What an awesome video! Thank you so much for having me guys! I had such a good time and my board is absolutely awesome! It’s all midi programmed up now with 2 krakens. Sounds huge! Lots of love to you guys! Stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
Rabea, I loved this. you are such an inspiring player. I've bought everything you have put out. I'd even pay to listen to you try a guitar out at my local music shop. Keep creating, we are all grateful.
Rabea Massaad great episode - awesome board and fantastic playing. You becoming one of those guys I can identify by listening to 30 sec of your playing. Carry on mate!
Dan is such a romantic. When Bea was doing the swells he just closed his eyes and sat in it like he'd never heard of That Pedal Show. I love the way he loves sound. It's such a pure thing. God love you Mr. Steinhardt. I very much appreciate your passion.
Steven Pippin that’s actually something I love about watching Rabea play too. You can always see while he’s playing that he’s not actually thinking SO much about where his fingers are and where he’s going next, you SEE him listening and trying to sound the best.
Steven Pippin I feel the same way, I do the same thing when I listen to Bea and I’m glad that I’m not the only one. He’s just so great with swells and pads and enormous soundscapes. I think Dans reaction to Beas tone truly shows just how amazing and well crafted it is.
Not an ounce of envy or resentment in our Dan - or Mick, for that matter. Just love for the music. Admirable. As the man said: "Without music, life would be a mistake!"
This is totally not the type of music I would listen to being an old classic rocker but I watched the whole of this episode. I was amazed at some of the sounds coming out of that rig. Bea is an epic player who' s passion clearly shows and I for one hope he has an equally epic future he should be right up there. Totally nice, friendly chap I appreciate his skill. Dan and Mick this is probably one of the best episodes if not the best you have done. I am dumbfounded thank you for this I don't think in all my years I have been so moved listening to something and opening my eyes to something new this coming from a player (30 watt amp Gibson Les Paul and overdrive). Epic. Cheers.
if you want stuff like this but maybe less metallic check out what's known as post-rock. Try bands like "godspeed you! black emperor" and they're 2001 album "lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven" (long names haha). It's intensely emotional and moving music with ambient guitars and strings that build to colossal climaxes. also of course check out Rabea's band Toska
@@mrclarksix +1 Check out Karnivool... they're incredible. Although id say Asymetry is perhaps their harder of the albums to get into depending on what you're used to, I only mean in terms of being the most atmospheric and then working backwards in that sense if you get me. It is still a fantastic album by all accounts! And a fantastic bunch of guys too. Id actually say Themata is my favorite of theirs, if only because of the memories, an epic album!
This is one of the best episodes you guys have ever done. A masterclass in how to do high gain with an integrated amp/board setup, and some of the best sounds. If you haven't listened with headphones do it now! Serious props to Rabea for the ideas and the playing.
love rabea, and i love that i can hear his sound more raw through this video; when he first turned on the POG my eyes started watering a little. sounds so huge
The way Dan sits and listens to Bea play is exactly how I listen to Bea play. He is one of my very favorite players ever. I love his style and his tones, and they've influenced me a lot, and I've only just heard of him in the last several years. But that feeling of just closing my eyes and being immersed in that blanket of sound never leaves me. I love this episode. Thank all 3 of you (and everyone else involved) for doing this. I love all of you.
When I first stumbled across Rabea, I found that whilst I truly love heavy guitar tones and metal beastliness, I didn't really connect with him or his playing - what's really apparent from this video is that he has matured into an absolutely cracking player, and an all round genuine lovely human being. No ego, no pretence, just a genuine love and passion for his music. Consider me connected!
I like how Dan reacts to people like Rabea playing. He's like an old black woman at a southern Baptist Church. Eyes closed waiting to shout amen while the pastor gets excited.
Another over used statement is, ' On another level ' but with Rabea's previous history of hard graft and conscious effort to learn his craft the saying is on point with him! Simply just amazing to witness the brilliance of his sculpture with guitar sounds & dynamics! Props also go out to Dan & his ingenuity to design and build the core GigRig facility to enable this mastery! Much needed break from the madness of the world. Thanks to everyone for my warm smile whilst watching. Peace.
The ending riff of prayermonger gives chills every time I ear it, what an amazing song. Congrats Rabea, Ben and Dave. Great episode TPS, a breath of fresh air in this troubled times.
Bea is on the way to guitar superstardom, and totally deserves every reward that comes his way. What’s most impressive is that he has achieved an epic and instantly recogniseable sound without relying on his prodigious shredding skills. Love this guy. Looking forward to seeing Toska at the Brudenell in Leeds when all this is over!
Anybody else notice Mr. Massaad acting just like a kid in a candy store? Awesome stuff, seeing the child-like joy in the way you were all into this build is certainly a bright spot in these uncertain times, thanks for doing your small part in making people's day a little better!
@@fedup3449 Thanks for trying to spread cheer. I'm sorry you've lost your trust in the media, government, etc. but you are mistaken; there is no conspiracy this time.
Today someone held the door for me. I said thank you, and they responded, "pay it forward," so here goes: you guys are a wealth of information and experience and you're incredibly entertaining, thank you for all that you've passed along to the reset of us!
I love how Rabea can take these fusion metal tones that blow the minds of old school players but properly explain how the tone is crafted. incredible player and super down to earth guy. Love that number 6 pad as well!
My world stops when Toska’ music plays. In the best way possible too. Easily the best escapism I have. Rabea, you’re a credit to your peers and music in general. Thank you
I’m glad this video showcases just how colossal, and massive his sound is. I mean he’s defiantly known of course, but I don’t think people really realize sometimes just how good Bea really is. He gets in my opinion some of the best ambient as well as high gain tones of anyone I’ve ever heard, and I listen to a ton of music of all genres. Bea is really something special!
I’ve found over the years that while shredding will get some compliments and it’s flashy, it won’t get the awestruck reactions that Rabea gets, because what’s he’s doing is on a whole other level and I’m with you. I strive to play like him as much as I can, shredding isn’t half as much fun
YES! YES! YES!!!! It's probably not too much of a stretch to say it's a minority of TPS viewers whose main musical love is heavier prog/instrumental guitar stuff, though my own musical tastes do run the gamut. But Bea and Toska's stuff is squarely in my wheelhouse. It's been so satisfying to watch Bea's career blossom over these last few years. He is most assuredly the real deal, appears to be a truly decent human being and has become an incredible tonesmith. Same can be said for Dan and Mick - nice people working hard and sharing their passions = success finding like-minded audiences on the tube. Truly awesome episode - fave line might be Bea's remark about his pedal board resembling a Google server farm. lol Bea, for sure, you're tailor made to write soundtracks and scores for films - I won't be a bit surprised to see your name associated with people like Denis Villeneuve. Grand, sonically diverse music that you compose is perfect for equally epic sci-fi type films. Or even better, you might follow in Mick Gordon's footsteps and compose video game scores. Inevitable.... :) Cheers guys and stay safe....
Yeah, I'm stuck somewhere between 80s hair metal grind and crunchy year 2k full chording rock. My tones could just about all work for metal if played with the right technique, and not too far off of Rabea's core gain tone.
Rabea’s one of those players that feels it to the point of making you feel it in your bones too. If you say you can listen to him without your eyes closed, you’re either lying or you’re doing something wrong in your life.
I fully blame That Pedal Show and Rabea Massaad for inspiring me to learn guitar. This episode is like a throwback to over two years ago when I was ravenously consuming back-episodes of That Pedal Show, Rabea Massaad, and Anderton's. I'm really happy to see and hear you collaborate and continue to inspire. Thank you so much!
34:53 that really gave me goosebumps. This is like seeing Jimi with his first octavia/wah setup and getting music out of it. Bea, to me, is like the metal Jimi. He’s just going out there and creating new musicalities for himself. We can all but tag along and enjoy the changes it brings for the rest of us :) Absolutely love Rabea!
Been listening to Toska for a few years now and no one plays guitar like Rabea. 51:42 until the end is some of the best guitar work I've ever heard. Insane stuff, mate.
Rabea plays a genre that typically does not resonate (or didn't) with me, but I absolutely love his sound and musicality. Probably my favourite Anderton's player, if I may call him that. Thanks so much for one of the best TPS shows in recent history. It makes me forget about current problems.
It's very unfortunate that there are people in the world that haven't heard him play guitar. As much as he's a beast of a player it's his creativity that sets him apart.
Rabea's playing at the end of the video reminds me of Jimi at Monterey Pop Festival. Not so much the tone...or the playing really but more so because it made me set my guitar on fire. Because that was raw, pure, emotive and as a massive fan of That Pedal Show, Mick, Dan and Rabea thank you so much for this. Truly inspiring
Hiding the dB meter behind the 'Fro suggests you guys were kicking some noise. Rabea has some of the most amazing tones right now, such a diverse and gifted player and an absolute inspiration to listen to
Rabea is one of my favorite dudes on the internet and this was such a cool episode to watch. As always, love you guys and thanks for the amazing content! :D So happy I found this channel.
This is one of those occasions when I am taken out of my comfort zone and I get exposed to music I wouldn't normally listen to...and I love it. I've seen Rabea play before on various Andertons videos but this was a joy. No wonder Dan looked like he'd reached Nirvana .
I don't comment much but wow... Amazing tones, incredible playing, and I just loved seeing Dan and Mick react each time Bea casually threw out another epic sound.
I‘ve been stuck in my home alone for the past two and a half weeks now and going batty without any human interaction. Thanks for your videos guys! It reminds me of normal times.
I just started watching and I'm reminded of just how much weight Rabea lost a few years ago. Great to see him keeping it off, dude looks healthy! I weighed probably close to 240 most of my 20s, forced myself to drop down to 170 when I got diagnosed with hips needed replacing when I was 30. It's not easy to maintain, but damn Rab! Once we get bands playing shows again maybe a little love in Portland?
Heavy guitar isn't a sound that connects with me nor does music that feature it inspire me, but Rabea is so obviously a master of that tone and style. He is an incredible musician and it was a treat to hear the epic sounds he gets. Thank you all!
Perfect episode for my morning coffee. Feeling particularly isolated today. Thanks for working so hard on creating this fantastic, genuine content fellas!
Well it’s Dec 2021. Over the last 2 shitty years I have begun to appreciate heavier music. I now have covid. Going through the journey but not to bad so far. Bea and the PS have kept me focused. Thanks so much guys over the last 2 years. It is well appreciated.
Give me patch 6 and some of those Waza-Air headphones. It would be transcendent At about 35:38 I was seeing a jiggly slo-mo of planet Earth in its death throes. The atmosphere, oceans and ice caps cooking off in a ball of vapor. Then the plates slowly coming apart at the seams to expose the molten magma underneath and finally the core exploding under the release of pressure.but he didn't hit that last cataclysmic chord. Damn! I saw Dan speechless. Mick wiping away a tear and Rabea going. yeah I might use that in the beginning of a solo or maybe a for a full measure. I swear, the only thing not understated about Rabea is his playing. FMTT, he slays me
Thanks for a great episode gents! Rabea's style of music isn't where I feel most at home, but there were some really inspiring tones and some seriously good playing here!
I’ve been a big fan of Rebea for years now starting with his work in Dorje with Rob Chapman and the other members of his current band Toska. He definitely has a very cool style and skill beyond compare. I hope that when this whole COVID-19 thing is over he and Toska can tour in the states I would love to see them live.
@17:09-17:38 best part of the entire video. This is the moment I fell in love with Rabea's playing. Started researching, found Toska, etc. Now I'm a fan!
David Morisset Sometimes... other times the pedals are an integral part of the “instrument” and without them it’s simply not the same instrument and doesn’t work.
Great vid guys. Three of the coolest dudes in this particular universe. More power to you and hope you're all doing well considering the circumstances!
One of the coolest things about guitars and pedals etc is that it allows players to view the guitar thru a new vision and take the instrument somewhere else again. It’s always great to have the traditional players but always exciting to see where the players with a new vision choose to push the guitar sound too. Many Thanks again stay well everyone!
Dan's reaction at 25:15 is me every time I listen to Rabea/Toska. The perfect combination of beautiful ambience and gnarly riffs. My favourite episode yet, thank you! 🙌👌
Such an inspirational modern day guitarist, a pedalboard Jedi. Toska's album easily sits alongside the best of Tool, Mastodon and Gojira in my prog metal playlist.
Hope you guys are all safe, and hopefully it won’t be too long until you’re back on the grind. This period has caused me to take apart my board and put it back together differently five times.
Sister Mary Francis, what did I just see and hear. From heavenly beauty to the depth of the netherworld. Loved it. Great as always. Be safe all, from Los Angeles County , California.
Rabea has some of the best voicing. Breaks all the divides. If he was playing clean with a swing it would sound like modern jazz. Such great Harmony concepts
I've been following all of rabea's TH-cam stuff gear demos and Andertons ect. But I never checked out toska properly before, I have been MISSING OUT IMMENSLY incredible STUFF, using every ounce of his skill, knowledge and gear to the brim of it's capability, really inspiring. Thank you so much for getting him on again. Hope you're doing well in this crisis too.

Admirable.
As the man said: "Without music, life would be a mistake!"
Blessed are the pedalboard builders for they shall inherit good tone.
Can I get a TPS shirt with this quote
@@ceesklok364 If they make them then I want a free shirt!
Lol, I remember when Bea only used 3 boss pedals on a tiny board, he now has a full Mars mission command console for tone, and rocket launches.
One of the many many things I love about Rabea's playing is his use of the volume control.
I appreciate that Rebea uses his pedals as song writing tools. Every sound lends itself to a melody.
This is totally not the type of music I would listen to being an old classic rocker but I watched the whole of this episode. I was amazed at some of the sounds coming out of that rig.

@@DJG016 Thanks mate.
DJG016 totally agree. GSYBE is one of my favorite bands of all time
Musically the band Karnivool is a huge influence in Bea's sound. You should first check out their album Assymetry, then their album Sound Awake.
@@mrclarksix +1 Check out Karnivool... they're incredible.
Although id say Asymetry is perhaps their harder of the albums to get into depending on what you're used to, I only mean in terms of being the most atmospheric and then working backwards in that sense if you get me.

Right on Matt! You and he would get on very well indeed. Hope you’re all good mate, obvious Coroballs not withstanding!
I fucking hate when people say someone used to be shit.
He did awesome shit 5 years ago.
Matt Marriott he is the anti-rob Chapman.
@@noname-ng6sj he did not say that
I like how Dan reacts to people like Rabea playing. He's like an old black woman at a southern Baptist Church. Eyes closed waiting to shout amen while the pastor gets excited.
andrew sawyer right? When Bea does patch #3 he looks like he just found eternal source of energy and wants to bathe in it
That's exactly what I was thinking!
classic !!!!!
😂
The way the 3 Strymon pedals fit into the top left perfectly at 6:10 is so satisfying.
Harry Burke
Almost as if they planned for it.
Yeah, like that too. And the G2 fits perfectly too
contrasted with the way they sit at 9:20
That board looks custom made for a touring rig like this.
Mick: “How do you keep your bottom tight?”
Rabea: “Plenty of squats.”
No one wants a flabby bottom end

Much needed break from the madness of the world.
Thanks to everyone for my warm smile whilst watching.
Peace.
I adore how much Dan allows himself to be carried away in those sounds and progressions. You can just feel him disappearing for a moment.
There’s something hypnotic and addictive about watching a pedal board being built, regardless of who it’s for and what’s on it.
The ending riff of prayermonger gives chills every time I ear it, what an amazing song. Congrats Rabea, Ben and Dave. Great episode TPS, a breath of fresh air in this troubled times.
I love watching Dan close his eyes and lean his head back while he just soaks in the tone.
"How many pedal geeks does it take to open a box?"

it's 4 in the morning and I can't sleep because all the reasons... So glad to have this!
@@fedup3449 Thanks for trying to spread cheer. I'm sorry you've lost your trust in the media, government, etc. but you are mistaken; there is no conspiracy this time.

I love how Rabea can take these fusion metal tones that blow the minds of old school players but properly explain how the tone is crafted. incredible player and super down to earth guy. Love that number 6 pad as well!
It's worth re-watching - not just for Rabea's sound, but Dan's expressions to the tones
That tune at the end is epicly epic! Incredible guitarist and seems like a genuinely nice bloke too. 👍
Big, big sounds. creating sounds whilst maintaing musicality is an underapreciated talent in itself.
Jeeeez!! Simply jaw dropping stuff. I think Rabea has to be my favourite "modern" player, so creative. Thanks guys. Stay safe.
My world stops when Toska’ music plays. In the best way possible too. Easily the best escapism I have. Rabea, you’re a credit to your peers and music in general. Thank you

No arguments here!
RABEA's chord progression's and phrasing are my fav. I would love to learn to play like that over "shredding"
you're not alone

If you're "shredding" to impress people you've completely missed the point of making music and creation.
Everything is about how you apply it.
I can't believe there's not a noise gate pedal! Incredible board and amazing sounds Rabea. Kudos.
Prayermonger is just amazing! Massive, crushing, and stressful! My heart rate increases when I hear that song. Hard to breathe
Rabea's sound has got soul, harmony and incredible presence! Literally a step forward in the intelligence of the hard rock sound.
Simply wow....
Bea is both brutally heavy and stunningly creative, such a joy to listen and watch him play. Stay safe everyone!!
YES! YES! YES!!!!

From what I could see it rarely got past 100.
Yeah it was at 98-100 the whole night
Its viable most of the video lol! It's only around 95-100 rarely hitting the 100

Perfect cure for self isolation Corona covid craziness. Rabea is such a talent and his weight loss is so impressive. Thanks for the video guys.
4:08 that epicly building droning note.... I love how your musical mind works Bea.
Patch 6, beautiful. Haunting. Entrancing. It's something I would happily get lost in.
I could listen to Bea play all day, but honestly...Mick's facial expressions were by far the most entertaining part of this video :D
This is one of those occasions when I am taken out of my comfort zone and I get exposed to music I wouldn't normally listen to...and I love it. I've seen Rabea play before on various Andertons videos but this was a joy. No wonder Dan looked like he'd reached Nirvana .
Hooray !!!! My two favorite you tube channels collide. Thanks so much guys. Take my mind of things indeed you did.

Rabeas playing is something else.... So emotional sounding.... A real musician.
I‘ve been stuck in my home alone for the past two and a half weeks now and going batty without any human interaction. Thanks for your videos guys! It reminds me of normal times.
That intro was one of the most heartfelt statements that I have heard. It is nice to have something to take our minds off everything.
I just started watching and I'm reminded of just how much weight Rabea lost a few years ago. Great to see him keeping it off, dude looks healthy! I weighed probably close to 240 most of my 20s, forced myself to drop down to 170 when I got diagnosed with hips needed replacing when I was 30. It's not easy to maintain, but damn Rab! Once we get bands playing shows again maybe a little love in Portland?
Heavy guitar isn't a sound that connects with me nor does music that feature it inspire me, but Rabea is so obviously a master of that tone and style. He is an incredible musician and it was a treat to hear the epic sounds he gets. Thank you all!
Perfect episode for my morning coffee. Feeling particularly isolated today. Thanks for working so hard on creating this fantastic, genuine content fellas!
40:23 love Bea's smug expression of satisfaction at Dan & Mike's reaction to his sounds!
Incredible sounds Rabea, and mad props for "Abec 5", classic!
absolutely filthy high gaiin and the clean sounds with fx healed every mental and physical wound of the body mind heart and soul
At 17:16, it's just the next level in term of tones... And judging by the reaction of Dan and Mick, this must have sounded even more immense there!
Well it’s Dec 2021. Over the last 2 shitty years I have begun to appreciate heavier music. I now have covid. Going through the journey but not to bad so far. Bea and the PS have kept me focused. Thanks so much guys over the last 2 years. It is well appreciated.
Thanks Andy, hope you’re feeling better soon 🙏
Rabea is is the absolute vanguard of modern guitar playing. I could listen to him all day. Great episode. Shame it wasn't in stereo.
It was in stereo for the track I think. We took the decision for it not to be in the main vid for reasons I don’t understand. Mick here.
@@ThatPedalShow Fair enough
Such GREAT tones! His playing is so inspiring. Great looking board. Rabea is certainly one of his generations greats and even beyond.
Give me patch 6 and some of those Waza-Air headphones. It would be transcendent
At about 35:38 I was seeing a jiggly slo-mo of planet Earth in its death throes. The atmosphere, oceans and ice caps cooking off in a ball of vapor. Then the plates slowly coming apart at the seams to expose the molten magma underneath and finally the core exploding under the release of pressure.but he didn't hit that last cataclysmic chord. Damn!
I saw Dan speechless. Mick wiping away a tear and Rabea going. yeah I might use that in the beginning of a solo or maybe a for a full measure.
I swear, the only thing not understated about Rabea is his playing. FMTT, he slays me
Rabea is fantastic! Such an original, creative player. And he's such a likable person, too. This was a great episode!
Thanks for a great episode gents! Rabea's style of music isn't where I feel most at home, but there were some really inspiring tones and some seriously good playing here!
These are the best guitar tones I’ve heard in years
I’ve been a big fan of Rebea for years now starting with his work in Dorje with Rob Chapman and the other members of his current band Toska. He definitely has a very cool style and skill beyond compare. I hope that when this whole COVID-19 thing is over he and Toska can tour in the states I would love to see them live.
@17:09-17:38 best part of the entire video. This is the moment I fell in love with Rabea's playing. Started researching, found Toska, etc. Now I'm a fan!
Yay!
He plays his board like an instrument. Thats fascinating.
That's the point of all this.
Pedals are the seasoning.
David Morisset Sometimes... other times the pedals are an integral part of the “instrument” and without them it’s simply not the same instrument and doesn’t work.
The player+guitar+FX+Amp(s) = a Musical Ecosystem. That's the idea, as I understand it.
Great performance by Rabea. My respect for him just went up a few notches.
Great vid guys. Three of the coolest dudes in this particular universe. More power to you and hope you're all doing well considering the circumstances!
I love Mick's face throughout the playing part of the video. A mix of befuddlement and joy, that I haven't seen from him before.
Bea is a monster talent. Such an interesting and complete musician.
One of the coolest things about guitars and pedals etc is that it allows players to view the guitar thru a new vision and take the instrument somewhere else again. It’s always great to have the traditional players but always exciting to see where the players with a new vision choose to push the guitar sound too. Many Thanks again stay well everyone!
been waiting ever since that instagram post, can't wait
Dan's reaction at 25:15 is me every time I listen to Rabea/Toska. The perfect combination of beautiful ambience and gnarly riffs. My favourite episode yet, thank you! 🙌👌
Such an inspirational modern day guitarist, a pedalboard Jedi. Toska's album easily sits alongside the best of Tool, Mastodon and Gojira in my prog metal playlist.
That's easily one of my favorite Tps!! Those sounds and the way you capture them is just wow!! That will last me for weeks!! Thank you Dan & Mick!
Hope you guys are all safe, and hopefully it won’t be too long until you’re back on the grind. This period has caused me to take apart my board and put it back together differently five times.
Sister Mary Francis, what did I just see and hear. From heavenly beauty to the depth of the netherworld.
Loved it. Great as always. Be safe all, from Los Angeles County , California.
Rabea has some of the best voicing. Breaks all the divides. If he was playing clean with a swing it would sound like modern jazz. Such great Harmony concepts
Rabea's song writing is something that many musicians , composers out there would like to be able to do....
🙂
Cheers and thanks for the inspiration!
I like how G2 flatulates every time he presses the No. 7 switch.
I still come back here to listen/watch Rabea play at the end. Crazy. Especially the outro.
Love Rebea, love the tones and man... that guitar it's friggin amazing
This was like a TH-cam Toneseeker's dream, man. Rabea + Dan & Mick. Eargasm ensued. Jesus.
The great thing about Bea, aside from his colossal skill, is how incredibly humble he seems.
I've been following all of rabea's TH-cam stuff gear demos and Andertons ect. But I never checked out toska properly before, I have been MISSING OUT IMMENSLY incredible STUFF, using every ounce of his skill, knowledge and gear to the brim of it's capability, really inspiring. Thank you so much for getting him on again. Hope you're doing well in this crisis too.
