A Hang With Rabea [Strats, Pedalboard Update, Music Man, Neural, Real Amps, Stormzy & More!]

[@andsoistopped]

Another example of a quality human in the world of guitars, tones and gear.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Abso-bloody-lutely! He is a shining beacon of our species.

Totally agree but would change it to ‘quality humans’.

Rumour has it the list of best people in the universe is 1. Keanu reeves 2. Rebea massaas 3. Santa Claus

[@davedavem]

Rabea- my guitar hero. Nuno- Rabea's guitar hero. Eddie- Nuno's guitar hero. All of them - amazing rhythm-first guitar players that started as drummers. Me - occasionally annoy my kids by beat-boxing 😂

Myself also being named Dave, this checks out.

Yup!

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

Rabea is one of my fav players of all time. He is so unique and humble. Great dude!

[@acdclexu6296]

Bea is just a inspiration absolute beast

[@bradkillingsworth4137]

Couldn’t agree more. His playing is very unique and tasty

[@leftchicago]

Not a metal guy at all, but I respect and admire the hell out of Rabea. So massively talented, and yet so humble. Massive success to you, brother.

[@nathanmontover1436]

Rabea deserves every bit of the success he has earned 🤘

[@jittboy1]

He has to earn that and can start by writing a great song the masses want to hear like a evh. Lots of great guitarist in the world he happened to catch a break with choppers and andertons with out those two he is still playing in his bedroom just being honest!

[@ChainsawChristmas]

​@@jittboy1that's not honesty. That's just your opinion. You have no idea what he'd be doing without those other creators.

[@jittboy1]

@@ChainsawChristmas so unless he writes a stairway to heaven Panama or Eric Clapton Layla and he can sing and play guitar you will never be a legend . Earning your way? He has not he is a decent player and I watched him way before andertons but let’s face it ? His playing didn’t not get him where he is at it was choppers and andertons . He was not on the radio as an artist my opinion yep but with 3 Grammies and earning my way to biggest stages in the world I think it holds some value. But what do I know I was in guitar player magazine 2 times cover and 5-6 articles over last 30 years. But yeah just an opinion lol

[@sixslinger9951]

I'm an old dude and love his style. Very inspirational playing. His note choices and phrasing are top notch.

[@m3m3sis]

Bea is one of those new age guitar gods that don't intimidate but instead inspire. He does his own thing really stellar. And that's what we should strive for. Being the best me.

[@ccaputa]

No matter what style Rabea plays, he always plays with such feel, emotion, melody and rhythm.

[@JacktheSadArmadillo]

Love how happy Rabea sounded when Mick said they did a great job with his guitar

[@bscheirman]

I think Rabea is THE person to convince Dan & Mick that QC can hold its own against these huge rigs. Here's a vote for another appearance!

[@p4uli016]

the smile on Mick's face when Rabea starts playing. Priceless

[@dolan1]

Watching Mick and Dan's reactions to Bea's playing is the ultimate. You can feel the level of respect there, my god what a player. Rabea absolutely crushes.

[@markharris2562]

Rabea is such a killer player, and so humble about it. Mick's kindness and precision with the flying beast shows what a company of awesome humans you all are. Thank you for a great episode!

[@GitShiddy]

The tone fly stayed on the cab for the entirety of the outro playing. ...Legend.

[@stuart_rose]

I’m far from a high gain fandangler, but, there’s something so moving about Rabea’s voicings and vocabulary that brings me to tears of joy ❤️

[@evanmiller2579]

You three together on a Friday....doesn't get much better than that! What a great show and incredible tones. I bet it was loud and epic in the room. Well done.

[@clive4834]

Blooming amazing. Rebea’s playing and tone absolutely spot on.

[@HALman1973]

The joy on Mick's face whenever Rabea plays is wonderful.

[@matthewcollis-long5233]

“I feel more complete as a musician having seen it”. Possibly the most Spinal Tap thing ever said about Spinal Tap. 😂❤

[@jeffreyradick6486]

Rabea just keeps getting better and better!

[@garethtodd1372]

Think we need another show with Rabea where he sets up Quad Cortex captures for TPS and compare them to the real amps.

[@nealpike6611]

Second tbus

[@Parariddle]

[@a.a.2271]

There is a new wave of young people bringing something new to the guitar camp; Rabea and Plini are on the top IMHO

[@boggeshzahim3713]

Plini is like 47 years old mate

[@a.a.2271]

​@@boggeshzahim3713 he is 31...

[@shfnderrock]

Rabea is an absolute beast, his style and playing is mesmerizing

[@UrbanSelfSufficiency]

I would LOVE to see another session like this with Rabea, but just him going through the Archetype and the QC with the boys.

[@daysleeper3910]

I do like Rabea, and the moves he is making. He's evolving into a very interesting artist in his own right.

[@AngryAndyToth]

So glad to see Rabea in the pedal room once again. I still remember watching the episode maybe a day into lockdown, still shocked by the fact it was happening and then you ended it Bea doing a play through of Prayermonger and even though I already knew the song well, it still brought me to tears with everything going on. I’m very thankful that we are in different times now.

[@lotusmark2]

I've known Bea for many years, you couldn't ask for a more genuine guy!

[@colinhardy6396]

I’ve just watched Rabea playing reading six times. Totally fantastic performance. Love how Rabea is so thankful of the opportunity.

[@birdsfabulous]

Rabea honestly seems like the type of guy thats impossible not to like..proper gentlemen...incredible player with a unique voice on that fiddle

[@robomalo]

Love the last few seconds. Totally know that moment when you can’t help but laugh because you’re in the presence of greatness.

[@danpechacek3855]

Amazing how time passes. That last Rabea video was eye opening in the early pandemic days - I’ve revisited it multiple times since. Great to see you three catching up and think about all the ways we’ve changed/grown in these last few years!

[@drichcymru]

Bea has to be one of the most versatile players on the planet right now. A master craftsman capable of ripping your face off on stage or melting your heart in the studio. I was gutted when Black Peaks called it a day but to hear Bea is now working not just with Liam (Totemist is awesome) but Joe too is some of the best news I've heard this year.

[@stevenpippin6079]

Rabea episodes are so informative. The combination of his thought process and then a played example is just some of the best displays of a personal tone journey. Inspirational stuff. Thanks so much guys.

[@markholmes2665]

Rabea.....such a beautiful touch and phrasing....and when he wants to blaze with a flurry of notes, he is sublime......a GREAT guitar player, with a GREAT tone.

[@RafsanBasher]

Rabea's slightly crunchy clean tone is one of the best out there.

[@PureJadeKid]

Dan and Mick are amazing. To care so much about tone to have a serious conversation about modelers and to be realistic about the tradeoffs and advtanges and disadvantages. So useful to teach those watching about using the right tool for the job. Enjoy your analog gear when it makes sense. Be inspired by your favorite gear, use digital tools if it makes sense too. Win win win. Great interview.

[@periloustemple8290]

I love how he rocks, but when he plays that sweet chimy beautiful stuff, I am slain. I love seeing you 3 together. Day made. Amazing show. As a not metal player, I love how it sends me to the work shed to practice - and to think about my all too "traditional" mid gain, stacky thing. I might not change, but I am freshly inspired. Lots of love!

[@1rondark]

Being a Canadian I somehow overlooked your guest but boy, did I enjoy that. I listened LOUD.

[@Stringtrees]

A lovely Friday treat to have Rabea. On paper, he is not a guitarist that I would normally gravitate towards but I have been a huge fan for many years because he is simply superb and unique, inventive, fluid and melodic. Lovely to see him playing a Strat as that is my main territory. Thanks Dan and Mick for yet another excellent episode.

[@scoresandflames]

Oh Rabea, thank you for naming Philip Sayce. What a gem! And thank you Dan & Mick for having Rabea on the show again. I hope he returns soon enough for another episode of GREAT SOUNDS and humble inspirations.

[@willunderwood7326]

I was at Reading, his intro was the highlight of my weekend! Spent the whole evening showing friends vids of Rabea playing afterwards. Another great TPS vid - thanks :)

[@davidjanzen5728]

Was away on a long term job,2 years and unable to watch that pedal show. So I'm a little suprized at seeing a strat in Dan's hands!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Don’t be too concerned David, it’s only because we were talking about Strats. Welcome back 🤓👍

[@taylormoon3561]

Can Rabea please be a permanent part of the show? I need entire episodes about how he crafts his heavy tones.

[@MrMystery666]

Love how Dan actively listens and absorbs. Makes me think pay more attention

[@rob9340]

Rabea. Guitar hero for me. His unique style, from early Chapman vid days to Dorje to Toska. Hope to hear the next music coming up. Keep at it Bea!

[@denislachance6277]

Totemist is the next stage

[@rob9340]

@@denislachance6277 thanks! I will look it up.

[@cgmxtreme70]

I was so beyond excited to see Rabea was going to be on the show. He is one of my favorite guitarists on the planet. And to have Dan and Mick with Rabea is like having the perfect Fish and Chips and getting the best dessert to go with it.

[@BrianVallotton]

The best part of my day! Rabea and the boys! God bless you all!

[@steveymoon]

Honestly, that story of every moment leading up to walking out on stage at Reading sounds horrendous. I think I'd have crumbled. Top marks to Rabea for holding it together. A true pro.

[@kmac.]

Would definitely like to see Rabea back with QC and some Music Man guitars in tow!

[@l.like.too.practice.]

My bro's , thank you all very much , Great video Rebea my favourite guitarist Love the shirt Rebea ! Great band from Western Australia karnivool

[@petergraham9267]

Love Rabea's playing.....such passion and so interesting......and I have NEVER heard anyone get such a HUGE sound! 😎😎😎

[@richardreed6538]

Another WOW. I love Rabea, and have been following him since the early Anderton’s sound like videos. There are a lot of us going to be saying we remember him when because he is a rare talent, a better human being, and I really think his time to explode onto the scene as one of the major flag carriers for guitar is not too far off. And when he does it’s a win for the good guys because after the years of watching and listening to him you can’t fake his kind of humble. Just wait, soon we can brag about listening to him when. Great stuff guys, you’re the best there is.

[@aljohno72]

Shivers down my spine at the end 🙌

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Love Bea. I think you videotaping the lunch conversation would also have been gold.

[@PPIMV]

Fantastic - another great show - what a nice player Rabea is! The change to the anodized pick guard was actually huge! I have one of those pick guards - now I have to put it on a Strat....

[@rickysleeper]

Love, love, love Rabbi's playing and approach to tone. Thanks for the close ups of the pedal board. I took a screenshot and now my Strymon's sound great!!

[@fendermke]

Great show and also love it when you have Rabea on. Been a big fan of his for some time thanks to TPS and Andertons. The pickup guard difference was also noticeable. Which I prefer would depend on the context but in general I liked the Aluminum over the Plastic guard. Can’t wait for when he’s back for the QC and Music Man episode! Thanks for all the great content over the years!

[@jrchanning]

What a treat to see Rabea at TPS again, such a great player who can go from atmospheric cleans to the heaviest of tones and everything in between and such a brilliant guy as well 😄🎸😄

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

Fabulous Show Leg Ends, it's great to see Rabea again, when I saw him doing the Reding gig I was so nervous but of course he absolutely nailed it it almost brought a tear to an old man's eyes! I been watching him from his early days on Anderton's the man was class then & still the same now CLASS . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE .

[@jeffreylbfd]

Great video! Love the decibel meter behind Rabea. Pushed 100db, while Tim Lerch was maxed at 65db two weeks ago. Has to be loud in there. Keep the great content coming Mitch and Dan!!! It is greatly appreciated.

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

One of the best episodes you folks have ever done. I am a Quad Cortex player and can’t wait for Rabea to show Mick the light.

Oh to be a fly on the wall for that session. Well ... up to a point. Cheers chaps, great tones.

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

We ought to give this fine young man a proper horn blast. I’ve listened to him since Dorje, which I believe has also gone bust as well. Cracking guitar sounds still coming out of his hands to this day!

Just went and watched the Redding Festival intro on Rabea's channel. Wow! What an EPIC intro! Bro you absolutely killed! ☠️☠️

[@didifischervideo]

Really nice! At first I thought "not my music, but a good musician". Then I watched some YT videos: quite impressive the spectrum of his music from metal, progressiv rock to "soul" : ) And impressive how much he seems to love all kind of reverbs on his board: the whole first row on his board...

[@windowsoflife]

Great show! I got to catch the Landreth Bros for their last show this tour in Kansas City, MO. Astounded, Amazed, Perplexed by mythic clouds descending in the room!

i also ordered the PDF pedal because of how it sounded when Rabea turned it on and MY GOD the minute i plugged it in i just started writing riffs. SO much fun!

Great episode! Thank you. Wasn't familiar with Rabea until now. The tonal difference between the plastic and aluminum pickguards was shocking. Who knew??
