Funnily enough, I just removed the Cali 76 from my board after a year or so of fiddling around, just to go back to my trusty big yellow box Diamond compressor. The second I put if back on the board, I said.. "finally, the sound I've been looking for". 🍁

@kevinlt143 4 ай бұрын

I recently redid my board as well with a focus on fewer pedals that do more. Absolutely love OD pedals with multiple gain stages, toggle switches, etc. Also finally landed on a GFI Specular Tempus (MASSIVE shout out to Matt at Pedal Empire for his help getting me sorted on that!). My "challenge" to myself was that I have my sights set on a new Atom, so I had to limit to 7 pedals. I Marie Kondoed a couple gain stages that I liked but really were just different versions of the same thing, and honestly, it's the happiest I've been. Within a song, I have limited choice on gain stages (I generally don't like to bend down to toggle things during a song), but I can have some songs still have different gain structures. As with anything pedal (or life) related, YMMV, but thank you both so much for inspiring many of us to buy the ticket and take the ride :)

Everything is considered as you would expect from Dan, but that outro (chefs kiss emoji)... There have been so many TPS videos that end with epic outro solos, so here's quick and hopefully easy solution to YT shorts for you to produce Mick - Grab a few of these (one per video), throw a brief intro onto the front of the video for context and call it a YT and crowd pleaser, easy and awesome. Thanks for the constant inspiration D&M.

This is the kind of content I want in 2024! Fantastic video and tones! I really like the idea of a post gig regroup on both boards. I think that could be a great learning experience for us as audience. TPS has been so instrumental in shaping my board. I value both of your opinions. You have great ears and get to use so much cool gear. My board is currently Origin Cali76 Stacked > Mythos Argo > Horrothia Teeth > Thorpy Fallout Cloud > Chase Bliss Automatone Preamp MKII > Fairfield Shallow Water > Chase Bliss Thermae > Free The Tone Future Factory > Chase Bliss CXM 1978 You guys really should try the Horrothia stuff, it’s great and it’s a British company. The Shallow Water might appeal to Dan as well.

@subjectt.change6599 4 ай бұрын

I use an EQD Swiss Things, not just for the loops and amp splitting, but for the transformer that’s on output 2. The boost circuit is pre transformer, and thus it can drive the transformer into saturation, and give that warm dynamic band pass effect that we typically associate with tubes.

The LVX is like having the H9 or H90 with a dry thru - so it solved the problem that kept me from getting into that digital texture world.

@IamMusicNerd 4 ай бұрын

An interesting video idea would be to have Mick and Dan with their pedal boards and cabinets in the room with them, but not the amps. In a separate room would be 6-8 different amps heads with a switcher, with their boards going into it, then out into the cabinets in the room with them. Then they can switch back and forth between the different amps without knowing which is which, and see if they can tell which amp is which, or which they like best. Could have a combination of some high end amps with some cheaper ones mixed in. Maybe Micks Two Rock and Dan’s Matchless to see if they pick those or something else. Maybe even throw a Katana head in there to see if they can identify it compared to the others.

I had foolishly sold my second amp in need of funds and recently sold a lot of pedals to fund a Dr. Z z28 mkii (ef86 front end and two 5881’s). Why you ask? Because I can’t live without the wet/dry thing with my Diamond Vibrato. It enhances clean sounds, dirt sounds, all sounds, without sounding cheesy, and that volume control is perfect. Cheers!
