Life too short for long CZcams videos? See the ‘interesting bits and go-to sections timings’ below
Welcome to the show! For our last show of 2020 we thought we’d have a bit of fun with a challenge. You have just 15 minutes to throw four pedals on a board and get out the door, grabbing an amp and two guitars as you do. What do we choose?
Yes, we spelt Wahcko wrong. We know, we know, we know. Thanks for letting us know. It was loo late to reoutput and reupload. Sorry.
Enjoy the episode, dedicated to the late, great Les Dawson.

"Two gain stages, a delay and something wobbly."
Well that's the new t-shirt sorted.
“Ii’m in a bit of a panic here. First thing is coffee.”
This is how I know that Mick is my spirit animal.
Hello from Tennessee! My 3 lessons learned: 1) a boost before and after your gain stages gives you a ton of options. 2) a cocked wah can add tonal variety. 3) you don't have to replicate the sound of the recording exactly. Give the audience a recognizable "flavor" (usually in the opening riff) and they'll fill in the rest. Shows about gear are great, but shows teaching us how to USE gear while performing are better than country ham on a hot biscuit. Thanks, boys
Exactly this!
Cheers from Alabama, Jerry. Hit the nail on the head.
Favorite recognizable flavor: playing “all along the watchtower” with nothing but a fuzz factory and a delay pedal. Got it done more nights than not, incorrect sound = crowd pleaser. Never stop turning those knobs!!!
As a native son of Virginia, I second the country ham on a hot biscuit!
Aye
"I guarantee you we will go over 87 dB"
Dan plays 1 chord:
"90.0 dB"
If nothing else, todays shows demonstrates the utter stupidity of the horrible mix that is copyright & CZcams. Kudos for making it hilarious.
That one dislike is probably Dave 😂 Great video as usual gents! // Guillaume
Nah it was dave Jr. lol
Guillaume! Hope you're well man. Much love to you and everyone there. :0)
I'm offended by your accusation...Dave here, hello!
@@ThatPedalShow All good here guys, looking forward to finally meeting and jamming again! All the love, and stay safe!
I'm also offended! But I'm not Dave, I'm Davedave. But Davedave Jr (we call him Wee Davedave) does love Baby Shark...
HAHA the sweet child of mine segment is probably the most faithful recreation of a pub version of that song!
"How do you know the stage is level?" - "The drummer dribbles out both sides of his mouth"
YES!
The new Covid outbreak in NSW was contact-traced back to a DRUMMER!!
My guitar teacher told this joke when I was in high school. Great to see it out and about again.
What's the difference between a sax and a trampoline? Take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline
Yes I love Dan with his Tele, but am loving the Gretsch more and more.
That Gretsch is something else. It's a Les Paul but with that bite and clarity normally associated with single coils. Plus, it's beautiful!
Love the stories! I was asked to stop playing at a high school talent show. Full band playing Kiss “I wanna rock and roll all night”. We didn’t stop. 😂 Also at a frat party in a huge tent in southern Illinois. We spent all the money were were being paid on a big sound system and engineer. The police came 2 songs in and told us to stop so we thought we would do one more song and picked a Metallica medley. The police got upset and unplugged the power but it was for the lights so we finished the medley in the dark. Good times!
Pure gold! You haven’t lived if you’ve never had the power shut off. And by the police! WINNING!
Uh I unplugged the "lights" on purpose Greg 🤘🤘🤘
"Loudest pub gig in England. Eighty-seven dB." LOL -- I'm pretty certain I've had louder sneezes. 😂 In other news, the flat downstairs complained about my 0.1 Watt DSL1CR last week, so even sneezes are going to be a bit sketch.
P.S. - If you're going to do Leaving On A Jet Plane, you really needed a flanger with regen at max. *WHOOSH*
Video about 15-minute challenge: over 1 hour long. I love you guys!
But of course.
“Coming out of my cage and I’ve been feeling just fine” BAKA WAH WOW WAH WAAAAH
Being that I am a Dave Jr. I felt honored that this video was about me! and the reason Dave Sr. couldn't make the gig was because Dave Jr. decided to ride his sled down the cellar stairs and couldn't make the turn at the bottom and needed stitches in his chin. Thanks Guys!
The Mrs said I should start watching something else... As soon as Dan couldn't fit the Julia on the board I said "get the mooer flanger!"
Same!
What a great episode lads, loads of fun, much to take onboard and digest, and lovely to see you both having a good laugh.
Super cool how many useful sounds you got out of so few pedals! A lesson in efficiency and versatility! And that cocked wah thing was really amazing!
What a great way to make fun of the YT copyright trolls! Lighthearted fun with creativity. Good job guys. Shout out to Catherine.
That clock falling off in Dan's video made me SNORT with laughter!!
Me too. Mick here.
I can't help to have so much fun when you guys have fun. Great Episode and Cheers
You guys always bring joy and laughter to me!!!! Thank you as always
Bless Dave for his contribution to this wonderful production. Your the best Dave, we cherish you 🙏
Acknowledging the power issue is part of why we love you. Great video as always. I hope you and both families have a glorious festive season.
Given both of your ability for occasional overthinking, the next video needs to be an 8 week pedalboard challenge. I jest.
Love these videos. Walking into the studio room with all those pedals was like kid in a candy store. I love Electric Mistress and Chorus. Very impressed with the Protein as always on and Ripply Fall. Great stuff and love the chuckles. Happy Holidays gentlemen!!!
Another great show guys!! Loads of laughs and tons of fun. Cheers!
I absolutely love these challenges! So incredibly fun, entertaining, and informative.
Mick 'n' Dan's "Cover Band At The End Of The Universe"
Amazing show. A lot of great usable information and tips. More of this!!
Love these type of devide & compete style videos! Always lends great perspective to draw conclusion and advice from!
Loved this episode. Not just diddling around with 6 "Bluesbreakers", but actually having to pick pedals and apply them. BOTH types of episodes are extremely worthwhile but this was really great. Bravo, guys!
This was such a fun watch, fantastic playing and playing the wrong chords to those set list songs who a stroke of genius and very funny, top notch episode chaps :)
Looked like you guys had a lot of fun doing it, and it was fun to watch too!
What a fun episode!! It brought back memories of my band days. Its amazing how simple you can make a rig well done guys!!
That was AMAZing. So fun to see your thought process around playing covers.
People get all snooty and talk about 'its *just* a covers band'... Well so is the London Philharmonic Orchestra most of the time, it's just their hits are a couple hundred years out of date.
Carry on, my wayward sons!
I love that analogy. People have always been snooty to me about playing in cover bands. Mick here. I always remark that I really hate playing to people who really enjoy the music and getting paid well to do it. Hahahahhaha
Great video. Shows how much you can get out of just a handful of pedals. And I love that Gretsch. Sounds great and she’s a beauty.
Great show! Thanks for making the week brighter boys :)
just started the video but love this idea, this has been a situation for me more times than I'd like to admit. Last minute gig, last minute prompt, pedaltrain and a few random pedals -GO!
Dan & Mick, thanks for all you’ve done this year to keep us guitar players going through the weird times. Have a great Christmas and New Year and you and yours stay safe and well. 🤘🏻👍🎸🤘🏻👍🎸🎄🎄🎄
And to you and yours Simon. Have a great one!
Watching you tiptoe round those songs was glorious, another great video guys!
Great video, the summary about getting in the ballpark was so reassuring to hear. I wasted a lot of time trying to nail recorded sounds with modellers but am so happy to be back to a few gain stages, some wobblies and delay into V40 and feel like I’m back in control of my rig. Thank you so much for all you do.
Dan and Mick ... the Les Dawsons of CZcams guitar channels. Bless you both!
I now desperately want you two to play our wedding. Mind, we've been happily married for 21 years, but it would be epic. Only, you have to reinterpret every song, so the ceremony doesn't get defunded...
I have heard those "jazzy" notes at many pub gigs. Bloody love it. Brilliant end to the year.
As flippin' hilarious as it is listening to Dan destroy classic riffs into dissonant jazz realms, this episode has been really great - showing how a minimal rig can do the business! Cheers lads!
A nod to the nod from Katherine!
You brought joy to my day! Thank youuuu
How good of a guitarist is Dave, that they call two guitarists to replace him?
Dave plays a double neck
I presumed it was Dave Gregory, so yes...
Dan would get the gig , Mick's going to miss it by a minute ha.
What they didn't tell you is that Dave's last name is Gilmour
@@jomomma193 David if you please
Great video guys. Love this type of thing.
Everyone on youtube seems to be doing pedalboard builds, but no one ever tells you how to unbuild a pedalboard and put everything on the shelves properly. I think this should be your next video as there is clearly a gap in the market.
Yes!!
Yes! Especially if you're on a dB limit :-)
Do you store pedals by brand, type, colour...??????
Haha, Katherine makes the camera wobble when you say she’s handling the camera today. Very clever.
LOL.. "Two gain stages", grabs 4.
Guys this was so much fun to watch. Have a great Christmas to all at TPS 🎸🤘🏼
I think I nearly peed myself several times... watching you guys avoid copyright strike was the funniest thing I've seen in ages!
Love this show so much, makes my day every upload :)
To top off a year of chaos Dan's bookended the madness by taking us to the alternate reality where he uses a wah while Mick forgoes wahs or expression pedals of any kind XD
These are my favorite TPS style videos, I love the random challenges
What a bloody good episode. Really useful. I don't think I've ever gleaned quite as much practical gigging / sound shaping advice in my entire life this far vs. this episode.
Marvelous and inspiring work as ever. Seasonal flavours to you and yours this Yuletide TPS. As we say in Scotland Lang may yer lumb reek! x
Awesome, thanks Iain! Yuletide seasonings to you and yours! As we say in the south, GET OFFF MY LAAAAAND!
Hahahaha! x
Great episode and a lot of fun!
Brilliant had a great laugh, fantastic playing. 👍🏻
Normally my highlight is the building challenge and seeing what you guys come up with. Today - I couldn't help but love the noncopyrighted setlist attempts. Brilliant!
Great fun and also very useful!
nice guys! I really like the alternate guitars, a lot. they are quite distinctive. (refreshingly)
why is it so much fun watching good guitarists TRYING to play the wrong chords? GREAT STUFF!
What a treat. Love the show chaps
Thanks David! Hope all is great with you.
This was a lot of fun. Good stuff lads.
I love simple quick boards. My main board is always Univibe, 2 drives and a Delay. I love playing covers using that and trying to find ways to limit my options and get the most sounds. I’ve never been a big pedal board with MIDI and thousands of song sounds programmed in. I will occasionally add a Tremolo to the mix but that’s a crazy as I get.
Can you imagine how cover gigs would go if the copyright police were there? “Wow, it’s like the band kinda knows how to play that song”. That would be so fun to try to figure out, on the fly, how to change a song. Then again, pop up requests seem to sound like that anyway. Lol. Thanks guys, loved the video.
love you guys...thx from the States!
Mick’s electric antlers decoration finally comes into its own at this time of year :-)
speaking of time - for those who spend weeks and months planning a board and making cables (like me) it is immensely eliminating to realize how many chunks of actual 15 minute permutations exist during that same period. Props to the boys for showing the difference between thought and action in this spectacular pedal show! - PS. Panic = Coffee! I love you Mick! Hi Katherine!
Another great Sunday morning watching. My wife couldn't understand why Dan kept getting the music wrong. Paraphrase: "He plays great but why doesn't he know these songs!" After I stopped laughing and explained copywrite, she laughed along. Well done fellas!
Really helpful to see how you would use the pedals in the context of a song and a worthwhile reminder that you don’t need to stress about copying a tone precisely.
I laughed !,,,, so much. Thanks for another great video ! Great topic !
What a morning, the mandalorian finale and now this!! Thanks guys, you both are incredible, all the best to you both, this is the way.
:0 is it a good one? Mando ofcourse. This show cant be bad.
@@9timesacharm very special
Great episode! Particularly useful toward the end where the point is made not to try and perfectly duplicate a sound, but get the key elements to have people recognize the song.
Totally that! As long as you play it with feeling, that absolutely smashed crazy person dancing will totally love it! ;0) (can you stop her spiller her cider in my Automatone / knocking my front teeth out by falling into my mic stand, please. Hahahaha!
My name is Dave Jr.
Nice of you to include me in your show - I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me!
I love it. So Mick & Dan are into role-playing, too!
Great video, hope to see more of this fast challenges
“4 pedals”
Mick: “watch me grab 4 dual pedals... so here comes 8 pedals!”
That being said, I’ve always got half of Mick’s board, maybe I should get the other half it’s a great sounding combo.
Makes sense!!
Multi function pedals are a great space saver!!
My favourite overdrive now is the EHX Hot Wax as it really does give you the ability too get all the GREATEST Marshall tones in one box (it works both with a clean Fender platform & a gritty Marshall/Vox platform (how many pedals do that!!?) & I've rediscovered my old Line6 DL4 as it's simple & covers the delay needs (I had them too hand!!) & then I can add thing's such as a Tubescreamer,Analogue Chorus,Phase & Flanger for little bits of colour.
A wah pedal (Dunlop Cry Baby a old one) is first in line followed by a Boss tuner (provides input buffer!) & this gets me out of a mess for most situations!!
I plug it all into the front of a old Marshall plexi & I've done it this way for over 37 years & I'm used too it!!
Obviously pedals have changed over the years & come back etc....
My latest tweak is not really revolutionary as it's basically a Dunlop Wah,Boss TU3,Boss Compressor,MXR Phase 90,Ibanez/Keeley TS808,EHX Hot Wax,Guyatone Chorus/Flanger/Vibrato,Ibanez CS9,EHX Memory Man & Boss DD3 (the order they're going into the amplifier) & this works for me!
As I've said before,it will change as pedals come & go & come back again & so on.........!
But it's all part of the fun!!
Awesome as always. A video lesson on your go to riffs for when you first plug into different types of pedals you have never tried before would be magical
Awesome stuff! Neil Finn is the reason I spent years hunting down a G6128T-1962 double-cut Duo Jet. :)
Loved the songs, reminded me of the late great Les Dawson. :)
Everytime i hear that Two Rock its absolutely heavenly. That would definitely be my dream amp if i could afford one. What a perfect amp. Both of your builds are fantastic. This video was a really fun one. Poor Dave, i hope his kid is ok. 😂
I love that a 15 minute challenge still takes over an hour on youtube! - still love the channel.
This really helped ease my GAS. Less is more/make do with what you have. Great episode!
That was pure class !! Sat here watching with a can of amber nectar, and already this has cheered me up. Although we're going into a tier 3 lock down and an uneventful weekend for the 40th time .. Great job guys .. had me roaring with laughter !!
Thanks Garry! Here’s to whatever we can learn from Tier 3. :0)
Big up for the Ted Rogers name drop. Not enough Dusty Bin references in pedal videos on CZcams 😁
Only TPS could make a 15 min challenge last an hour haha. brilliant episode, loved it!
Great fun watching you Boys loosing it. This show trying to hit song sounds does a great service to a goal of choosing the right pedals.
Dan having trouble with the Velcro gave me flashbacks of my worst gig memory.
Late to the party (as always...) but just wanted to say what a BRILLIANT show. Speaking as someone who's never likely to be in a band or play at a gig, it still gave me great insight into how much fun that could be. Great sounds and playing by both you gents.
Loving these challenges that put some of the sounds into context. It’s like I’ve been tricked into learning - like when my history teacher showed us the Mummy in Ancient Civilizations Class - except less Brendan Fraser, and that time I didn’t actually learn anything.
Love the attempts at not raising the trademark red flags. Hahaha. Well done as always fellas.
It's a real treat seeing you guys crack each other up whilst skirting the copyright police with those mismanaged covers. Great content as always! [Really wished Dan had gotten the Julia on that board though!]
Crowbar that timeline..lol..best channel on the interwebs.
I'm using my Lightspeed how you guys were using the protein/bad bob. Love that tiny bit of squish and presence it gives
By trying not to play Brown Sugar, you're likely playing some other Stones song. 🤣
Hahahah!!! Too true!
I can just imagine the wah on Wonderful Tonight's opening riff. I can't believe Eric didn't put that in. Genius, guys!!
I've watched you guys for many years. Your humour is right up my alley so I usually laugh even at your lame jokes. But I have never laughed as hard as when I watched you guys deliberately mess up riffs. Hilarious.
Hahah! Awesome! We’re so glad to hear it! We were worried that Das Internetz was going to have a sense of humour failure.
Thank you for being human Pierre!
The board reveal section was pure gold gentlemen
When Mick played that Vibrato- lick I stopped and had to google John Scofield. Returned to this video, you mention him!
