Same, its 2:53 where I am right now and I want to cranck my amp up and wake everyone up, I'll wait a few hours though. I don't have work tomorrow... oh I mean today haha
This series is super entertaining. Maybe on suggestion: A rig in between dirt cheap and overly expensive, for the working man musician. A rig that is versatile for gigging, rehearsing and practise. I'd love your educational take on this. If you were a guitarist in a band that plays mostly small clubs, and you were to start over, which essential gear would you choose?
Yeah that would be great. One guitar? I wonder whether they'd recommend something traditional like a Blues Jr and a Tele or think digital and versatile like an HSS strat with a THR100 or something like a Blackstar Silverline...would be a good episode.
For a standard, Fender inspired blues/rock/flexible rig, I think a Fender American Performer of your choice and a Bassbreaker 30R would be a great start, plus a selection of pedals to your tastes, probably a versatile OD/Distortion (1981 DRV?), mod of some sort, and a delay (maybe?)
Den I//Noble Russkie I’d have the American Performer Tele with the split coil humbucker in the neck, the THR100 and drive, reverb, delay, distortion and tuner pedal. Fully reliable, giggable and insanely flexible rig for $3k US or so.
@@jimmythefish Those THRs are amazing amps, can't fault you there!! For a long time I was considering using one for my stereo rig before I decided on a JC40. I did keep my pedal selection to 3 pedals, as per the brief though ;)
I agree! Something like a Squier guitar, with a blues junior, with a mix of like MXR and boss or tone city pedals. That makes a nice in between and will give great sounds. I would love to see Dan and Mick play that setup though.
In deed ! Dan's style is usually closer to my wheel-house ..but that Strat & Mick.. Damn . Bloody hell..the tone.. This video, gents..is my absolute favourite guitar tones..ever.. Both clean and crunch & higher gain. Specially the clean on both . PS: the Vox (with the Celestion Green series speakers) and Dan's red Tele..is also on that very Top. This was Glooorious....... Thank you so much. Kudos from Portugal . PPS : sorry if u have, and I missed it.., but have you ever tried a Stereo, or a Wet/dry/Wet setup with a Twin Reverb & a Vox AC30 ?
I can see two winners: two men who are lucky enough to get the chance to play the best equipment there is, knowing how privileged they are. And we are all privileged to be able to be part of all this. It is great to see how happy you are doing what you do. Happy new year!
Mick has me using my volume knobs a lot more than i use to. I played last weekend an used a les paul with humbuckers first set. Then played a Esquire the rest of the night and was completely happy. Volume knob help you find a lot more tones.
And the winner is… US, you’re ever so loyal viewing and listening audience. Absolutely spectacular, gentlemen! Thank you so much - it gets me even more excited for what is in store from you in 2020! 🎸
Gents... that was mental! The matchless is by far one of my favorite amps, but my LORD was Mick’s rig the best sound I have heard in a long time. Top notch boys!
I cannot begin to articulate how great that preamp pedal and flanger sound with the Tele. It is something magical sparkling through the Matchless, just so amazing! A treat for the ears.
Avid watcher of the show for ages. The mutual respect and genuine friendship Mick and Dan have between each other are just magically. To see two people that love what they are doing and emotionally moved by each others playing is everything that music should be and should bring to the world. Thank you so much for this raw energy and passion on display with your dream rigs. It's also a reminder of how much there is to discover and learn to put into my own playing.
Dan's impression when Mick plays = priceless. You probably can't be any more emotional, without shedding a tear. It's heart warming to witness such a genuine liking to... Well, anything. Keep up the awesome work guys, and have a great new year!
Watching some old videos a year later, I miss watching you guys just hang out and make a bunch of noise in the room. Hoping you’re able to get back in together soon!
I remember Mick saying how he struggled sometimes with various aspects of guitar, looking depressed as he discussed it. Now that look on his face, the one that says 'I found a little piece of guitar tone nirvana.' Best I've heard you sound Mick! As an aside, considered getting the custom shop to take a look at that Strat? Could be worth it, especially given how happy you looked playing it.
Do you know what I love about this show - you both play in such different styles, Mick so silky and bluesy - and Dan, I have to say, is one of the most underrated players on TH-cam in my opinion - so expressive. Merry Xmas guys.
Even though these setups are completely unattainable to most everyone, I found this your most inspiring episode yet! I LOVE hearing and seeing your reactions, getting so fired up by your own sounds. Thank you for this one!
Absolutely the best episode, bar non. Great tone and great playing! My favorite part was watching each reaction, comparing their main axes to each vintage guitar. We could clearly hear what you were reacting to as well. With that said, a 100 watt amp humming (does not need to be anywhere near 10), will always put to shame a low wattage stage compatible amp of today. Great job guys, you are the best.
Love coming back to older TPS videos like this, when mick did the divebomb thing and looked at dan, just the unashamed fun in that moment is why I love this video!
What I truly appreciate is that you guys always sound like yourselves no matter what you play on or through. Mick, I dig that you can channel your influences without sounding exactly like them. I was watching a famous player on TH-cam the other day and his tone was exactly the SRV tone. It was like watching someone talking with another person’s voice. You use similar gear, but your voice is your own. I dig it, my man. Dan you are such a great player as well. I dig the journey you’re on and learn a lot from watching you do your thing. Thanks, gents. Keep strumming!
Mick, I'm really smitten with the finish on the '61 Strat and decided to do a bit of digging and found that the defined stages of sunburst wasn't uncommon during the 60's. Indeed there is a '64 Strat in the Guitar mag "Stratocaster Bible" that clearly shows the three black/red/amber colours (although really worn) almost identical to yours. Whoever did the refinish on the '61 did a really good job. I think it's gorgeous and sounds celestial.
What a show... I literally giggled out loud when Mick went flat out with the fuzz, my god! Dan, some utterly lovely and epic sounds but Mick just struck such a chord in my heart with that playing. You two are an inspiration! Keep up the great work in 2019!
If you’ve got the cash splash it, and you should not be embarrassed. Fender all the way, the Strat & the Two Rock or the Tele & the Two Rock I’d be very happy with either. Brilliant video Dan & Mick. 👍🏻😎👊🏻
I loved that, fascinating stuff. It's always great to see you both getting off on tone, sounds, the feel of guitars. Such a really good, solid channel and the chemistry in the team is great. Thanks!
Loved this episode! The biggest difference I'm hearing between the vintage guitars and your old faithfuls is clarity. The vintage guitars just have great clarity and note separation across the entire range. Both red and blue get a little muddy, blue falters a bit more. This is especially true when gain comes in. The vintage guitars still sound crisp to where all the sounds are still there. Who knows why that is the case, but that's what I'm hearing.
After an event like this, (not just a show, but an event) with all the raw emotion flowing around, I would be totally fine with the two of you having a hug and a cry together. Because things like this are very special.
Absolutely insane 😭😭 . Dan - I remember that telecaster and felt the same way - that’s a special one. Mick - that rig is otherworldly . It mixes simplicity and elegance in the best way.
This reinforces everything I have learned - a guitar NEEDS to be loud, or at least "loud enough" so that the whole resonant feedback thing happens. Mick's tone at 42:25 with the Klon engaged was just SO good (remember this is an old weak single coil guitar) and when you get the sound and feel that you need, suddenly you really DO play better, which explains why he then went off on a Jimi trip probably without even realising it :O) This brings us back to the whole "save your hearing" thing. If the price of seeing true beauty was to slowly go blind, would you pay it? You can wear glasses which dull your eyesight, but then you might not see everything. Hmmm.... maybe with the right ear protection you can have it all.... Happy New Year to all at TPS, and subscribers!
43:27 - 110 dB SPL! And it was warm... The magic of electric guitars, pedals and amps in all their glory. Absolutely killer tones and playing from both of you!.
Ah, Jeezus... the pure, unadulterated joy of the spectacular possibilities of the electric guitar! Thank you, that was awesome. And the most important thing was what Dan said (at about 27:30) about "the sound that I connect with" - I so feel this: "unless I'm in that place where I'm connected it's really hard for me to do anything that sounds like me... but when I'm there...". That's my resolution for 2020, to find my version of that place / that sound that I connect with (it's all too often just not been there in my playing / performing situations over the last few years). Thank you both!
YES! If TPS is about one thing, it is that. Trying to get us all to finally realise that there is no universal better and worse - only what is best for you personally. That’s the quest!
I was floored they didn't run stereo. Just put an AB box between these two rigs. Then you would have the ultimate ridiculous rig, while immediately doubling the cost. Absolute reference material for tones.
@@frankieconcepcion7860 i started with digital and ss amps. Ill stick to my bassman. While i dont get to crank it up, i do play and fairly loud volumes by todays standards. The feel is completely different. You just cant get it from kemper or other digital. I have used a kemper in a recording environment, for that it is great. It keeps everything consistent.
Absolutely awesome stuff from both of you guys - the emotional connection with the music comes across loud and clear in both of you but especially Dan in this film for whom the words wistful and longing come to mind - looked like there would be tears of joy at certain points! So amazing to see the passion in both of you, and yes you are in a privileged position - but you’re not lucky, you’ve both worked bloody hard for years to get where you are. Just do us all a favour and keep on doing what you do, sharing your experience and knowledge with the rest of us. The hour I watch you two is blissful. Thank you!
The next episode in this series should be “the gigging musician’s rig”. One that doesn’t scream to be stolen at dive bars, is portable enough to be loaded/unloaded in one trip, and gets all the tone needed to melt faces.
Dream a Little Dream.. of Gear. Great episode, showing us your personal tone quest. This episode is for many of us that love music and sounds soooo much and we play guitar. One thing that i noticed is that both of you were inspired and couldnt hide the joy of being tone satisfied. Live long and Prosper.
Just bought used Thorpy Camo Ser # 070. Very excited and got to let you guys know that since I found you guys a few years back my playing has changed and grown to amazing heights as well as my wallet shrinking...lol. I have spent crazy on pedals but have had a blast. The carpe diem into HW deep blue delay..into blues jr / marshall class 5 through a/b tone bone is my go to setup but my master pedal board I spent last winter building is housing 23 pedals controlled by the Gig Rig 2. I grew up a blue grass picker and didnt touch an electric until I was 35yrs old. I have even bought numerous amps that you guys play through. Thank you so much for the inspiration and joy you gents have brought with THAT PEDAL SHOW.
That Tele clean tone. woof. Theres something in the low/low-mid area that compresses so lovely into that matchless. might be one of the best clean tones I've ever heard. I don't need a Matchless I can't afford a Matchless I don't need a Matchless I can't afford a Matchless... I will dream about that amp
Never heard Mick use so much gain.....it sounded GREAT, and he was controlling it so well....and when he kicked in the fuzz...wonderful!!!!!!!!! More please!!!!!!
“tragically hilarious” - you said it! Self-indulgent yes - but your self-indulgence allows us the experience these sonic hights without spending similar bucks... so in a way your providing a public service 😃
Really enjoy your videos; they’re very informative and entertaining at the same time!! I love chorus sounds, a very close second to a good overdrive. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Mick''s rig is far away from only blues, jimi, etc. - Mike McCready and Stone Gossard form Pearl Jam would fly from Seattle to play that amp with those 3 pedals. And that strat... oh, boy! You killed it, MIck. Dan, that Tele is speaking to you. Don't hurt her feelings! Beautiful warm storm, guys! Best from Barcelona
There will be no ripping to pieces here. This is no Andertons "by breaking the bank" episode... its so far beyond that. THIS is TPS at its finest! A Showcase of all the best gear wizardry that VERY few people get to ever witness and these make it available for us to enjoy. You guys are the masters. I literally smiled so hard a tear came to my eye at one point while Mick was waist deep in "Schwangrala". A genuine thank you to the both of you for your passion alone.
Mick wins "unfeasibly loud" hands down. I only saw Dan hit 102 a couple of times, maybe a 103, Mick hit 106 ticking over and at least once was up at 110
I don't know why it took me so long to find your channel - probably because I'm very new to the electric scene (long time acoustic player) - but I LOVE your content!!!! I currently have no gear of my own, but I'm building preferences and direction while enjoying the playful, professional and insightful content you guys put out. Much love from Canada
That was quite special all round. Here's me sitting on some very lovely Fender MB stuff, now wanting to trade the lot for just one beat-up mongrel '61!!! What a thing! I love that you watch Dan's opening 4 secs and he's all full of beans.. then at the end he's utterly spent - this is EXACTLY why I come here every week!
Fun outing, as always. Agree with the observations on relative differences between Red and the '64 Tele and Blue and the '61 Strat. The analogy that comes to mind is a woodcarving of a scene: same scene, "identical" image, but one piece is more deeply carved or incised.
Mick really blew my mind with his tone! I listen to it and instantly had to smile! What a crazy setup! Totally worth it! Dan’s tone was beautiful too! more into the Pink Floydish thing i would say, awesome show guys!
What an interesting and amazing video - thank you, guys. I tell you what I love about you two... I love how you manage to communicate that emotional thing that we all feel from time-to-time, which is why we all do this crazy thing and spend so much of our money. It really is a beautiful thing.

And two years later you both own the guitars! Tremendous.
Ha! Never thought of that 👍
I'm not up to date with vintage guitar prices, but imagine they would go for a lot more than they were quoting in this video!
@@WS-bk7uuespecially after the last round of massive worldwide inflation.
I can’t afford any of this. But based on Mick’s outstanding demonstration I am getting a piece of paper and a horn.
Damn, you can afford a piece of paper and a horn? Easy there Mr. Moneybags ;)
You were lucky to have a room. We used to live in corridor
NOTHING epitomizes this channel like Mick comparing the tone of the horn off of the carpet vs paper @ 12:10. i frickin love this show!
@@metricdeep8856 #BecauseTone
So true! That was a level of tone nerdiness seldom seen.
Dog ears. :-D
BigSh00ts we need an hour + on air horn room tone, through pedals, through excessive ambience...
It changed my life. Made me decide I needed a horn like that.
Dan's rig is probably the most incredible guitar sound I've ever heard. It's 2 a.m and it's fired me right back up again to make some music.
Yes! This is the right result!
Same, its 2:53 where I am right now and I want to cranck my amp up and wake everyone up, I'll wait a few hours though. I don't have work tomorrow... oh I mean today haha
No more T.P.S. after 10 PM, for you guys, lol...
if u like a tele going full icepick-to-the eardrum
to each their own, i guess
You know it sounds good when Mick is so into it that he forgets to see if the mics are clipping

Thank you sir!
second that
Third that! Only just got to listen to this show today and your playing Mick was totally moving. That 61 is God's Strat for sure.
Albert King!!!!!
In deed !
Dan's style is usually closer to my wheel-house ..but that Strat & Mick.. Damn . Bloody hell..the tone..
This video, gents..is my absolute favourite guitar tones..ever..
Both clean and crunch & higher gain.
Specially the clean on both .
PS: the Vox (with the Celestion Green series speakers) and Dan's red Tele..is also on that very Top.
This was Glooorious.......
Thank you so much.
Kudos from Portugal .
PPS : sorry if u have, and I missed it.., but have you ever tried a Stereo, or a Wet/dry/Wet setup with a Twin Reverb & a Vox AC30 ?

it´s a delight just watching Dan enjoying tone
Agree 100% ! SO GREAT!
💛
37:41 Dan's micro expressions while listening to Mick play: 10/10
Epic, but would be interested to hear you play each others rigs as part of the evaluation. Love the show, guys.
Steven Hadfield that’s a great idea!
Steven Hadfield indeed
I like this idea a lot!
Do this
Totally agree, I was just about to suggest the exact same thing. 👍
I love when dan is at a loss because he is having a religious tonal experience lol
He is toning out
The angels of tone start to tickle his inner bits 👍😂🎸🎼🙏
Dan consistently has some of the best Tele-sounds I've ever heard, but Mick's Strat into the Two Rock with the fuzz on was just... God-like.
Mick has me using my volume knobs a lot more than i use to. I played last weekend an used a les paul with humbuckers first set. Then played a Esquire the rest of the night and was completely happy. Volume knob help you find a lot more tones.
Dan: “ah don’t turn it down, it sounds so nice” 😂 Hero!
And the winner is… US, you’re ever so loyal viewing and listening audience. Absolutely spectacular, gentlemen! Thank you so much - it gets me even more excited for what is in store from you in 2020! 🎸
Funny how this absurd challenge just seems like an average 'Show us your rig' thread on The Gear Page.
As much as I love RED, it's time Dan. That 65 Tele is supreme.
Joel, you just said what we’re all thinking but were too afraid to say.
64
@@millmoormichael6630 guess you didn't read the notes? 65...
Sadly, I agree. Red has been one of my all-time favs, but alas, she has been defeated...
And I also love it at about 38:54 when Dan says "Oh, don't turn it down, that's so nice..." I think we all feel the emotion in that ... ahhh....
Mick’s playing was so good in this one I clapped at home
Micks sounds are “if all those lawyers and doctors actually played”
Hahahaah!!!

genius!
40:36 "I didn't used to like all that hairy top end." There's your new T-shirt
"Wide open" "Masters on 3.5" I know that feeling.
Yeah, hardly wide open. Sorry, I mean the tone section wide open - defeated.
Please wear earplugs. You can play much louder, perhaps wide open. Love your show, please take care.
One of the best guitar tones I’ve ever heard Mick
Thank you Sam!
Mick's tone literally had my jaw open when he clicked on the fuzz! I haven't even finished the video yet, but Mick got this one!
That fuzz sure punished the microphone inputs! 111dB!
The thumbnail on this vid is absolutely legendary.
Gents... that was mental!
The matchless is by far one of my favorite amps, but my LORD was Mick’s rig the best sound I have heard in a long time.
Top notch boys!
I cannot begin to articulate how great that preamp pedal and flanger sound with the Tele. It is something magical sparkling through the Matchless, just so amazing! A treat for the ears.
Swear I was tearing up when Dan struck his first chord. Happy new year guys and keep doing you in 2020
Avid watcher of the show for ages.
The mutual respect and genuine friendship Mick and Dan have between each other are just magically. To see two people that love what they are doing and emotionally moved by each others playing is everything that music should be and should bring to the world. Thank you so much for this raw energy and passion on display with your dream rigs.
It's also a reminder of how much there is to discover and learn to put into my own playing.

Bless you Gabin, thank you!
if it sounds that good on youtube, I'm sure I'd be crying on site. shivers, shivers all over me.
One of the best videos I've seen in ages, really come across how much you care about the sound and tone.
This is the best vid they have done so far.
The most perfect Strat amp pedal playing power ever.
And the delay with the tele was stunning also.
The friendship and joy is palpable. BOTH episodes were insightful, hilarious & of course USEFUL! Keep up the good work!
Literally stunned by Mick's tone and playing. Just, wow.

Agree, but have to adress the fact that the space echo is a solid state tape echo. Magic sound for sure!

Ah man, they sound awful! We gave ours to the charity shop.
Gotta be Zircon Encrusted ...
so picky with plucking ! ;-)@@ThatPedalShow
Ah, Jeezus... the pure, unadulterated joy of the spectacular possibilities of the electric guitar! Thank you, that was awesome. And the most important thing was what Dan said (at about 27:30) about "the sound that I connect with" - I so feel this: "unless I'm in that place where I'm connected it's really hard for me to do anything that sounds like me... but when I'm there...". That's my resolution for 2020, to find my version of that place / that sound that I connect with (it's all too often just not been there in my playing / performing situations over the last few years). Thank you both!
YES! If TPS is about one thing, it is that. Trying to get us all to finally realise that there is no universal better and worse - only what is best for you personally. That’s the quest!
Dan plays-
Me- thats the rock sound i need
Mick plays-
Me- dang it, theres my clean sound. Now i need 40k lol
Get a Helix or Kemper and you can get it 🤷🏻♂️
Just came to the comments to say the opposite!
Dan: Clean King
Mick: Dirty Dictator
I was floored they didn't run stereo. Just put an AB box between these two rigs. Then you would have the ultimate ridiculous rig, while immediately doubling the cost. Absolute reference material for tones.
youKnowWho3311 yes a wet/dry with the two amps would be so so good!
@@frankieconcepcion7860 i started with digital and ss amps. Ill stick to my bassman. While i dont get to crank it up, i do play and fairly loud volumes by todays standards. The feel is completely different. You just cant get it from kemper or other digital. I have used a kemper in a recording environment, for that it is great. It keeps everything consistent.
Both brilliant but, man, Mick, the dynamics, some of that sound made me get up and do a little jig of joy in my kitchen. GREAT work.
Suffice to say when Dan demo’d his sound I felt how Mick seemed to feel as well. Goosebumps.
Absolutely awesome stuff from both of you guys - the emotional connection with the music comes across loud and clear in both of you but especially Dan in this film for whom the words wistful and longing come to mind - looked like there would be tears of joy at certain points! So amazing to see the passion in both of you, and yes you are in a privileged position - but you’re not lucky, you’ve both worked bloody hard for years to get where you are. Just do us all a favour and keep on doing what you do, sharing your experience and knowledge with the rest of us. The hour I watch you two is blissful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for that Dean. It is about emotion and we are always straight about that. Not everybody gets it but we’re glad you do!
The next episode in this series should be “the gigging musician’s rig”. One that doesn’t scream to be stolen at dive bars, is portable enough to be loaded/unloaded in one trip, and gets all the tone needed to melt faces.
The hardest one of all!
Dream a Little Dream.. of Gear. Great episode, showing us your personal tone quest. This episode is for many of us that love music and sounds soooo much and we play guitar. One thing that i noticed is that both of you were inspired and couldnt hide the joy of being tone satisfied. Live long and Prosper.
Holy shit, Mick. Best I think I've ever heard you. And great playing man. You're clearly inspired.
Just bought used Thorpy Camo Ser # 070. Very excited and got to let you guys know that since I found you guys a few years back my playing has changed and grown to amazing heights as well as my wallet shrinking...lol. I have spent crazy on pedals but have had a blast. The carpe diem into HW deep blue delay..into blues jr / marshall class 5 through a/b tone bone is my go to setup but my master pedal board I spent last winter building is housing 23 pedals controlled by the Gig Rig 2. I grew up a blue grass picker and didnt touch an electric until I was 35yrs old. I have even bought numerous amps that you guys play through. Thank you so much for the inspiration and joy you gents have brought with THAT PEDAL SHOW.
That Tele clean tone. woof. Theres something in the low/low-mid area that compresses so lovely into that matchless. might be one of the best clean tones I've ever heard.
I don't need a Matchless I can't afford a Matchless I don't need a Matchless I can't afford a Matchless...
I will dream about that amp
Never heard Mick use so much gain.....it sounded GREAT, and he was controlling it so well....and when he kicked in the fuzz...wonderful!!!!!!!!! More please!!!!!!
“tragically hilarious” - you said it! Self-indulgent yes - but your self-indulgence allows us the experience these sonic hights without spending similar bucks... so in a way your providing a public service 😃
Really enjoy your videos; they’re very informative and entertaining at the same time!! I love chorus sounds, a very close second to a good overdrive. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Mick''s rig is far away from only blues, jimi, etc. - Mike McCready and Stone Gossard form Pearl Jam would fly from Seattle to play that amp with those 3 pedals. And that strat... oh, boy!
You killed it, MIck.
Dan, that Tele is speaking to you. Don't hurt her feelings!
Beautiful warm storm, guys!
Best from Barcelona
There will be no ripping to pieces here. This is no Andertons "by breaking the bank" episode... its so far beyond that. THIS is TPS at its finest! A Showcase of all the best gear wizardry that VERY few people get to ever witness and these make it available for us to enjoy. You guys are the masters. I literally smiled so hard a tear came to my eye at one point while Mick was waist deep in "Schwangrala". A genuine thank you to the both of you for your passion alone.
Cheers Marc :))
Dan: It's been refinished
Me: Looks at all the scratches and missing paint
Mick wins "unfeasibly loud" hands down. I only saw Dan hit 102 a couple of times, maybe a 103, Mick hit 106 ticking over and at least once was up at 110
Needed to hear Mick/strat through Dan's rig and vice-versa
Both outstanding and wholeheartedly agree about less difference between the teles
Chris Warburton
I thought the same, as well as I’d like to hear how humbuckers sound through Dan’s rig.
@@ionobelisk Especially the Tele though the Two Rock with the tonestack bypass on. Robben Ford's favorite sound.
I don't know why it took me so long to find your channel - probably because I'm very new to the electric scene (long time acoustic player) - but I LOVE your content!!!! I currently have no gear of my own, but I'm building preferences and direction while enjoying the playful, professional and insightful content you guys put out. Much love from Canada
Awesome, thanks Wes and welcome to the fam!
Dan's mastery of progressions and voicings is just stunning...
And his hair after the emotional breakdown... Hah!
That was quite special all round. Here's me sitting on some very lovely Fender MB stuff, now wanting to trade the lot for just one beat-up mongrel '61!!! What a thing!
I love that you watch Dan's opening 4 secs and he's all full of beans.. then at the end he's utterly spent - this is EXACTLY why I come here every week!
THIS! THIS is the episode I've been waiting for!
Fun outing, as always. Agree with the observations on relative differences between Red and the '64 Tele and Blue and the '61 Strat. The analogy that comes to mind is a woodcarving of a scene: same scene, "identical" image, but one piece is more deeply carved or incised.
Dan's sound straight into amp was glorious!
Mick really blew my mind with his tone!
I listen to it and instantly had to smile! What a crazy setup! Totally worth it!
Dan’s tone was beautiful too! more into the Pink Floydish thing i would say, awesome show guys!
Best thumbnail so far! Mick made me laugh :D
That’s a good start! :0)
What an interesting and amazing video - thank you, guys. I tell you what I love about you two... I love how you manage to communicate that emotional thing that we all feel from time-to-time, which is why we all do this crazy thing and spend so much of our money. It really is a beautiful thing.
“It’s the whole point of the whole thing, to be connected.” Amen.
Also, holy smokes, 111db!
Perfect video for the dbags at The Gear(snob) Page!
And another perfect choosing on the pedals! They all have top mounted jacks as demanded by TGP
