Bigger Tone For Aynsley Lister With Delay & Wet/Dry - Mick’s Vlog

- British blues artist Aynsley Lister pops in to see if Mick can make his sound a little bigger.
Life too short for long RUclips videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! Back in October 2020, British blues artist and our good friend Aynsley Lister dropped into Schwangri-La to get some tone help. Now if you’ve ever heard heard Ayns play live, you know he really doesn’t need any help! Yet as he explains in the video, a whole two-hour show of just guitar and amp can sometimes call for a little more variety. Thusly, Ayns is wondering if the addition of a little delay might help him achieve a wider, more varied soundstage for parts of the set.
We work through some basic delay textures before introducing him to wet/dry and a little harmonic tremolo.
As I explain in the intro, do excuse the format of this. It’s a little bit rough around the edges and fly-on-the-wall in nature, but we think it’s nonetheless interesting!

I'd like to see this as a new series like "TPS Interven-tone" (no pun intended 😛). A place where one can freely share their actual tone frustrations and obtain top notch guidance by Mick and Dan.
That pun was fully intended
Second this emotion!
This is a great idea for a future series on this channel.
InTONEvention ? Sorry
This is like watching 2021 Mick teach 2017 Mick about complicated delays. Really enjoyed this vlog
Hahahaha!!!!
Ah Aynsley! Such a killer player.
Love this style TPS- would love to see more of these “pedalboard fittings”. Very cool to tailor the sounds to the player, and Mick has such a tuned ear to the player and how their playing... If Dan were here he’d say it was “fascinating...”
and far out!
Mick “the tailor” Taylor
The Hugh Grant of guitar players. Been a fan of his for quite a while.
Spot on! 🤣
A friend took me to see him at a club in London a few years back and loved the show. Bought one of his albums when I got home and it doesn’t do him justice.
When I started watching this channel religiously years ago, I never thought I'd see the day when a guy would say "All those knobs and options and menus...its just too much" and MICK would be the one to say "It's okay, mate, I'll teach you!", how proud is Dan right now? How far you've come! Thanks for taking us all with you.
The student has become the master. He may now leave the Shaolin Temple.
I needed this today. I really really feel like I'm at breaking point, and everything in my life is going wrong, and the only thing that is centring me, is guitar. Aynsley seems like a stand up bloke.
Thanks, TPS.
Ah man, sorry to hear that. We know how you feel. Even our most stoically okay friends are fraying around the edges in this second UK lockdown.
You need to stop. Stop.
Every time you start worrying about what’s in the future or the past, stop. Stop.
Bring it back to this moment. Breathe, concentrate fully on something that is NOW. Every time you wander off to the future or the past, have a little chuckle at that mischievous part of your mind that wants to take you there.
Look at it. Look at the little bastard! All it wants to do is upset you. Tell it to do one and bring it back to this moment.
If something bad is happening at this moment, you need to - as much as you possible can - reduce that thing to a situation that you need to deal with, and tell the part of your mind that’s making it into a psychological problem to get lost. It’s a situation you have to deal with. Nothing more.
If nothing bad is happening at this immediate moment, it’s not a problem now. Park it.
That’s what I do. I hope it works for you. It mostly works for me. Good luck!
@@ThatPedalShow You're a good soul Mick
@@ThatPedalShow Thanks (presumably) Mick. Normally I manage to deal with these things through consistent therapy, however due to COVID, that's currently lost. I suppose it's a reminder of how far along I actually am in my journey of mental health.
You're absolutely right, I need to learn to park it. But I shouldn't be too harsh on myself, I'm only 25 and the journey is just beginning. A quote that my best friend repeats often: "All it takes is time, but time is all it takes."
@@Airfire21 Definitely don't be too harsh to yourself, quite the reverse; be kind to yourself! Simply being a conscious being is taxing. Not to be glib or philosophical about it of course. It just is! Some of the best music and art in general comes from that simple fact. But be kind to yourself, and keep engaging with music/guitar especially if you find it helpful.
I had an extremely rough time back in 2009 after the last financial crisis, my wife and I had both lost work and we had a baby that same year, but we worked hard to get back on track, I took a few jobs as did she that were part time, low pay, eventually I was able to go back to school and came out and got a nice job which I have been at seven years now. Shortly after the new job our marriage dissolved and I had a few more years of pain and discomfort, but fortunately I was able to keep playing music with friends throughout and thus kept my sanity somewhat on the rails. Now I am a few months away from being able to buy a house with a full basement to rehearse and record music in and I am just super grateful that I stuck it out. I can’t imagine how hard this time is for young people down on their luck and in isolation, but I can tell you that if you stick it out and keep working towards your goals you will eventually make them happen and it will have all been worthwhile.
Oh man, what you’ve done here Mick is confirm how much of a guitar geek the majority of us are. To think someone who’s spent 20 years on tour didn’t know this almost reaffirms the fact that I spend too much time with gear and not enough time playing.
Took the words from my shamed mouth.
Mick, your such an incredible interviewer. Sympathetic, intelligent and asking really insightful questions. It’s a pleasure to watch these style of videos, thank you
Ah man. Thanks!
Word!
Absolutely agreed!
For sure. He wants to figure out how to help Aynsley find the best version of _his_ sound.
So true!
One of the best TPS episodes I've seen for a long time. This 'real world' application of pedals & techniques to assist players' specific needs should be done more often. Excellent job Mick!
Thanks Graeme!
I’ve known Aynsley for quite a few years now, and I still remember the first time heard him play..........blown away by his Tone and his incredible musicality............still am.............and like Brian May, one of the most humble guys out there.........he just loves playing!
Great to see him and Mick, sorting shit out.........😊😎
@40 minutes....hands down one of the best tones to be produced on TPS.
That smile on Ainsley’s face as he’s playing with the delay on and Mick setting up the Boss delay! 😃😃😃 It said to me that what’s going on in his brain is something along the lines of “I knew I was coming to the right guy!” Well done Mick!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Man, what a player!
Literally one of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard. There’s something about his groove that speaks to my soul.
Awesome episode!! Enjoyed more than I can say! Special thanks to Aynsley for graciously putting aside his ego and being willing to let us share in his journey! That can sometimes take a lot of courage!! Absolutely loved Aynsley's playing style!! I wish him nothing but the best in his artistic endeavors!!
Nice of Aynsley to make me feel better by saying he's always thought other people sound better than him with delay. Then he started playing and it sounded stellar! He's either far too humble or has much higher standards than I do 😂
I took Mick's advice from a live stream and got myself a Carbon Copy Deluxe and I'm loving learning to play it so much, thank you Mick!
One of the best episodes of TPS. I loved how the spontaneity the conversations, and how mick with his sound knowledge helped Anysley to discover new things with passion and enthusiasm, that's what true friends do. Anysley, such an amazing guitar player and kind person. All the love and support 🇲🇦🇲🇦
I literally sat between both my amps and cried the first time I tried wet dry. Ping pong delay and heavy reverb and tremolo into only one amp and big lush pretty chords. It was more than I was ready for.
Yay! Right there with you. :0)
From the first few notes Aynsley knocked me out. He has excellent touch and the use of the volume pot is brilliant! I got a lot out this episode. Many thanks to both of you.
What a fantastic video! Amazing to see such an accomplished player talking openly, honestly and humbly about what he knows and doesn't know. My assumption would be that Aynsley has spent the hugely overwhelming majority of his time on music rather than gear ... and look where it's got him! Chops and feel in great big dollops.
I met with Aynsley a few years back. He wanted to play my 1963 Strat through his Fender Princeton. He mentioned that it was set up just how he likes it and proceeded to play. Wow, can he play !
This is exactly the kind of show I was thinking about a few weeks ago when you were musing about what the future of TPS might be. It’d be great to see more like this, and with amateur/hobby level players you might know, not just pros.
PS: Love Actually. Classic.
I discovered Aynsley through Guitarist Magazine and checked him out after a review of 1 of his albums and was blown away, such a fabulous player and Tone for days and days and days and days 👍🏼
What a sound! Aynsley was one of the first gigs my dad ever dragged me to... I still remember it so well!
Ah man I love episodes like this. seeing that look on Ayn's face when the wet dry kicked in and the way Mick took him through it all without giving him a migraine is just brilliant
Great vlog, Mick. Aynsley is such a good player and had such great tone already. Seeing his face light up at the sounds he made was a joy to watch. Wet dry is a force that can not be denied. You guys are Yodas of tone.
Been so excited for another blog from Mick! Great way to kick off a day full of tone!
Mick...he is gonna leave there and turn what he has learned in to his own sound. Would love to have him back later to learn and hear what he has done. You and Dan should do more of these...seriously interesting. And to have such great artist just lay themselves bare with their tone frustration...as we all can appreciate...is inspiring.
Aynsley is definitely one of my favorite modern blues guitarists. Certainly right up there with Philip sayce, Chris buck, and Kenny Wayne shepherd. He’s got a pretty unique sound, and is an amazing player. Cool video!
My custom wound "Grey Bottom" Strat pickup set arrived in the post yesterday. I have a new pickgaurd, knobs and wiring harness ready for this weekends project. This week on my daily walks I've been listening to Aynsley Lister in the earbuds. All of this was inspired by this video. Thanks for the inspiration Mick, Aynsley, TPS crew...
Mick this was one of the best videos to date! Loved this and would love to see more like it. Thanks
Love the humility of Aynsley and the honesty he shows here. Not afraid to say what he doesn't know. Great player!!
15 minutes in, I like this style of video. It shows how others discovers new sounds, how cool! And it brings some joy to the day :)
This video format is amazingly great. Thx.
this was great, love these views into gigging musician's rigs and mindsets. this is golden content.
It's awesome to see how far Mick has come with his comfort level with technology. He used to be the one going, "I can't handle anything with too many switches!" and now he's masterfully showing another player how to make the most of a more complex setup. Well done, Mick. Your journey is what a lot of us at home have gone through from watching you guys over the years. Sounding great!
Immensely satisfying. It's great fun seeing the lights come on for someone! Thanks, Mick!
Loved this!!!! Aynsley's face when he started playing into the wet-dry was brilliant. Awesome sounds!
Really nice seeing you share your knowledge in expounding an already great tone.
Loved that, thank you Mick and Aynsley!
Gosh that was wonderful. Thank you. Ainsley’s playing was fantastic too. Well done!
It was so inspiring listening to you guys go through those tones. I had to stop the video three or four times and play out of pure inspiration. Thank you for putting up this video. More videos like this would be really cool. However I know how hard it is right now with lockdowns and Covid and what not. Good luck keep up the great work.
One of the best vlogs ever. So much captured of the experience. Great stuff.
Thanks Tony!
What a fabulous show, I’d love to see more shows like this because it really highlights loads of things that don’t necessarily show up when TPS demonstrate them. Oh, and what a top bloke....
That was SO good. I've loved Aynsley for years, seeing the joy of something new in an accomplished players face is priceless. Great vid, thanks Mick & Aynsley
What an awesome video! Loved the relaxed format. Also harmonic trem sounds so much better in Eb! Ha :) Thanks Mick!
lovley way to spend an hour,,,entertaining and such lovely playing and now i've also discovered ainsley,,,time well spent and loved the format too ,,,cheers from australia
Mick the tone tailor. Fantastic video as always, and a truly refreshing format
I always love a Mick vlog and I really enjoyed this one!
Tones are awesome and Ainsley's a great player. Win win!!
Loved this format!! Gave me comfort that I wasn't the only one who was afraid of pedals (I played in my band for years with one amp and used my tele's volume control for a clean tone). As a person who only started on the pedal journey after I found your show, I want to say thank you to you guys for opening my eyes to the possibilities. I hadn't played for years and now I'm building my first proper pedal board. Keep up the great work.
I was lucky to have met Aynsley at the 2020 Guitar Show in Birmingham, he was checking out a vintage Strat at a booth just before you go into the main hall. I said to him “Dude I loved your last album (Eyes Wide Open) when’s the next one out?” He proceeded to spend the next 5 mins telling me about all the songwriting and recording he’d been up to and what he was up to later in the year (this was literally two weeks before the world went to crap). Great dude, took the time to talk gear and to chat and if my mate hadn’t wanted to get into the main hall I’m sure that Aynsley would of stayed there chatting all day. Top bloke, great guitarist and a great songwriter too. Check out Eyes Wide Open its a banging album.
Nice! Yep, he is a decent human for sure. That was a good day in Brum. Feels like another planet at this point. We’ll be back there soon enough!
Thanks for another fantastic video. Great to hear some new dimensions to Aynsley's playing - his connection with the Echorec was immediately clear. Very excited to hear Anysley incorporate the sounds into his live rig. Awesome.
One of the best videos this channel has ever put out! Mick I saw you and Aynsley play together at the guitar show in Birmingham in 2020, loved your version of Purple Rain. We had a chat afterwards about how TPS has opened my eyes to modulation pedals and persuaded me to lean in to that sound more. Love the show, massively thankful for all of the insight not just into playing but also the mental health journey that playing guitar can be sometimes! Looking forward to VCQ's later today!
Awesome work from the pair of you - amazing sounds! :) Very inspiring stuff and I'm excited to get back out there and hear great players like Aynsley do their thing when the gigs are back on..
a perfect demonstration of the benefit of the wet/dry rig ! and gorgeous plying !
So much fun watching AL’s truly joyful discoveries under Mick’s very skillful guidance.
Fantastic show Mick. Great to see (and hear obvs!) Aynsley, and really great to see his journey over the course of the day. As other people have said, this is a brilliant format, it lends itself not just the tech/geek pedal elements, but also it lets you get a really natural interview as he's relaxed and playing. Well done all round!!!
There it is. That smile that comes when something amazing happens and the joy of sound takes over. Great stuff Mick. Second reason I love you guys is finding new artists to search. Have downloaded entire Biffy catalog and now need to search Aynsley. Thanks!
That was BRILLIANT. Seeing all these top players over the last few years visiting Mick and Dan, and having their minds blown by the TPS wet/dry method, is a joy to watch and listen to. I’ve done it as well and, as Mick said, it’s quite hard to go back to one amp once you’ve heard it, if you have the gear to do it. Even at home volumes it sounds epic and, most importantly, it’s very inspiring and makes you want to play and write music. Well done Mick. And thank you for putting that video out during tough times in the U.K.
Excellent video, need more like this! I learned a lot by watching the trial and error testing , and it made a lot of sense. Thanks for doing this video.
An awesome real life demonstration of how to use and investigate growing your sound. to compliment your playing. A great new window to making a vlog. From hard times comes brilliance. Well done in your vision to present this. Thanks
So cool to see the tone evolve with the wet/dry set-up...Uber inspiring stuff as always!
I 've seen Aynsley a couple of times at Mühle Hunziken in Switzerland. I think he was one of the many shows that were cancelled in the last months. But I will be there, when he returns after this crazy times. Blues is more relevant than ever. And I want to here these tones in a live environment... Great vlog Mick.
Interesting and fun episode! Like how it's informative but it's naturally progressive and very applied to real life. Not just playing around with cool stuff but coming from real need. The filming and editing worked very well in keeping the episode coherent. Also always nice to see people's genuine reactions to learning the stuff that Mick & Dan already know from all the episodes, and how it opens new worlds of expression to them. The struggles and revelations.
Now THIS was fantastic! I'd love to see more of this type of tone help, "critique my rig," problem solving, real world experiment videos. Great, great stuff, TPS!
Awesome episode! Would love to see you guys catch up again. Thanks!!!
Love Aynsley's style, and Soundman has been one of favourite tracks for years! 👍👍👍
Loved that .. great playing and sounds ... Really discernable the differences, and wow.. how good that wet dry thing is.. good pace to the film helped my understanding ... Thanks Mick!
Mick, you're a legend, man! Thanks for editing that for us.
Ah bless you Tim. Doing this stuff is so much fun.
That was a really great down to earth working guitar player video. Thanks Mick
Loved that Mick, thanks for posting, and thanks too to Aynsley for letting us watch & listen to his amazing playing.
This guy is so genuine and passionate, I love him!
This was a fantastic vlog! It’s fun it’s see a great player discovering new sounds that inspire even more creative playing. And Mick your expertise and consultation is fabulous - one of my favourite episodes!
Thanks Theo!
@Mick this was great! I have been listening to Aynsley and enjoying his playing and it is very cool to watch him learning like all of us. @Aynsley thanks for allowing Mick to share!
One of the best episodes ever. Incredible guitar playing and creating up the sound that will work for him is really what all these pedals are supposed to be about, So watching it in real time was a mirror of what a lot of us go through each day. Excellent video
Really cool to see a great player discover a new voice through pedals. Rock on TPS 🤘🏼
Brilliant. Really useful. Look forward to hearing Aynsley live with wet/dry rig in the future.
I LOVE Aynsley! Amazing to see him on the show. I found him during the first lockdown on Apple music, his music made me want to pick up my guitar and play. That's the sign of a great player making great music
Always try to go to see Aynsley when he's touring here in Germany (at Ducsaal). Looking forward to this vlog, and also for when he's back here again.
That was awesome. Per usual Mick, you’ve educated & inspired yet again. Just so happens this time was for an unbelievably talented and melodic player. You sir, truly are a “tone angel”. All my love.
Thanks Aaron!
That was fantastic! Great job to Mick in setting that up and to Aynsley for making the change.
Brilliant video!! Aynsley is monster guitar player, and awesome singer too! Look forward to seeing where this takes him! Brilliant job tutoring too Mick!! 👍
Great video Mick. Really enjoyed it. Ainsley plays like an angel as well.
This was such an awesome vlog, fly on the wall watching two mates hang out and mess about with gear! Aynsley is such a great artist, seen him a few times and he always has time for people before/after a show. Also got to see that strat when it was green - Chris showed me it on the Rift stand at Birmingham last year
What a beautifully expressive player!! And nice to see him enjoying the fruits of delay, trem and wet dry!! Mega amps for it 💪
Thanks Mick! This was a great video to explore/explain wet/dry. You guys have put out several videos on this topic over the years, but this one is the simplest, most complete, and condensed all at the same time.
I needed this last weekend when I set up my first wet/dry rig. I got to this conclusion eventually, but having this video first would’ve served as a TPS Cliff Notes version.
Cheers!
Two nice guys (truly) having a nice, quality conversation about guitar tones....wonderful. Thanks so much for posting.
TPS needed this, badly. Thank you.
Mick what an absolute joy to watch, thank you.
Thank you! This was fun - it’s so nice when you don’t have to play the freakin’ guitar all the time. :0)
@@ThatPedalShow I was having similar issues with my carbon copy going into the front of the amp but I stopped being lazy and have got it going through the effects loop, it now seems a bit better. But Oh my those tones were enormous.
I love all of your videos. This one might be my favorite (again, with respect to all the work done by everyone involved with this channel). The ability to watch in real time as a tone is shaped is really helpful. I am 26 mins into this video and had to stop because of the insight gained about the way volume impacts delay. Apologies if I was supposed to know this by now, but I didn't. Thank you on so many levels for this - and all the videos you all create!!
Not at all Nathan! That’s exactly why I let it run like this. We have said all this stuff many times on the channel but that doesn’t mean it’s in the right context to hit home with everybody. We’re also acutely aware that a huge amount of what we talk about on TPS goes waaaaay over most peoples’ heads. It did mine when we first started doing it. So we’re all too happy to keep finding different ways that will help things click with people.... most important of all, in the way that it’s going to work for their particular situation. And we’re still learning too - it’s all a journey. Thanks for being here!
Thank you, Mick, so very much for introducing me to Aynsley Lister! Such a tasteful musician! I became his fan right away!
I love TPS and watch every episode...but THIS episode is absolutely incredible!! What a cool concept and Ansley is such a tasteful player!! Please do more episodes like this!! Great job guys!!
What a lovely journey to watch👍
Wow. Great to get to know Ainsley, I've been watching some performances of him and it's just so good! Great vlog also, Ainsley with his pure musician mindset not wanting to have the effects on the way of his sound, shows us what is really important without having to explain it at all. Loved it, this is what gear should be all about, about the music and the way it feels! And great guidance from the gear knowledge point of view from you Mick, with the right approach, getting the sounds to find the player and not the other way around.
Pleasure to watch and learn. Done masterfully.
Yay! Great to see Aynsley here... he supported Robben Ford about 20 years ago here in Dublin... it was burnin!
By far the best video you guys have done! Aynsley is a top player. I’m sure there’s definitely a part 2 in this. Super Dan for a board revamp.
Perhaps my favorite episode of all TPS videos. Awesome and humble guitarist and great sound scaper Mick. Thank you gents
This was a great and insight vlog, thanks Mick! You have a great skill for teaching and the moment of realization on wet/dry and the delay pedals in general reminds me of when I started my sonic journey watching TPS. Was really fun to see!
One day when all the craziness is behind us, I think the TPS experience should be a thing. I’d gladly buy a ticket to sit in the room there and soak in the knowledge/listen to some incredible tones from you both.
Btw, all pedals aside, Aynsley proves that a good strat, a good amp, and a great player is all you need.
