What a sincerely nice person Tim is. You can see it on his face. He has a soul warming quality with his positive vibes and his playing. Glad he's in our world.
I met Tim once. I was staying at my friend’s house in LA in the mid 1990s. Tim was his neighbor. Tim stops over with a Godin Nylon String Guitar with a Synth Interface, and a Roland Guitar Synth, and says to my friend, “I will not be around this weekend, so why don’t you try this out”.
What a way to start the day! Beautiful phrasing, magnificent tones, infectious enthusiasm, and lovely SoCal outdoors. I never tire of listening to Tim play. The best!
Hi Tim, pardon the question: I notice you don’t live in an apartment in North Hollywood. Have you ever had points/ % of a major hit record or do you just work work work work? God bless you Tim, you bring the world so much joy.
How ANYONE could dislike ANYTHING Mr. Pierce puts out on RUclips is just insane. The pure joy of his playing and his love for everything guitar should be REQUIRED watching for every guitar player. Please keep it up, Sir Tim!
Mr. Pierce, Do you have any educational course about guitar tone/ guitar effect pedals? I love to know your guitar tone approaches and how you use guitar effect on live/recording stand point. Respectfully, R.
I love the “former ‘80s arena guitar rock god strolling through the neighborhood, and nobody has any idea” thing you have going. Tim, I’ve been a fan since Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet. I saw you in Nashville on the Living In Oz tour. Runaway is one of my favorite rock solos of all time. I picked out the solo for Change a while before you showed us. I was kinda close, and posted a video. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, skill, and insight with us. As for OD pedals it seem I’ve almost always been in situations where I’m not able to turn my amps up enough to truly get the grind from them. Therefore I’m most accustomed to pedals. I have a v1.4 OCD, a couple Lovepedals, a cool Ibanez Jet Driver, and others. My Nobels ODR-1 has been my go to for a while now, and a 20 year old modded BOSS Blues Driver added to that takes care of solos. As for Tom Bukovac I knew of him maybe 15 years ago. (I live just outside of Nashville.) He was just so elusive with social media. He did the video a decade ago titled Garage Guitar. I watched that soooo many times. Since this past year of Home Skoolin he is my new fave, and not just because of his playing, I’ve also been able to hip more friends and family to him. Thanks again for all you do.
Great video Tim and hi from the U.K. Love your content, love the outdoor shots. Love Cali and had the good fortune to visit many times. Last time we drove up Topanga and went for a hike. Looks like thee view from the top to Woodland Hills. Stayed there so I could go and have a look round Norms. Ended up also going to a Sam Ash and Guitar Centre 😊😂
When is Tim going to put out an album?! He could get the greatest musicians to play on his record. Steve Hunt "Connections" he got a ton of cats to play on his record.
greetings from cold germany....i love your garden and the sunshine...you lucky devil.....and as ever your professional guitar play is out on its own....of course... ;-)
Hi Tim, really enjoy your videos. The Wampler Belle is a take on the ODR-1. If you haven't had the chance, check it out. When I first heard it, it reminded me of your tone. Cheers from Guam 🤙🏼
Nice but not cheap...in euros Vemuram 449, Danelectro 199 and Karma 174. They do sound fantastic though, I'd go for the Danelectro if I had the money...
Besides all the great playing, positive vibes, we get insightful and useful tips about gear and getting the most out of it. What a way to start the day! Thanks
Hey Tim, I'm happy with my amps distortion but would like the best transparent pedal to push it over the edge for 80's metal...Can You help on this one?
You really enjoy what you do! I'll never forget walking into the music store in 1979 or 80 and seeing my Jetglo Rickenbacker 4001 on a stand. I saved up to put down the $1000 and bring it home. I still have it. I wish I was better at 6 string, but I've been getting some affordable pedals and guitars and I'm practicing....
I wonder if I'm the only one who did a double take when you said "Slash chords"? 😄 For a moment I was thinking "I don't recall hearing Slash play a chord quite like that"...
As cool as the Roebuck is, $170 is waayyy too much for the brand. Not a good move by Danelectro, they're not boutique pedals. I can see it at half that price
Great vid Tim. That ODS-1 sounds awesome. Totally love the jam track. Is this available in the master class because i'm considering signing up? Watching you jam out to it with that infectious grin is inspiring (I'm a big fan of Steely Dan).
Tim, I think your command center surrounded by great gear is an effective approach. But I worry about the electrical usage having everything on, your electrical bill must be scary, especially in Ca.
Thanks for another great demo, Tim. I enjoy your youtube stuff almost as much as your master class. For ODR-1 pedals, I am sure you have heard of the Nordland ODR-C, engineered and made by Kai Tachibana who designed the ODR-1. I thinks it is great and, while not cheap, is at a lower price point than some, and puts $$ into the inventor's pocket.
Just picked up a Roebuck and am kicking myself for waiting so long. I had a mental block on paying $200 for a Danelectro pedal but it is totally worth it. Beautiful clear but thick sounding gain tones. Chords are thick and chunky and lead sounds sing like I haven’t ever had before.
Great vid! I'm curious where the delay sits in the signal chain when your useing the drive pedals since you have a slightly driving clean tone. Post all gain stages?
Tim, as always a great video. You are an inspiration and as others have noted, your joy of everything "Music" is always a great way to start the day !!!! Keep 'em comin !!!!
I would love to know if Tim knows anything about T-Rex pedals. I have a Mudhoney and it's GLORIOUS through my AC30. I'd love to know his opinion on them if he knows anything about them.
Hey Tim, thanks man, your tone is great. I love the squish and dynamics you get. I’m considering getting the karma. The ODR-1 and Mostortion seem to cover somewhat similar ground. I’m curious, what makes them different to you and how do you use them differently? Thanks! Have a good day
So cool to see a pedal by Greg Droman. I used to go see Greg and his wife play around Akron and would occasionally run into them when our bands were playing a lot of the same clubs on the old Eastern USA show band circuit in the 70's. (Ask Greg about Red's in Akron)
Hi Tim, did you ever think about using such a tool as the Iridium from Strymon as a all-in-one amp-modeler, including amp- & cabinet-modeling as well as overdrive. The Iridium is suppposed to feature all this and can be MIDI-controlled - meaning you can store presets e.g. for an clean amp (e.g. Fender) and slight / heavy overdriven VOX / Marshall amp (maybe not too heavy, but normal rock sound should be possible). When going directly into a DAW, this could be beneficial if the sound is pleasant... Yours Jürgen
Nothing against those pedals but clearly Tim could make even the worst junk $0.02 pedals sound like a million bucks. Tone being in the fingers is no joke and Tim has got it.
Tim Pierce is one of the most joyful players i've ever seen.
I just told my son the same thing!!! Peace
@@billyshears6622 Billy Shears!!! how did you get that name???
What a sincerely nice person Tim is. You can see it on his face. He has a soul warming quality with his positive vibes and his playing. Glad he's in our world.
Amen!
I could not ever had said it better!
I met Tim once. I was staying at my friend’s house in LA in the mid 1990s. Tim was his neighbor. Tim stops over with a Godin Nylon String Guitar with a Synth Interface, and a Roland Guitar Synth, and says to my friend, “I will not be around this weekend, so why don’t you try this out”.
As soon as I start watching one of Tim's videos hitting the like is a given
What a way to start the day! Beautiful phrasing, magnificent tones, infectious enthusiasm, and lovely SoCal outdoors. I never tire of listening to Tim play. The best!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much
.35 to .39. Seconds was awesome. It was. Little different than he normally sounds
Wow! Sounds great.
Love my Shanks ODS-1! Cheers Tim!!
Danelectro track has a serious Atlanta Rhythm Section 'I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" vibe. Kudos!
Those camera shakes at 6:11 had me dying. 😂 Great editing.
Always something new to learn. Thank you for your showcases and information, as well as great guitar playing!
Hi Tim, pardon the question: I notice you don’t live in an apartment in North Hollywood. Have you ever had points/ % of a major hit record or do you just work work work work?
God bless you Tim, you bring the world so much joy.
You make even better guitar playing faces than Roy Clark did on Hee Haw!
Great video, Tim!
I've learned so much from Tim in all of
these videos. Thank you!
How ANYONE could dislike ANYTHING Mr. Pierce puts out on RUclips is just insane. The pure joy of his playing and his love for everything guitar should be REQUIRED watching for every guitar player. Please keep it up, Sir Tim!
Knocked it out of the park, yet again!
Are these original songs / ideas you’re playing? I heard a hit in there!
Somedays...I just need a little dose of Tim playing to make the flowers smell even better.... :^)
I’m just happy to see Tim outside!
So dope my friend!! I’m here trying to enter for some pedals.. and learn some more from Tim.. I’m watching his “little wing “ lesson over and over
There are probably a lot guys watching this and thinking, “Slash chords? Man I love Slash. I didn’t know he had his own chords.”
Mr. Pierce,
Do you have any educational course about guitar tone/ guitar effect pedals? I love to know your guitar tone approaches and how you use guitar effect on live/recording stand point.

Keep smiling and playing Tim
Please do a video of the Karma Odr pretty please
Love the outdoors vibe going while talking gear!
Glad you enjoyed!
I have the shanks and does sound very very good ! Amazing pedal
I really like that Vemuram Shanks ODS-1 PEDAL! WOW!🎸
Great video Tim and hi from the U.K. Love your content, love the outdoor shots. Love Cali and had the good fortune to visit many times. Last time we drove up Topanga and went for a hike. Looks like thee view from the top to Woodland Hills. Stayed there so I could go and have a look round Norms. Ended up also going to a Sam Ash and Guitar Centre 😊😂
Crazy good playing as always!
Great video Tim
I get big Steely Dan vibes from that first pedal demo.
Thanks so much , they are a big influence on me
That's exactly what I thought too!
The second pedal had an ARS (Atlanta Rhythm Section) feel to it.
When is Tim going to put out an album?! He could get the greatest musicians to play on his record. Steve Hunt "Connections" he got a ton of cats to play on his record.
What a great chord progression, i love slash chords too! Typical Californian in my opinion! They make me smile!
greetings from cold germany....i love your garden and the sunshine...you lucky devil.....and as ever your professional guitar play is out on its own....of course... ;-)
Thank you so much
Why are the comments not flooded in awe of how Tim always balances that pic on his index finger when talking with his hands lol😱🤯
You NEVER FAIL to produce informative, and inspiring clips. Loved the pedal comparison and, as always, your melodic phrases are brilliant!
Hi Tim, really enjoy your videos. The Wampler Belle is a take on the ODR-1. If you haven't had the chance, check it out. When I first heard it, it reminded me of your tone. Cheers from Guam 🤙🏼
Nice but not cheap...in euros Vemuram 449, Danelectro 199 and Karma 174. They do sound fantastic though, I'd go for the Danelectro if I had the money...
Love the gear reviews, but I just love hearing what he plays. His licks sound so good/cool.
FANTASTIC playing!!! Aside the wonderful pedals, the magic is in his fingers! BTW, and what about the BT? Could you share it with us? :)
Great stuff, thanks
Besides all the great playing, positive vibes, we get insightful and useful tips about gear and getting the most out of it. What a way to start the day! Thanks
Hey Tim, I'm happy with my amps distortion but would like the best transparent pedal to push it over the edge for 80's metal...Can You help on this one?
Inspiring. Oh the pedals are cool, but Tim's playing is so tasteful, so rich.
You make that thing sing, Tim.
Super Tasty stuff Tim!
where is it filmed, beautiful neighborhood ?
Loved the tone of that Vemuram Shanks pedal but was surprised to see it's an average of $400. Something to save up for. But Tim made it sound so good.
Too much money anymore for a pedal.
You really enjoy what you do! I'll never forget walking into the music store in 1979 or 80 and seeing my Jetglo Rickenbacker 4001 on a stand. I saved up to put down the $1000 and bring it home. I still have it. I wish I was better at 6 string, but I've been getting some affordable pedals and guitars and I'm practicing....
"Right now it's 70 degrees with clear skies. Tonight the low will be 62 with a slight chance for showers." 8:40
Excellent my friend, as always. Love the Shanks as well!
Thanks Axeman 🎸 Beautiful California neighborhood.
Thanks, I like shooting outdoors :)
Tim, you play all the right notes at the right times. We couldn’t ask for anything more than that.
I wonder if I'm the only one who did a double take when you said "Slash chords"? 😄
For a moment I was thinking "I don't recall hearing Slash play a chord quite like that"...
As cool as the Roebuck is, $170 is waayyy too much for the brand. Not a good move by Danelectro, they're not boutique pedals. I can see it at half that price
Danelectro is money. Pure gold.
Great vid Tim. That ODS-1 sounds awesome. Totally love the jam track. Is this available in the master class because i'm considering signing up? Watching you jam out to it with that infectious grin is inspiring (I'm a big fan of Steely Dan).
I really think, it doesn't matter, which effect pedal you use, your sound is anyways all time great ;-)
Tim, I think your command center surrounded by great gear is an effective approach. But I worry about the electrical usage having everything on, your electrical bill must be scary, especially in Ca.
Love the Vemuram Shanks ODS-1, sounds very Steeley Dan.
I’d love to see/hear how you’re using that Infinite Jets I see back there!
Did I just spot a Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water pedal underneath that Park amp?
I'm assuming the Roebuck is named after Dave Roebuck (RIP).
I'm thinking he sometimes used a 59 Deluxe, when he wasn't using a Tele, JM or acoustic.
Backing track sounds like Atlanta Rhythm Section.
Nice content! Well done!
Thank you!
ODR-1 and MOSFET vintage? I guess I'm vintage too.
Great Playback! Is that a specific song?
Wow what a masterful opening solo. So much feel! Thanks . JG
Really enjoy your vids. I'm a drummer but I find your playing very enjoyable
I have one of those pedals but it doesn't sound nearly as good as Tim's? Weird...
Sorry late to this video. Have you tried any of the MXR distortion pedals to compare?
Love your show!
It's great to see you still get excited after years of playing!
Thank you!
Looks like a Dano
"the 66? Anyone catch what model it is?
Hey Tim, did you mess with the saturation trim pot?
I want Tim to read me Bedtime Stories at Night so I can peacefully get to Sleep.
Has Tim Pierce ever played with Joe Walsh?
Thanks for another great demo, Tim. I enjoy your youtube stuff almost as much as your master class. For ODR-1 pedals, I am sure you have heard of the Nordland ODR-C, engineered and made by Kai Tachibana who designed the ODR-1. I thinks it is great and, while not cheap, is at a lower price point than some, and puts $$ into the inventor's pocket.
Great suggestion!
Just picked up a Roebuck and am kicking myself for waiting so long. I had a mental block on paying $200 for a Danelectro pedal but it is totally worth it. Beautiful clear but thick sounding gain tones. Chords are thick and chunky and lead sounds sing like I haven’t ever had before.
I love the way you play. Every pedal sound good when you play with it.
Great vid! I'm curious where the delay sits in the signal chain when your useing the drive pedals since you have a slightly driving clean tone. Post all gain stages?
Yes, exactly... It's a plug-in on my DAW called echo boy
Great video Tim! Killer tones ⚡️🔥
Anyone tried Odyssey Intergalactic drive? Thoughts on it?
Quality comes at a cost! That Verumam pedal is $630, Danelectro $270 and Karma is $200 here in Australia.
To be fair you guys have to pay a down payment for a cup of coffee
Not Beatles... Ball & Chain by XTC!
Smooth as silk
Tim, as always a great video. You are an inspiration and as others have noted, your joy of everything "Music" is always a great way to start the day !!!! Keep 'em comin !!!!
Wow, thank you!
I would love to know if Tim knows anything about T-Rex pedals. I have a Mudhoney and it's GLORIOUS through my AC30. I'd love to know his opinion on them if he knows anything about them.
Great demo but strat it's better for over drives
Hey Tim, thanks man, your tone is great. I love the squish and dynamics you get. I’m considering getting the karma. The ODR-1 and Mostortion seem to cover somewhat similar ground. I’m curious, what makes them different to you and how do you use them differently? Thanks! Have a good day
wonder what the guitar count is?
"These How I Win Set Them" :D
Yea. That broke my brain
So cool to see a pedal by Greg Droman. I used to go see Greg and his wife play around Akron and would occasionally run into them when our bands were playing a lot of the same clubs on the old Eastern USA show band circuit in the 70's.
(Ask Greg about Red's in Akron)
Is he Don Henley’s brother?
Drummer here that loves TP! Always check these out for the intros. So cool! Plus I get a little insight about his magic as a musician. Rock on 🤘! Ow!
You are the master.
Thanks!!
Tone and feel master
Nobody else is getting Atlanta Rhythm Section vibes from his background music?
Great video Tim , I'm the proud owner of the ods1 Vemuram. I love it !!!

Great video. Phenomenal playing as per usual. Quick questing. Any reason you stopped playing the 408 Signiture limited?
Nothing against those pedals but clearly Tim could make even the worst junk $0.02 pedals sound like a million bucks. Tone being in the fingers is no joke and Tim has got it.
