belgium hello to belgium indeed just look at the belgians uh daniel herbert hello from ann arbor uh thanks for your reply to my question in the comments on friday's show you're welcome so one thing that mick does beautifully i do less so um broader advertising because we're broad we're manly men we've had brawn we've had apple pay and we had some other really great ads this week so um please watch the ads um might be able to afford that old strat after all dan not um yeah what's this one click click attack washington from jim lange click attack that's cool and oh john foss big hello from alaska everyone ah i only know uh of alaska through uh the simpsons movie it's all of my knowledge about alaska and it's just wonderful i know very little about alaska but yeah the simpsons baby when uh they all moved up to alaska right beautiful you don't watch only show truckers then no i don't oh but there was a part in um malcolm in the middle right where one of the boys moved out to alaska best shower right yeah anyway uh george biger good morning from melbourne um big hello to all of our friends out in australia i hope you're all doing great still locked down in there uh down there yeah yeah pretty pretty severely in a lot of cases as well i didn't know that so how you know i hope it's all going well um david daley greetings from sunny southport hello southport went there once put some tents up for a flower show nice yeah big tents big tents up yeah yep uh christopher niemann we had him already south wales robert payne hi robert yeah um uh peter hollyman says hello boys mick any new model progress on the isp telly um none peter uh it sort of sat there in the rack i had two weeks off and um didn't play the guitar blissfully in those two weeks and um no it sat there and i'm not allowed to play in well i am allowed to play it in the show but i don't play it in the show because two telly's is like too much man and dan will be like the thing is you sound so good on a telly then i pick up my telly and all my dreams shatter to dust very silly very silly very silly very silly um no i shan't be doing any more mods to it i might put a white pick guide on but apart from that no more mods required just need to um kind of get with it really and and and do its thing and learn it such a great guitar for one of a uh for want of a better thing i i i know the day is going to come where i'm tempted to put some more pickups in it because the pickups are compared to red and compared to the 60 down 65 it is a little bit weak sounding but it is quite hard you know when you if you sat here next to dan and i've done this for five years now being sat here next to dan when he's playing red is like it's like i'm always driving the fiesta and he is always driving the lambo because none of my no it's the fiesta with the extractors on yeah just same speed up to you but going i always choose my guitars because they're um they're weak i like weak guitars and red is just not a weak guitar is it indeed um anyway that was probably too much explanation um cool uh yeah okay let's get into the questions shoes brie says uh and my last result anomalous results okay shoes brie spelt as in shoes the things you wear man the the pronunciation of names here i got i got in trouble once we're calling it salford oh right yeah solved yeah yeah yeah yeah on the subject of geography do you know where the andes are mountain range in on the anti-arrestees [Laughter] oh man my kids are in for a treat tonight when i get home oh guys wake up i need to tell you something magic man says any tips for someone just getting into recording i have everything i need but i still don't understand my daw lol um well our tip is the good news is all daws are fundamentally the same okay but ostensibly very different as in you know software that does one thing it does the same job i.e it accepts a bunch of stuff you you put into it it arranges it and you can then edit it so it does the same thing the layout the basic functionality will be the same but the way it's laid out and finding your way around it is different so the advice would be whatever your chosen daw it is and it really doesn't matter what it is um just start from the beginning any decent software company worth their salt will have a lot a huge range of online video tutorials start at the beginning beginning don't expect to know it all in a minute and just start working right from how do i connect it how do i get sound in here out of there that's very much easier than it used to be 20 years ago i genuine ptsd from buying a pc and cubase once and spending two days try putting sound in the atari and not getting sound out yeah yeah yeah that's largely not a problem these days and then just you record something play it back um add a plug-in literally start from the beginning that's that's the advice bazooky man 5000 was very upset that we didn't pronounce his name there you go there's a human five thousand now unless you what if that's phillips no no it should be felix plays the bazooka i have uh dear mr paul stacy coming up this week cool so we've got our first uh rehearsal of rehearsal this friday nice yeah yeah and but we're filming so basically obviously for not twin spirits exactly yeah that's the yeah the the new spirits the lead fumes the original the new originals so he's coming up to help me we're going to film and talk about mixing because the ep is basically recorded yeah and he's going to take me through three or four things to stop the ep sounding like a demo make it sound like a record so we'll be filming that on friday it'll be fun i like the way that's even even slightly possible in less than 25 years yeah i mean it's not really is it for those of you don't know paul stacy friend of dan's a friend of mine more of a friend of dan's who is a well number one a utterly phenomenal guitar player unbelievable like book of act level guitar player yeah just just i would go to when i first met paul he was playing for neil finn uh with his brother jeremy and then i would just go to all the gigs that he was doing just to sit in front of him and watch him play and utterly astonishing player not you know not in the sort of matteo cesaro really impressive kind of way just in a well he can play really impressively but in a connected musical passionate moves you from the bottom of your soul that way which is not the same message desato doesn't do that but what i'm saying he's not like that all the time yeah it's more like one chord and oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah anyway but he's also a producer been on tour with loads of people um just actually produced scott mckeon's new record which sounds unbelievable spectacular um yeah that's who that's who paul's daisy is yeah uh if you didn't know that yep yeah because when so 10 spirits sort of disbanded we all got the itch to play again um dave is busy doing other things and sort of wants to take it easy and um so i on a on a winging a prayer i called paul said i suppose you'd be interested in coming up he's like yeah sure which is unbelievable so yes first rehearsal this friday i'm very excited very very very cool uh right into the super chats then uh mark lavinish is on first tonight hello mark hey nice to hear from you as always he says i just got my page ts kingsleypagets from simon wondering if you've tried one and what your thoughts are on it versus the page um do you have any of his apps um easy bit first no we don't have any of his amps we've heard them hts the page ts is the regular page circuit yes with more features and controls for versatility in a wider range of sounds and applications like many of our pedals the page ts is hand-wide i see it yeah yeah uh second foot switch for eq lift providing boost preamp mode oh okay full eq and stuff amazing okay so it's a page for those of you who don't know this is dan okay so this is the kingsley page so it's a valve uh booster absolutely gorgeous of you know it's been on around my board for years and years um he does a number of different sorts so i think that's the page ds which is the uh it's almost like a dumbly type preamp yes so it's slightly confusing because there's a page tube boost which is the pedal that dan is referring to which goes on your pedalboard like any other overdrive or boost pedal sounds totally glorious as of just a straight boost there is also a preamp version which is designed to hit well actually it's designed to run after another kingsley preamp and then hit the power section of a guitar amp it's essentially this in this case they obviously says you can't see but it says ds on the back um that's a dumble overdrive special voiced one which sits after my maiden pre what it looks like simon's put all of that into one pedal wow by the looks of things amazing um haven't tried one but simon has a hundred percent hit rate with anything of his we've ever tried just listen to the guy play yeah and you'll get a you get an understanding of just how meticulous his ears are and his touch it's really amazing you know when i hear there are some designers that i've heard play who've blown me away and i'm like oh okay now i understand where you're coming from when you design and simon's you know man he's just you know he's one of my favorite guitar players um he's obviously his harmony and all that sort of stuff is outrageous but when his touch yeah and the way that translate through in his pedals is like ah just wonderful can't say that awesome well congratulations mark you really like it um one thing with something with so many sounds in it and with so much power is that um sometimes it can just take a minute to find the place you like and for sure when anything is that powerful tonally there'll be some sounds in it you definitely don't like so if you're in that ballpark at the moment don't be put off by that it's just par for the course with getting the gear learning it finding where it sits best for you and just optimizing that yeah because all those knobs are interactive right yeah they're all interactive so you know and that's to circle around on something dan said earlier you know that is the one feature of simon's playing that comes through so strongly in his in his pedals i'm at risk of stumbling into a giant canyon of generalization here but i'm going to do it anyway um i'll be joining you in two seconds one thing i've always found about simon's stuff kingsley stuff is that the way it reacts to you as the player is on another level compared with most stuff certainly compared with if your only experience to date has been like digital modelling amps which basically don't do any of that they just they just seem to sound the same no matter what guitar player or anything else you put into them to me anyway simon's pedal will sound radically different whether you pick hard or soft and that that's been one of the challenges for me balancing up some of those yeah combinations of yeah is really learning that because anyway labouring the point nice one mark andrew mcneil hello andrew hey andrew um good morning from sunny alberta to my two favorite people ah bless you that's very nice andrew we genuinely hope there are more favorite people in your life um but we are we are nonetheless touched um will we get to see the cali tweed um have any more love on the show soon it's such an amazing sounding app deserves all the love it can get fill me with it tomorrow funny you should say that yeah we're gonna do a show that we spoke about ages ago and it's called something along the lines of where do you go after the hot rod deluxe yeah yeah it's such an interesting question and of course you could go in many directions and at this point the comment section will explode with people going try this try this try this try this we don't have everything in the world what we do have are some sensible suggestions on where you might want to go after a hot deluxe bearing in mind a couple of things number one it's got to have some headroom number two it's gotta have a pretty nice fendery clean channel yep so we're not gonna start we don't want to step sideways right moving forward not going to martial or heavy game we're going just you know defendery thing yeah no step change exactly in in basic tonality but there are some some things that a lot of people get really annoyed about the horror deluxe so we're going to look at that and one thing we're going to suggest is the cali tweed you might say the fill more is a better option but we don't have a film or we do have a cali tweed and it's an interesting point of discussion so there'll be a lot more of that probably won't be that'll probably be about three weeks time yeah so yeah look out for that andrew hunter mick could you explain the difference between a custom shop 335 and a collings i35 lc i'm in austin and would love to support collings but i'm not sure how close to the 335 sound it is um briefly hunter the biggest biggest biggest difference is the body is an inch shorter across the lower bout so five 16 inches across i think um and an i-35 lc is 15 and they did that for a couple reasons they felt it was a more ergonomic design one perennial problem with 335s is the amount of low end feedback resonance you get when you play them live now you could equally argue that down the years plenty of people have managed very successfully to play 335s without them feeding back however um i know that bill um [Music] and aaron there who worked on that guitar were very keen on making it a more balanced overall instrument okay that was a big part of it i think in addition to that it's constructed in quite a different way right what's this what's the three the small body three through five is it a not three three six three three six or nine right yeah and that's even smaller again from gibson right um the thing to do is to play them really um i don't know if you've ever seen a collings guitar it it's what's it like if you're used to normal gibson and fender electric guitars seeing a collings guitar is like it's like seeing your first bentley after you've only ever seen fords yeah there's nothing wrong with a great nice ford nothing wrong at all no nothing in fact hiring vans recently and the ford basic transit custom is so much better than the basic vw van it's so the engine is better it goes like stink awesome so please don't think i'm knocking forward but collings is just another it's just another thing it's like two folds like four's in stereo no because then you know anyway and and some people really love that and some people really don't love that right so i would say go play one and have a listen um i don't think there's any doubt like a nice custom shot 335 as long as it's nice and lightweight nitro lacquer all the things that you'd want from a vintage style 335 with nice pickups is going to sound more like a vintage that 335 than a culling then the i35 lc will partly because of that um difference in body size but also you know just in the way they're made so um yeah i have actually ordered an i30 lc which is still over a year away that's amazing still over a year away but anyway well i've been filming uh anyone that follows us on instagram will have seen my pictures this week of me um with johnny kincaid johnny building my guitar i'm filming the whole thing it's so exciting um popping up to bristol every wednesday morning just to sit there forget the vows with him that's really cool what's that about another 10 weeks out did you say 10 weeks out yeah that's exciting man i'm so excited dan's having a custom acoustic guitar made well when we had our guitars refredded i basically ordered it then which was two years ago or something and it's like how black hold it he is yeah and there's no it's like this is where you are on the queue that's how much it is blooming collins was 16 months and there's loads of them man yeah it's wonderful like watching him bend the timber with an iron by hand it's like the years that have gone into him being able to do that and then he puts it in there the temple thing is crystal goes what do you have the sides made of uh rosewood yeah any idea what rosewood it's rosewood it's pretty it's very pretty it tells me what all the all the wood is um [Music] yeah i'm not sure but it's beautiful can't wait to see it thomas nicholson uh good evening from burnley hello to burnley he says i've got a rat hudson i'm guessing broadcast jhs db double barrel and a jb2 i've got space for one more drive or should i get a compressor what pedals would you recommend well let's see something fuzzy yeah get something angry and fuzzy in there i mean the broadcast will do that um the rat we know is just a great distortion the jb2 is an angry charlie and a blues driver okay so you've got you've got a nice gain range there but what you don't have is something that's really spitty and you know find a nice what is the double barrel i think you've got two angry charlies then haven't you or is that the sweet tea i get confused i'm not sure dan's right i would say you don't need any more overdrive pedals personally yep what you don't have is something overtly mid-boosted and yes the double barrel does that unless there's a tube screamer in the double barrel yeah mid boosty cloney or fuzzy yeah and it depends what else is on your pedalboard of course because if you don't have a delay pedal then we would say buy one fourth width yeah totally compressor compressors are interesting um depends what you're playing depends on the app i think thomas a more specific question would be would be helpful i.e what do you want to achieve because i think we can all get into that mode where we look down at the pedalboard and go i need something else and the question should be i want to achieve this sound yeah and that makes it a little bit easier what do you feel you're lacking you might hate fuzz um but you might say yeah i want to get some white stripe sounds or whatever yeah you know see if you can narrow it down that way and choose accordingly nice very good um octave pedal active pedal there you go because that will augment your various fuzzies uh and drive these get one that goes down and up so like the boss oc5 for example or get the prescription electronics the cob that only goes up yeah but i think it goes up in the best way well it can be but that's not we're not we're added that's i i don't put that in the gain section okay you know whereas the cob i absolutely would put the gain section the funny thing is right whenever we were playing and i could you know i'll be playing and playing my heart out and you'd step up to cells awesome and then you'd step on the octaver and everything changed not just the october gave you somewhere else to go mm-hmm like you got all your game stuff your first stuff yeah yeah and then like most blacks are on yeah they're on ten all across the board all the 10 10 10 10 10. and then the the cob for you was was 11. yeah yeah you had somewhere to go i was thinking about that when the gcse results came out congratulations to everyone who got great gcse and a-level results congratulations to my daughter liv who yeah who just basically wiped the floor with but i was thinking about nigel when you were telling me how many a star stars live had got i was like you're on 10. you're on a all the way across the board and where can you go these ones go to a star it's like why don't well why don't you just make a ha ha the highest and have that be one louder this is what's gonna start right there you go you see uh yeah he's finally got the wind out of the sails of anyone who's happy with their a star great that is funny um in my day you just used to be a well and it just wasn't so bad that everyone felt you know everyone who got b was actually a d right so no one feels quite so bad is that how it works i don't know angry comments below please [Laughter] swiss swizz871 seven one says i'm very excited to get my reeves black hat sound this week ah yes good on you and marcus is on actually marcus is uh tonight he's in the chat he's on holiday um and is on the chat on holiday marcus dedication love yeah man i hope you've got a beverage uh to be with us with we've got actually we do have a new pedal from marcus this is this is the red dot sound i just want to show you the finish look at this look at that it's so nice marcus etches uh i don't know if all but certainly most of his enclosures um that's his first facey type one with a few little tweakers so we'll be hearing that on the show soon so good and again for those who don't know marcus um hand makes pedals in england in the most astonishingly point-to-point hand-wired way go to instagram and look for reeves electric electro reeves electro sorry go to instagram and look for reeves electro follow him and follow follow them him but you gotta check out the you've heard of point-to-point wiring this is ridiculous um and i first heard about marcus after as i follow brian wampler on instagram and brian poster says you've got to check this out and i was like it was just amazing so yeah big big fans marcus great work anyway so swiss 871's just got his blackout sound and the question he has for us daniel is if you could do a grand tour of music stores around the world where would you go oh boy the first time i went to la to the uh it's not finishing round alley what's it called um is the guitar center in either the the big vintage section there's a few guitars in l.a but i don't i don't know i don't know i'm sure it's i'm sure it's the guitar center in hollywood that's got a massive vintage section and i mean i've been to a few guitar centers in my time and they're great but far out man i'd go to all the ones i follow on instagram like bc guitars wherever they are up north in america somewhere norms or guitars guitars is it uh is it 28th street guitars in new york i'm not even sure if that's there anymore 40 seconds carter vintage guitars of course in nashville walter carter the acclaimed writer has a or the formerly acclaimed writer has an amazing guitar there where zach mythos used to work oh wow oh yeah right when we went to japan with boss and we walked down the um oh my what was it just the most unbelievable street full of guitar things but yeah i'd go to all those independent um vintage dealers that are online yeah that we follow on instagram and just because i love that whole idea of stuff coming in and out and all the stories they've got to tell um you have to see a modern amazon type guitar store you have to you have to experience it so uh tournament in germany i'll never forget that music store in germany uh and we'd have to mention sweetwater in the u.s yep it's if you've never seen anything like that it's it's literally unbelievable what they do and it's you know for us who are sort of sat in a little room talking to a camera you go to these places and it's really inspiring this is how many people on a daily basis uh you know grabbing guitars and and things to make music with it's like oh yeah right okay cool um thomann colossal beyond words yeah it's it's a brief explanation you put your order in uh basically two things start to happen one order goes off to the warehouse and depending on what the various product is either a robot or a human will pick that product zip up on a massive you know matrix style thing keanu reeves comes out like anyway it ends up and then secondly off goes another electronic message to the packaging department which says i need a box of this size this volumetric dimension in order that it's going to have in it a um a cable a strat and a polishing cloth and these two like massive things start to happen in in harmony where they finally end up in one place where the box comes along on a conveyor belt on one thing and then the items come down from outer space and then there's either somebody in the middle to just go right on a little else led uh screen it says pick one thing next it comes off you pick it and you put it in the box that's behind you that happens like 4 000 times a day they've got their own dhl depot i remember seeing that on site there's this loading bay with like lo you know like when you see a distribution center for a supermarket and you come over the motorway and you see it like 10 miles and when you think oh that's quite big and then you get there and you literally can't see either end of it that's how big it is and all the lorries cued up to you know get filled up with lettuces and stuff well in this case it's not let eye it is it's guitars and stuff and the scale of the operation is truly unfathomable anyone who does you know work at amazon or drive a van for amazon or i mean everyone works for amazon these days so more and more people will be aware of it we'll know exactly what this looks like but in the world of music retail it is utterly staggering the first time you see it you might be even-minded to say that it's a bit soulless that it's a bit heartless that it's not really what music is about i don't even want to go there it is an amazing feat of organization engineering and precision so german yes but their returns department is bigger than most music stores right but they've i mean so they've got 120 people working in the the call center they speak like 20 different languages just answering inquiries product specialists all that stuff in most languages yeah really so interesting anyway so yeah in addition to all those cool little uh vintagey places that have got 54 strats i think you also need to see the behemoth place that sells 200 squires a day yeah sure yeah martin cable martin's martin you've been astonishingly generous thank you thank you martin and he's got three things which we'll read out in turn um he says hi gents i've been catching up on the last few weeks before your break as the old mental health went a bit sideways i have to thank you both again for your honesty help me i could ask for the help i needed martin uh we hear you he said i was just a bit late doing it i'm on the mend now though that's good to hear mate and it seems that you were playing more of what you want mother rather than more of what you should so if you are learning something you want to play must you know it technically perfectly before you can put your own spin on it or can you make it yours from the start does technical perfection lack soul of question number one question number two when does reverb become delay and when does delay become echo okay so to sort of round about way of answering your first question i was on uh driving on the way here today i was listening to radio 4 and this amazing documentary about elgar came on oh really famous uh british composer and the uh famous orchestra i think is the the the helle they were playing um elga's theme of variations and they could the the conductor says well i expect everyone to know all the noises because why better them if they don't he said but then my job is to help them know uh why they're playing them and how you know to play those particular notes and he was taking taking you through the like you know almost like the visual aspects of what this piece was about and helping them how you know helping all the orcs play together and it was fascinating you don't you know before you can put your own spin on it you don't have to know things absolutely perfectly sometimes the spin can be because you can't play exactly like the original yeah um you know that stuff isn't isn't important it's what you want to say with that piece of music and and you know it's like um okay i got home we had we had dinner with our neighbors on saturday night i'm still hurting from the jail phase i had it was awesome but oh man so anyway i got home and my daughter's in the lounge room and my favorite song ever ever written is america by simon garfunkel really and yep absolutely that song there's no rhyming in any of the lyrics throughout the whole song blows my mind and it just it says it's the visual imagery of that song it just kills me i've never played it before live was downstairs singing and and for some reason i just heard i heard the calls anyway i picked the guitar started playing it and just singing it and she was harmonizing it was like a different tempo and a different thing we just you know feeling it as we went but because i know the song so well if i've never played it before yeah we sort of worked our way through it and it was a really special moment you know um yeah so and i hadn't sat there you know learning exactly how they they'd done it yeah but i knew the song well enough yeah yeah to sort of be able to do something with it and that's you know it's a different sport isn't it yeah because you know most of us i would say spent actually no it's too much of a generalization a lot of guitar players especially guitar players i would say drummers too but especially guitar players obsess about playing something you know either note for note or in exactly the same way that jimmy page or eric clapton or david gilmour or bb king or whoever it is you want to mention did and that's that becomes our focus doesn't it and then what happens pretty quickly is that some guitar players find that they're naturally pretty good at that right and some guitar players find that they are utterly hopeless at it yep and again we all develop in different in different ways but the true originals are probably the ones who are pretty hopeless at it yeah i i totally agree and they go off in their own direction as um you know um what is it necessity being the mother of invention and all of that and it is in personally it's an interesting question martin and i'll pick you up on your mental health point because um me and dan both spend a lot of time obsessing about guitars and haven't done that and playing for all of our lives because it's what we do right we've been lucky enough to forge that into actually you know paying the mortgage and recently i've been going through a thing where i've disconnected from the guitar in a big way because i just don't feel like i've got anything to say on it i every time i pick up a guitar i'm like i have literally nothing to say here and i think that is the result of being totally obsessed with trying to sound like everyone else my whole life that is so important i'm sort of and again very guilty of overthinking everything and that's you know that in terms of where poor mental health is concerned that is literally the worst thing you can do what so what happens so mick has this amazing capacity to sort of absorb everything approach everything all process everything all at once and i think because you see the big picture of everything and you see all the process behind bringing that to the fore so when you're when you when you're playing or something you know and you you like you know you hear tom buchevac for example you're not you're not listening to the one line he's playing you're listening to the whole thing he's doing just go oh man yeah maybe that is how you get there is just so epic beyond words it is and it becomes an insurmountable task because you start catastrophizing and you start comparing yourself to other people that's what's happening what's at the core of your question maybe is um a little bit of uncertainty about how you see yourself versus other people and versus the operative word because it being verses is where it all goes wrong and all of us all of us just need to get over it yeah because what you what you also allude to is putting your own spin on it and that's all you can ever do because what happens what happens if you can play it exactly like bb king and nobody can tell the difference between you what then yep yep that's so true what use is that to anybody yep apart from maybe you might get 15 million views on on youtube and earn a bit of money but it's no use to anybody is it because he's already done it so the best thing any of us could ever do is put our own spin on it is to speak is to have something to say on the instrument not get too tied up and trying to be anyone else now if you'd asked me that question 10 years ago i'd have had a completely different answer because i was really happy trying to sound like stevie ray vaughan and trying to be everybody else but now i find it a very hollow experience wow to to follow that now of course what we i will finish is soon i promise what we shouldn't do or what what no you can't say what anyone should or shouldn't do what i want to start doing is stop thinking about it right because that's where it all goes wrong and actually if you spend 20 minutes going oh should i play like this or should i not play it like that and you find we all do it don't we get up in the morning you start thinking about something in the shower you're thinking about oh my god i hope my tone's okay today um and the more of that you do and the less time you spend connecting with the instrument the worse it all gets so if you do ever find yourself in that position of of not really knowing where you are i often think the best thing you can do is just pick up the guitar try and turn your brain off and every time you start thinking about it stop thinking about it just make a noise it's quite it takes some training yeah totally but um it's the best cure i think yep yep so anyway martin sorry to hear you haven't been so good glad you're in a better place and um i hope that answers your question does technical perfection lack soul absolutely not oh man listen to julian brain play classical guitar yeah listen tell me that that isn't just listen to guthrie play anything listen to vi play anything if it doesn't connect with you that doesn't mean it lacks soul yeah it just means it doesn't connect with you yeah totally yeah it it someone mentioned today like uh you know on a slightly sideways note and we hit with the show last week with the deluxe memory man and i whenever i played i'm like oh man why would i ever play anything else and someone in the comments today said yep deluxe memory man sounding as bad as it ever has you know i'm like wow because we all hear things differently yeah yeah we do you know so just do your thing yeah whatever connects with you the whole thing is about finding what connects with you and just go down that road and don't worry about anything else yeah it's so easy to say so very very yeah very hard to do yep but there you go i guess that's why we're alive for three score and ten or yeah a bit longer than that if we're lucky i think by the time you take that penultimate breath you go oh before i forget bv uh mate thank you for doing this thank you so much as always absolute super stylish big shout out to bv who is moderating and doing an amazing job of it yeah chris stacy um hi chris we've got a super chat from you but no chat so we'll check back in a while just to see if uh if we pick one up somewhere actually i better just check to see where we are as well okay uh yeah okay at this point i'm gonna turn the superchat off because we will not get to them all so if you've super chatted to this point we'll answer if you haven't please don't because i'm going to turn it off okay hope ho roley says no playing lex sol but i assert my authority nonetheless yes mate well i mean again i'll just mention paul stacy very briefly i've told this story before but i'll tell it again he was saying he had a very simple part to play in a tom jones song it was a super simple part it was the kind of part you could listen to and play within 10 minutes the song was called burning hell and song he did with his brother jeremy stacy so just three of them paul stacy jeremy stacy and tom jones and you can see it on letterman so go to youtube search burning hell tom jones and you'll see the tune mix talking about and continue yeah and i can't even remember what the lick was but he said he spent hours and hours and hours and hours just playing it until he felt it was a part of him yep and i'm like wow and you hear it and it's like ah it's so powerful so powerful yeah so good um right david daley hello david new guitar day oh nice i just picked up the gretch g50 [Music] electromatic double jet bt walnut wow okay electromatic mid-range gretch double jet uh that's a jet isn't it it's a double jet a double cut away so yeah bt broad tron pickups so kind of kind of kind of a little bit malcolm-y we would say oh that nice yeah yeah yeah nice i'm probably loving how it sits between my cabernet and les pauls yeah so the reason i've connected with this scratch so much is because it it does sit in that place it's like it's got all that twang and that sparkle and top end that i love but far out man it rocks like nothing else really yeah wonderful guitars oh that's a cool guitar that is a cool guitar actually oh yes yeah very nice this is the uh scratch that we're talking about come on come on sit down focus there you go lovely really lovely yeah i had a uh sort of double cutaway doozy that looked a little bit like that the star player tv um but yeah those i remember i remember an old uh the vintage geojet that i saw in the village and rare in london when it was still vintage and rare i don't even i think it's changed now i'm not sure anyway uh this beautiful black duo jet and then a sparkle jet version of the same thing they made some amazing attacks one of the most bizarre reissues of a guitar i've ever seen was gretch 90s issue sparkle sparkly jets right so they made a bunch of sparkle jets in the 90s chris cornell was a fan actually or at least he played one as far as i can remember um but just bizarre guitar to decide to to read the issue yeah right yeah anyway they are current um and very cool uh nick juric nick juric or uric he says uh mick at one point in the analog delay video you said i want to be in a punk band me too so what would yours and dan's punk band rig look like uh it would be just my ac30 red and treble booster and it would be so angry uh mine would be my junior my colleagues 290 dc yeah yeah nice um probably a plexi but it would have to be 100 watt plex it couldn't be a 50 watt plexi because it's just not loud enough yeah without overdrive so i just want to be just drama in the pack band but i would have an analog delay and i would use it like flangey angry yeah yeah mind you you know what um sex pistols very divisive punk band um some people thought they were punk despite popularizing punk for the whole world i think punk some punk fans don't regard them as punk they were very well produced what because they were so successful don't know don't know okay anyway i'm on thin ice here all right whatever you do or do not think about the sex pistols let us gloss over that steve jones's guitar sounds tender twins wasn't it maybe i've never heard a fender twin sound like that no no um but it looks like the pictures i say it looks like cranked twins yeah but the studio sounds yeah on the records even if it was i mean there would have to have been pedals involved or at least some post processing just fantastic rock guitar sounds really really fantastic rock guitar sounds patients so um yeah shout out to steve jones i mean i'm assuming he played on the records that's the other thing because you just don't know with that whole game um i'm assuming you did and i don't want to cast any aspersions to suggest that he did not great guitars great guitar sound yeah but not what i associate with the punk guitar sound which is scrappier branier more aggressive john parker says what did chris betting play i would love to know i would love to have a chat to chris betting just to find out what he played in the war of the world stuff no idea no idea will he get back to me will yak anyway um anyone else chiming in uh detroit invested invented punk not london yeah i um i yeah yeah i've watched documentaries on it and i can't remember um scotland says joe perry's turn on the walk this way was offended twin i can totally believe that wow um yeah yeah yep just to see if anyone else is magic man i'm looking to buy one of the new super delta king series amp soon fantastic clean nice nice be good to try one yeah um anyone else coming in on the punk thing single songwriter says the jam london calling watch the youtube video they're playing in the rain yeah it's not punk if it's not raining is that right best punk band with a strangler says tom robinson uh new album outside oh yeah yeah yeah uh dream theater on tour in april possibly the least punk band that have ever existed along with ub40 um it's close uh please ask music man to get john petrucci on the show i just would not know what to say to john peducci hmm hey man i mean how would be how would be my first question i heard some live dream theater um so uh mark the bass player from tin spirits it's not hard max it's not hard matt um i played my kids that uh last week and wet themselves laughing anyway he played me some live dream theater stuff and i've never had live guitar like it it's unbelievable it is it is literally unbelievable um but you know from a purely personal point of view i just have it just like yeah i i just don't get it yeah which is not to say it's not amazing and millions of people don't like it because clearly millions of people yeah absolutely love it yeah if you go to the reading festival there's three kids that must be walking around at like 400 miles an hour because i only ever see three t-shirts ac dc rush and dream theater oh and the odd guns and roses one worn by an ironic girl who bought it in topshop because she don't know it doesn't know who guns and roses are she likes rises yeah i thought gun might be better sorry very young unprofessional to say all of that um yeah i don't know i did i think i had to interview him once or write something on them and i listened to three albums back to back and by the end of it i was just none the wiser right literally none the wiser which is how a lot of people feel about the music i love so i'm not saying yeah we all love different stuff yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah i remember i've been to concerts where i was like gee uh you know that was that was that was two hours and other people crying yeah you know it's like well otherwise you know to be massively reductive about it all music would be the same with it and that would be really boring yeah uh jason kloot no question i just saw the black crows over the weekend and each guitarist had three amps each rich had two martial 212 combos and one ac30 and they put a mic on every speaker yeah each speaker yeah maybe some were backups but lovely to see and here wonderful who's who else is playing guitar in the black crows at the moment is it oddly freed oh i don't know i hope it is he would be amazing in that band well he was in the black rose for a minute i don't know who the other guitar player is i'm assuming it's not mark ford lori sprice's girl i work with thought nirvana was a clothing brand yep there's plenty of people wearing ac dc t-shirts the same do you have any sedative jeans that would have meant a whole different thing 20 years ago wouldn't it uh well that's good jason i'm glad you got to see the black crows i listen to the black rose weekly my favorite albums are the sudden harmony and musical companion oh wow and i really really love by your side okay yeah the way it starts off what tab two tab three tab full time alright baby [Music] i only know august and everything after that scout and cruise what are you talking about black rose oh sorry no no okay right okay got it well i went and saw in that case recovering the satellites is a better record than august i think as well anyway um uh like paul stacy mixed four of their albums poor stacy black rose plaque grows paul stacy two with the black crows for a couple of years that les paul has been on tour with the black crows there we are yeah there you go um oh we're gonna have to we're gonna have to hurry up swiss871 again hi swizz he says does a speaker react to a cleaner clean amp channel with od pedals the same as it does with a dirty channel and no pedals is it essentially the same thing uh i'm trying to understand the question uh right you got clean channel yes with pedal yes dirty channel no pedal right is does the speaker go this is the same thing speakers just reacting to the voltage that's fed so yeah because now if if if the assumption in the premise here is that the eq characteristics are the same the transient response of the signal is the same then yes but it won't be yeah yeah of course that's that's the thing we're very interested in setting up for filming tomorrow we're we're going to do a show called pedals for people who don't like pedals so we crank the marshall in old school styling and work back from there right and we've been having all sorts of fun trying to get that amp at a point where it really works but it's tricky it's very tweaky re your point overdriving amp pedal distortion it i mean it's a very very complex grey area is it not so it really is yeah um so is it essentially the same thing the speaker is reacting it's just a it's just an ac voltage that's yeah hammering the speaker so it's it's not receiving any different sort of voltage and yeah it's just speakers just reacting yeah it's all about what frequencies how fast yeah is is what it is yep i think albers band aaron hello hello aaron the beautiful bundy i'm actually home for a day as it's labor day happy labor day to everyone in the u.s i thought it was labor day like not long ago isn't it don't wear white after labor day or is it something else don't know i think that's a that's a fashion faux pas where white after labor day oh yeah is there just one labor day in the u.s or does it happen multiple times a year anyway labor day um i love the analog friday video last friday oh cheers just as i love you leg ends enjoy your day of uh hopefully rest and recuperation yes mate i had a fascinating conversation with dan colvins today about all things analog delay and chipsets and old reticon chips and stuff and it's just we just kicked out for a while so wonderful i think dan should do a podcast with notable humans down the years i would love to i think it would be really good it's the kind of thing you want to do in video form but actually getting those humans in one room recording the video going through all of that is just a pain in the ass whereas you could just talk to them on the phone or via video chat or something and it would be easy and it would be quick and it would be fascinating and i think it would suit podcast much better than it would suit video okay i'll do it i'll do it i'll do it if you do one on notable humans who've done really cool things but no one knows who they are very few people know who they are okay i'll do one on talking to people about mental health done yes there you go that's how we'll revive the podcast you heard it here first chris smith hi from folsom california ah folsom prison blues that's the only reason i know folsom mm-hmm i hear the trainer coming it's coming down around the bend it's seeing the sunshine since i don't know i'm stuck my dad's favorite song and if you hear my dad sing that some days on a good day he sounds like johnny cash really a true story wow yeah yeah anyway my 15 year old daughter plays a strat and i got her a friedman jj junior amp during soundcheck at his first gig there was a loud squeal uh tried another outlet and resetting the tubes but that didn't work okay so you're saying it continued to squeal loudly okay i think i know yeah you gotta say if you've got a strat and you've got the gain turned up too high on that amplifier you're going to get it's like a parasitic oscillation thing happening and yeah because they're um you've got to be really careful with that stuff just turn the front end gain down until the squeal goes away and you're set uh yeah i remember i've i've heard that at advertised but i remember being in a little club in uh cornwall and this guy had a like obviously a vintage sg with really low wind pickups yeah plugged into this cranked marshall was just saying and i'm like man just please please please just turn the game down a little bit and it'll sound spectacular yeah but you'll get that it's just the just that um yeah that oscillation so just turn the game down a bit you'll be golden yeah that's number one turn the game down and just see if that stops it number two um it might be a bad tube yeah it could be a bad tube so one way to check that is swap v1 and v2 because v1 is doing the majority of the work probably or indeed just get a new 12x7 which i'm assuming it is and swap it out and just see you can usually tell if it's a dodgy tube if you get it to the point just before it's squealing and tap it very safely with something wooden like a chopstick um then that will tell you if it's going to go squealy or not obviously i haven't advised you to do that because you can kill yourself poking around inside um tube amps so don't do that at all go and buy a new tube swap it out safely with the power off and see if that makes a difference todd uh todd roy says 130 136 likes but 883 watching give mick and dan a thumbs up people thank you todd thanks tord i really appreciate that uh chris comes back with the amp was unusable after the gig it worked great at home are there common problems that arise when gigging with the tube amp that you anticipate it was hot outside uh so if you so the the difference is when you're at home and it sounds great when you get outside and you turn the amp up it's a completely different gain structure i bet if you go outside and turn it up and just turn the input gain down you'll find the problem because you've got um if the amp is quiet and you're at home you turn that input gain up you know you're not going to get that feedback thing between the guitar and the amplifier but when it's at volume you will yeah yeah i'm just trying to work out if you replicated exactly the same settings at home i mean all kinds of things can be microphonically weird dan and i always have this slight semi-joke which always turns out to be true if we've got a problem just before we start filming and stomach's going wrong what is it a lead it's always a always a cable so just check that your cables are right and it could be something as stupid as the cables just not quite plugged in right and i know that sounds too silly even to say in some cases but you'd be amazed at how many times it's a flipping cable yep so check that start from first principles process of elimination um and i would suspect that friedman if you just bought the amp freedman's customer support is going to have some suggestions for you lean on them lean on them they don't want an unhappy customer they will be only too happy to help you i'm sure daniel kraus says head squealing with my victory 140 turned out to be the reverb plugs being loose plug them back in there you go it's always a lead yeah always a lead that's really interesting uh chat man two happy monday cause i'm a shirt man what did i hear the other day uh i was listening to summer yesterday somebody doing a cover of nothing else matters by metal liquor um chris stapleton oh wow doing a cover if nothing else matters i was listening to it going this is a good song and then i realized it was no it's really good awesome i bet it was great it was really good actually um anyway um happy monday says uh one of my apps is a vintage clone of a tweed basement stroke j45 jtm 45. i'm considering getting an amp with an effects loop for reverb you said the 1959x doesn't have a great loop what should i look for right again some relevant discoverages earlier today i don't know about the 1959 x if it's the same as the 1987 x what i'm assuming that has is something called a post phase inverter master volume yep i think it doesn't have a master volume yeah but the loop is in a position essentially what sounds like before the phase inverter because we were putting a boost in the loop of that amp and it just gets more overdriven so it's distorting the power stage it very well will come after the preamp stage but that doesn't mean that it doesn't then overdrive the power stage too much to be really useful yeah if that's the case with a reverb you might be all right so because you're not trying to boost anything so that the yeah yeah the the um preamp is overdriving everything and this is you know using loops is just basic gain staging right it's no different than having pedals on your board it's just think of the overdrive in the front of your amp as another overdrive pedal if you then stick the reverb after the preamp of your amp which is where most amp effects loops are it should be fine where it's not going to be fine and this is basic gain staging theory is if the power stage after that is also overdriving because then what you get is reverb before overdrive and we know that is a really fantastic sound but it's not the sound you want it's the shoegaze sound right because the reverb just goes like a flipping volcano on all the um overdrive so it depends how you've got that amp set if it's cranked and the power section is overdriving a lot and the reverb happens to be before the phase splitter or the loop is before the face player or the loop is driving the power section to the point of overdrive any combination of the above then it will sound dirty and not very nice it's probably unlikely in this day and age that you're going to be doing that with a 1959x yeah it is a phenomenally colossally loud amp and i would have thought the loop in it is probably all right that one you can true you can hard bypass it and you can set the level higher or lower so um most modern reverb pedals saying it's fair to say down handle line level no problem yes it's really only old school analog stuff that really that really doesn't yeah not not universally but as a general rule yeah so your modern whatever it is going to be reverb pedal wise is probably going to be totally fine in a level loop not that many amps have line level loops these days yep paul leonard ewing says i have 72 pedals on my board if i have a problem it's one of 73 cables indeed and we rather suspect you do from time to time joshua cheyenne josh i have been meaning to send you an email for some time now you said josh uh is an australian ergo legend and josh sent us a record that he did born of pure passion oh well with his mates live awesome playing blues [Music] i'm going to give you some context here i worked on a magazine where every record company artist whoever sent us their new record when it was released i had a room full of new music right and i had to listen to most of it all right and there came a point where i never wanted to listen to another new blues record again as long as i lived sure because you could write a blue song about that i was like albert king has already done this i gotta listen to it yeah yeah and it's my problem right it's not anyone else's problem but i felt that some of the output was perhaps not worth outputting sure if i'm gonna be honest about it josh your album is an amazing piece of work congratulations told you was a legend flipping hell man and i promise you i've been i've been meaning to send you an email i mean you don't need us to tell you it's good you know it's good because you did it i must play it to you okay great sound great playing passion feel all of the above congratulations well done and he also sent a bunch of pictures of his cuda caster oh cool that he's put together and it's obviously the whole project and everything is this labor of love and passion josh and it just it chimes so it actually it it arrived with me at a time where motivation was pretty low and i it was a real shot in the arm so thanks for taking the trouble to um to send that in wow it's a big deal anyway there you go mate i've got to kill her i've sent you the email publicly so i hope that's okay anyway his question is hi from queensland queenslander if you got to play one pro gig any style or band but using a les paul sg junior or esquire and one amp of any type or size with no pedals what amp would you pick and what and i'm going to add what guitar would it be out of all of those as well so josh is saying you get one guitar one amp and it has to be a single pickup guitar either a junior style or an esquire okay well i see i i came really close actually to already have done that but i had a big massive pedal board um playing my sg junior uh with tin spirits actually one of the best gigs we ever did was supporting marillion uh on one of their weekends away a few thousand people and there's tan and we um yeah me and dave gregory with our juniors that's cool yeah so junior and matchless together it's just the most glorious what would they give us what would the gig be ah some outdoor festival where you can where things are loud um probably prog in the park there we go patience it's coming it's coming we've got another meat face tonight if that's all right yeah we do yeah we do after working that job crazy through okay uh i would go well of my own guitars obviously i would go with my um [Music] oh actually this is tough right it is tough so my first answer is i go with my collings 290 dcs which is an astonishing guitar i would choose an amp that had reverb and trem in it ah that's cool so either a princeton or a luxury of uh probably a princeton the cranked or the luxury of a crank depending on how the loud gig was and i'd be playing with somebody like ifa o'donovan or sarah jeros and i'd be doing anthony decosta's job right i wanna play with yeah okay in a in an americana situation that's number one that's number one yeah number two i would improve my slide playing significantly and i would use my supro jamesport into a projector amp being schooled by blake mills and joey landreth in some sort of alt americana sci-fi movie weirdness with tape decks and record decks and all of that i'll change my answer yeah i'll take my junior into the princeton with a celestion gold in it cranked in the um [Music] the robert randolph family family band with my guitar turned off and i'm just stand there clap my hands yeah just listen just as they can play there you go just said you're just going to look at i'm just kidding i'm still in the guitar and going are you sarah the man excellent question josh thanks for that well done mate uh joe gainen hi joe um he says my first love show thank you uh i made it oh my first live show as a typo we thought we were your first love and it's actually your first live show which is just as good in fact it's better it's better um oh that is funny he says uh i've been a follower since the giggrick days i got to meet dan at the birmingham guitar show i can only apologize he says i missed mick which was probably a bit of luck for you on that day um a very big thank you you are my daily driving buddies keep it up thanks joe mate yeah how lovely thank you i think we remember did you ever if did you maybe have a camouflage guitar if i remember correctly i met someone that day with a camouflage guitar you said you didn't meet me so maybe it wasn't you it might have become a flash guitar but i couldn't see it sean jones hi sean mick you talked about the oracle having that thing uh the oracle being mythos oracle analog delay uh from the show on friday can you does that come back saying he's found a way to do that with the time no he sent me an email going thank you thank you thank you thank you for including the oracle on the show so maybe we should go back to him with that for those of you don't know dan did manual modulation by turning the delay time up and down ever so slightly using his hands and suggested if there's a way of doing that using control voltages in the oracle it would be really really brilliant totally because of course what's nice with control voltage is it keeps it analog sean jones mick you talked about the oracle having that thing can you distill down what features or properties you think create the magic yes i can um it's number one that the signal path remains analog so there's no digital to analog and analog to digital processing going on which creates latency and a bunch of other problems um and you then require filtering for power section and stuff like that so it's basically just it's all of it everything here you are potentially at odds with that is then what the delay does in the way it filters the sound yes so naturally those old bucket brigade delay chips or the bucket brigade chips which do the delay have a very well i guess random although it's not random once they're in the circuit but they they have a non-linear way in which they reproduce the sound and you lose a bit of top end you lose a bit of bottom end you lose fidelity as it goes and it's that loss of fidelity and the way in which the delay can sit under and provide this sort of supporting what was it you said somebody said andy timmons halo effect yeah halo sits above but it's the same thing it's like this enveloping quality around it which doesn't stomp over everything you're trying to play but nevertheless gives you this lovely cushion [Music] continue the analogy cushion padded cell to bounce off and enjoy greatly and and for me it's that and to explain that further if you've ever bought a delay pedal and you've turned it on and you've gone wow god that's just completely crashing over everything i'm trying to play i just don't get it which is definitely my first experience with delay the the discovery of analog delay is well actually no all the things that it does really badly fidelity yep noise is exactly what you need for it to sit underneath so that's how i would describe it dan taught me all of that or at least led me down the path of discovering all of that and i found it first in the analog man ar dx20 [Music] so magic and then all the things you've introduced me to since so all those classic old analog delays so so part of the conversation i had with dan today and we're talking about that and you know these old chips and uh you know but we're talking about how people filter them and voice them and you know what a lot of guys would do is they would eq it with a whole bunch of top end going into the delay huh and then that filter the top end out but with that filter to bring it back to closer unity as i can but with that filter that would reduce the noise yes right so you bring it down the top end to bring it back down to where it was yeah right but they're getting rid of the noise yeah but of course if you think where that filter's happening and then you get the regeneration you get that filter filter filter filter so it goes off yeah huh look and it's fascinating because that stuff wasn't invented for guitar you know it was invented to like stop um noise stuff happening on telecoms equipment yeah right you know it's like everything like everything else yeah yeah man it was fascinating i had to let dan go eventually but seriously i could sit on the phone with that guy for hours well there's there's podcast number four then there we go um yeah so that's how that's how i would describe it and there's certain digital delays in which you can do it so the future factory and the um the other free the tone delay do it very very well indeed flight time um and i guess on you know more modern stuff like boss dd200 dd500 timeline uh source audio collider delay station by or echo system by all the really great delays that we like you can do it to a to a degree and some of them some of them do it exceptionally well where you just filter off you know the repeat sits out the way and it gets worse as it repeats you can do that digitally but you know still nothing nothing sounds and reacts like a really great analog delay and then you stumble into all the other problems with analog delays they're really fussy about how hard you hit them they're really fussy about what comes after them so it's like as always there's no magic bullet is there is that the right phrase um anyway george radcliffe uh george says couldn't be happy with my harmonious monk from the tps store thank you buddy thank you so much george um if any of you have been waiting for monks we do have more in so if you want to buy one go ahead um i love the way the subtle harmonic harmonic trem from the monk adds a whole new dimension of movement when placed before my camera flange well done mick down and jam pedals i i use mine like that it's very very cool it's a yeah we love it yeah we do it's you know it's ours so we are likely to be enthusiastic about it but i genuinely love it i lent uh i get what gave one to ainsley lister actually who um has become a really good friend and i've been helping him expand his board a bit and went to a gig of his over lockdown uh oh sorry over my vacation fellow lockdown um and uh just watched him turning it on more and more frequently very heartening it's a cool thing george thanks so much for buying one um it's a big deal to us it really does help what we do brian carpenter hello brian hi brian he says hello dnm from michigan when eq'ing an amp but playing both a strat and a telly how often do you adjust the eq levels to accommodate the guitar um it's been a while since i've done a strat antelli gig i don't think you have for a long time have you no for a long time so the nearest thing we can get to that is tps every week where at least at some point dan's playing a telly and i'm playing a strat and we playing them into the same app so we don't make any adjustments the reason we don't do that is because we have the amp set the way we tend to set our amps is at the point of kind of most openness so it's as balanced as it can be give or take and then whatever you put into it is gonna respond in the way you want it does sound a bit utopian and it's not always possible it's slightly weird because you might think that on a on a with a telly for example you need to turn the treble down and if you've got really clean high headroom sound that might be the case dan's the opposite dan tends to run the amp a bit more on the edge than i do with more treble because what happens when you hit a strong signal into more treble well if if you have got headroom in the amplifier and you've got more treble they can get you can go ah but if you've got if the amplifier is limiting and then you hit it with the treble what happens is it's those frequencies that compress and bloom so it doesn't get all spiky just they they become all chewy and lovely and focused and it's that thing where you plug into an ac30 and you have the volume control there and you're like who on earth would ever crank this up yeah you crank it up and you're like haha yeah yeah it doesn't get any louder it's just like oh it's the volume control on an ac30 it should be called volume from there to about there and the rest should just be limiting yeah yeah yeah um and that's it so uh dan will overdrive the trebles a bit harder so eq wise he'll run more eq generally in the am more treble um because it's overdriving in it because it sounds really nice and i'll do that as well like if if if the amp is on the edge then i'll run all the eq a bit higher in fact my favorite way to run the two rock is with the eq switched out yeah so it's just full open when you're playing with a clean sound when you're trying to balance up pedals for sure you might find the telly's a bit spiky conversely you might find the strat is spiky because it's not driving those trebles so it really depends on the individual guitar yep um but setting the amplifier up so that it's it's working what i find is if you've got if you've got headroom to the point where it's just uh there's no limiting at all it's just all dynamic just louder it's just so what you'll do is you get these crazy transients from the bridge of the telly you get the strap will seem half the volume however get the amplifier sitting on that point yeah where it's working it's still clean but it's like you dig into a little bit then what happens is the bridge pickup of the telly is going to give you an edge and bite but it's not going to be overly harsh you're going to stick on the neck pick up with the strap it's going to bloom and be lovely but they'll they'll sort of be in the same ballpark actually that's really if you think about if you've been used to playing one style of guitar for years and years and years and you suddenly go oh what i need is a this i did it with les paul first and lo and behold first gig with the les paul i'm like wow this doesn't sound like my strap at all what do i have to do to this les paul to make it sound more like my strat go through 20 years of that and then you pop out the other end going hmm maybe i should be using this les paul to sound like a les paul totally and so that it doesn't sound like the strat and that's like the forehead slapping moment where you go it is ludicrous to pick up the guitar and try and make it to try and make them all sort of sound the same so one night you one might want to play the les paul the next night you want to might play the strat and you want to react the same i can say all sorts of nasty things about kempers if you want to do that but actually the great release in it is have atelier stratton les paul and go wow when i pick up the telly it's keef and it does have the extended trebles and it does have the bite and it does have all of that and like there are there are parts of it where i go oh really and i yeah i don't know if we've all got the the luxury of doing that these days but um that's how i would do it get the amp on the at its most open on all the controls and let the guitar be the guitar totally it is a bit utopian but try it yeah yeah totally sorry we're going really slow jason cara paisey nice to hear from you jason he says it's been a long time i started a job earlier this year that's that my free time to play guitar it's frustrating have you ever gone long periods where you just couldn't play and how do you cope ah that is really interesting um no what i would do if i'm really busy i'll get up early yeah and because i always feel better after i play if i haven't played guitar for a couple of days i might not necessarily be conscious of it but i'm like something's a bit off but i'm a bit messy yeah but i'll get off i'll get up early and just even just for 20 minutes bit of green tea just sit down and just let you know let the fingers do the talking baby yeah you know don't know what your um domestic situation is jason you know i i feel for people who not feel for people i i understand you know if you've got like a family a commute demanding job or even not a demanding job just one that takes up lots of hours um i don't know your evenings are filled with bedtime stories and yeah all the other things you need to do i don't even have kids you've got a demanding puppy though but even before the puppy and you know i find it hard to find time to play the guitar and part of that is a bit of a lie because i think it's very easy to come up with excuses that you don't have time you always have time it's just about priorities and if you if you are in a position where i know what your domestic situation is but if you do have you know less responsibility in your life then there is time and you will be able to find some time somewhere if you want to and it is a very thin line between not having enough time and not wanting to find the time that's the problem i have is the latter the other big thing though is i mean what are you listening to what are you listening to that inspires you to want to get up and play guitar and you know i find that if if i ever feel because you know i i'm i don't try to play guitar every day but i don't always feel that inspired and if i if there's ever a point where i'm like you know feel like i'm going through the motions i'll listen to something i'll put some classical music on yeah i'll put some i'll put something that i would have listened to in ages on um [Music] i'll go on to youtube and look at a an old danny gatten video or anything that'll that just sparks me go wow yeah yeah how how are they making that noise yeah um and it makes me want to explore you know with where sonic explorers make that's what we're doing yeah the other thing you could try is remove any of the barriers that stop you so one might be you physically got to pick up the guitar move your amp somewhere plug it in it doesn't sound like very much but if if it's in any way a hassle to do any of that that would be a great excuse not to do it so i don't know get some boss headphones and always have it so that the guitar is there it's plugged in charged ready to go and you can just pick it up at any time you just wander around the house doing the cooking with the with the headphones on i do that sometimes i do most of the cooking in our house so sometimes i'll just well in days gone by i would just have the guitar on while i'm cooking yeah and that would you know at least i'd have i'd be in touch with a guitar for half an hour a day yeah so yeah yeah um the testrio sorry someone someone says they've got a g2 and and they're having some teething issues it'll be something really simple just email support we'll go through it with you um and i'll yeah i'll check it once before we finish this but uh yeah don't worry mate we'll we'll get you sorted paul matulovich says happy labor day from the us happy labor day i have a cabinet question um you hear a lot about cab material but what difference uh what differences do construction methods make and what is their effect okay it's a really good question i was stunned when i first started exploring cabinets um a quick story we had a a young guy working for us a guy we handsome dave and he's also worked for mick lovely guy has the best feel just this you know kind of much like like he dave introduced me to dora brummel right there you go just this beautiful great feel yeah um and he had a two rock an old two rock uh amplifier jet playing through this old 2 by 12. and it was a it'll come to me in a minute because i can see the see what it's called anyway sorry bruno no bruno 2x12 cab i said that's great what speakers are in that they told me and say okay so i went bought the jet i got the same speakers put them in a two by twelve that i had and it was so far apart from the sound that dave had and i had it at work and got dave to play it you know so because obviously you know i couldn't believe it so i had to buy dave's 2x12 to put the speakers in and i was like and i couldn't believe the difference so if you talk to any cab designer and you know they talk about standing waves in the cab and resonant frequencies and all that sort of stuff it makes a massive massive difference and when you're talking about if you talk to um our very good friend tom waterman from universal audio when we're talking about setting up a little studio and you know where should we put the dampening stuff we told tom the what the room was made of and the dimensions he came back with a textbook specifically written for our room about all that stuff and what the material not in his capacity for ua by the way no no just as a practice as a mate yeah yeah because we've known tom for years and years and and it was it's astounding the depth that you can go into on that stuff construction method you know it's all a part of it um now that's not to say that some cheap uh particle board cabs aren't gonna sound great because i'm you know some of them are but every now and then there's a cab that regardless of what you stick into it yeah it's just right yeah so the key difference is in construction obviously the materials really do matter so um just how a if you get two cabinets are exactly the same make one out of really sturdy apply and one out of really lightweight pine as the original fender amps were some of the issues are you know the way that that material itself resonates is significant then comes what you do with the front and the back so the baffle which holds the speakers how much that moves and what it's made of and whether the cabinet is open or closed both of those things make a colossal difference to how the cab sounds and then whether the speakers are mounted behind the baffle yep or in front of it yeah and that makes a huge difference as well totally so all of a sudden you know maths alone says you've got all these variables you've got four ways of doing that times four ways of doing times four ways of doing that and each variable within those four ways is massive so it's very difficult i mean there probably are things you could say about a stiff baffle yep and a more flexible one yep and then of course is it stiff that way or is it stiff that way yep and where is it fixed in the thing uh whether the speakers like i said are at the back of the baffle or at the front makes a big difference so they do make a colossal difference and whenever you you know watching mesa boogie build cabs it's like well you you really do think about this don't you it's not going to check out go check out the bare-faced cabs demo to see what a construction difference can make but then the irony about that is how much do you think you they thought about that when they put that together right yeah so when when if the legend is true and all the players decided they wanted more speakers and it may it may or may not have been pete townsend and jim marshall said yeah that's all right we can put eight 12-inch speakers in this box and pete i'm paraphrasing said sod that is way too heavy can you cut it in half right which i assume which i am told is how the by 12 cab was born you know were they were they modeling that were they doing their you know they're getting the maths out and saying hang on pete let me just carry the one that the men in white coats say it needs to be made out of perhaps man rock and roll is built on happy accidents no all of music is built on happy accidents yeah my life is one very happy accident so yeah it does make a massive difference colossal colossal difference whether you can compute that into something that's going to help you buy a cabinet is another is another matter you can look you can lose yourself down that rabbit hole the thing is try some stuff out you'll find some stuff that you really like stuff that's like yeah maybe not so much i've got that bruno cab my master 2x12 cab um all the cabs who tried with the matchless until the matches came came along it's like oh okay yeah but the we tried so hard not to buy the matchless cab didn't we we did but in the end it's like just gotta be done but that man that using kettner two by twelve for the greenbacks in it wow lab sounding things ah magic i've got a slightly insane four by twelve on the way we do close by open top it's gonna have four jensen um raptor i think they are speakers can't quite remember the name in it and uh that's gonna be a bonkers cab literally no idea if it's going to sound any good [Music] jolly willard hello jolly the sir discovery has me guessing i use a classic boss dm2 mostly always on you have to manage the clipping mm-hmm yes you do what i was saying earlier about all the problems of analog delays yep especially if the delay is before overdrive how did you find the sir for headroom flexibility so really good to the point where it will work in the effects of an amplifier yeah probably what we liked about it mostly yeah it's an analog delay voiced right is a magical thing but one of the things is you know i've got varying amounts of signal that i'll put into it and it's always tricky the sir because of the the way it's designed or the headroom is one of my favorite things about it actually you know sounds great um but it just works with everything really really great piece of gear yeah very very cool um all things weatherly i just got a full drive to mosfet nice i typically use an odr mini in front of it so nobles odr mini full drive 2 mosfet and a pig tronics fat drive after i'm looking for a good clean boost for solos well there's a number of them uh check out the hamster um ascent yep it's like 36 db of just pure of crazy it's you know so if that's what you want just more yeah awesome um if what you i mean depends on your amp set yeah and what it is so let's assume it's a clean platform yep would you still go with the ascent if all i wanted was exactly the same sound but more yes generally speaking though that's not what i'm after no i'm after a bit of shaping and in that sense just a simple eq pedal yeah like one of the shows we're doing tomorrow we've got the mxr 10 band eq out man alive it sounds just great it's so flexible it's just got those key frequencies in and tighten up the bottom end a little bit hit the clone frequency or hit the tube screw frequency yeah you know it's like almost gonna suggest the nice eq as good anything at doing it because you can shape it how you want yeah you might not think you want to shape it that much but once you start shaping it you'll be like ah because right here's the thing audibility for solos is about being louder right it just is but it's not necessarily about being uniformly louder across all frequencies totally one of the problems with volume is as you turn up you're turning all the frequencies up and there is great benefit from going well actually i don't want to turn all those frequencies up i just want to turn these ones up a bit and those ones up a little these ones up a lot those ones up not too much and these sort of audible loudness of what you're doing might not seem that much more and yet it's perfectly audible for a solo because it sits in the mix better and that is a very complex way of explaining i apologize why an eq might be a better choice than a straight boost pedal certainly something to consider yeah yeah if you don't want the change in tone that you will get with the boost pedal other than that we would always say go for a clone type pedal because that does the job it rolls off a bit of bottom gives you a boost where you need it 1k and then up from there and it's just a very nice thing so a clone type yep yeah great yeah good luck yes indeed uh bovine aside bovina side bovine side bovine aside be worried if i was a bovine now that the hm2 waza is out is there an incoming david gilmore tones episode i think prince used it too we don't have one um i really loved um cs guitars video on the actual colin oh he did one did he he did one and it was fantastic i i really like colin's videos yeah yeah he's so i mean he's a like physics degree holder guy yep really so clever he does detail he re like yeah but his videos awesome i think all scots people should cost toss a cable at some point i had to eat haggis when i went to um edinburgh just because it's edinburgh and it's haggis i'd loved it it's nice good stuff yeah good stuff anyway um go and check out cs guitars hm2 show absolutely fascinating um i would love to play one i had one as a kid i couldn't get a sound out of it um [Music] i don't know what we would what we would possibly have to offer that yeah no no is the answer we we're not really into sound or like videos a primarily because we're not very good at them and b we don't really want to sound like anybody i think we're past sounding trying to sound like people tried because such a futile experiment um well i am more interested in the fact that that gilmore used it and that he used the big muff and yet when i listen to his guitar tones it doesn't sound anything like either of those pedals putting the cue before and after them and and uh your heart's content that's an interesting question totally um that's an interesting question that might be the more interesting question to me anyway yeah yeah nice um matt tucker hi matt he says gents i'm off on a nine month trip only able to take one guitar and no amp i wondered if you had this choice would you pick an acoustic or an electric direct into a laptop or something like the fender micro i'm going acoustic i'm going electric i'll tell you why because if you can take a laptop and an interface with you you'd be stunned what you can do in nine months um you know most mornings i get my the little boss buzzer air things out and have schwein while everyone's still asleep and i find it so inspiring um [Music] acoustics are great acoustics can be tricky to travel with though because of the way if you're traveling through different climates and different uh you know absolutely yeah yeah so you know there's a couple things to consider i just find that travelling and you know i've been lucky enough to to travel a bit with guitars and stuff and i just find that the um especially teles because they're such solid guitars i just have no problem going anywhere with them and get there and it's all good yeah i think if i was going to be static somewhere you know if you're going somewhere going to germany for nine months take acoustic um i don't well it depends doesn't it because sometimes an acoustic is just too loud for the environment you're playing in so i would i would be one thing that playing an acoustic for nine months and no electric will do is pretty much make your electric plane suck when you get back dude the issue that i had when i stopped doing um [Music] cover gigs in the bit you know with the by polar bears so bipolar bull yeah the high fidels and the bipolar bears was the duo so stop doing high fidel's and then doug and i were doing the bipolar bears like that was the main gig it was the worst apart from not gigging at all it was the worst thing for my playing ever because i was just you know you you you're playing [Music] chords and just you know doing the acoustic thing the electric sits on you so differently and you've got to do it it's like oh that's so weird yeah yeah i i thought it would help it really didn't yeah yeah so that may or may not be a consideration um well brian garcia says um david g used the hm2 for the momentary lapse album and the delicate sound of thunder tour he would push the hm2 into a muff with lower gain hm2 for distortion mid-range muffled low-end bigness interesting very interesting and i reckon that was also surrounded by a bunch of eq oh yeah well we know it was because you've seen his pedalboard yeah um oh i could say all sorts of things about pink floyd yeah cool yeah um i would take an epiphone casino nice very nice so you can do both yeah very nice uh bell tunnel i want to approximate the double harmonic trem things you did with joey landreth would two harmonious monks at the end of my chain work uh you'd have to have them in parallel yeah and they're definitely into separate amps yeah but if you have one amplifier you do them in parallel that would work that would be and how might somebody do something in parallel daniel well you've got to split the signal send them into the inputs come out of the outputs and then mix them there's a hundred different ways to do that yeah um josh scott's got his uh splitter and then summing amplifiers you can do it like that uh we make a thing called the wetter box you can do it like that uh there's a bunch of bunch of things that you can do it with yeah um the simplest way to do it though um is like the jhs splitter and then summer split that split up and the reason you're doing that is because you don't want one pedal affecting the other pedal one of the things that's so cool about the sound is that they're doing separate things and then if you feed you know that's that wave into that wave you're gonna get a combination of those two waves if you split them you're not the best thing now i don't know if this is open to you as an option bell um most of us have got the amp that we play and that's our favorite app but most of us have still got the pos that we don't play anymore or the last amp that we had or indeed something else quite nice we would thoroughly thoroughly encourage you to try wet dry and you can watch many of our videos on that and split those two harmonic drums doesn't have to be two harmonics monks it could be a harmonious monk and any other harmonic trim but yeah two hormone smokes would be really killer um and split them into two separate amps and just it's just so massive be born anew at the hail of a new but just it's so interesting what happens when you just put when you split your the signal and you just put one into one amplifier you still get this movement but but having separate monks different times into the different amplifiers it's it's amazing and you can do the different time thing but also try them the times just off a little bit yeah yeah and you get this thing and that ends up just such a great oh man that's a great yeah yeah very really cool uh i think you're about to say something were you doing um you're right uh simon park said mixed moans the pink floyd edition yeah so when you were talking i said there's lots of things i could say about pink floyd that would probably get me murdered basically i gave up after dark side of the moon right uh yeah i'll i'll get to that side of moonlight so if you could if you could if you could educate me um thereafter i would be interested yeah i mean the wall maybe maybe the wall yeah i think what i thought was was amazing yeah but you can tell i don't really know much um connor larkin hello from michigan you both have some choice guitars mick which of dan's guitars is your favorite and dan same question for you mine is mix 335. mine is dan's 61 less paul jr easy very good um seattle phil i'm thinking of getting my first strat in the next couple of months with a budget of 2 to 3k i'm looking at ultras but i have a lot to learn about strats what are your initial tips or factors to think about did a whole show on strats please watch it phil and that will it's so if you're going to spend that sort of money please watch the show because all those there's no quick way because there's no i'm i was stunned because i'm not really uh i used to play straight years ago before it was stolen but i don't really know huge amounts about strats and i was because i play a telecaster which is a relatively simple guitar strats man there's so much going on there so please watch the show phil and it will take you through everything and i think what will also happen is you get a bit of a better idea of what you're looking for yeah in a strat as well that's that's where you start phil it's um so a big part of it is going to be what guitar you're coming from so if you're coming from a fairly refined easy to play powerful sort of guitar and by that i might mean i don't know if you're into posh guitars like sirs or anderson's or um prs uh you know like modern guitars that are easy to play and sound massive strat's going to be really really hard work for you um but liberating at the same time jimmy james says that episode was fantastic thank you thank you jimmy uh if you're coming from the world of a telly or a junior style guitar or something more vintage then it will be a little bit easier transition for you um the first decision to make is whether you want a more traditional type strat or whether you want a modern strat and that you mentioned that ultras is interesting so there's a bunch of things about the ultras that's pretty cool and definitely if you're coming from a more modern guitar easier to play more powerful wall of that the ultra is going to appeal to you i've got one in a box out there actually which i'm going to make a video on for various reasons i will say controversially that it's not a strat to me a strat is the spec that existed between 1954 and 964. that is what strat is that's what that's what and when did it not become a strat like post cbs well to be uh to be fair let's not put a date on it because there's plenty of 70s strats that are really fantastic 68 69 70 especially so many of those guitars are just designed are everything that i would ever want a strat to be yeah and play i played plenty of 70 strats that are really really nice too so what i mean is by the time it goes to two point bridge yes okay modern style pickups spread bodies uh that are heavy um you know regular viewers will know i'm no fan of uh modern finishes either that old strat thing and that's not to say that all old strats were good because they really really weren't so my personal preference is for a strat that's as close as possible to the old spec lots and lots of people really hate that for lots of reasons one is how curvy is the fingerboard right can you play a really curvy fingerboard with tiny frets do you want weak pickups do you want that trim that requires a year's learning in order to be able to use it properly or do you want something that's easier fuller sounding easy to play a trem that works in which case the ultra is a really good shout we don't really go into that on that video that dan just mentioned because we talk specifically about the kind of strats i like which are the old school ones they're more work harder to live with if you don't come from that world but for me that is the strat sound for whatever the hell that means sure because who have we got hendrix knopfler clapton gilmore jeff beck all sound phenomenally different yeah yeah totally so we i wish you luck on it yeah but check out that video and i think you find that really helpful with this uh journey this so i'm going to be 48 years old in march and that will be i got my first strat when i was 14. so i've been playing strats for 34 years and i still am [Music] largely none the wiser so it just keeps you know dive in buy the one you like the color of there you go there you go good luck um shawnee is cubs fan one shawnee is cubs fan one hi guys hi guys what victory v4 pedal would be the best to pair with an rk50 for the most versatile sound i'm a blues rock hard rock player cheers from chicago interesting does the rk50 have an effect sleep series effects loop yeah okay great um so as you know rk50 absolutely killer i i think it might be my favorite victory really apart from the v140 uh it would be my favorite rock victory app yeah the rock turned like the i mean to be fair cleanup is amazing right yeah gorgeous the v140 is my favorite overall i've had to get one it'd be that one but yeah that's um of the volume control on that thing magic really really great sounding app um it's tough depends so your uh blues and blues rock and hard rock it's i don't know what else you'd want really it could be that the kraken would give you more contemporary hard rock tone uh if that's what i thought yeah the kraken's killer and it might be i don't know if they've done the have they done the vc35 copper one yet that might give you some more hairy ass um chewy gritty yeah boxy type thing if you want that um probably wouldn't bother with the countess which is now called the jack uh because i like that you've got all of that in your rk50 right um i'd probably it yeah it depends which way you lean [Music] um now it might be that the duchess could be a good shout too if you want cleaner tones because remember when you use the v4 series if you use it in the way that it sits in the effects loop it cuts off the front end of your amp so you so you might find that if you want maybe some warmer more classic 60s type clean tones then the the the countess could uh sorry v14 yes the duchess could be the one to go for so if you lean more you know if you listen to rabia more than you listen to john mayer uh go for the for the kraken if you want cleaner crunchier sort of warmer clean tones go for the duchess lovely there you go sorry i can see dan is literally dying hoping that i can't hurry up that's so good um you hungry yes um we do have quite a lot to go okay um oh my god we have a lot to go okay let's bang him out i think we do need to oh my god that's okay let's go let's go i'm good i just have a glass of water uh music therapy laz gentlemen this may be blasphemy but i have yet to buy a flanger pedal option paralysis what do i buy i'm a huge andy summers fan okay any summers you need an electric mistress look at the new electro harmonics offerings they've got some fantastic i mean you know they created the mistress the guy that created the mistress still works electro harmonix so yeah budget budget version dan uses the mua elect lady which is no longer called the elect lady i don't think or it might be anyway yeah muah elect lady dan has used that and for uh a less cheap option the thorpy camouflage is the one that you would recommend isn't it i love that thing it's so beautiful good luck brestart or bruise art no tart at all bruise art greetings from belgium oh greetings indeed oh bruss is going to be isn't it brussart brussels brussels right i notice you've changed the mics you use on the cabs what are they and do you still like the sontronics the sound on the analog analog delay episode was amazing um yeah we do like the sontronics delta so lovely we do wonder if ours needs servicing because they seem to start sounding pretty dark so i don't know if we've battered the i mean bear in mind they get battered weak out hammered so i don't know if it's that um i was finding that i was rolling on a bit more eq than i would have liked uh regular viewers will know that when i do the audio we add a bit of 10k and we had a bit of 3.2 k 3.2 k gives bite to distortions 10k to 12k gives you what we would call air presence um and that and i was phoning i was having to roll a bit too much of that on so the even with the ribbon mics right on the center of the speaker now we know that ribbon mics tend to be a bit warmer that's why they get used and why they're loved so much and then just for the halibut a friend of mine said you should really try these austrian audio oc 18s i think you really like them background to that is they are somewhat similar to older akgc c414s and we like the 414s we use them as room mics anyway i gave them a try and um it was like sort of taking a cloak off again wasn't it yeah yeah yeah and i really really really really like them and don't do hardly any eq now it's not that normal to use a large diaphragm capacitor microphone on a guitar cab more commonly would you would use dynamics and ribbons for the what we need to do here at that pedal show we want to capture as much of the sound of that amp as possible and in that respect a nice capacitor mic can work really good we used to use neumann tlm 102s because they were the only thing that could handle the two rock when it was cranked um but yeah i just like them i really like them very little corrective eq to do and they they just seem to capture the sizzle in the high end in a way that we really like um i think you like them don't you love them i think they sound beautiful they work great um i have actually just acquired a pair of meris preamps analog preamps which we're going to try cool i want to get i want to get the signal chain as analog as possible as far as possible yeah and i want to see because i still here i still hear the digital on stuff and you know when you hear a great mic into a great analog console to tape we're never going to get there unfortunately um it's a different experience it is it is anyway shall i hurry up down um or shall i keep going no let's should i talk some more about that can we i've been using the uh suntronics orthous for my vocal on this ap and it's beautiful i absolutely love it yeah monks are an interesting thing oh there i love microphones anyway austrian audio oc 18 is what we're using very nice john newquist hey john hey john uh no question so i'll see if bev has sent us one meantime jeff harper will he be playing the purple telly anymore in some episodes um i won't be uh the squire maybe maybe yeah maybe it that sounds great they could tell it does sound good um [Music] it sounds it sounded really really good in that video uh okay so no not yet from john newquist um yeah sorry to be so brief with that answer um yeah maybe maybe maybe maybe i don't really play telly's that much and if i do i want to play my spell one yeah dan plays telly's a lot and if he does he wants to play his 65 or his red one and that's pretty much all butters yeah so those three i mean the squire's not going to get much of a looking in that company it's not going to have those 3000 go you know what today i feel like uh purple but doesn't mean it's not a great guitar maybe we could auction it for charity or something i do have pangs of guilt all these guitars sat here and none of them ever get played it does that is becoming a problem for me psychologically it's so pretty though yeah um gabor mata hi dnm because of you and josh scott i got into diy pedal building nice gabor or gabor i'm not sure how to pronounce that um i built my first governor and a friedman b-e-o-d copy so thank you for being so inspiring next round of beer is on me well thank you for that good you can you can email us how you intend to supply us with that beer and we will uh gladly receive it um you know let get your people to talk to our people we'll get the ball rolling and let's see if we can't get that uh liquid refreshment happening that'd be great he's already done it mate legend thank you thank you elena stacy finally got a protein after hearing it on the sounds in the teleshow says elena uh thought on running a tumblr's deluxe first and using the eq in the tunnels deluxe to play with the character of the breakup or other fun combinations so i think the thomas deluxe would work great after the protein um the for me it's got too much bottom end sticking it in the front i think do you you might want to get a bit wooly deluxe has got the eq on it oh the deluxe has got the eq on it oh okay well in that case yes because the protein is interesting right you've got your your um nobles audio ones another one and a blues breaker type now both of those are quite fat yeah pedals right they surprisingly they stack well surprisingly stack well the great thing about the tumnus that if you can just bring that bottom end down a little bit kicking into the front end of that will really sizzle those mids up give it a bit of spark and clarity yeah and i personally for me i love that stuff it will also work equally well though after yeah so try that try stuffing it into the front boost the trebles bring the bass down in the front and just get it like yeah get everything really squashing yeah and and just hammer it and i don't know pretend you're jack white or brian may yeah for a minute excuse me i i heard i won it all on the radio yeah here's the the guitar playing in the earping of that song oh man it's perfect it's so good awesome or stick it after and use it like a clone type booster exactly roll off a bit of the bottom end yep and it just does that really lovely thing just lovely thing really good i love it that way anyway daniel chavez hello daniel he says i want an amp to pair with my vc35 deluxe which has celestian golds victory share of 44. you need to order some celestian golds or a celestian gold okay okay yeah i need a 10 inch one and a 12 inch one okay um victory sheriff e4 zero 44 or v40 deluxe wet dry low mid gain classic rock is the goal i would go v40 deluxe personally i think the sheriff 44 wonderful marshally beast that it is hand on heart i do not love it at low volume right yeah sure saying that though when i was i love it cranked yeah when i so was the sheriff 22 i was i was uh when i first met graham coxen he was at his home studio and he had a sheriff i think it was the sheriff 22. he did and he had at the other end of his he's got all those stage clothes right this brass of stage clothes and he had it in the center of that it's right at the other end of the room and he'd just pull the clothes all around it with a mic in it cranked yeah and that's how he records everything so it was like mike on an amplifier yeah and he goes you know this is this is how this is how and then he plays it back it's like oh my goodness you're amazing yeah um anyway just had to say that amplifier records beautifully it is a tough choice it's a tough choice i personally would go v40 deluxe uh partly because i love the tremolo in it and partly because that's just my thing i think the vc35 is doing the sizzle upper high mids thing [Music] and the share 44 will do a lot of that as well so i i actually think i mean they're both going to work great i think the v40 deluxe for me yeah yeah i can care uh andy k welcome back chaps do you have any tips or advice to improve singing while playing i can do one or the other but really struggle to multitask yeah practice yeah it's good yep there's no easy way around it no i remember watching sting play it's really syncopated bass line and just singing so effortlessly going yeah how do you do that but then it's just okay i'm learning a song at the moment a king crimson song called frame by frame right which you played all over friday's video by all again i played a little bit of it i found a little bit of it interestingly the reason friday's video was late just while dan prepares his performance here um uh we uploaded the video and it gets stopped in checks i played didn't even play that bit i played doo doo doo doo of um van halen's ain't talking about love oh yeah yeah in the right key but definitely not with the right sound right got flayed well no it got stuck in check and it got stuck in check to the point where i didn't think it was ever going to come out of being stuck in check so i re-edited the video i took that one and a bit seconds out of the video [Music] i then re-output and re-uploaded which takes i don't know three or four hours maybe it flew through checks yeah but you can play kinky rooms with all day and get away with it because i play it so poorly no one would ever recognize it i think that's what it is we know that van halen is pretty hot on their copyright i don't think it was that i actually think it was a software glitch but yeah right but see there's the the front there's a there's a rifle um um uh oh man right this is going all the way and then it's that sing over top of that frame by [Music] and you know i first heard that thinking how on earth am i going to make that work you just slow it right down just stop you get your you get your i'm thinking okay there's one but there's the melody tonight um and you just start and then work out where it's hard and you work extra hard on that bit uh yeah and there you go there you go practice honestly i'm trying to things the ones that i really struggle with one of the songs we we did in the tps band set uh life in the fast lane i cannot play that riff and seeing life in the fast lane you're laughing the first thing can't do that can sing manic depression all day long and play that no problem it's so interesting um what else can we do some more giggs saying please what else did we used to do i'll tell you if you're doing some more gigs soon please uh i'm going to ignore that dan come on it's time yeah we do need to do more gigs for sure paul patty's been set out in his van now outside there for over a year waiting for us waiting for the call we've been living on pot noodle sat in the van every now and then can we can we play again guys please um [Music] literally can't sing over that but can do that all day um [Music] got a good reason [Music] so it's interesting isn't it because you're not taking it it's when you're doing i guess what we're used to doing yeah people who are singers and guitar players are used to playing chords yeah so yeah what we haven't even said is start with some chords yeah yeah yeah and just yeah yeah but when you count when it comes to doing it's complicated more complicated stuff the only the only way to do it start down and just work through it yeah yep yeah i'm sure there's some cognitive process by way the more you do it then you attain some sort of muscle memory and therefore this isn't it your cognition is yeah it clicks into place it becomes presumably the um the physical equivalent of a of an acronym yeah you know bmw is three separate things but it's one thing isn't it it is well it's three letters right the reason acronyms work is because they come what they become yeah of course yeah yeah yeah yeah it's a single thing not three things yeah i'm sure that's how it works anyway sorry oh god we're never gonna finish dan the meat feast may not happen don't say that please don't say that probably with apologies to the uh vegetarians um and vegans um oh god oh god yes andy um practice makes better is what we all say john hatton hey leggings love the show thank you john possible name for a random pedal game a viewer suggested who wants to be a mjolnir thanks john your incredible generosity to us in making that gag is thoroughly thoroughly appreciated that is fantastic paul harmington hello paul hey paul uh dan i've got a question and hello from the la area can you explain how pedal order works in stompbox mode in g3 is it tagged at the end of the chain or can you define it no so it's defined in the preset so you have to have a preset that you use in stomp box over you define the pedal order in the preset so um you know if i've uh i if i've got a preset i define the pedal order i don't necessarily have to have the pedal selected in that preset to find the pedal audio preset and then when you select stop box mode it'll it'll go in the order the presets programmed in i've actually just done a video on that i've got a whole bunch of new g2 videos that are coming out uh next week or so yeah i'll just get some graphics together but it explains all that stuff but that's yeah it's all defined by the preset so if i've understood that right let's say you choose preset one yep that is a preset yep you then go into the menu yeah and you set up your pedal order as you want them yes then within preset one you assign whatever you want in stompbox mode for the switches well the stompbox mode presets are set up separately to preset one right so let's say i've got my in preset one my chorus is in loop five and my flange is in loop seven for example right and in preset one i want my chorus to go after my flanger in preset one i go in there to loop order and i put my uh my flanger first loop seven and then i press loop five and that's the order then i then i go to two stop box presets that i want to be my chorus and my flanger right and one stop box preset i probably got that to be loop five another stop box preset i programmed that to be loop seven now i hit preset number one right and at the moment i don't have the chorus of flanger turned on but when i hit the stop box presets to turn on those loops on top of that uh the normal preset that's the order it turn that it'll it'll put the flanger first and then the chorus if we go to the second preset that doesn't have the the loops turned around like reordered it'll put the chorus first and the flags a second so yeah i explained it it's hard to do i can i can it makes perfect sense in my brain but unless we're we're using graphics to show how it works it's quite hard to explain if you've got a g3 and you're working on it you'll understand the difference between a presets a normal preset and a stompbox mode thing it'll be it'll all make sense do you want to release the video there we go sorry it will become clear it will become clear i get confused because i know presets and stock box mode i didn't know they were preset stock box presets well you have a preset stompbox modes are separate to the presets they work on top of the preset yes right that i did understand right so all i'm saying is you define the loop order in the preset if you go to a different preset with a different loop order the stop box modes all still work oh i see but the order that they're going is defined by the preset so you can have but so what you can't do then is if your preset is one yeah you can't have a pedal on stompbox mode on one no no that's what i was missing exactly exactly that all is clear uh paul mazulovich again hey paul have yinz heard about joey's new album covering lol george yes we have as we we were should privy to that wonderful information a while ago i've been listening to it for a long time amazing it is an astounding piece of work some of the guitar tones on there i had to send him a text and i'm like have you like done loads of speeding up and slowing down of stuff and he's like nope i'm like okay load of direct tones then direct to desk he's like yep some it is an astonishing piece of work it's a labor of love if you're not little feet loud george fan it may not make a lot of sense to you in which case you need to go and listen to all those records if you've listened to those records and then you listen to what joey's done here holy crap what an amazing piece of work yep so i don't know when he's going to bring it out but um he said i found the your incident too funny so here's more pa slang for you pennsylvania i guess uh yinz yinz okay as opposed to y'all i think in the center oh really in the south they say ends they say uh y'all okay how yin's doing yeah i said that means something completely different yeah i've got it completely wrong the ends over here yang's over there yeah um uh knotted bum hucker says dan any plans on making a very simple pedal switcher for eight to ten pedals without the power supply at a lower price point love you guys uh no plans as yet i'm in the middle of six or seven different things at the moment which is loads of fun uh but yeah i mean no but oh you know never say never we'll see yeah you um presumably you know about the the qrx loop switches which are not pedal switches as such although they do have some basic functionality with something called flip-flop mode which can give you some it steps you towards a full loop switcher but doesn't give you kind of you know turn three pedals off and full pedals on but that's certainly a good stepping stone if you want something simple corey nichols happy bundy legends thank you corey leggins uh shout out to my best mate an amazing guitarist ya boy allen and his new blue strat i now have strat envy so uh your boy alan congrats on the new strat corey has envy thanks corey awesome chris liddle or lydell chris little liddell or leidel i like the middle of lydell sorry lidar's reminding me of something it's not quite there yet he'll counter that's where you can find the most amazing items that aren't true they're little middle of little just the things they i keep wanting to send you texts in there but i've decided i'm just going to start buying things and bringing them in okay yeah uh he says hi dm do either of you any tips uh have any tips about reducing fretting pressure i tend to push too hard on strings oh man i hear you especially slightly awkward chords and jumbo threats so right jumbo frets nightmare an absolute nightmare for that and if you push too hard trying to intonate on jumbo frets is the worst i had read refretted with jumbo frets had to take it back and get the the thinner more vintage specs puts it put in yeah what i find is really tricky with fretting pressure is when things get loud and i start to go because i'm rocking out and it's fun and i start to hit that i'm trying to get more out of a note you know um the great thing is that you're aware of it and so if you're aware of it and you want to change it you can deal with it but it's uh you know find someone who has got a touch that you really like and see if they'll show you how they do it and give you some things to try um because it's a real discipline try some lighter strings so you don't have to push them so hard yep or try some really really heavy strings yeah so so change the string gauge one of the benefits of lighter strings is you'll soon find out because you're pushing too hard all those things he was just saying about intonation but then pushing hard and the grip and all that is part of sound for a lot of people change your playing position so if you find you sat down the whole time in the kitchen go to the lounge room stand up try that it's about changing something physical in the process which forces you to make a change that may be conscious or unconscious so string gauge change and change your playing position see if that helps and then maybe also actively try and put as little pressure on as possible and see what you can get away with yeah as an exercise yep i agree completely um this might agree i agree listen to the tone change in gripping and gripping less yeah and start using it yeah yeah matthew gordon hi matthew he says guys thanks for the knowledge and hangs new single from the delta sound wake up streaming now the delta sound the delta sound wake up is streaming now peace the delta sound wake up what's the rage against the machine wake up at the end of uh matrix yeah very good um still don't understand why anyone would want to be out of the matrix still don't get that what that would have been out of it yeah still don't understand why didn't i choose the blue pill why wouldn't you why do you want to be chased by like massive scary robots and like all that yeah i just want i i just want the bliss of the peace adam stewart i know sam what a stake in the matrix as well sam webster um name one pedal each uh [Music] electric mistress there's more to it than that then there's more to electric mistress than electric mistress electro harmonic electric mistress flanger filter plunger matrix filter flanger matrix yeah isn't that what it's called yeah there you go got there in the end okay have i lost this challenge it's just if you're going to name it name it okay um ibanez ts808 tube screamer very good thank you thanks sam adam stewart is that a shin a super fuzz over dan's head no of anyone making fuzz whilst today unrelated future factory is unreal thanks for the recommendation so small uh there we go so we've got this one here there you go come on focus focus focus there we go is that one there and this one here i'm looking down so it doesn't focus on my face surely there are people making fuzz whiles which is the the wah fuzz variation on this which is the odd ufos i do have another duo fuzz but the label hasn't fallen off though i'm not sure if it sounds as good as this one though uh defender bender was that a fuzz war no defender defender blender or defender the fender blender was the octave fuzz thing okay so the answer is uh kai no adam adam yes it is but i don't think it's a shin a branded one isn't it so uh i'm sure this is shanae but it might be if this might be a an oem version yeah they were made under mini oh this is a kimbara yeah sorry they're they're they they appeared under many men many many different brand names um does anyone make one dunno that would be a question for mr google i'm sure they do um do you know of any done no it's so interesting because it's it's basically the same circuit as though as the gui files or the you know that style circuit um and the wiring is fergion unusable they're so popular it's really interesting it's definitely the white's definitely got its own sound but it's quite unique yeah okay there you go adam um kai strawn says welcome back i'm looking for tremolo no i actually say welcome back he says welcome back um i'm looking for a tremolo pedal and i just saw the harmonious monk is back in stock very enticing oh good i was also considering a chase bliss gravitas but how do these compare and do you have any other recommendations uh gravitas is amazing it's really flexible gravitas it's the other one to try yeah and if because if you want midi and programmability and all that sort of stuff gravitas is is great yeah um harmonious monk is a harmonic tremolo i think you can get harmonic modes of the gravitas though um but harmonious monk is very simple compared to that you know it's als it's all through hull components and handmade and all that sort of stuff um but you know just depends on what you want like for me that just gives me everything you know how many this monk i have it on that one setting and it's just glorious if you want loads of different settings from it uh yeah gravitas is awesome yeah i mean you say trem if you specifically want a harmonic tram then i would say those are the two to to really look at yeah um if you want just a regular tremolo pedal there's plenty of choice out there yeah um which you don't have to worry about the harmonic bit obviously the reason we made the harmonious monk is because nothing else out there quite did it for us um and working with jam on it was an amazing opportunity we think it's the best one out there but we would leave it to you to decide that do watch demos of the gravitas because it is a superb thing yeah superb thing with many more many many many many many many many more options that doesn't do harmonic no it doesn't but you do it's got two separate tremolo lines that's the stone def tremotron yeah really really nice yeah um when you go super quick you can get ring mode sounds out of it yeah sorry kai that we can't be a bit more helpful it's very difficult asking us to recommend other pedals over our signature pedal we try and be as magnanimous about it as possible we wouldn't make the harmonious monk if we didn't think it was the best thing available so um that suits us exactly yeah so it's very hard to then um but yeah if you if you're gonna check out another one definitely definitely the chase bliss yep uh personally we would avoid anything digital that does the modulation digitally um but again that might work for you as well yep so good luck i hope you find something that really works john newquist hi john nice to hear from you he says hello from petaluma home of mesa boogie among other things nice uh can you recommend some valve preamp pedals with low gain blackface voice that will warm up the power section of my jc40 uh yes the blackbird from effect droid yep really lovely um victory v40 the duchess the yep the that is pedal v4 v44 um something from simon kingsley so simon jarrett at kingsley he will make a version of the maiden and i think it's called the maiden f if that's bang on then that's so impressive that you know that it's very good the maiden comes as a d or an f okay d for dumbbell f fender i believe that's worth a really worth a good luck we always love simon's stuff yeah yeah yeah um might be a bit of a weight on it but yeah any of those three will do the job um tom harrell evening leggings i play a les paul into a jtm30 and a princeton jtm30 don't see too many of those but it was a three by ten wouldn't it one of them was really i think so wow or maybe that was the six ten um a light speed handles the low gain angry charlie the high gain but i can't find a medium drive pedal that really works what are your ideas so that you've got a light speed for the low gain an angry child so uh a blues breaker type thing for the medium gain yeah i mean king of tone is is the ultimate but something like a morning glory uh is is a really good shout um the protein wonderful medium gain tones and that uh yeah that would be my suggestion or you know even a blues driver boss blues driver uh there was a version absolutely killer yep so i think with the pedals that you've got though that you like those i think a blues bracket thing voicing wise will work really well i think it will too i'm just trying to see if there's anything obvious that we've missed oh the if you want a bit more mids in there though something like the gladio yeah gladio sc is a good shout out yep really good shout out that's lovely yep [Music] gunshot thorpy guns i always want to mention thorpe because everything thorpey makes is blue and brilliant yeah so yeah there you go there's some suggestions for you tom um hope you enjoy that clonacaster i like you already he says i just got news saying my lazy j10 will be sent this month oh man i can't wait where's dan's j20 can we have a tweed special episode playing it yesterday playing it yesterday at home jesse is going to come on we're going to do a tweed show we've got a whole bunch of things that we're organizing with guests coming on it's a little bit tricky to coordinate things at the moment but uh it is going to happen i've been talking to jesse about doing the show for ages i love jesse he's great i love his amps um [Music] yeah so it is going to happen but yeah my j20s at home playing yesterday just glorious um it would be great to do to each other it really would it really would um ed bromiel hi ed hi ed he says hi lads i've recently got an esquirey issue and i'm thinking of installing a neck pickup dan have you ever tried the 50s wiring in a telecaster yes i hate it you know me too yeah i served no practical purpose for me whatsoever why do you hate it because so mud just mud the so the 50s one telecaster where you've got the if you've got a an esquire which is a single just the bridge pickup but you still have the switch on there and what it does is you've got it engages the one way the tone controls off the next way the turn control is connected and one way the toe control is basically all the way turned off um and it's like just mud and dark and yeah i've found no use for it at all neck pickup in there glorious context for that is dan likes bright sounds yeah yeah so there we are um i've never tried it i i can see what they're going for and you know some people make it work i've never heard a sound from that thing i thought oh yeah that's great not just physically there you go sorry for the uh slightly less than enthusiastic answer ed uh will poinor says hello from hattiesburg ms when the smoke blowed out of venezuela um that was a steve hill song by the way it was him in the room i thought you were doing your tom white's impressions um that was the alice record just in case you don't have alice by tom white and if you don't have alice by tom waits what the hell's wrong with you um anyway thoughts on the demeter reverberator and used in front of a hybrid custom 50. i've got a monk recently and it is ace thank you well thank you will for buying the monk that's a big deal to us and we're glad you like it dimita reverbulator is a true spring reverb pedal that's got a long and a short tank in it yes and tomato make awesome awesome stuff yes they really do yes the only question you've got really is how you run the highway in the front end because if you're going to use it gainly if you're going to be pushing the front end of that amp and it's overdriving then you're going to get the effect of reverb in front of overdrive which is a really cool sound but it's not necessarily the sound everyone wants from you you'd have to be running the highway pretty hard it's 50 not 100 still i know i know so what 50 but if you're running it fairly clean and you just want a really nice reverb it's going to be awesome if you do run it gainey then you're going to get into a bit of that massive splashy huge you know knocking on the door of shoegaze bloom that you get when you run reverb before overdrive so just think about that otherwise killer joe madison says he tackles every time he hears leg ends there we are there you go the other way you could do it if um are all 50 watt high what's for input no if it is for input you could try running it through the jump of the channels so we jump the channels on our hi what ie you connect one channel to the other channel you can put the reverb unit in between that might be worth a try if for example if the normal channel is less gainy than the brilliant channel it might be cleaner sounding all right dad good mate good i just hear baby i hear the meter call him meet salad instagram or meat um john partridge he says hi both i got an echo fix tape echo to use live after watching your video i've got a 15 more doctor z amp okay do i need more headroom how loud are you playing maybe not um yeah i mean 15 watt dr z is that's loud that's loud yeah i mean it's very different from a 15 line six spider with just respect to the line six spider yeah yeah um but yeah it's a very different kind of 15 watts yeah i mean you know try a a a a ladder with more hedgeroom but no not necessarily i think they'd be for for everything but stadium gigs that's perfect i mean you do if you're running it into the front of the amp and it's over driving too much then you do yeah but if you like the sound of it and it sounds great to your ears then no you don't yeah yeah gee barge who's in hawaii i believe oh yeah he says good morning from oh oh ahu oh ahu visiting my son i just wanted to say cheers and happy you back also shout out to dusenberg and andersons for their brilliant book of acts session man guitar oh wow sounds and plays great uh with a small setup aloha hello hygiene um i didn't know they'd done that no so they've done a duesenberg via anderson's with tom booker back have they doesn't surprise me i'm not sure it's just a tom big evac model that that duesenberg are doing and they're selling in their millions great good i hope tom is accepting a large royalty of that um nice one g good to hear from you hope you're well and enjoy hawaii never been really want to go aloha yeah mahalo yeah that's it that's what i say right yeah um did you know coconut can lower blood pressure oh yeah coconut's amazing i had no idea yeah not good if you've got local blood pressure though it's not good if you've got low blood pressure okay at all well it's but it's it's coconut tom robinson and he says hi both i have strapped with emg mid boost which really helps for certain pedals for guitars without mid boost knob i was thinking an eq pedal could do a similar job any suggestions for a good eq yeah msr10 band is fantastic it's on the board uh g7 wonderful um free the tone do a really good programmable one they do and their loads are available yeah source audio do a really really good programmable one yep um there's a lot of good ones out there i think the danger is you could uh you'd be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut here what you want is a very specific boost at a very specific set of frequencies so it shouldn't be that hard um it might be worth doing a bit of research into what that mid boost is actually doing how many db at what frequency and it could be that you could recreate that fairly simply um yeah good luck good luck um victor gustafsson hello victor hello he's from sweden or at least he is in sweden he says welcome back i'm looking for my first gibson as well as a p90 guitar would you go es330 your standard les paul 50s gold top i don't have a gibson solid but an ibanez am93 oh boy uh the tps atp episode slowly ruins me so right a 330 maybe a really a good sounding 330 is one of the best guitars easily it's so i don't know what it is but the way that things put together the clarity in that thing it's you know as opposed to say a three three uh three through five with like p90s obviously you know it's different thing but you know what i mean that it's such a different sounding thing it's yeah completely different yes and it's it's wonderful absolutely wonderful so your ibanez is a semi-hollow smaller body thing i guess what might answer the question is when you play the ibanez do you want more of the hollow or do you want more kind of tighter let's put it another way um the more solid you make that guitar and the smaller the body the more it's going to punch in the mid-range be tight hold on to distortion and all those things the more you increase the size of that body the more air you put in it the more air there is going to be around the note the very different envelope on the front of that note um in terms of the sort of it's much less like that that's what a solid body with a p90 does yeah does that a hollow body guitar with a p90 does that there you go there you go explained it by dancing david tompkins says i throw coconuts at guitarists with poor tone and i find it massively it massively lowers my blood pressure don't throw a coke in that then the poor guys just just point them to the to the channel yeah there you go there you go um also what volume do you play out if you play really loud yeah and you have a really good point you have the luck to play loud you'll get a lot of fun out of a solid body your 90s the 330 is going to present different challenges at volume big challenges at volume you will find it almost impossible to stop it feeding back at volume even with just mild gain however if you do play at low volume that can be such a great advantage because yeah where it's hard to get a solid body guitar going at long at low volume resonating the resonance and the sort of player feedback of a hollow body at low volume is a really satisfying thing so hopefully some of that would help yep indeed and um a nice i don't know either a used gibson memphis 330 with vos finish is a really spectacularly good looking thing yep um paul the bearded one downing what are you downing paul that's what i want to know he says audience how's it going looking for an
