about it this like um i'll play stuff with that one watt rig and i'll hear things in my plane that need adjusting that i won't hear playing through the thr10 yeah yeah and that's the difference i would agree with that uh john peterson john peterson says hey guys i'm going to be redoing my pedalboard over the holidays i was going to use solderless cables from amazon do you have any thoughts on solderless happily holidays we have lots of thoughts and souls on us dan only uses solderless but he uses the evidence audio sis for which you need a small mortgage they're really expensive they're really good i it's not that i mean i reuse some solder stuff as well but 99 of the time it ends up going back to this stuff certainly for the show where we're changing things in and out really quickly i don't have 15 minutes to make a patch cable you know it's got to be done really quickly but here's the thing i've been using these patch cables for years and years and i know how to make them really well and know how to make that they last it's not about you know look loads of people use loads of different solders patch cables everyone's got different experience with them just make them properly but it's about yeah it's about knowing how to make the things properly i can okay soldered patch cables are of course fantastic there is no argument that they're not fantastic of course they are however you know it took me 20 years to learn how to solder properly and one of the issues now that has changed recently there's a law called rosh rohs removal of hazardous substances and what that means is things like arsenic and cadmium and lead has all been removed from the components now leaded solder that we used to use back in the day had a much lower melting point than silver solder that you use now now what that means is if you're making a soldered cables now you've got to be so on it because the heat that you need to use to get the solder to flow is so much higher now if you know what you're doing it works fine you get in and out really fast but getting to a point where that works really well it takes a long time the core the care will become so hot that melting through into the insulation is so easy to do so it's just one of those things like no matter what you choose to do developing your neck for it yeah it is is absolutely essential so you know i really like the evidence audio stuff i really like the um the square plugs if you want to use solar stuff is really good but it's really tricky yeah um you know look uh uh eric johnson still uses george l's in his case yeah i use george l's for ages what you know you can't you can't say to eric justin while mate you should be using soldier it's like no he's going to say to you exactly yeah where they go wrong for me is i make them and it's all good and then i move my pedal board around and then something goes then i'm not as good at making them as dan is and they're not as robust so i i end up having to snip a bit off the end remake it so one little tip i would give you if you're going to go the solderless route a practice before you do it b make them tightly longer than you need so that if you do then need to shorten them you can shorten it a little bit yeah you know and it's only you know 10 mil or so it might only be five mil but 10 mil or so sorry if you're in the us um eight thousand inches uh just a very small amount mill means thousands of an inch done in in america i think i'm talking about millimeters um you can snip a bit off remake the cable and not have to use a whole other bit of cable so yeah good luck good luck but in terms of sonic quality and all that don't worry about any of that yeah just crack on yeah um to nelly nordberg tennelly nordberg hi friends what are your thoughts on a jt m45 as a gigging amp it seems a bit loud sometimes uh what are good od pedals to pair with it thank you so much for your show jtm45 great loud yes but it's only 30 watts yeah and awesome awesome gigging amplifier obviously through a 412 that's going to move a bit of air depends what you're used to using currently and how loud you can be i mean i'd happily use the j7 45 alongside a hot rod deluxe and be quieter um good pedals for a jtm45 because it's a marshall uh we always think the sort of slightly flatter response overdrives and boosts are more preferable than stuff like tube screamers in the mid hump now that plenty of people use tube screamers with marshals and get a great yeah great response but we tend to like things like blues drivers um blues breaker and the jhs morning glory is a really great example of that um full tone ocd uh just like a classic straight down the line overdrive that isn't stupidly mid-humped and base cut like a tube screamer um yeah boosts thorpy dane yeah um thorpy heavy water thorpey warthog yeah really awesome with an amplifier like that as well a really good thing to try is having using an underdrive ah good shower so use your under drive and your drivers on basically all the time and you take the underdrive off for your solo boosts yeah um but the the jtm45 is such a wonderful pedal platform that with the underdrive on and you're getting gain sounds but it's turned down uh but the amp still sounds awesome but then you've got all that lovely headroom when you take that off to do your solo boosts if you don't quite understand that crank the amp so it's over driving and sounds fantastic get your overdrive pedal in front but have the output set lower so that when you turn the pedal on everything gets quieter that's the concept of underdrive and you'll also be benefiting from those power valves and the transformer and everything working in the app so you should get some nice harmonics and stuff going as well because really those traditional apps they do need they need to be working a bit yeah depends on the gig uh obviously no one's gonna allow you on a silent stage with one but if you do the kind of gigs that me and him do um no worries whatsoever yeah really lovely thing yeah actually preferable to our 50-watt plexi i would say i wish we'd got a jtm-45 instead of a 50-watt plexi right but um that's good for some other things isn't it it really is good um air fire hello ed hey mate my dad is about halfway through his recording of his prog album awesome dan now ed you phrase this as a question i'm going to change it for you dan says would you like a copy when it's done i'm going to say dan i'm going to send you a copy when it's done if so how do i get it to you ed you know how to get it to us you've been here there you go in the post mate that's the way to do it lovely thank you yeah brilliant mate well done yeah no never ask i just send it make him have it make him have it yeah look forward to it bud g barge hello g from northern california he says loads of love dnm from sparkling northern california it's battling here too just the ice yeah no question or comment today just many thanks and always something for your nashville bucket to your gift oh yes brilliant in the bucket it goes and we'll hope to see you soon thank you g i did get massive pangs watching the country music awards the other night of like i need to be there when can we go soon it wasn't actually it was a bit depressing with all the guitar tones but anyway oh really watch it tell me what you think over there and sort of mouth actually one of um zach brownbaum were really good right and a couple of others were okay but some of it was very fizzy yeah anyway let's have a word paul matulovich hello paul he says evening gents thanksgiving week here in the usa time's almost upon us to write us letters to santana claws very good did you hear about the um the dyslexic occultist soldier celta santa awesome dan is officially allowed to make dyslexic jokes i am yeah my son who's severely dyslexic yeah anything is hilarious um two dyslexics at the top of a ski slope one says uh have you got a cigarette the other one says what am i a tobogganist it's not even a dyslexic joke if you're offended by that please don't be um how did we get onto that no uh [Laughter] oh yeah santana claus santana claws i wanted to gift a shout out to collector effectors out of north carolina their stuff is ace excellent collector effectus very good pretty good name pretty good name please check out collector effectors uh with love from paul matulovich thank you paul chris groom hi mick and dan no question just wanted to support you oh my that's so kind thank you very much uh he says ps maybe a new hat for dan chris that is really really really generous of you thank you man that's uh wow that's a big deal thank you buddy thank you thank you we'll put that in the pay dougie fund i think yep yeah given that we he is going to start sending us an invoicing and he deserves one for this one he was on form yeah um and a great deal again everyone should have a birth year piece of gear mine's a 1984 you weren't born in 1984 oh dear marshall jcm82210 what's yours and what would it be if you don't already have one that's a really great question my first uh suggestion would be this see i was born in 74 which is not great yeah i'm 71 for lots of things now there might be a fender amp in 74 would work for me there'd be plenty of marshals from 74 that would work for me yeah um jmp yeah um and there there is a strat out there that would work for me definitely ainsley lister has got a really great 74 strat and a 71 and they are both fantastic guitars right um so that's probably what i'd go for i don't know what a marshall probably i wonder what year the space echo is i think it was later wouldn't it yeah it was it was seven years old when were you born dan 71 quite a lot of choice for you i would say yeah i'm golden yeah um space echo wikipedia 74. now there you go so you're you're you're in i'm golden they probably weren't very good in 74. ah um okay wreck yeah yeah they're still doing those in the 70s yep cool yeah great yeah a nice 71 echo right check out the number one albums list from 1971 it was a pretty damn good year um [Music] yeah lovely lovely question lovely question thank you uh charlie pratt boys i play a telly through a cerbela head and a cab i'm thinking of getting a 65 princeton reissue it would be fun to use as the second amp in stereo what you thought uh yes yeah do it immediately you could do amazing stereo or you could do it wet dry yes yeah fantastic bella's really nice actually it would be good to get one yeah or at least get borrowed one for a minute yeah let's see if our friend nigel can lend us one yes smirk bar smirk bar it's like when you walk up and like they just ignore you we should have one of those in here like just like a metal bar anyway smirk bar um [Music] or oh no [Laughter] all right another time love this show uh i own shirts and a dnm drive also thank you thank you very much any uh any question just purchased a 59 basement uh ltd which a lot of people think means limited it actually means lack of tweed uh to stereo with the blues deluxe i'm looking to upgrade the tens in the basement as they are a bit harsh what are your suggestions so one suggestion uh this is the this is the new one right i think jensen actually makes a speaker for this purpose right i think they make a version of that p10r if that's what speakers in there yeah that's less harsh yes i don't know that it is that peter p10 but anyway so there's that there's also um it's not it's not speaking warehouse what's there's another one in america weber weber i've got a couple of webers in my ac-10 twin that sound amazing but i am going to suggest what you might want to do is get a really base heavy octave loop going throw some thick blankets over the amp turn it up and just let it give the speakers a really good pounding for a few hours yeah and it will make a massive massive difference without going to before before you buy any new speakers do that first yeah because they really need making sure the amp is well ventilated yeah they really need to work yeah you know yeah yeah failing that um yeah weibo's dan says w-e-b-e-r in the u.s doesn't say where you are us dollars yeah it looks like you're in the us um waver speakers are definitely worth looking at eminence do a great range of fender upgrade speakers yep um the eminent stuff is superb and jensen please check out jensen too they make a really great range of speakers and the the descriptions on those websites should help you um but we would recommend any of those uh companies unreservedly so good luck killer amp it would be awesome to have one of those yeah totally it's it's slightly confusing how we don't have a basement stevieboy444 hello stevie boy he says hi gents hope you will you've mentioned a few times that when using digital gear there's a harsh abrasive sound at the front of the note it drives me nuts what causes it and what do i do to avoid it when buying i refer to you in this one i don't know what it is i've always assumed it's something to do with the ad conversion right and the filtering that's required to get rid of noise so it's like there's a fixing job going on but we know what you mean about the harsh i hear it in plug-ins i hear it in and not being an audio engineer not really understanding this i've always assumed it's about a d and d a converters um my my reasoning for this is that in the hi-fi world when you buy a nice cd player it is separated from its converter so you buy the transport which might cost a thousand pounds and then you buy the digital to analog converter which might also cost a thousand or five 000 pounds right in the audio world in studios when you record nice things you do it in the analog world and then you have a converter which is also incredibly expensive and again not understanding technology what i do know about audio is usually expensive is good not always but usually it's certainly true for microphones it's definitely true for guitars and it's usually true for amps it's definitely true for recording gear unfortunately so by process of elimination my assumption is that to get all this stuff into a consumer focused piece of gear that costs a few hundred quid you have to cut some corners and i my conjecture is that that's what it is so i underline that it is conjecture and i don't know from an engineering point of view but i hear it as well it's why i avoid that technology in my rig because i can always hear it and it always upsets me we've got a couple of analog preamps now we're using um [Music] to specifically got them to see what it's like with the uh because our apps yeah it's like oh well for the recording part of it because i can always hear harshness in the top end always always always hear like especially with gain sounds yeah and i don't know how to get rid of it somebody more experienced and better at this might know but i don't and one of the ways we're definitely improving it is to use analog front end and it is making a difference right here we go so gordon rankin gordon hoping you might chime in yeah yeah um our resident brains trust gordon is an exceptional engineer digital aliasing is the problem the filter is required to round the note when the conversion is done it looks like a wrap and the filter shapes that wrap yeah there we go very interesting aliasing is a is a concept that i can understand from photography and video world so if you think about a photo or a video for example when you take a raw image if you know anything about photography or video the file is utterly colossal yeah because it captures all of the information when you co when you take a jpeg or something off your iphone like one of those horrible new codecs they use hvec or whatever it's called you're taking all that information and you're going okay we really need this information and we're going to discard all of that and that happens in video too where it might analyze say 50 frames and it will go um 60 of these 50 frames are exactly the same the information so we're going to consolidate that into one piece of information and we're going to chuck away the rest right that's what aliasing in video is basically or is one of the issues of aliasing in video so when you take a huge amount of information and audio is a massive amount of information and you say i need to make it smaller and you know this because if you output a really crappy mp3 in compared to compared to a really nice a i double f or a wav you know that it sounds worse right because what you're doing you chucking a load of information away so bearing on what gordon just said that's what i think is happening yeah yeah the the dac or the the the conversion part is going and remember that that modeling and conversion is going along all the way along the chain it's saying i'm going to model a um eq stack i'm going to model a transformer i'm going to model all these things and it's just chucking away part of the information so while it's amazing and sharp processes are unbelievably good can't wait to hear them in 10 years time when they're 10 times better yeah right you're chucking away a load of information that's what's happening and what you're chucking away is harmonics interplay all of that i can hear it and people tell me i'm crazy when they say i can't but anyway there we are there you go there we go there we go um just to qualify that i've been in situations where you stick a digital amp and a valve amp together and i've really struggled and sometimes i got it wrong so not saying that in the moment there like in an example of a blind test when you start listening to it week in week out and playing it week in week out and doing the work on it week in week out that's when you start to really hear it right because that's when you stumble on the the things that cause you the bigger problems yeah so anyway yeah uh what do i do when buying stevie boy and buy analog stuff that's uh that's what i do or better um get something that is definitely analog drive through so your analog core tone always stays the same and the digital bit of it is stuffed on the top that's chiefly important to dan and i with delays and reverbs and things like that not least because of the latency involved but also we just like to preserve that that signal path yeah it's very controversial lots of people say there's no way you can hear it and it's all crap um i've got no reason to lie about it you know no um bartlett o'shea hello bartlett hello butler hello from new york and thank you for all you do i've recently looked into a sewell wampus cat and i'm in love are there other amp builders recreating tweed amps who need the attention of my billfold billfold being a wad of cash is it is that what it is oh okay very good i like that sewell if for those of you don't know doug sewell he um consults with paul reed smith on the prs amps but also oh wow has amps of his own yeah yeah i mean there's a bunch of different ones the victoria amps are really good yes my my favorites are lazy j um i think jesse does the most amazing job with those um they're like hot rodded modded tweed things you know um tweed deluxe with reverb using 6l6s and uh you know built an attenuation and stuff you know his stuff is amazing victoria is a really good choice but yeah in victoria's there's another name i'm trying to remember who do they do really great black panel lamps and i can't remember if they do uh tweed ones or not a car i mean god he makes unbelievable yeah he does um i wish i could remember the flipping name always posts amazing pictures on instagram with the most unbelievably beautiful vintage guitars someone was going to be saying it in the in the comments section gordon says uh say you're going to make a digital pedal the codec costs less than 150th of the price and the part becomes part of the problem any high expert high-end audio part from ess would be like one-tenth of the price yeah if you know about anything about manufacturing you're looking at probably at least the six-fold increase of that part by the time you get to retail so yeah you've got to use cheap stuff gordon's birthday today gordon happy birthday birthday buddy um yeah gordon's a he's been a really fantastic person for us to know and been really helpful gordon was instrumental in helping us get the buffer show together and he's been a fountain of knowledge and we love having him around so so happy birthday mate we hope you have an awesome day indeed and uh you know wish you all the very best uh lewis electric says chris quinn i guess louis electric yes sweet amps very good i wish i could remember the name of these amps because they are really lovely amps i'll keep an eye on it on the yeah um haha good luck bartlett i hope you find something tweety and lovely yes mate um pair eric fistroom orphistrom says pair eric fistrom from the uk depending on where you are i wish i could remember the names um anyway pair eric flustrom says hey thanks for such a great show i have a hackstrom 39 oh nice which is an eight watt tube amp and a vox ac 15. could i use them for which draw which dry not halloween anymore could i use the hagstrom 39 and the ac-15 for wet dry and if so which amp do i use for what absolutely the amp with more headroom used for your wet amplifier and the app with less headroom usually dry amplifier yep we did a show a few weeks ago on two amps amazing tones go and check that out it's my current rig i use the j20 and the matchless mattress has more headroom with the wet amp wet effect sounds great and i have the j20 sort of crank doing its thing yeah uh but it's yeah you can do a version of that so crank the headstrong a little bit use the ac 15 depending on how loud you play um that would be pretty loud though oh yeah i mean that's plenty just gig volume they're totally for most people um if you're playing at home get a little little bit of love going in the hagstrom and use the ac 15 for the wet that'd be really killer yep just do check the phase should be pretty obvious you need to make sure that one of the amps is um isolated and phase reversible so you can just flip the phase on the second amp you'll hear pretty much immediately what sounds fuller and fatter and in phase yeah there you go i get all the tones i need from a telly a duo jet and a casino says gary stewart yes come on what three guitars would you choose for maximum total options um red butters and my 65. dan would go with three tellys and i i knew he would say that and i thoroughly believe him uh okay if i'm taking uh three guitars to the gig it'll be oh man it's not far off that you know red the ah you go in recent times it would always be strat and a 335 but i've been the last gig i did i took the gold top les paul instead of the 335 and had a very nice time with it um it's just a bit brighter sounding and works off the volume controls bit better i think because of the pickups anyway doesn't matter so taking the lester out the equation because it's not mine 335 strat and probably a junior yeah this either this or the 65 the junior and the leicester because lester live for some things is just killing it yeah and to be honest i could i'm happy with two i'm happy with the strat and the 335 i can do everything i need to do on on that and to be honest probably just a strat yeah yeah lovely um john marshall hi dm i have a peterson pg 120 amplifier from the early 90s it's a great solid state amp very loud i find it difficult to get info on them any thought yeah i remember them really well hardwood cabinet very high end audio file guitar amp here you go looks like this down amazing things actually i remember them well from guitarist magazine um yeah you could check the archives of the various guitar magazines they did a 200 one as well if i remember correctly um trying to find a really good image of one there's some plenty of crap images why can't people take photos down it's not it's not that hard mac it's not that hard mark oh well there you go little wooden wooden body thing there oh lovely eevee speaker oh nice i remember they were very highly regarded nice um there must be archived i would imagine that's the kind of thing that's probably got a little user group or a fan page or maybe was the guy's name dave i don't know if he's still around you know usually there's things like that that are so unique and that was so well loved have a little group of people who are very passionate about them so do google search and see if you can stumble across i know guitarists reviewed pretty much all of them over the years um that's that's how i remember them but yeah nice very good very cool um adam lloris hello adam i love the show i need a new amp for the collection good man i've got a brunetti single man which is a 65 reverb lovely princeton marshall silver jubilee studio what do i need lunch box head clean pedal platform ideally some sort of a vox variant yeah it says should it be a vc35 um you'll hear in a video in a couple of weeks time the vc35 has a tremendous amount of gain in it it does have headroom but you've got to run the game almost off yeah to get clean headroom out of that i'm i don't think that's the best victory option for you um what's the lunchbox head specifically yeah uh what about the v40 c40 yeah v4 is a really good shot yeah i mean given that you've got the brunetti princeton and the silver jubilee you might find it a bit dark sounding they did a bright cat mod on it fairly early on into the production which made it a little bit brighter sounding but it's not the brightest sounding thing in the world if you're used to that silver jubilee and um especially the princeton i wonder if morgan does some smaller heads jackson ah yeah there you go the jackson jackson audio not exactly lunchbox but very small very small very compact check out their britain they're britain amp that is a flipping killer amplifier yeah yeah nice or if you want to take a walk down the um hybrid route check out the rev d20 uh oh yeah yeah which is worth a look um l mate uh uh howard no dumble come on brain amanda amanda i don't guess yeah um hugh guitar player plays for carrie fisher hugh hugh jess hello this is you yes carrie underwood gary anderson sean tubbs carrying them sorry good luck with you sir this is a prank called it's gone horribly wrong oh better luck next time so sean tell you carry handbags i thought i'd say carrie fisher so sean sean did a um uh demo this week using that rev 28 yeah i think it's the red 20 amp far out man we've got one somewhere he is he is unbelievable he is such a great guitar player unbelievable yeah he's doing this stuff i'm like sean tubbs how do you how do you do that he's such a great guitar player yeah actually she was on the country awards i don't know if sean was playing or not actually i didn't recognize him okay there whether he's had his haircut or something um to be honest i was cleaning the fireplace because dan was coming around and uh i needed the fireplace to be clean and so i was listening to the country music awards a little bit miffed that vince girl wasn't on it if i'm honest anyway uh good good luck adam um good luck right let's see if that is us we've gone way over time tonight largely my fault um as everything usually is uh oh michael we both know that's so untrue um [Music] good thank you all for joining us um we've got yes we've got another band show this friday and it is a corker the tour dad says orange or prs lunchbox amps actually yeah the prs there's they do a 20 what one tell you what is fantastic but it's a bit expensive is um uh the little tremonti one oh yeah right it's really good i think it's expensive i remember playing that in germany going oh my god that sounds really good a lot of the prs one yeah um [Music] yeah anyway um so let's go for a last couple then darren o'toole any thoughts or knowledge on matamp amps in yorkshire yeah jeff is an extremely interesting guy with a rich history and a such an intertwined twiningly interesting story with orange down the years i don't know what matt amp is now or who owns it or he's just done that with um with mike fennert has he yeah just very nicely made um the kind of you know really lovely made circuit turret boards i don't know if they're through-hole or whether if they're eyelet or turret boards but anyway really lovely traditional ant making methods high quality stuff really lovely so yes um that's very interesting that he's done it with with mike with mike venar um how cool prsmt 15 says david michelle thank you dave there you go and um the last one i wanted to uh todd roy are you still on the lookout for a vintage strat mick you deserve one todd no um i'm going through a period of financial embarrassment at the moment so i have to reign it in a bit uh so maybe in the future um i want to get make a vintage strat but do you have a chorus on your boards if so which one and how do you choose them says my secret machine i my flanger is my chorus but i am toying with the idea of putting my c1 back on my board but apart from that is my analog man uh dual course yeah analog man by chorus form is um both of both dan and i like analog chorus he says holding up the free the tone try avatar much multi-dimensional chorus the audio bit of it is analog free the tone chorus exceptional and an incredible thing if you like that kind of dimension c-type sound and yeah but it does all the other stuff too it does is really great um and then my favorite chorus that is not the analog man favorite chorus that's not the analog man is the jam waterfall yeah and astonishing dan and i both have that in their double pedal format called the ripley 4 which also has a phaser in it analog amazing beautiful wonderful if what you like is those thick analogue chorus sounds which we do love them tremendously tremendous [Music] very good [Music] nice out dan thanks for being with us in this friday show we have the band back together and we're looking at how to use your delay pedal in your band from short slapbacks to long cavernous delays in the meantime don't go changing you don't have to go home but you can't stay here remember if you're
