  • Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedalshowstore.com
    Life too short for long CZcams videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
    We get asked all the time to feature more value-for-money pedals on the show. In this episode we set ourselves an upper budget of £350 to create a full electric guitar pedalboard that must include: drive, modulation, delay and one other free choice. Our amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.
    Regular viewers will notice that we have an additional mic on the amp in this video too - a Sontronics Delta Ribbon Mic that will feature more prominently in next week’s show… www.sontronics.com
    The £350 budget was set at Friday 23 June 2017… but it seems that some prices have already gone up! Consider the numbers a rough guide at best, not least with Mick’s dreadful mental arithmetic.
    We didn’t include power for the pedals and the board itself in the budget, though as you’ll see, Mick managed to build a rudimentary board within the budget. AND cover it in fake grass. Yeah baby.
    What did we choose, and what does it all sound like? Let’s do this…
    Pedals in this episode…
    A note on prices: Retail prices fluctuate greatly, not least internationally. Even since we shot this video some prices have gone up already.

    I’ll tell you why I love this episode so much: I own less than 10 pedals, only recently bought an isolated power supply, and I buy most of my stuff used on Reverb. This was just like my own life! So relatable. You guys should do stuff like this more often. But even if you don’t, keep it up! Love the show.

    The Eleclady sounds brings Gilmour to mind (naturally). I know this has been done by others, but... Would it be too much to ask for a Gilmour-oriented episode? One pedal brand I'm dying to see you guys discuss is Buffalo FX, their Evolution pedal in particular.

    Watched this years ago. I'm putting a mini pedal board together, so today I watched it again, now with the specific interest in the e-lady that I just bought used. Realized I have to get the Trelicopter.
    I love how TPS tweak their pedals while playing to get the effect to work with the over all sound.

  • @dkrumrie123
    @dkrumrie123 Před 7 lety +6

    Totally with Dan and the flanger being the only modulation pedal. It can fake a chorus, phaser and rotary decently well. Digging Mick's choice in cats, pretty sure that's a reissue cat but still good none the less.

    Revelation: modulation before drive! Thanks guys, don’t know why I’ve never tried this before but I just put my small stone before my drive pedals and can see me using it so much more now!

  • @jacksmith4460
    @jacksmith4460 Před 4 lety +15

    I have an EHX Crayon, and its killer for getting extra grain, or aggression out of another gain source (amp or pedal).
    Its a hidden Metal beast, I dont know why more metal guys dont use them over TS pedals.
    You can dial far more bass out (great for low tunings) and if you amp pre does not quite do metal by itself, it with thrust it into metal territory (usually a slight to large bass cut slight treble boost) with gain on next to nothing (8 oclock) volume anywhere from 12 oclock to full, and it will make your amp grittier and boost and add compression .
    To me it can be used like a "turbo" tube screamer when you need to add more punch and grit as well as compression. On amps that have hi gain but are maybe a little smooth or sweet sounding (maybe more blue rock oriented) you can make them snarl with the Crayon, and focus the bass/low end far better than any tube screamer. It does not have much more gain passed 12 oclock and most of the bite i find is under 9 oclock gain, but its amazing. then there are the usual uses people use them for lool

    • @martinpadel7775
      @martinpadel7775 Před 3 lety

      So for itself does it work? I found it a little bit crunchy not in a good way for metal tones.

    • @jacksmith4460
      @jacksmith4460 Před rokem +1

      @@martinpadel7775 The way I use this pedal for metal is to stack into something RAT or OCD based that is maybe quite thick and a little too woolly usually, and it adds some edge , definition and tone shaping
      As a Core tone I dont think it works for Metal even when boosted, but using it as a boost through a more "muffled" sound, its brilliant.
      For metal I love it in front of a TRex Mudhoney2, it really enhances the grit and articulation , but you can set up the bass to be tight and modern or bigger and doomy,, I love it.
      Not sure if I answered your question

      With that kind of money it's easy to end up with only two-three pedals! ;) Let me say, Moog MF-104M Super Delay and a Klon Centaur and maybe with a WV MK2 as well. I would spend it like that, yey ;)

    • @tomsonkolson9007
      @tomsonkolson9007 Před 7 lety +1

      They are, absolutely! I do have a RYRA Klone pedal myself, and it's great. But my idea within Your idea was, if I had 3500 quids to spend on pedals, I would like to buy those "mythical" units and see if they are really worth the price. Probably not, hehe.

    • @DaveDexterMusic
      @DaveDexterMusic Před 7 lety +1

      I don't know if a Butler tube driver counts as mythical, but it's a pricy boutique and it's losing badly to a Fulltone OCD for something like 1/4th the price. I'll bend it to my will/sell it.

  • @kelven1976
    @kelven1976 Před 7 lety +3

    Dan to your question at 45:12 the toneprint app will only allow you to download pre-set tones, but (and this is where i spend countless hours of fun!) you can also download for free the tone print editor (i have it on my mac but there is also an iPad version which i haven't used yet). I have a sub n up so as well as having infinite control over those octave tones (and edit the presets / artists versions, etc) you can also add Corona Chrous, Voltex Flanger and / or shaker vibrato and have ability to edit how those tones are applied too. You can only add it to the wet signal (which makes sense or they'd only need to make these as a single pedal) but it does give you the ability to add those modulation sounds. So whilst you can't dial in your pedal to be a completely different pedal you can do a ton more than what the toneprint app can.........

    I think one of the coolest things here, revisiting 8 months later is that the enjoyment of and enthusiasm for these (less expensive) pedals is real and discernible. No need to have Uber-expensive, cork-sniffery pedals to enjoy pedals and tones. Pedal love for everyone at almost any price point. That’s the thing. Still well-done guys.

    Dan and Mick, I would love a show about guitars direct into a sound board for live performance. My Lead guitarist and myself(rhythm guitar + lead singer) fight with volume levels and tones all the time. We currently use guitar processors and a DI box, which we hate. But we are stuck in a SMALL venue for a cover gig. So I'm currently using a boss me-20. Which I freakin hate. But I get a great clean tone, but a crappy OD tone. Which I have learned from your show is because of PA headroom and lack of compression. I'm about to scrap my whole rig for a wampler plexi-drive plus, and some add on's, just get some tone and cut thru. My lead player uses a silver jubilee at home. I use a jcm 900 at home. But for our cover gig (American 90's alternative) we can't use. SO, post some options for the small venue/ PA sounds. Much appreciated, and also we love how one dude swangs and the other dude dials. That's how we do it too. Thanks, Doc + Stox, from Iraq. I should mention, our Cover Gig is from the Embassy in Iraq. So we can't buy just anything, we have to research on the net, test it quickly when we go home, and mule it in when we come back.

      Fun fact, at almost the exact same time same time that EHX released the Crayon, JHS released a stripped down version of the Colour Box that was just the pre-amp section for guitars. What did JHS call this simplified (and significantly less expensive) version of the Colour Box? “Crayon,” naturally. I am not aware that JHS and EHX got in any legal tiff over this; just a funny coincidence.

    My choices would have been VERY similar to Dan's: The Blues Driver is one of my favorite BOSS pedals ever. As far as modulation, I go back & forth between the Electric Mistress and a uni-vibe of some sort, my current fave being The Depths by Earthquaker Devices. Also, instead of the Soul Food, I'd have the Hoof fuzz, also by Earthquaker Devices. The delay is just spot-on - you can't go wrong with anything made by Maxon.

      If, however, you need exactly what it does, then nothing else will work.

      There's no reason for the modulations, delays or reverbs on multi-effect units to be worse. Under the hood, most of them are digital. I'd like to see them have a go at the Zoom MS series, particularly the 70CDR that omits any sort of distortion.

    • @superiormind2511
      @superiormind2511 Před 7 lety +5

      I think the problem with multi effects demos is that it takes years to really learn how to use any multi effect properly. It's taken me 12 years to master my Boss ME-50 and I'm still trying new things with it. But I'll tell you what, no one with a pedal board has been able to top my tone yet.

    Total: 307.97
    I usually use a sub octave in my band (which I would swap the Trelicopter for, but felt it didn't really count as a "modulation" pedal)
    What I'd REALLY like to see you guys do is buy cheap guitars and mod them for a budget of, say, £350. Perhaps a bullet strat/tele and then any money left over goes on upgrades.
    Excellent episode, and thank you so much for alleviating my mental health crisis this Friday!

    After revisiting this episode I decided to price a hypothetical $350 board, and it would consist of a Boss SD1, Proco Rat, Boss CE5 and a Mini Flashback. If you look you can find those four pedals new and leave enough money for a 1spot, patch cables, velcro and a piece of wood to stick them on. I never tried the Rat but videos I've watched make it seem like a great pedal. I do have the CE5 and Mini Flashback and those are excellent. It's nice to go back and watch these old episodes occasionally. It never gets old!
