DO MANY MORE OF THESE. I love the themed episodes, but this was awesome on another level. Chuck in all the stuff you cant find a place for and see what it does.
While I enjoy basically every episode of TPS, I very much enjoy seeing these kind of open-ended discussions using a random grab bag of pedals to analyze and spark discussion. So, while of course the themed shows make sense, I would encourage you not to shy away from this kind of open-ended discussion format. You guys know a lot, have great chemistry, and it's nice to just hear you chat about guitars, effects, amps, tone and whatever else comes up. Thanks for continuing to make one of my favorite show on...well...anywhere.
I dig this format. I'm all for these "Voyage of Discovery" episodes (episodes... episodes... episodes...) becoming a regular thing. There are sooooo many effects builders, sometimes a crazy grab bag is what you need to branch out. Mick n' Dan's Crazy Grab Bag. There you have it.
Watching the two of you trying to remember how you don't know how to play TV themes was comedy gold. Also, hearing the Grange Hill theme after all these years brought on the anxiety it always used to lol
Love the format for this show. It's cool to see some of your initial reactions, which I realize still happens in earlier shows but perhaps not to this degree. Kudos.
Bruce Johnson trouble is, if you avoid using a pedal in order to get first reactions, you won't have the time on video to experiment and getbthe best sounds out of it. I'd rather hear the great tones
I would love to see a Supro themed show. There have been a lot of companies who have made Supro-esque pedals (JHS Thunderbolt, Mojo Hand FX Superlative) as well as the new Supro re-issue pedals and amps. The new re-issue amps look really cool. Check out the new Statesman if you haven't already!
I love how these pedals have the ability to inspire and allow for creativity. That Feedback pedal sounds killer, not only for its feedback tones, but when you slide around it reminds me of a theremin or e-bow. It's something I could hear on a Steven Wilson track... imagine combining it with some delays and modulation. Nice choice of pedals - hope to see more shows like this. You constantly inspire. Cheers guys.
Gents, thank you again for taking time to have a chinwag at the Matt Shofield Gig last week. Some jaw dropping playing and tones! Mrs enjoyed too. She wandered by when I was watching tonight and had following comments: 1: Mick, have you washed your shirt? 2: That rug should be plainer... I have never even noticed you had a rug.. Great show and much chuckles at the "Les Dawson plays 80's TV themes" section around 30 minutes...! Phil :)
Hi Dan, Hi Mick, you reviewed very interesting new pedals. Fine toys for the notorious gearhead in me :-) . I saw the Seymour Duncan Killing-Floor Pedal at the first time played by Nick Johnston over a EVH Amp with the clean channel with an outstanding result. (He deleted the video after changing his endorsement). The second one is the Freq Out- a killer pedal in my opinion. I think, the secret behind this thing is, not to overuse the effect. Greetings, Dirk
Love the show! I would love to see a show on the differences between op amps in the same pedal. Tube screamers, Blues Breakers and Prince of tones come to mind. Keep up the good work!
Watching the two of you trying to remember how you don't know how to play TV themes was comedy gold. Also, hearing the Grange Hill theme after all these years brought on the anxiety it always used to.
In Chinatown, (San Francisco) there's this restaurant called House of Nanking where you don't even order off a menu. They just charge you fifteen bucks a head and keep bringing amazing (albeit difficult to identify) dishes one after the other. Dan's experience in Beijing reminded me of that place. What an experience it is!
At risk of posting something that comes across as a plug, I'm so happy you featured the V40. I just purchased a v40 combo (yeah, I'm lazy, I only want to carry one thing to the bar) and I LOVE it! You guys turned me on to it and Riff City - those guys are spectacular - and I thank you every time I plug it in! I still have my HRDR III, but man, the V40 is KILLER!!!
Love it! Thanks for putting this one together. Loving seeing the "just out of the box" approach showing how you guys dial things in. V40 Deluxe sounding good, too. Just seeing the awards it's starting to get. Thanks for the Pick'n'Mix!
I really enjoyed this format, particularly for the part at the end where "let's just throw them all on and experiment" comes into play. This is the part of pedalboard fun that we don't get to see on the other shows.
Hey, guys. Could you please do a show on pickups (at least, on single coils and humbuckers) and the effect Volume/Tone pots (250K, 300K, 500K) have on the guitar?? Reason for this is that I have a HSS Stratocaster with 250K Volume/Tone pots and I feel like the humbucker is lacking. I want to get the best of both the single coils and the humbucker but I'm not sure if changing pots is the way to go. Any suggestions and personal opinions are very much welcomed.
So much of the information you share is useful in the extreme, i'm also so happy that you're not afraid to show tiny snippets of non-american life. Thats useful, even if you're not malay-austro-english. lol.
Great concept, I enjoyed the in depth look at 6 different pedals even if they are not united by a single theme - octo puss and Ethereal were real standouts for me. I'd love to see a show where you jam out on your first pedal board and compare it to your current rigs. I have a special spot in my heart for my teenage rig - Dunlop cry baby -> danelctro fab tone -> boss bf2. Totally unsophisticated yet magical at the same time when thinking about getting buried in my piles of gear. Thanks guys!
One thing I do find frustrating about delay/reverb combo pedals is when they don't have separate foot switches for on/off. That was the issue I had with the EQD Avalanche Run. Reverb is something I have on just about all the time in some capacity, but it would be nice to switch the delay off from time to time. That being said, the Etheral sounds great. Great show once again!
Great episode again ,thoroughly enjoyable. On another note, how about a D&M Drive design iPhone/ iPad case to add to your shop list of goodies? It'd be another way for us to show our appreciation for all you do. Thanks guys you make Friday even more fun.
I have the killing floor and it sounds AMAZING with a 2x10 fender amp verge of breakup and when you kick the thing on it just adds tons of rich low end and the perfect amount of high end. It sounds like a cleaned up fuzz face. But with a bassy amp it's really meant for humbucker guitars it tends to get real fuzzy. It stacks really nice with a lot of pedals. But anyways loved the show guys keep it up!!!
When you guys get Pete Thorn, Tim Pierce, Shawn Tubbs, and Andy from PGS on your show- the internet will explode. I hope that happens one day. Terrific sounds, explanations, and playing.
Loved the Beijing story. Lol. You guys should just do a getting to know each other show and just tell odd stories from your life. Hell, you could just make things up and it would still be amazing.
His tele is an alder body with a rosewood neck, so its in between a normal (ash & maple neck) tele and a normal strat (alder rosewood neck). ;) and a beefy bridge with big strings makes it massive.
You guys have enough ideas/material to fill all the episodes until December of this year ;) Again, very insightful episode. You should also try to get Shawn Tubbs on your show, killer guitar player!
Haha I got an Octavia style pedal today, the Hartman 8va. Played it for at least an hour and it's so much fun. You can combine it with vibe, tremolo and other stuff. And now you start the video with an Octave effect like that.
Why don't you ever give Earthquaker Devices any love? Just curious. The reverb/delay combo got me pondering. Anyhow, thanks for another stellar show. Dig it!
That Victory sounded very good when Mick compared it to the Fender & Milkman [on the Anderton's channel]. But, that Hamstead is simply amazing in comparison.
New Collings, Mick! Will you guys please include the Keeley Neutrino in your envelope filter demo? I am superhero in love with mine - so vocal and expressive! I am also curious about the current EHX Q-Tron. I used to have one that ran on 24vdc, came in a wooden box, and was SO LOUD Oedipus could've used it to spike out his ears. Great show!
I like this idea. Please continue it. Also, please provide an update on Dan's Roland GR-55 experiment. I bought one right after you guys did that synth video, and it's proving to be fun, but quite a handful!
An Envelope filter show, yes please! Please compare the MUTRON to recent pedals such as Keeleys Neutrino, Digitechs DOD 440, 3 Leaf Audio's Proton, Maxons AF-9, the Q Cat and a regular wah! trying and I've been failing to achieve those classic Jerry Garcia tones with a wah for a couple of years now and only recently learned he was using the Mutron.. Oops, but I did discover some great sounds in the meantime ;)
The Ethereal, depending on price point, is going to give the Dispatch Master a run for its money (that's EQD's reverb + delay, which I LOVE for the modulation on the reverb). Just a couple more knobs!
Lol, with the dry off on the freq out its like a cheesy alien invasion movie, couple are in a misty wood, looking out over what used to be their home town........
Yea, feedback show! Trey Anastasio talks about this on the Under The Scales podcast. He uses certain notes on the fretboard and positions himself strategically at certain distances and angles for specific points in songs that depend on feedback.
Episode idea "Are BOSS pedals totally rubbish or do we love them really?" You could talk about their place and history in the industry, people who have used them and compare vintage with new.
Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.. I play an Octopuss XL. What an inspirational pedal. Such a clear octave up, chords and all. It unlocks something weirdly magical in my playing.
I'd love for you guys to weigh in on this: I've always been curious at the tonal differences between the legitimate company designed pedals and what someone could produce at home through websites such as tagboardeffects and whether the price point difference is worth the effort of building it at home.
Great as usual guys! I can't find the Hamstead video in Dan's Guitars & Gear. I've heard references to it several times, also this episode - has it disappeared?
I love how like 30% of these shows are just Dan and Mick making loud vocal exclamations and saying "That sounds AWESOME"
+Brian Connor Oh no, we've been rumbled!
I was thinking this EXACT THING
It’s great. Cheers!
DO MANY MORE OF THESE.
I love the themed episodes, but this was awesome on another level. Chuck in all the stuff you cant find a place for and see what it does.

...How aren't you two more well known in the guitar community?
It's astonishing, you're awesome.
+ReZanimate Thank you. Depends which community you mean. ;0)

Damn, the pedals and the tones are phenomenal but let's not forget how brilliant Dan & Micks playing is!
+John Bradford ah, cheers John :)
send this man a free tee shirt!!
And me!
Yeah. Me too. Both Dan & Mick. ( influences, favorite solo's, players, bands, songs ) Love these guys.
Yes please do a show on passive pedals
Love the format for this show. It's cool to see some of your initial reactions, which I realize still happens in earlier shows but perhaps not to this degree. Kudos.
+Bruce Johnson Cheers Bruce. We're going to try to make a habit of it. Thanks for watching!

Greetings,
Dirk
Yaaaassss a show on feedback. I suggested that ages ago. Please, please do it!
...and now I need a Freqout. Great episode guys!
A whole show on feedback, YES!
Love the show!
I would love to see a show on the differences between op amps in the same pedal. Tube screamers, Blues Breakers and Prince of tones come to mind. Keep up the good work!
Watching the two of you trying to remember how you don't know how to play TV themes was comedy gold. Also, hearing the Grange Hill theme after all these years brought on the anxiety it always used to.
I'm still at work, pretending that I'm doing something, hiding, because I NEED TO WATCH THIS! Brilliant as always. Greetings from Poland Mates!!!
PROCRASTINATOR PEDAL is such a cool name for delay pedal Dude! :D
The Ethereal sounds glorious. It takes some messing with, but the FreQout has changed my life, since I've gone to a modeler.
"As long as there are no cats involved, I'm fine" - Mick, you always get me with your "throw away" comments! Ha!
I love Fridays. Mostly because of these videos! Thanks for the consistency guys!
The Freqout is such a rad pedal. I love the Theremin sounds you get when you turn the dry off. I want one!
'A whole show on feed back'... Yes please! :D
In Chinatown, (San Francisco) there's this restaurant called House of Nanking where you don't even order off a menu. They just charge you fifteen bucks a head and keep bringing amazing (albeit difficult to identify) dishes one after the other. Dan's experience in Beijing reminded me of that place. What an experience it is!
Would love to see you guys do an episode on load boxes and IRs vs mic'd cabs!
At risk of posting something that comes across as a plug, I'm so happy you featured the V40. I just purchased a v40 combo (yeah, I'm lazy, I only want to carry one thing to the bar) and I LOVE it! You guys turned me on to it and Riff City - those guys are spectacular - and I thank you every time I plug it in! I still have my HRDR III, but man, the V40 is KILLER!!!
It's Friday and i just saw this 55 minute long TPS clip, couldn't get better!
Love it! Thanks for putting this one together. Loving seeing the "just out of the box" approach showing how you guys dial things in. V40 Deluxe sounding good, too. Just seeing the awards it's starting to get. Thanks for the Pick'n'Mix!
I'd love to hear the freq out effecting the repeats of a good analogue delay
I really enjoyed this format, particularly for the part at the end where "let's just throw them all on and experiment" comes into play. This is the part of pedalboard fun that we don't get to see on the other shows.
Hey, guys. Could you please do a show on pickups (at least, on single coils and humbuckers) and the effect Volume/Tone pots (250K, 300K, 500K) have on the guitar??

I want to get the best of both the single coils and the humbucker but I'm not sure if changing pots is the way to go. Any suggestions and personal opinions are very much welcomed.
I've watched many That Pedal Show/s, and this is my favourite!
+Brad Davidson Yay!
So much of the information you share is useful in the extreme, i'm also so happy that you're not afraid to show tiny snippets of non-american life. Thats useful, even if you're not malay-austro-english. lol.
Seeing that Freqout cheered me up! Fan dabby dozy!
LOVE this format guys! Amazing playing as always. How have I not heard of NRG before? Great looking and great sounding pedal
come on guys vintage pedals pedalboard vs new pedals pedalboar (just want to see dan pulling of the oldest and rarest of the collection)
carlos mendes great idea!
Love how you guys get these up before I am off to work Friday morning!
Envelope filter = Edie Brickell - What I Am solo. Oddly enough, the album cover also has a cat on the cover. The cat theme continues.
Great concept, I enjoyed the in depth look at 6 different pedals even if they are not united by a single theme - octo puss and Ethereal were real standouts for me.
I'd love to see a show where you jam out on your first pedal board and compare it to your current rigs.

I'm very happy that Grange Hill got played. Thanks, Mick.
Great episode again ,thoroughly enjoyable. On another note, how about a D&M Drive design iPhone/ iPad case to add to your shop list of goodies? It'd be another way for us to show our appreciation for all you do.
Thanks guys you make Friday even more fun.
I dont know if planned yet, but a show about accessery stuff like e-bows, sliders, real violin bows etc. would be great!
I have the killing floor and it sounds AMAZING with a 2x10 fender amp verge of breakup and when you kick the thing on it just adds tons of rich low end and the perfect amount of high end. It sounds like a cleaned up fuzz face. But with a bassy amp it's really meant for humbucker guitars it tends to get real fuzzy. It stacks really nice with a lot of pedals. But anyways loved the show guys keep it up!!!
+Tony Gunk cheers Tony :)
Where in the chain is the Frequout? After the drives, right? So cool.
That FreQout pedal sounds great. Wonder what it would sound like with an Ebow?! Also, a feedback video would be awesome!
When you guys get Pete Thorn, Tim Pierce, Shawn Tubbs, and Andy from PGS on your show- the internet will explode. I hope that happens one day. Terrific sounds, explanations, and playing.
Great show as usual, guys.
Wow, that Octo Puss was impressive! And doesn't even need to dislodge something off the board for power.
Victory V40 Deluxe sound fantastic and the white color...ooh man
Loved the Beijing story. Lol. You guys should just do a getting to know each other show and just tell odd stories from your life. Hell, you could just make things up and it would still be amazing.
Dan's Tele is just amazing. Man I love that thing! I been a strat guy since I was 13 but man there is something about a Tele.
His tele is an alder body with a rosewood neck, so its in between a normal (ash & maple neck) tele and a normal strat (alder rosewood neck). ;) and a beefy bridge with big strings makes it massive.
Rc Dad / Sultans of Wing if I can get that bridge pickup, I would put on my Tele asap. I agree, it is massive.
Brilliant Show - Highest Rate Guys !!!
I 100% back this segment👍 and would love to see more in the future!
Guitarists have been waiting for something like the Freqout since about the late 60s.
Gee Mac72 Boss gave them one years ago but they weren't paying attention....
You guys have enough ideas/material to fill all the episodes until December of this year ;) Again, very insightful episode. You should also try to get Shawn Tubbs on your show, killer guitar player!
octopuss also comes in active 2 footswitch form with gain and volume controls for overdrive. I NEED IT
love the pick'n'mix concept. that's good too !!! welcome to this new format
Thanks for this, I'm looking for a delay to replace my toadworks redux and am really impressed by the Wampler. Great show, I watch it every Friday.
Haha I got an Octavia style pedal today, the Hartman 8va. Played it for at least an hour and it's so much fun. You can combine it with vibe, tremolo and other stuff.
And now you start the video with an Octave effect like that.
Please please please do a profile episode for both of you!
This was a fun episode. I'd love to see you guys do a show on double trackers like the Mimiq, Wampler 30ms, Strymon Deco, etc...
+Darrell McMillan We shall be doing exactly that before too much longer. Cheers!
I was hoping you'd reach 100k subscribers this week. Everyone tell your friends and mates about this amazing channel. Let's hit 100k next week!
Do that video on envelope filters! Along with pedal order around them and how buffers affect them
Why don't you ever give Earthquaker Devices any love? Just curious. The reverb/delay combo got me pondering. Anyhow, thanks for another stellar show. Dig it!
FEEDBACK SHOW!!!
Yes! A show on feedback?
PICK'N'MIX FOREVER!!
Love the new series idea and great episode! It's fun hearing all the new stuff that you guys get in. Man did the Purrer + Ethereal sound good!
That Victory sounded very good when Mick compared it to the Fender & Milkman [on the Anderton's channel]. But, that Hamstead is simply amazing in comparison.
New Collings, Mick! Will you guys please include the Keeley Neutrino in your envelope filter demo? I am superhero in love with mine - so vocal and expressive! I am also curious about the current EHX Q-Tron. I used to have one that ran on 24vdc, came in a wooden box, and was SO LOUD Oedipus could've used it to spike out his ears. Great show!
37:12 Interstellar feelings!!! Awesome!
I like this idea. Please continue it. Also, please provide an update on Dan's Roland GR-55 experiment. I bought one right after you guys did that synth video, and it's proving to be fun, but quite a handful!
+Patrick Fitzgerald I'm enjoying it immensely! Will do an update soon :)
Thanks Dan. I'll look forward to seeing/hearing what you've done with it.
That was a really brilliant episode! Great work guys
+Jamie Reaume cheers Jamie :)
Ready for Episode #2 already!
The freq out bit sounded kinda like the start of Baker Street,
An Envelope filter show, yes please! Please compare the MUTRON to recent pedals such as Keeleys Neutrino, Digitechs DOD 440, 3 Leaf Audio's Proton, Maxons AF-9, the Q Cat and a regular wah! trying and I've been failing to achieve those classic Jerry Garcia tones with a wah for a couple of years now and only recently learned he was using the Mutron..

The Ethereal, depending on price point, is going to give the Dispatch Master a run for its money (that's EQD's reverb + delay, which I LOVE for the modulation on the reverb). Just a couple more knobs!
Octopluss vs EQD Tentacle must happen. Its like an old school celebrity death match of gnarly octave fuzz.
I can't believe you guys didn't play the X-Files theme song with the Freq-out and Ethereal!! :)
Dan was rippin it in the intro 🤘🏼
guys gotta say this video sounds fantastic - you need to do more with that Apollo
+perspecsmusic yeah, sounds ace
+perspecsmusic Thank you! That is absolutely the intention. :0)
Lol, with the dry off on the freq out its like a cheesy alien invasion movie, couple are in a misty wood, looking out over what used to be their home town........
Coming back to this the Purrer sounds very cool. I don't reckon they get enough attention.
I love the Octopuss passive thing
Yea, feedback show! Trey Anastasio talks about this on the Under The Scales podcast. He uses certain notes on the fretboard and positions himself strategically at certain distances and angles for specific points in songs that depend on feedback.
tronus98 I was waiting for them to break into Satriani's "flying in a blue dream"....i was disappointed. Dan, teach Mick the chords!
Oooh, nice call! Love Satriani!
Trey is brilliant at generating feedback. He is heavily influenced by Hendrix.
Heck yes he is. Hendrix introduced me to univibe but Trey made me pop on one :)
Passive octave fuzz that requires a buffered output????? And it sounds that good? Wow. Unique indeed!!
Yeah for home and away theme!
Awesome passive Octave Fuzz. Scotty's Ascension Octave Fuzz is great for chord work too
Been lookin at that freq out for a while,, u mayve just pushed me over the line.
This show is so inspiring!!!!!!!
Episode idea "Are BOSS pedals totally rubbish or do we love them really?" You could talk about their place and history in the industry, people who have used them and compare vintage with new.
+BJamin4God try to include Boss where possible, their legacy is amazing
BJamin4God yeah, I think with their fairly regular inclusion of Boss pedals they've already told us they're definitely not rubbish.
Like everyone else, Boss makes a few great pedals,- and a bunch of so- so.
Clickbait title: 'Mick and Dan's Cat Video!' Congrats, you're nearly at 100K subs!
+David Woods We know this digital game. :0)
Octo Puss = coolest thing I've ever heard
Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow.. I play an Octopuss XL. What an inspirational pedal. Such a clear octave up, chords and all. It unlocks something weirdly magical in my playing.
I'd love for you guys to weigh in on this: I've always been curious at the tonal differences between the legitimate company designed pedals and what someone could produce at home through websites such as tagboardeffects and whether the price point difference is worth the effort of building it at home.
Congrats on the 8M subs guys!
I wonder what can you do with a miku???? 🤗
New pedalboard challenge idea. Pedals named after animals only.
Great as usual guys! I can't find the Hamstead video in Dan's Guitars & Gear. I've heard references to it several times, also this episode - has it disappeared?
