Received my red pickups today - upon unboxing it was immediately clear how much joy and pride went into this project. The handwritten, personalized note was especially appreciated. Best of health and tones over the holidays, gentlemen!
Man, i have been on the TPS wagon for a decade now, I hve never, not even once ever thought, Oh Mick and Dan are being paid to do this or say that!!! I mean, if you were paid, great....but you guys put the honesty and integrity above money. So nothing to doubt really!!
Same. The only thing i could think is "they like some brands a bit more because they like the people who work there" like Thorpy, Kingsley, Keeley, UA or TC (Tore), Boss (Matt) or Josh at JHS. Other than that (and that's what we all do with our friends products and work... we root for them), it seems pointless to me to think in those terms.
TPS ‘A Christmas Carol’ with Mick as Scrooge never gets past act 1 as Mick ends up arguing the validity of psychological time with the ghost of Christmas past. Redwing sounds fantastic. Well done everyone involved.
I like the format with Dan doing the technical stuff and Mick jumping in to clarify the bits us mere mortals don't fully understand. Keep up the good work guys!
The vibe I’m getting from this Redwing is that it’s as much a home science kit as it is a guitar pedal. An opportunity for Dan to put on a lab coat and do series of Mr. Wizard episodes about the underlying “chemistry” of sound modulation. 🧙♂️
Really like the bass cut on my G&L tribute doheny (jazzmaster). I ended up with the Quilter superblock UK. Gives some marshallish and voxish tones. Haven't used the headphone output, but the 1 watt setting is plenty in a small room for practice.
I'll gladly be a designated driver and transport you gents home after the Holiday Show! Of course you'll have to fly me across the pond and put me up for a few days!
Forgive me I could not stay for the live chat I only had a brief moment away from work. Thanks for mentioning those other options. I'm one of those players who use the controls a lot but didn't need a tone control for each pickup. I prefer single coils and my local luthier suggested the bass cut. It might be that the particular Schaller pickups had a lot bass. The addition of the control made the guitar much more usable. Non destructive mods are always good to know.
I can get along with most necks and radii. Currently enjoying the newest and thinnest to the herd: 70th Anniversary Ultra slim D. Thickest neck I’ve ever played is a vintage Kay Thin Twin.
General Product Safety Regulations. Businesses outside the bloc must have some presence in the EU.

For home use I tried software, all the plugins I could find. I did a deep dive into IR's etc. The best I got still sounded like a flatulent wasp in a tin and felt like listening to someone else taking the piss out of what I wanted the guitar to do. Blues Junior is what I currently us and I want to add an AC15 to that. If you need to be quiet I'd prefer a transistor amp to a modeller.
@@ThatPedalShow if you do that show about the Dumble kind of sound, and if you want to be fair with that kind of product, the most logical thing to do (to me) is hear it through the same speaker and cabinet, at least. I'm not a fan of the Dumble sound myself and i'm more interested to see you play the IR series of Friedman pre Amps (the IR-D sounds great on youtube, IRX and IRJ sound heavier) next the the Victory amp pedals, the Simplifier X and the Kingsley preamps. And next to those, in that Marshall realm, the UA Lion. As i commented long ago, these kind of digital solutions are phenomenal as "enablers" to make your Carlsbro 90s transistor amp with good speakers but poor sound into a great sounding thing if you use the fxloop return. 🙂
Show the folks between low wattage (lower headroom) dry vs higher wattage dry compared to wet. Sounds can be greatly different with headroom relation. Between wet and dry…also cool results with varying levels dry vs wet.
Hey gentlemen. Hope the new project goes well. Been subscribed to the channel for a while. I really appreciate what you do. I think you have touched on non pedals a bit before, but I was wondering if you might be up for doing some episodes on some of the alternatives to pedals? E.g. I hear about people using old 4 track recorders as an alternate to overdrive. You can run through some synths for chorus or vibrato or envelope filters. There's also FX boxes like Roland sp404 etc. It would be great to get your take on this general subject.
hey pedal builders. just make a zoom call and make trs only stereo pedals. i have a y adapter. this trs in dual mono out madness is nuts. you hear me strymon?
Why is it bizzare that their would be a pedal with a trs output?.. There are lots of pedals out there that have that feature for years!..Red Panda pedals,Chase Bliss etc..
It’s ok and quite fantastic to be paid. Understand the need for sincerity, but it’s established and you have the proverbial ‘street cred.’ Make your living friends.
If recorded sound is weak/anemic less gain etc then I’m curious if you’re using only a close mic. Ihave to add a room mic always and blend them cuz my ears are between both mics. Puts the listener “in the room” :) 🤘🏻
The complication is a turn off. You trying to explain it is even worse. I’d suggest an educational manual that is written for hobbyists vs studio producers. I had it in the shopping cart, but decided against after this video.
Mick here. This is awesome! Back in the day, we’d buy it, maybe read the manual, twist the knobs and that would do it. If you feel confused, you have to teach yourself. It’s the only way. In any case, cheers!
Wet Dry down the middle with a Swirly bottom -- what is happening there? - W O W W O W = I wish I had been in the room -- still awesome on my studio monitors 💖 I had mentally bought one from ther first bars, but Brain's playing at the end cemented the deal -

@martiboucat True
That pedal sounds great. And like an obvious tip that we’ll be seeing Robert Smith on the show sooner than later ❤😂

Congrats, the pedal sounds great and I love Brian‘s guitar playing. Thank you TPS!

Loving Mick’s panning signals for Redwing. As there’s a big tie in to aircraft it’s a shame he didn’t have those orange paddles though :).
Magic darts, team. Particularly the outro improv from B Love. Utterly majestic. 👏🏻
I often state "I'm sure glad someone makes beautiful songs with Chase Bliss pedals, because it sure as hell isn't gonna be me."
Wow sounds amazing guys, great job!
Bollocks the pedal, alright, maybe not that, but Brian’s playing is amazing!
Hamstead? What am I missing? Thank you for everything you two do!
Thank you for a great response about unpotted pickups!

48:40 jam bands perfectly explained
Nice Orville impression Mick; brings back slightly disturbing memories of a vividly green coloured duck in a nappy. Love the show btw.
Yeah man, those of us of a certain generation remember when things were better. Duck/nappy included.
Tremendous.
I have an ES-135 with P100s. I had planned to swap them for P90s, but over time I decided I really liked those p100s for their clarity and character.

re music for yourself, in the wise words of Wayne "If you build it they will come"
Play and write for you and your audience will find you

Thank god I’m wearing my fave green undies today…it’s gonna be a great tone day🤣🤘🎸
If you use the UA Enigmatic, get rid of the cab emulation and use the fxloop return of the Two-Rock, the Fryette Powerstage or the 50/50 Mesa 🙂
Struggling to see the point of that when we have //really// good tube preamps. But, we can give it a go!

hey pedal builders. just make a zoom call and make trs only stereo pedals. i have a y adapter. this trs in dual mono out madness is nuts. you hear me strymon?
Just missed it. Cheers 🍻
Why is it bizzare that their would be a pedal with a trs output?.. There are lots of pedals out there that have that feature for years!..Red Panda pedals,Chase Bliss etc..
Oh wow some of those swirly sounds I could lose my self in those for days
Redwing is a boot maker.
We know, and I have multiple pairs. Mick here. It’s a bird too. To be pedantic however, Red Wing is the boot maker, not Redwing. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow I know. Just having a little fun. Love the show
@@ThatPedalShowSo you have excellent taste in boots as well, congrats 👍🏻
Which’s ones do you have ?
I’ve got 8111s, 1907s and 875s

Who's doing Bubba Ho Tep Elvis?
Can you see if Sting will make an appearance on the 20th Mick 😂
I’ll give him a ring. Still landline only mind. Howaaaaaay!
Dammit the mystery boxes are already sold out as soon as I heard it here I checked and nope. Gah.
It is a genius bit of marketing something akin to the Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka.
yeah it was done in like 1 day 🤣 i got the “were not doing any more” email at the same time i got the announcement email 🤷♂️
@@mattelder9147 Sure is. Wish I'd heard about it before they disappeared.
@@cap519 I guess that proves to them that the idea is popular!

We always use stereo room mics mixed with the close mics. Cheers!
@ oh i know you legends do, i was trying ineptly to respond to a different comment :/
...but please don't use a stapler to give the spaniel reindeer antlers for your christmas show...
That red wing sounds like VH Hear about it later
hi mates!
sorry for the custom-shits. greetings
The complication is a turn off. You trying to explain it is even worse. I’d suggest an educational manual that is written for hobbyists vs studio producers. I had it in the shopping cart, but decided against after this video.
So sorry to hear that, thanks for checking it out
