Boss DD-200, Revival Drive Compact, Fender Bubbler, Spaceman Gemini IV - That Pedal Show

[@rockpebble100]

I’ve never double commented before but fml that DD200 is incredible. In fact it’s almost the perfect four pedal board for the sounds you got in no time at all. Boss really got it right with this pedal.

[@danwuzhere03]

I don't think I can get through a single episode of TPS without grabbing my guitar halfway through. You guys inspire me like crazy 🤘🤘

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hooray! That’s the idea. :0)

[@eskilseter]

That RevivalDrive contains some of the best tones I've ever heard on this show. I want it.

[@antonr.2101]

I think you convinced me to buy a $400 pedal.......I never would have thought that possible. That Revival Drive is loaded with the sweet guitar tones of my subconscious dreams....

[@BelleNOiRtv]

Honestly, I think adding these backing tracks and jamming to them is one of your greatest ideas! Please continue this!

[@musicmann1967]

The Revival Drive Compact is amazing! I've seen a few demos of it now, and it was SO smart of them to shrink it down. I think everyone knew that the original was brilliant, but very daunting to almost everyone. This compact version is next on my list!

[@ericcarpenter3263]

Micks EF-86 joke was spot on. Good thing I was between drinks of coffee, that would have been a mess.

[@andy_watt]

That jam was epic. Loved having you both being able to use all four pedals at will

[@JonNewquist]

Dang, I thought I didn't need another delay. Both of you just nailed your jams today. I especially enjoyed Dan's funk rhythms. I like it it when you riff off each other as well, so keep mixing it up!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

The Boss DD-500 (ver. 2.01- firmware update) now has a Binson Echorec. I Love their Tape & Analog Delays. The DD-500 is a Beast.

[@GuitarWithGabe]

4:33 ... that moment when all the gain is attained and sweet overloading fuzz is achieved. *faces melt*

[@weschilton]

Super fun show guys, great pedal choices.... that Gemini was amazing, especially with the Bubbler... what a cool sound. Love the solo jams, give you both a chance to play with the whole board. Great playing today Mick! You definitely seemed inspired.

[@stevenelson6895]

Don’t touch it, she’s goin’ Gotta be the best quote on TPS for ever 😂👍

[@lance134679]

Revival Drive sounds great, and you don't lose the character of the guitar.

[@horizontalblanking]

Glad to see Mick connecting with the Gemini and Revival Drive.... I know the Zoia was a hard "meal" to get thru. Spot on!

[@vincet68]

Oh, and to answer the question, I preferred the separate jamming here, because it gave a sense of what you’d each “taken” from each pedal by way of inspiration.

[@fenderjeff]

You should do single jams or double jams depending on what you guys are feeling. Both are excellent!!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

The new Boss delay has every thing you need for alive gig . Dead easy to use. But the most surprising is it's specs are better then Strymon, Eventide, and Empress! Yes the 'guys' into showing us quality sound not best value for money but this Boss is damn cheap for what you get! It is cheaper and much better then their high end offerings!

[@jameswilkins4motion]

Agreed fully mate

[@mattgilbert7347]

Which specs and better how? I have an Empress Tape Delay, TC Nova, and one "mega" delay, the Source Audio Nemesis. Looking at a DD200 to replace my old TC Nova Delay and, just maybe, the Nemesis.

[@cwyatt034]

If you guys liked the Gemini IV then snag a Voyager Trem. It's a top 5 pedal I have ever played and I sold mine in a moment of intense GAS and have regretted it since. Havent' been able to get another one for over a year now. The Titan II is also just incredible, cleans up well and is dead simple to dial in. Spaceman gets hype but the stuff delivers errrrtime.

[@winstonsmith8236]

Chris Wyatt check out the Drolo Twin Peaks v5 of you haven’t already- only Trem I’ve played or heard that beats the Voyager

[@DragonofLimerick]

Separate jamming was very, very cool, but I love hearing the two of you bounce off of each other more.

[@tompoynton]

Spaceman! Finally!

[@klontart]

Congrats on the added backing tracks section. This really adds tons of vibe to the episodes! Good stuff 👍🏼

[@SoRadAwesomeStCool]

As someone who really, really, really dislikes fuzz, that pedal actually sounds amazing. 😲

[@rangerjonoutdoors6429]

Yall tore that jam at the end to shreds! Revival drive sounds amazing here. Gonna have to try one. Rock on !

[@gvbjr.6693]

I really like the single! Mic and Dan free styling gives us many different flavors of what the pedals can do. However ,you need to jam together at the end to pull it all together!

[@klontart]

Totally sold on the Gemini. That thing sounds brutal.

[@tylerostermayer6726]

Best episode! The pedals all slay, and those jams at the end were absolutely killer. Sometimes I forget how great of guitar players you both are! Just wow.

[@johnpierson8398]

You guys are extremely crackin' good guitar blokes! A video for the ages.

[@Rustocaps]

Backing tracks have been on freaking point! Love the one at a time jamming.

[@livingthedream137]

That add9 chord rule is real. Don’t mess with the Chorus authorities.

[@jakefrancis9521]

This is actually a pretty sweet pedal board. Fuzz, OD, chorus and delay - everything I'd need.

[@davidtexmex1616]

100% agreed

[@JustPlaneStupid69]

Addendum to my fuzz comment: every time I watch your show I wind up jamming something new. It’s the craziest damn thing.

[@ebeep]

Wow, that DD-200 is really winning me over! It also helps that the '80s NASA control room aesthetic is classic AF.

[@johnpalmer1005]

I love you guys! I have the Gemini and the Origin Revival drive. They are totally killer. I love your shows and both of your playing very much. Thank you so much!

[@subrosablues]

How about a "Battle of the Jamage" approach, your guitars are plugged into an A-B-Y box then to the board, you each get 30 second intervals to pave the road for the handover in the jam.

[@samuelxavier2473]

Some really tasty playing there, guys. I can see merit in both versions; solo and together. You work well together, trading licks and so on but it's good to see one sitting back and digging the other's playing. Mick's face when Dan was getting into the Gemini was a picture.

[@EDKguy]

I've had the Bubbler for about a month and it is by far my favorite chorus pedal. Very Strymon type build. It has ramping when it changes flavors, so you get that Leslie majic happening. Kicked Lex off my board

[@patriotpizzaman]

Woooh Nelly! Dan chopping heads at the end jam!!!! Killed it! I'm also on the fence with the double Vs. single jam debate. I love seeing you guys trade off and the interesting ways you alternate from strutting your stuff to falling back into supporting the rhythm track but, you guys just gave a great display individually on this one that wouldn't have come off in the double jam. I say flip a coin before each jam and let 'er rip!

[@smwatson1512]

I see I'm finally starting to influence you, Mick. I picked up my AVRI '59 strat (in lovely Sherwood Green) a few months ago, and now you're following my lead. Very refreshing. I look forward to you getting progressively worse at playing guitar as your mission to be me continues...

[@ThatPedalShow]

Nice!

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I reckon' they've distilled the essential Revival Drive features perfectly into the Compact edition. The right balance of versatility and complexity. With that in mind I actually think they should revise the dual channel.

[@williamsmothers8830]

Just sat down to watch the 'sode. However, I did want to thank you for all the efforts you have made over the years, Mick and Dan. While finishing my pedal board last night, I had a question on running a graphic EQ before or after my fuzz and I recalled an old episode and sure enough, you two gave the topic your thorough attention. I was also highly entertained by seeing how far the show has come! One of these days, you may get it right.

[@ionobelisk]

Interesting set of pedals, especially the Spaceman Gemini. Excellent jamming from both: you seemed quite fired up 😁

[@therandomturtle2617]

I’ve had a DD-20 for over 10 years now. Have been wanting to get something more up to date but like Mick, didn’t want to get something overly complicated (including the DD-500). The DD-200 is practically identical to the DD-20 in layout with the up to date options I’m looking for. So glad to see it and hear it!

[@ubenjammin2]

I have been waiting for a long time to see some Spaceman on this show! Finally!!

[@JRNicholson27794]

Playing over tracks is excellent! Both of your playing just seems to come alive much more! Also like hearing you individually so we hear how different your approaches are

[@dickybird6916]

That revival drive is ridiculous. An episode of just that pedal with all your guitars running through it would be great

[@duncanearley]

But the price though? Are we just hearing the $$$?

[@dickybird6916]

@@duncanearley always. There's so much more to it than perceived cost though. Binning components to find ones that match tolerances is labour intensive.

[@OriginEffectsUK]

@@dickybird6916 Thought I'd jump in on this as part of the RevivalDRIVE build process involves matching JFETs - we have to do this for the same reason that valve amps need matched output valves. It's labour-intensive and adds to the RRP but results in a better sounding distortion and less hum. We don't know of any other company who will go this far but we're proud to say that we will!

[@stephenpilant7566]

Amazing as always!! Thanks for the inspiration. Stay blessed guys.

[@Darota529]

Awesome tones!! Also, I really liked that you were able to use all the pedals at once for parts of the jamming. I don't know how intentional that was, but the idea of creating a new usable board-combination for each of these vids is great!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Also this is the first DD200 demo that showcases the looper! Didn’t realize it did that. Immediately kills the EHX Grand Canyon... Would love to see those A/B’ed.

[@vincet68]

All 4 pedals had great sounds/features here. I thought the Gemini was going to be my fave, but the Revival is something else. GAS for the drives and delay here (I’m not a chorus guy)

[@justinoneil6971]

Damn. Great playing guys...this is turning into more of a performance show for me than an informational show. No complaints...keep the jammage! #becausetoan

[@wrd2thebigbird]

That was awesome to watch. Very inspiring playing. I love when you guys jam together, but this was really fun to watch, and the jam was epic!!

[@TheMarkusHK]

The Gemini is insane!

[@sam4667]

Dan your jam on the DD200 looper was instant Durutti Column. Lovely.

[@ryanstark2350]

That Boss pedal looks very nice. Simple to use but with all the basic features you'd want.

[@aintnothinbutdablues]

You just convinced me of two more pedals I did not know I needed! Talking about the Revival drive compact and the Boss DD200 of course.

[@grega1207]

While I'm not a huge fan of fuzz, that Gemini was quite good. As for the Revival Drive compact, ahhhhhh ...... warm butter!! So nice.

[@chrismundayguitar]

Welcome back Gents... it’s been a while since you guys have made covet more pedals... everyone a banger here today & I want all of them 🤣 awesome jams too 👍

[@cirjames2540]

Dan is channeling his inner John McLaughlin/Mahavishnu Orchestra 29:32. Fantastic TPS as always!

[@SlingShot830201]

Revival Compact. Honestly. What an immense sounding pedal.

[@williamsmothers8830]

That Boss pedal is really nice!! The looper function seems really good, too. The Gemini Fuzz reminds me of the Keeley Fuzz Bender - two sided, some frequency tuning functions, blending between Si and Ge. I need to look into these pedals. I really liked that Hive pedal from last week as well - I need a new fuzz. I like and am learning about fuzz, but am not really happy with this Wicker Big Muff Pi.

[@grahamkelly8299]

Mick's solo at the end was epic!!!

[@fabianericson5454]

I say, solo jam, dual jam, get a guest in and jam. Just go with the flow and Jam!! Great playing with great sounding pedals!!!

[@denismguitar1552]

Great fuzzy goodness!

[@bobbaumeister5243]

Very cool and brilliant Jam Guys! With backing tracks -. If the horse-drawn carriage goes off completely!

[@WayneHoldenMusic]

Play together!!!!!!!!!! We need more of that in the world these days!!!!

[@casenowie]

Hey guys, Nice pedals and playing on this episode! Really liked the Revival Drive and the new Boss Delay. To be able to focus on the sounds of the pedals (in the mix) I would say Single jams with the backing track or Double jams without backing track. Still hope the "old" VCQ format will be back. Cheers!

[@muuhn]

consider me twiddled, there are some fuzzin awesome tones on this show

[@DavidWilliams-iq3eu]

I think mix the jammage up as you feel like it. Both ways fun to watch / listen in their own ways. Enjoying the new format.

[@Jaysteenn]

We need a Strymon Volonte vs Boss DD 200 video comparing tape and drum style delays. :-) I always love the videos comparing tape and drum style delays.

[@freightliner2926]

For sure! Their tape delay videos got me to switch to less analog delay and more tape style delays.

[@MrBingping]

@@freightliner2926 they got me to switch to actual tape units which has been great for my ears, not so much for my wallet lol

[@zbqb84a]

Wow, Boss has been crushing it. Yesterday I was drooling over the RC-10r but that DD-200, damn. Sounds great. I need to take a serious look at it. I've been paralyzed by delay choices and that one is ticking all the boxes.

[@shadowulf]

Agreed I've been looking into having 2 or 3 delay/echos for my rig. The Boss might keep that down to 2.

Both jams have their merits. Its good to hear just one at a time and its also good to hear you both go at once. You guys sounded really comfortable on this one independently.

[@scottw9732]

Great stuff, guys. I think I liked the solo jamage, but only because the last time there was as much twiddling as playing, it seemed. Cool that each of you could use all the pedals, too.

[@sam4667]

The DD500 does indeed have the Echorec model with all the head combos available (along with the Space Echo and Echoplex) in the tape delay section. It was a v3 update a couple of years ago btw. They added a lot of functionality after release. And obviously it's in the DD200 on release. And it still sounds fantastic.

[@mr.simmons2144]

Single jam-nice to have each of you get a chance to sit back and enjoy the others playing. Fun also watching you mentally steal licks from one another.

Mick's glasses make him look like Harry Potter's uncle. You don't need a wand though, as you have magic fingers. "that's what she said". P.S. Jams come in many flavours, and some are a mix of fruits. It's always nice to have a bit of variety.

[@shinjial]

The chorus sounds kinda rotary-ish, wonder why. The Revival DriveCompact has set a new benchmark for amp-in-a-box pedals since it came out. Every single showcasing of it has sounded spetacular. The jam part sounded great, you guys had a selection of pedals you clearly liked. I think I'd like to see the both of you play together, though. I like the possibility of a call-and-response type of thing to happen. And it's cool seeing you guys trying to complement each other during the playthrough.

[@ChrisHendrix117]

Pretty epic solo jams at the end fellas! I was diggin' that Bubbler with the fuzz too. Really wide but not seasick detune. The 2 of you though have caused me major work and cash because after seeing the way wet/dry rigs really opens things up I have gone to a wet/stereo dry/wet rig.. Lotsa laughs wiring that baby up. I had to come up with a way to make a `3 channel snake to wire it. Ah but really .I guess it was really s labour of love inspired by yes, That Pedal Show.
